Tracking down an extremely annoying hiscore bug. Haven't been able to pinpoint where I've gone wrong with the calculations though, conversions seem to be working fine. Hmm. Gotta keep hunting.
I'm extending the game I wrote for #TweetTweetJam. I've added different map styles, support for up to four simultaneous players, gamepad control, and a single-player mode against computer-controlled opponents.
@Liquidream Not technically the 10th anniversary since we ran it twice a year for the first few years! But I think we should definitely do something special for TTJ10!
If you’ve been on the fence, there’s still time to join! Make a tiny game in 500 characters of code! We’re up to 48 participants and 44 entries so far! Think we can hit 50?
Took things down from 1500 chars to 637, but things are looking pretty dire at this point! Not sure how I can take this down any further, will have to try again tomorrow!
Wasn't sure I would have time for #Tweettweetjam but here I am, 455 characters in.
I was over budget with monster map collisions (probably wouldn't be now!), so the "solution" was "what if the monsters are eating the level?" Still need to add win/lose conditions.
Come make a game in 500 characters of code with us! We’ve got 37 participants and 16 entries so far! We accept multiple entries too, so if you want to submit a few, go right ahead!
Really messed up todays #TweetTweetJam attempt, accidentally had pico8 in token count mode instead of character count mode. Switched it over and was at like 900. Nightmare.
Going to shelve this one for pruning tomorrow and start something simpler from scratch.
Got a nice game loop now! 10 seeded levels, hiscore saving, basic sound. At 1500 chars of code right now (which is 3x the jam limit), so now it's time to strip things back!
Making progress on this little tile swapper for TweetTweetJam! Need to scale up difficulty whenever you finish a level, then start stripping back characters!
