The music is amazing. I have stepped into a world between worlds, a realm where life and death are one and the same. Look forward to it's further development!
This is a nice little tutorial! Vanilla Javascript. No excess layers of abstraction (as can happen in the OO world) and a blog explaining the code. Repl.it to play around with the source. All within a small but fully functional game.
Well-built game! The art, music, and puzzles are nicely designed. The process of elimination is a bit counter-intuitive. But other than that its a charming puzzle game with a catchy tune.
This maze takes me back to engineering 101 where we learned how to draw top, front, and right views of parts on special graph-paper.
Video games are in a sense the perfect communication medium. They can have text, graphics, interactive demos, and much much more. I hope to one day develop a proper 4D engine (with lighting, shading, occlusion, textures etc) in order to visualize polytopes and other objects.
That motivation bar is quite realistic lol. I am seeing more and more neglected talent: people who have all sorts of neat ideas who are being ignored by both academia and industry. I am hopeful that some of their innovations, not constrained by the cooperate world, will move society forward.
"Run, collect, run, upgrade, run, shoot, run, run, run". The 8-bit cemetery starts out easy enough, but the ghost and ghouls get faster and faster. Gamedev definitely stress-tests "clean code" practices. I am inspired by *Factorio* (the blogs were recently resumed) as a large-scale, performant, highly stable game.
This makes me want to add a sci-fi theme to my Bash shell. It's among the most powerful tools in the existence of computing. It deserves better graphics.
Use now or invest for later, that is the question. The music is serene. Not a bad way to spend a few minutes before the tornado buries your wheels or wipes out your energy crops.
A reflection of some common childhood fears. Video-games are where code meets art. I live in code but visit art from time to time; I somehow fit art culture better than the “tech-bro” culture. It’s nice to try a game powered by words and stories instead of math and GPUs.
“Never look twice” neat idea with a steady difficulty curve. Great for Sokaban fans seeking a fresh challenge with a unique way of “route-finding”. I will also check out enginesdatabase.com; I see much potential for game engines both within and outside of gamedev.
"Elegant games, from a more pixelated age." This tempts me to make a Rasberry-pi "e-ink" console so I can play classics instead of ad-filled phone games.
I used to play a clone called "playing with fire" with a friend. We would always try to get two pairs of "running shoes" for super speed. It's nice to have an open-source template in case anyone wants to make their own version.
