I made a game for the @abertayuni.bsky.social game development society's Freshers Game Jam. The theme was "No Limits" so I decided not to let the theme limit my creativity.

And I'm back again! I just made a game of pong that uses 3 separate windows, so there's no background! Why? Who knows but it was a super fun challenge. Also I learned the hard way that a "Stack Overflow" is a real real thing not just a website

GOD math is hard. Spent almost 6 hours working on a system to make the ship slide along the inside of a circle using trigonometry, calculus, and all that fancy shit. No luck! ended up just moving the ship inwards before allowing it to move to the intended direction

Guess who's back!!!

About to start uni, so I decided to make a quick coding project to see just how rusty I was. I'm super excited to start making games again!

Decided that built-in window dragging features are for COWARDS, so made my own. The lagging issue is completely fixed, so all that's left to do is fix the jittering and we're golden!

why'd they name this app bluesky when Elders Scroll was right there

Set it up so the map tiles the entirety of my screen. Unfortunately I'm running into a problem with Monogame where the graphics seem to update extremely irregularly when moving them around. If anyone has a fix, let me know. Overall VERY happy with Monogame so far.

I love the part in an H.P Lovecraft novel where the narrator drops all pretence of ambiguity and just starts throwing out discombobulated sylables left and right

Trying out Monogamy! Nice to be working on C# again, but after spending so much time on python I keep forgetting to add semicolons. My latest project will have the player searching their desktop for...something. I haven't really thought about the game itself tbh

How realistic would it be to develope a game in Godot on Android? Feels like a fun thing to chip away at during commutes, and if it could cloud sync between my devices, better still!

I think the majority of video games can be improved by adding cats into them.

doing more work on the tunnel. Next, I'll start looking at rendereing a faux 3d ship

Just done with my JANKY window dragging system. It works great, as long as you keep the mouse cursor inside the window.

AAAAAGH I've been encountering a problem where I'm trying to move the window around by using "pygame.MOUSEMOTION" event.rel, but for whatever reason event.rel is returning very innacurate mouse movement. Does anyone know why?

Decided to show the time the player has left using a loading bar. I also added some more challenges, as well as made the score visible on top.

All that's left is to add more challenge types, make the window dragable, and pray that PyInstaller is feeling cooperative.

Question: I'm adding a time limit to my game, and I'm not sure weather or not I should make it a simple clock, or a bar that slowly runs out. What do you people think?

New game: The T's and C's

With graphics designed entirely in Google Slides, this game is about trying real hard not to sell your soul to EA!

So far all I have is a basic game loop, next I'll add more diverse challenges and a timer system.

Working on a game that takes place in an old school dialog box. How does it look? What should I add?

Does anyone know about an easy-to-learn tool for making ui elements? I'm currently using google slides so my standards are low
