Today I wrote a very small library for converting games to multiplayer. I was able to convert my Go game so you can play online with other players.
Go demo is here. 2p library source code is available as a gist, or you can view the go game source code.
Today I hacked together a simple but servicable Go game. It uses chinese scoring, and you have to manually mark dead stones at the end of the game. You can play a demo here. Source code is on github.
Right now you have to sit down with someone else to play. I plan to spend a day adding multiplayer to a few games, if I have time.
Can't Stop is a push-your-luck style dice game designed by Sid Sackson in 1980. I've found it to be fun on BoardGameArena.
I wrote my own version for hack-a-day. You can play online. The source code is on github.
I'm pretty happy with this one. I didn't get to online play or even AI opponents, but you can play on your own or against friends in the room.
Today I wrote a little game where you make food in a kitchen.
You can play here. Source code is on github.
This was so-so. I didn't have a ton of fun making it, and it's not that fun to play either. I spent way too much time with things like trying to get sprites to load, and not as much on making the game fun. I think it could be much better with another day or two of work (as usual for hack-a-day).
Today's project was a "vibe piece". I've been obsessed with the idea of easy, relaxing games based on organization.
In this game, you sort squares into like colors.
You can play online here. Source code is on github.
I made a small game called Doodlemoji Alchemy, together with my friend Jennifer, as part of Hack-A-Day.
You can play it here.
You combine elements to make something new. Sometimes you get an old element:
Sometimes you discover a new one!
My friend Callen taught me some Godot, and we made an Easel Toy. You combine colors to make other colors. Nothing fancy.
I’m a fan of the game Dungeon Master II (1993). In fact, I’m planning to get a tattoo of the rune system. So I looked around for a reference image. Here’s one from the game manual:
This looked like a nice one, because it shows the game graphics:
But there’s one problem–an entire row of runes is missing. Here’s a corrected one I made.
It’s november, and I’ve decided this month that I’m going to do 30 projects in 30 days. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!
Today’s project is Hack-A-Farm (demo, source). It’s a simple tile-based RPG. You can walk around as a chicken, admire your house, and plant and harvest two types of crops.
My main goal with this project was to work with spritesheets or animation before, which I had never done. Showing off the individual tiles is deliberate. Also, the game should respond well to smaller and larger screens, I hope.
I had a good time with this one, and I’m happy with how much I got done in a day. I originally planned to do more fluid walking (it was called Hack-A-Walk), but it was more fun to add crops instead.
I re-used some of the logic from Hack-A-Minigame and Hack-A-Snake. I’ve been finding d3 to be mildly useful, if a little annoying.
It’s november, and I’ve decided this month that I’m going to do 30 projects in 30 days. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!
Today’s project is Hack-A-Hell (demo, source). It’s a bullet hell game combined with a music visualizer.
I’m happy with this one, although it took way too long given yesterday’s project! I keep thinking I’ll be able to modify or re-use things quickly, and it’s not true.
P.S. Taking the next day or two off for thanksgiving
