Fun games with gameplay I’ve never seen anywhere else. There are a few issues, like when you can’t move while you’re in the air. That’s a problem for the zero-gravity level.

I love idea of your game. keep going ^^ .

I had to many problems with game maker,
try love2d : it support keyboard, mouse and gamepad.

It’s good tool but library is complex to use.
The rres-raylib.h depend of ress.h .
And ress.h is make for raylib.h .

So why can you create a limited version of ress.h with focus to loading asset from .ress .

Download elyoko-a0.2-zbstudio.zip and unzip in path :

gameplay:

• (-) C’est vraiment dommage que tout ton jeux soit baser sur l’aléatoire. Laisser le choix au joueur quel type de diamant il souhaite collecter, le rendrai plus stratégique.
• (-) le singe n’interagit pas avec le joueur (poursuite/attaque)
• (+) map aléatoire
• (+) mécanique diamant qui boost les stats
• (+) mécanique choix de se battre/vol de diamant
• (+) log de combat

graphisme:

• (+) pixelart unique,sympatique
• (-) Les diamants gagnerai à être plus visible sur la map

note:

Si diamant=point vie et que l’objectif est d’en avoir 15,
cela signifie que le joueur doit collecter tout sans se faire toucher/voler.
Le joueur ne risque pas de se retrouver bloquer ?

salut, le tutoriel/jeux ne sont pas fini

(need fix) save state .sav not working with .egba

hi, appimage is released
it only works with the GUI,
it doesn’t work with the Zerobrane IDE,
it can be used as an egba binary when you share your game.

It just need to write objective and controls in game. Idea of making pacman with mario personage is realy good. An interesting WIP game.

Nice game, what do you use for generate level ?

Bugs : On sdl version, you can finish level without jump.

Witch linux do you use ? I don’t have same version of lib/cmake.

Turn based game is hard to make, with lot of GUI. Nice work, but i can’t test it.

you need egba or egba.exe in project path for use interpreter

Download egba_a1.8-1_zbstudio_plugin.zip

and unzip in path :

• Win = your_zbpath
• Linux = /opt/zbstudio
• Macos = ?

how do you install interpreter and api

I had given up on this 2023 jam, I changed engines, so I’m not reusing any code.

I can prove that the two games are different. the old source file :

the new and original :

Anyone can complain and destroy like a child. But you wouldn’t know how to reproduce this “crap game”.

Spargenox : “… This alone should have your hands smashed with a hammer so you can’t program again.”

Are you serious ? Why don’t you use your real account ?

Setup new project

• Download palette image .png <= 32 color lospec.com
• on browser touch « + » , it create new.lua and new.png
• click on « new » project, click on « spr » button
• drag and drop palette image to window
• save, quit and rename new .lua/.png with your projet name

Debug (GUI)

• load projet with browser
• press space for start/stop debug

Create EGBA from script/sprite

• After load projet , « -> » button or  ctrl + e
• ctrl + l for locked egba (can’t import lua/spr from egba)

Import sprite/script from EGBA

After load projet , « <- » button or ctrl + i

Run EGBA (GUI)

After load projet, press enter for start/stop running EGBA

Build standalone game from EGBA

After load projet, ctrl + b

If you have egba and egba.exe, it create binairy for linux (no ext) and window (.exe)

Debug (CLI)

open cmd, tape it

egba.exe project.lua 

it use .png for load color and sprite

Run (CLI)

open cmd, tape it

egba.exe project.egba

Load spritesheet

• drag and drop 256x256 img, it to browser→project→spr
• drag and drop 256x257 img, it to browser→project→spr

a0.1

setup cartbridge .egba

• Download palette image .png <= 32 color lospec.com

• launch egba.exe

• drag and drop image to window

• btn save create save.egba next to egba.exe, rename it with your project name

load .egba

• launch egba.exe
• drag and drop it to editor

lua script

• create .lua next your .egba with same name.
• edit it with it

-- hello world example
function EGBA()
  print("hello world",50,50,1,20)
end

full api

launch external script

• open cmd, tape it

egba.exe project.lua

it use .egba for load color and sprite

load script to cartbridge

• launch egba.exe -> script section
• drag and drop it to editor

export spritesheet

• goto sprite section
• ctrl + E

load spritesheet

• drag and drop it to editor

launch cartbridge with intern script

• open cmd, tape it

egba.exe project.egba

build standalone game.exe

• launch egba.exe
• load cartbridge ,goto script section
• right ctrl+B -> project.exe

build game.exe work only for window , not with wine

I haven’t had the cmake 3.27 update on ubuntu yet. I’ll test it later.
The story and the image are interesting.
Do you have any more screenshots or a video of your game?

Compilation problem

You can compile an SDL2 game on the web with emscripten.
You can also cross-compile with clang on macos.

I don’t have numpad on my keyboard. And i can’t select second player.

it’s ingenious to play with the screen size, but a part of the game is off-screen and some error messages are unreadable at start.

There are nothing for play. When you click many time, it close.

I am on linux to and i run it with wine.

Demake of clash of heroes might and magic 64x64.
https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam-2023/rate/2215676

You can use wine for run .exe on linux/mac.
