Hey y'all, if anyone is trying to get the Museum Hack to work with Bitsy v8.4, I wrote a post with updated instructions over on the Bitsy Forum: https://itch.io/t/2762533/does-the-bitsy-museum-hack-still-work

Hi Marlowe - sorry for the late reply! - I just took a look at the Bitsy Museum Hack, and I was able to get it to work in the current version of Bitsy with a few tweaks to the Museum's instructions. Hope this helps!

Using the Bitsy Museum Hack with Bitsy v8.4

Follow the steps on the Bitsy Museum Hack page, but when you get to Step 3, when you need to hack the game code, do these replacements instead.

In each of the showcased games, locate the following in the code:

    // clean up state if the game is ending
    if (isGameOver) {
        bitsy.log("game over");
        reset_cur_game();
    }

And replace that block of code with this:

    /*     BITSY MUSEUM HACK:             
           instead of reseting on ending it takes player back to the museum
           also removes need to click button to reset */
    if (isGameOver) {
        window.open("index.html", "_self");
    }

Then in the Museum (index.html), locate this code:

    if (end) {
        startEndingDialog(end);
    }

    if (end) {
        window.open(dialog[end.id].src + ".html", "_self");
    }

And that's it - if you give this a try, let me know how it goes! :)

thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Douglas Adams - good choice!

I do like the "low effort" idea a lot!

sounds like an interesting book!
