#puzzlescript — Public Fediverse posts

I decided to join the Thinky Puzzle Game Jam this year and ended up producing a little #sokoban game about a ghost controlling a robot: https://puleo.itch.io/robot-ghost-sokoban

There are definitely some far more impressive entries in the jam than this one already ("One-Armed Bandit" in particular has really impressed me), but this game was a fun little excuse to learn #puzzlescript !

I think I am probably ready to set the jams aside for a bit though and go back to working on something at my own pace.

#gamedev

Still very much WIP but I'm linking my Sokoban Fan Game here for anyone who might be interested. Few dozen levels; just a few mechanics. Designed in part to be fun for my then-4-year-old, with varying success. PuzzleScript is great.

Die Wiederentdeckung von PuzzleScript

Als ich vor ein paar Tagen mehr oder weniger absichtslos meinen begehbaren Zettelkasten (aka Bibliothek) durchstöberte, geriet mir das Buch »Make Your Own PuzzleScript Games!« der großartigen Anna Anthropy zwischen die Finger. Und sofort begann es in meinem Kopf zu rumoren: PuzzleScript, hatte ich das nicht vor sechs Jahren schon einmal auf dem Schirm? https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026022501_puzzlescript/ #PuzzleScript #GameDev #Retrogaming

I just released a small update to my #Love2D Minigame Simulator project (from way back in 2014!!!)

Added a new skin based on my Quantum Phantom Photo #GBJam12 entry, and a new game based on my #PuzzleScript Filler game!

Vines, a plant-growing puzzle game by stfan in #PuzzleScript , is cool! 🪴

Seems to be an old #LudumDare game but I couldn't find anything on the contemporary web about the author 👻

the sidewalks in #Prague are paved with checkerboard five by five cobblestones.❤️

I think I found a #bug in #PuzzleScript Plus. If the "tween_length' flag is set, so player movement between cells is interpolated and not discrete, and 'background_color' is set to transparent, the player sprite starts to leave these kind of smears. it looks like previous player positions are not cleared from the screen?

Hey, the 2024 Confounding Calendar has started! ❤️

Play a free, one-screen #puzzle game every day during the month of December!

The first entry is ‘Pipe Bind’, by Melentis:

This is an experiment/interpretation/joke that I once shared in the #puzzlescript mailing list, but I just realized I never published it; perhaps because it's a bit janky... but perhaps some people will enjoy it:

I would love it If #PuzzleScript had a built-in hex-color picker!

@AndyGER Godot ist für Nichtprogrammierer eher ungeeignet, die Engine setzt schon gute Programmierkenntnisse entweder in GDScript (eine Art Python-Dialekt( oder C# voraus. Ich würde für diese Gruppe empfehlen, sich mal #GameMaker anzuschauen (oder – je nachdem, was man erschaffen will – #Twine, #TuesdayJS, #PuzzleScript). Mehr dazu in diesem Beitrag https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023112202_gamemaker_kostenlos/ (auch meinen Kommentar dazu beachten).

Channel networks, #WIP

I'm considering adding some form of procedural generation to this game to a greater or lesser extent

The deadline is in nine days, so its probably going to be limited to assets or room layouts, instead of fully procedural puzzles, at least this time.

Here's a test for making channel networks with a modded version of Prim's algorithm, from original code found on the #PuzzleScript forum (credit: Jere Majava)

#ProcGen #GameDev #IndieDev #Algorithm #Coding #Programming

pretty pastel #bug

(this happens when a bunch of new sprites are batch-copied into a running loop and #PuzzleScript momentarily confuses what goes into which layer)

truly loving the palette here!

My #PuzzleScript game 'Flower Eater' landed 1st in Fun (3rd overall) in the Summer #FediverseJam! Turns out PuzzleScript supports mobile by default as well, so this ended up being my first mobile-friendly game on my game dev journey. Check it out! https://russmatney.itch.io/flower-eater

I appreciate any feedback, especially b/c I'll be approaching an fully-featured godot-based version of these puzzles later this year.

Just created my first #PuzzleScript game, and submitted to the Summer Fediverse Jam! Much thanks to @Ategon for hosting!

Some more recent 5 x 5 pixel sprites*.

These are part of the free tile set i'm making for the PuzzleScript format. I'm still actively working on this - going into month no. 3 now. I'm eyeing a release before September.

* (I've posted some of these before on the old account).

my #gmtkjam "game"! well, "garden" or "fishtank" is probably a better description. a relaxing little experience:

Some recent 5 x 5 pixel sprites.

i'll release these soon, for free, as part of the tile set i'm making for the PuzzleScript format.

This weekend's output.

I'm really happy with the goldfish; it fits in one five-by-five pixel tile, and uses the 9 color per-tile limit that #PuzzleScript allows for.

OK, so i changed some of the denominators for the UI tile sprites i'm currently working on to the Unicode box drawing characters, and when I save this out, #PuzzleScript prints ASCII* to the line table! ♥️

(*edit: it's not ASCII per se, more ASCII-like art. Still learning...)

I've been trying to make a game for years and finally made a little one thanks to #puzzlescript

it takes just a few minutes to play

@Fuzzyp

Our game design is an intro class that covers web design, JS, Unity, iOS apps

1st quarter the main focus is HTML & CSS, but also use arcade.makecode.com #makecode & puzzlescript.net #puzzlescript to keep it fun and game-centered

2nd quarter #javascript & p5js. Button pressing games. Basic html form elements. Drawing in #p5js

3d quarter JavaScript ES6 classes & objects. Then we switch to CSharp #unity3d & Unity’s Create with Code.

4th quarter #Swift & #Xcode

@henesy my first recommendation would be to check out #uxn.

other suggestions include:
- #pico8
- #minicube64
- #puzzlescript

and if you want historical machines that are commonly emulated i think #c64, #atari, or #nes could be interesting.

Abenteuer PuzzleScript: Schieb doch die Kisten zur Seite

Joseph Mansfield hat eine weitere kleine, in PuzzleScript erstellte Perle aufgetan und durchgespielt. »Putting the Blocks Away« von Holy Mahagony beschreibt eine Situation, die wohl jedes Elternteil kennt. Es will aufräumen und die Spielzeugkisten beiseiteschieben, aber der verzogene Sprößling hockt auf dem Sofa vor dem Fernseher und quengelt, wenn man die freie Sicht auf den Bildschirm blockiert. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/05/2022052103.html #PuzzleScript
