My crappy puzzle game

Post by Spikey »

Made a simple, ugly, buggy, half-working game this past week. It has no name, usually refer it as my SDL Puzzle Prototype, or my crappy game.
Objective is to connect four matching color pieces in a row/column first. You push new game pieces from the sides, and the furthest piece will be pushed off of the board. I was messing around with SDL_net, but it's not useful in game. You can get a host/client connection but that will trigger the apps to shut down. Let's see... Computer AI is beyond stupid... oh ya... and it also comes in spanish!

"Crappy?" I liked it. Oh, and subscribed.
I'll write a signature once I get some creativity and inspiration...

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't call this crappy. The GUI is impressive considering you're using SDL.

Yeah, now i'd like to see what you consider a good SDL game, because that looks really good ;)

It looks somewhat finished, which is something I feel I never accomplish with my software, I always feel there is something left to do, but I certainly get the impression when I saw your video that the game felt almost complete.

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

I agree with the others, very nice interface for having written it in SDL.

Same as above, loved it and it has good aesthetics.

Wow. Thanks everyone!

I kinda mislead all of you... I stopped smoking cigarettes recently and I needed something to occupy myself with, so while making and posting this game I was feeling like shit, and so I referred everything as shit.. anyway, I'm feeling better now and stoked to start a new project.

Good for you, hope you can pull through and stay away from that garbage. ;)
