Video Game Posts – Hack Club Scrapbook

Yesterday I helped run the computer science table at our school district's middle school academy fair! talking hundreds of middle schoolers was very taxing, but it actually went great, we had a crowd around our table the entire time! I obviously advertised Hack Club a ton even though I was low on posters & flyers-- people loved the Sprig, the LED matrix (upcoming ysws 👀), the stickers, and most of all, the game! I projected my #C07MUFXNG82| pinball game onto the ceiling to draw people over & gave candy to people who could score 1000! I wanted to buy a gong with school budget that we could hit every time someone beat the high score, but even though it (shockingly) got approved it didn't arrive in time. Definitely gonna recreate this setup in the future!

Gonna try to start using scrapbook again! Today I spent a few hours making a cool startup animation for my Retrospect (MS-DOS) game! (DOS color palettes are hard!)

Today I added some combat to my game. The player has a sword and can now finally fight back against enemies! I just need some health bars now.

Today (yesterday) I added some more animations to my c++ & sdl2 game (so the player is not a plain blue box anymore). I also added some springs and fixed some scaling issues with fullscreen and resizing the window.

making some progress in my clicker game, added some more upgrades, not done for today probably gonna work for another hour or two

I made the menu for my first game today

started a new project, the Impractical clicker, an Impractical jokers clicker game, just some stupid idea me and my friend though of on call at like 12am so Im making it a thing

I completely forgot about Scrapbook all throughout making this. OOPS! I wrote and published my first crate and command-line utility in #C0121LVV79P|, spade-serial and spade-upload ! They can upload games to a #C02UN35M7LG| or whatever device running Spade. I spent a lot of time writing the tests and documentation.. I wanted to get it right since this is my first time, so I know what to do in the future. spade-serial is the crate that does the actual work while spade-upload is the application that makes use of the crate. It's useful to me because I use Safari on my MacBook and Firefox on my other laptop, neither of which implement the Web USB API, so this provides a way for me to put games on my Sprig without installing another browser that I don't want to use. I made spade-serial into a crate because I wanted to keep the logic separate so that people could apply it in multiple places, like maybe a GUI app. The game uploaded in the video is this game. I did not create it. GitHub Repository | spade-serial on crates.io | spade-upload on crates.io

Added some bats to my game. They still do way too much damage though, so they're a bit of a menace to society right now (I still need to fix that).

Added some animations to my game! There are green slimes now instead of plain red cubes.

Coursework :( i dont know how to make a game 😂

Just push a 🍬 Candy Crush Game my new project

Added entities to the level editor for my game. The game is in c++ with sdl2, but the level editor is in python with pygame-ce.

Today I continued working on the entity class in my game. I now have a working entity management system (along with some segmentation faults 😞 ) and better player following (not so hard to improve from what is was before 🙂), and a simple health bar.

released+uploaded my AI Warden game to the wonderdome today! yay!

The player can now be hurt by the enemies in the game (though the "following the player" script is kinda dubious (still need to fix that)).

Today, I worked on a decrypter and encryptor for Caesar’s cipher. Yeah, I know it’s kind of basic, but I figured it would be an interesting way to switch things up. After working on that for a while, I switched and added some coins to level 2 of my Slime Game, and then I started on level 3
