Another transpiler, y'all are so impressive! Game ran fine though the framerate seemed a little sluggish?
Still, amazing technical feat. I wish we added that fourth rating metric I suggested from the Spring jam.
Not bad, I found a bug where putting discs in the leftmost slot sometimes put discs on top of the last one instead of stacking them.
Great to have the animation and sound effects too, good stuff +1.
Really cool idea. The Jester README is a fun read.
I tried making this change, and now it lets me stack above the second row:
Hey nice job! Janet is fantastic and making a javascript version is awesome. This is a good demo for it
As a REBOL-refugee, Janet is the first place I've really felt at "home" (although it could totally use a built-in cross-platform declarative GUI...). PEG is great to have handy, and Jester is basically the outcome of a mad evening of "hey... if I did this, then I could also do that..." . I've since learned that there's a complete Janet-syntax PEG here not to mention the `parse` function which just handles a lot of the heavy lifting for me. So, once I finish my next project... there will probably be some new developments.
Thanks for taking a look!
Congratulations on making your own lisp. This is a great demo!
The movement and interface are simple and intuitive.
I saw a few bugs if you want to DM me. But this impressive work. Great job.
Hi! Glad you found it interesting! Not sure how to direct message, so please feel free to list issues here. Thanks!
Seems to play well enough. I didn't have a second player to compete against however. A successful experiment.
I considered a robot player, but frankly, I was lucky to get the game as it was working...
The rules are a little different to what I remember
Perhaps you played a more sophisticated version? My understanding was that the win condition was just four-in-a-row as described. Thanks for taking a look!
I think they may be meaning that you can continually stack tiles on the second row.
Oh phooey! I thought I was so clever, just checking to see if all slots were filled... Thanks for the explanation!
This is a reimplementation of a previously written, unsubmitted game -- but in a new "lisp" of my own making (Jester). I was planning to write a whole new game with it after proving it worked, but didn't get to it. So, while this is nothing special, I hope you'll enjoy it!
