Making games w/ my Kotlin Multiplatform engine 🧸 Tiny.
🎮 Play my games: https://dwursteisen.itch.io/
✨ Try the engine: https://minigdx.github.io/tiny/
The first version used a lower resolution and smaller widgets. (can you find the knobs 🔬?)

Reworking the Sound Editor of 🧸Tiny

You can see here the instrument editor. Still few things to tweak then I'll work on the SFX Editor because my games alway lake of some sound.

Do you like it, or you might prefer the first version (see below!) ? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🛠️ Remember my previous doddle? A few tweaks later, you can get something completely different. 😍

🌀 Just made this colorful orbiting bloom doodle in a few minutes using my game engine 🧸Tiny!
It uses only shapes for a smooth visual effect.

Code in the thread ⬇️

Got a doodle idea you’d love to see? Drop it in the replies!

🚁⚡ POWER PUMP is live! ⚡🚁

My entry for #KenneyJam2025 - a logistics game where you pump energy, deploy transport units, and pilot a helicopter to deliver power across enemy territory!

🖱️ It's a "left click only" game! Try it now ⤵️

🧸Tiny just took a big step: I made a PoC to package a Tiny game as a **standalone app**! 🖥️✨
It’s starting to work on macOS using jpackage.
Still needs work (icons, full testing), but the goal: 1-click games on all OS! 🪟🐧🍎

🧸Tiny debugger just got smarter!
🧠 You can now add a conditional breakpoints (in Lua!)
💥 Break only when your custom condition is true!
🚧 Still a work in progress, but a big step toward smoother game dev with Tiny

🧸Tiny update!
🔍 Improved dictionary view in the debugger - cleaner, clearer, faster to read
✨ Perfect time to debug your first Tiny game and see what’s under the hood!

Nine Inch Nails prices in Paris.
Going to some concerts is more and more pricey.

Trying again #compose.
This component is kind of a mixer will multiple faders.
I'll use it to rework my sound editor for #tiny 🧸

Funny, I saw the exact same example at a conference few months ago. Not everyone fall in the trap to overuse the “let”

Playing a bit with it.
I asked ChatGPT to generate some widget for me.
I will not use the code as it but it's a good way to discover Jetpack Compose and how it can be used in my context.

I published a new game, build with my own game engine 🧸#tiny

try the game: dwursteisen.itch.io/connect-me

Try it here: dwursteisen.itch.io/memory-pong-...

It's a breakout game with a game genies included!

Added a table to give more information about the arguments of methods from #tiny 🧸

See minigdx.github.io/tiny/index.h...

I created few levels. I didn't spend so much time on the game. Instead I added features to debug the game more easily 😂

I need to add instructions, add some effects, fix levels etc. before the 1th. I don't think I'll change a lot of things but you can try it: dwursteisen.itch.io/gameoff2023-...

Thanks to #gameoff2023 I spend some time working on the Map API of Tiny with LDTK as level editor.
Just save to reload the level in your game!

Add a gradient method into #tiny

Try this new API directly from the documentation: minigdx.github.io/tiny/index.h...
