Did you work in a team?
A one person team!

Was the resolution a challenge?
Just a simple memory test, I used simple low rez letters, so it was quite easy.

What did you learn?
I was willing to reproduce this chimpanzee memory test since a while. I just took the opportunity of this jam to see how much time I would need to make it, I took less than 3 hours!

Unfortunately, this game crashes on startup for me

./chimp_test.linux 

Fatal error: exception Chimp_test.Game_Over

Oops, maybe your SDL2 version has a different behaviour than mine :/

Did you tried the static binary? ./chimp_test.static

This one should include the SDL2 that I'm using.

In the normal behaviour this exception is raised when you fail the memory test.

Did this exception raised before any mouse click in the window?

You are supposed to click the numbers in order, from 1 to 9 (even after they are hidden)

Oh, I see! Well, if the Fatal Error is part of the game's design, it would seem all works as expected.

Yes, it was short in time to make a better "game over" screen, so I just raised an exception.

In the next version, I would like to make the game log every attempts, logging which number was reached, and in how much time. So that we can see the progress, and you can compare your ability to succeed the test with friends.

In the comments of the page, I explain which mnemonic technique I'm using to succeed the test, and in how much time I've been able to reach 9:
