I made a productivity based IOS app; It's intended to create a sense of urgency and competition while gamifying the studying process. It allows for users to compete globally on study times, track their own, and eventually use the points in an in-game shop system; I made it in React-Native and included a bunch of features so check it out if you're interested, link below; I'm planning to ship a bunch more updates github.com/Mr-W-Squidward/studyquest

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/3140963f-117a-4abf-8969-ad5ee3a36a8d-5c59da3f-691a-491a-abe3-f5b19b548c92.png

began making the main menu for my #C088UF12N1Z| game

Today/Yesterday I finally shipped my game! I made some more levels, fixed some bugs, made a linux build, and made the itch.io (snej55.itch.io/defblade) page, and now it's finished!🎉

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/85c12c7c-2e36-4da2-8388-270ca70b1bcd-gif_25-01-2025_18-43-03.gif

Guys, i need someone to test my simple app for game managment, later will be used as backend for something way bigger, it is published on my github, here

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/11fcf3f5-44bf-4f2f-bbbe-8e3954852404-cab56a5a-b20a-4733-8229-5444e53b459c.png

Today I added the last few significant "things" to the game (the stuff worth mentioning). I added a win screen, an option to mute the volume on the main menu, some warning messages on the main menu, and an icon for the window and the executable file (though that isn't visible on the recording). I also made a quick soundtrack for the menu and main levels (I just need one more). Next is finishing off the media for the game (trailer, itch page, etc) and then I can release/ship it!🎉 github.com/snej55/paper-world (the game is called Defblade, not paperworld btw).

Drew a couple of things for my game, including a whole lot of food (kfc anyone) Programmed outside, debugged small issues today Programmed the start of Flowers room where most of the actual games are free art photos below and free result photos

Current project, game launcher/manager for windows with a ps5 look(maybe even xbox?)

Today I continued adding some stuff to my game. It now has lava, the start to a main menu, and some level transitions (with portals). I also added some shockwave vfx for the explosions. github.com/snej55/paper-world

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/6f4720f3-de02-4ba8-bdf1-e49f4aa7041b-71af7e95-acd1-4b5c-b5d4-99063dc366fb.png

Exam week is finally over! Today I added some coins to my game, with some more vfx, some more sounds, font rendering (with SDL_ttf), some ui improvements, leaves (particles that fall from the trees and stuff, kinda hard to see with all of the coins), and did some debugging (another seg fault waah). Next I am planning to add some lava, music and a main menu (finally). github.com/snej55/paper-world

made a fun little platformer game today

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/e009dc33-33e2-4dcd-9b96-9d1738dc7a91-ratventure__o.png

Today I added some water to my SDL2/C++ game. It's basically just a line of springs joined up but it looks like water if you tweak it a bit. I also added some decorations (trees! yay!) and some more sound effects. I also wasted an hour or two fixing a segmentation fault 😭 (pain). Next is leaves!

I'm working on #C087QT3QUV7|! It's going to be a Slack ARG where you solve puzzles throughout Slack to join channels and progress through the game. Sounds simple right? The catch is that it's entirely written in Slack workflows with only 1st party functions, no integrations. I've been hammering out the functionality today and have built a system that lets you put in your answer to a puzzle and if it's correct then you'll get added to the next channel! This system has error handling too - if you get it wrong then you'll get a message telling you that it's wrong. There's also random text for when you submit, get it right or get it wrong. It's basically functionally finished now, I just need to create the puzzles :D (I have a few Slack windows open - this is currently made up of 4 Slack Lists and 7 workflows)

Today I added some sound effects to my C++/SDL2 game to make the combat a bit more juicy. I also added some sparks vfx, worked on the turtles, and fixed an annoying bug with the health bars. Next is water and leaves! (hopefully) github.com/snej55/paper-world

I've almost never talked about it to anyone: Before Anson Chung become Anson Chung, he was known by many different names by many different people. Most notably, he was known as a UX/Interaction Designer at GolfRush, an unreleased Roblox game. He spends 3 years mastering the art of UI animations from the ground up. He spend most of his days crafting UIs, and from time to time, he thinks to himself: is it worth the time? Ultimately GolfRush stopped it's development, and his three years of work will never be seen by the people. But that is the reason hes here today.

Today I added some turtles to my SDL2 game. They are peaceful, so you can bounce on them and kill them, but they won't do anything back.

Today I ported my SDL2 game from using Makefiles to using CMake and Ninja. Now I don't need to recompile the whole project every time I want to make a small tweak, only the files I changed (plus it looks fancy).

Finished the typing game with instant feedback

github.com/rdbo/AssaultCube-SDK-DLL-Template/pull/1 updated this open src game hacking library i used to use a lot also updated my arduino proj from yesterday slightly

Yesterday I helped run the computer science table at our school district's middle school academy fair! talking hundreds of middle schoolers was very taxing, but it actually went great, we had a crowd around our table the entire time! I obviously advertised Hack Club a ton even though I was low on posters & flyers-- people loved the Sprig, the LED matrix (upcoming ysws 👀), the stickers, and most of all, the game! I projected my #C07MUFXNG82| pinball game onto the ceiling to draw people over & gave candy to people who could score 1000! I wanted to buy a gong with school budget that we could hit every time someone beat the high score, but even though it (shockingly) got approved it didn't arrive in time. Definitely gonna recreate this setup in the future!

Gonna try to start using scrapbook again! Today I spent a few hours making a cool startup animation for my Retrospect (MS-DOS) game! (DOS color palettes are hard!)

Today I added some combat to my game. The player has a sword and can now finally fight back against enemies! I just need some health bars now.

Today I started working on some DaFluffyPotato-like grass for my game. It's kinda working?

didnt do any coding today but i spent a ton of time making cool rooms for my game :)

Shipping my game

Today (yesterday) I added some more animations to my c++ & sdl2 game (so the player is not a plain blue box anymore). I also added some springs and fixed some scaling issues with fullscreen and resizing the window.

making some progress in my clicker game, added some more upgrades, not done for today probably gonna work for another hour or two

I made the menu for my first game today

started a new project, the Impractical clicker, an Impractical jokers clicker game, just some stupid idea me and my friend though of on call at like 12am so Im making it a thing

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/49746fab-f44f-46d0-b2a3-74b64777bb86-image.png

I completely forgot about Scrapbook all throughout making this. OOPS! I wrote and published my first crate and command-line utility in #C0121LVV79P|, spade-serial and spade-upload ! They can upload games to a #C02UN35M7LG| or whatever device running Spade. I spent a lot of time writing the tests and documentation.. I wanted to get it right since this is my first time, so I know what to do in the future. spade-serial is the crate that does the actual work while spade-upload is the application that makes use of the crate. It's useful to me because I use Safari on my MacBook and Firefox on my other laptop, neither of which implement the Web USB API, so this provides a way for me to put games on my Sprig without installing another browser that I don't want to use. I made spade-serial into a crate because I wanted to keep the logic separate so that people could apply it in multiple places, like maybe a GUI app. The game uploaded in the video is this game. I did not create it. GitHub Repository | spade-serial on crates.io | spade-upload on crates.io

Added some bats to my game. They still do way too much damage though, so they're a bit of a menace to society right now (I still need to fix that).

Added some animations to my game! There are green slimes now instead of plain red cubes.

Coursework :( i dont know how to make a game 😂

Just push a 🍬 Candy Crush Game my new project

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/7372e2ed-ab87-4e36-8283-55d2e957e87e-screenshot__89_.png

Added entities to the level editor for my game. The game is in c++ with sdl2, but the level editor is in python with pygame-ce.

Today I continued working on the entity class in my game. I now have a working entity management system (along with some segmentation faults 😞 ) and better player following (not so hard to improve from what is was before 🙂), and a simple health bar.

released+uploaded my AI Warden game to the wonderdome today! yay!

The player can now be hurt by the enemies in the game (though the "following the player" script is kinda dubious (still need to fix that)).
