itch.io

If the Chromebook uses x86 CPU architecture it might work, but I've no idea if the specs are good enough. The chmod command just sets file permissions, and the +x option means make it executable (so you can run it as a program). There shouldn't be any output from the command. But you should now be able to launch the program - i.e. double click the icon or type:

./Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64

Ah, cool!

Thank you so much :)

I don't know whether I've missed something or if the feature is not available in the public build, but having made a 'digit display' component which takes a 4-bit input and shows the digits 0-9 on a 7-segment component, when I try to use my new component I can't enable a preview of the 7 segment digit on my new component like in the videos.

Have I overlooked something?

You may need to mark the mark the program as executable. Depending on your Linux distro, you may be able to do this by right-clicking on the file `Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64`, selecting Properties, clicking the Permissions tab, and ticking "Allow executing file as program".

Alternatively you can open a terminal in the Digital-Logic-Sim folder, and run the command:

sudo chmod +x Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64

You should then be able to launch it by double-clicking the Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64 file.

Holding Crtl will snap at half-grid resolution.

Yep. The new build is working fine. Thanks!

I encountered a strange bug playing the Linux build where the main play area is vertically flipped. If I drag a component from the bottom menu it appears at the top of the play area and upside-down. As I move my mouse pointer further up the component moves correspondingly further down from the top of the screen. The menus all appear in the correct locations and rendered the right way up, and left-to-right rendering is fine. It's just vertically flipped everything in the main play area.

But if I force use of the vulkan renderer by launching the program with `./Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64 -force-vulkan` then everything is fine. So I made a launch-with-vulkan.sh script with the two lines below, made it executable, and now I just launch the program with that.

#!/bin/bash
./Digital-Logic-Sim.x86_64 -force-vulkan

Hopefully that helps others :)

I'm in the same boat. It says "You own this game" but when I follow the download link it just says "Nothing is available for download yet."  I appreciate that it's only chapter 1 and not the full game, but can you please let me know how/when I can access the download?
Thank you :)

I bought this game as part of a charity bundle a few years ago and it states "You own this game" and shows a Download button. But now that I've got some time to try it the download page just says "Nothing is available for download yet."

How/when can I download this game, please?

Very enjoyable! The characters, the story, the puzzles, the 11/10 doggo - what's not to like? I had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks for sharing :)

I like the graphics and atmosphere. I switched between the different camera views and explored the environment a bit, but I couldn't figure out how to mine. Pressing space after switching to view 1 didn't seem to achieve anything. Or maybe I missed something.

This was fun, even when I lost a lot of progress it felt fair and I was compelled to keep trying. The art style was great and the audio was nice too. Good job :)

I've not seen a sokoban + snake combination before, so that was good, and the puzzles were engaging and fun. When one of the snake levels got difficult I wanted the option to go back and retry the sokoban part as I think if I did that in fewer steps the snake phase would be easier(?). But anyway - good job, this is a great entry.

I had fun with this. I tried several play-throughs but I didn't defeat the final wave. It would be good to see my income per turn somewhere on the UI and maybe a number in the corner of each building button that shows me how many I currently have. But overall, I enjoyed playing it - good job! :)

This is a great idea and I like how the 'canvas' evolved throughout the game! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You completed it :) There's not (yet) anything more to do, other than perhaps explore other bits of the environment before the fade-to-black.

Tons of polish, intuitive mechanics, and good puzzle design. Great work all around!

Great job. Really nicely polished game!
I'm sure the ammo box always gave me 1 bullet and never 2, but maybe I was unlucky ;)

Hey! I too made a golf game! Yours is more polished though :)
Yours is a lot of fun! I think if I could make one change it'd be to make the ball a bit lighter so it would travel further in a single hit.

Nice work. It took me a little while to figure it out. The parallax stars were a nice touch. Also I completely misread the title at first glance and thought it was going to be a game about the National Trust XD

Tons of fun! Best game of the jam so far for me (my top score was only 29.something ... I guess that's not so great!)

Great looking game! :)

Fun game, and great presentation. The voice acting is a nice touch :)

This was a lot of fun :)
A bit easy, and I did get a crash when trying to upgrade and already upgraded tower, but what it lacks in balance and bugs it made up for in lovely presentation. Nice work.

This was fun to play :)
I didn't fully understand how the attack types work - I assume you must use them all before any of them will unlock. It was pretty hard to beat all the objects/enemies, I did get all of them eventually but my health went negative!

The HTML5 build isn't working for me. It shows the loading bar but then just a black screen, it's the same in both full-screen and windowed. Tested in Firefox.

Nice. It was fun to explore.

I found sometimes the character would move to the next screen but the camera wouldn't follow so I was stuck looking at an empty room! This twice happened after I'd gone into a new room and seen spikes right in front of me so I quickly backed-off but then accidentally went back into the first room, so I went straight back into the spikes room the camera wouldn't follow. Maybe it's something to do with two room transitions in quick succession.

Having the projectile speed a lot higher from the outset would be good.

Huh, that mouse capture issue is weird. It was a last-minute addition because I'd been capturing the mouse on start-up while testing on desktop, but then I learned mouse capture has to be handled differently for HTML5 (see 'Full screen and mouse capture' here). Essentially, you cannot just capture the mouse whenever you like, but instead it has to happen in response to an input event, e.g. a click. So I now have the following code:

public override void _UnhandledInput(InputEvent @event)
{
  var click = @event as InputEventMouseButton;
  if (click != null)
  {
    Input.SetMouseMode(Input.MouseMode.Captured);
  }
  
  var e = @event as InputEventMouseMotion;
  if (e == null)
    return;
  
  RotateY(-e.Relative.x * turnSpeed);
  
  float deltaPitch = -e.Relative.y * turnSpeed;
  if (_pitch + deltaPitch > 1.5f || _pitch + deltaPitch < -1.5f)
    return;
  
  _pitch += deltaPitch;
  _camera.RotateX(deltaPitch);
}

My last-minute change was adding the first 5 lines inside this function i.e. relating to `var click` and `SetMouseMode`. It works fine on desktop and I cannot see a reason why this change should cause issues with slowly drifting rotation.

After your post I tested it for myself but in my case the view slowly rotates downwards (instead of to the right as you found) - but only when the mouse is captured and only intermittently.

If anyone has an explanation for why there's an inconsistent rotational drift but only in HTML5 and only after capturing the mouse, then I'd love to hear it!

Thanks for the review by the way! :)

This was a lot of fun. Thanks!

Please consider adding a Linux build. it was a faff to get the Windows version running under Linux.

In the same way that you have rough placeholder art in the menus, it would be great to have some rough placeholder sound effects, e.g. from BFXR. I think this would add a lot to the game.

I 'cheesed' a couple of the levels and then felt confident it wasn't the intended solution so I went back and re-did them. The final level in particular had me stuck for quite a while.

I'd love to add spoiler-text here, but itch.io doesn't support it yet so instead I've encoded it in rot13, it can be easily decoded via copy-and-paste over at rot13.com ...

Could you create a Linux build of the companion app, please?
