itch.io

The last few days game does not start and I see this in console (google chrome v144.0.7559.109): 

(pastebin link) https://pastebin.com/Jkfrx17Q

I tried with different clean browsers (to make sure it wasn;t a cache issue) but I still see the same. 

Even the linux desktop version does not start.

It seemed like a very good game.

The game run ok on firefox 142.0.1 (64-bit)

Fixed.

For now only manually you can change the gridsize in the main engine file.

Hi. Thanks !

You discovered a bug :) 

gridSize is changable (for now) from editing the gridSize variable.  The problem is that CSS was set fixed to grid=20 . 

The fix (if you are in a hurry) is to add two lines in the initGrid() function :

        function initGrid() {

            // Set the grid template columns dynamically based on gridSize

            document.getElementById('grid').style.gridTemplateColumns = `repeat(${gridSize}, 20px)`; 

      ....rest of the initGrid(){ function..

Keep in mind that this will run VERY slow when ZX Spectrum is emulated at 100% speed.

DemoBASIC_v006test3UDG.bas has my tests to implement custom UDGs in the BASIC template

htmlTemplateZXBasic_v005_251220b.bas fixed character collision problem ( defined DIM(grid,grid,2) instead DIM(grid,grid,1) and was comparing 2 characters with one. 

Trying to keep the 3d template light , I did some experiments to make the 3d template look better but most of my attempts was not good .

I noticed that different setting looked best on some type of images and some other did not. 

So, I am thinking of 

a) putting different 3d templates or 

b)using a signle template that takes parameters (eg something like index.php?enemy_transparency=70&gold_transparency=100).

About your modification of the template: I see you added many enemies. If you want to create a similar engine you might want to use an array for enemies. It will be simpler to handle. 

For A.G.E. -at this point- , I believe 3 enemies are enough.

Also, you could check the color transparency demo here : https://plirof.itch.io/age-ascii-game-engine/devlog/1145749/demo3d-4005a-transpa... 

For enemies you could edit their images and put them on a specific color backgound and then use the above demo file.

Really nice game & idea . 

I never thought of using photos. 

You can use these programs as you like but keep in mind that they are all entries for the CSS Crap Games Competition. If this warning doesn't stop you , you can check https://plirof.itch.io/the-real-adventures-of-pac-man which is the winner of the 2023 Crap competition (and the sequel of this game). The 1st part is "Real Adventures of Cookie Man".  

Yes, something like that. :)

The condition would be that eg item1 opens door1 or item1 defeats enemy1. It would be that simple. This functionality will be enabled by boolean variables in the template file.

Just notised that when in itch.io the bottom of the editor (image URL input areas are not visible).There are no scroll bars visible. So far I found that pressing F11 two times seems to fix the issue. This appears only when run from itch.io page. 

(edit) Problem fixed . i had forgot to enable "show scrollbars"). (/edit)

Thanks for your post.I'm glad this wakes up the creativity of people ;) I created this for teaching so this means I'm on the right track.

My goal is to keep this simple. More simple than eg bitsy.

Quick answer : I don't plan to have multiple rooms (but maybe extend the current grid with 2-3 hidden rooms). HP system : I want the fight system to be easy and simple and without the player dying or loosing and still thinking about how to do this.

I will create a devlog with thoughts about multi screen and HP/fight system .

Thanks for your post. :)

The HP system is not implemented yet because I am still thinking on how it will work. I made a devlog with more information about this and to hear other opinions.

When I say light I mean software like  https://the-l0bster.itch.io/pocket-platformer , https://ledoux.itch.io/bitsy  and https://jukel.itch.io/vritsy. 

I don't want to make a proffesional looking game. I want something simple and usable by young kids. Also, the machines that I want to run it are usually core2duo PCs (that's why I want light software).

Hello,

I have tried Pocket Platformer, Bitsy (and clones), VRItsy and some other game creation software that can run on a browser. They are all good but I'm looking for more alternatives.

Can you recommend  any other web-based game design software? 

-It must run on browser

-It should be written in HTML/JS/PHP so it can be hosted on an apache server (will be used in a LAN computer lab).

-it must not be heavy (eg Godot ,GDevelop are not light programs).

Thanks in advance :)

(I've already searched tags Game design and Game engine and did not find much)

Thanks. 

It's a great selection of games!

Also, It is actually an honor to have this game included in the same video as Saboteur :) -even if this is a CSSCGC entry :)

Very original idea! Fun game! For some reason folder browsing doesn't look logical to me. Eg. when I go back a folder sometimes it seems I am in a different folder.

Nice game. At first I thought it was a coding/programming game like Robocode...

Some game suggestion for these amazing games (as posted in Crap Games Competition Discussion)! 

In game 4 you control a fierce warrior and in game 5 you control a powerful wizard!

More game suggestions (mostly for Type A games):

6281: A rebel showing the finger trying to avoid politicians

6311: Woman figure of Naked Medusa trying to avoid mirrors

6331: An elf holding a bow!

6351: Witch with long hat (like cauldron 1)

6371: Scorpion running in the woods

6401: Hockey player trying to avoid attackers

6651: Fat University Graduate trying to avoid relatives that want to kiss him!

6971: Man holding a bazooka,trying to avoid pacifistrs

6991: Ghost from the movie Ghost (starring Patrick Swayze) just running arround

Hint : You can kill an incect with a command like :

"kill worm with blue can"

First,you must first find in which door the correct colored can is hidden...
