The F-bomb just keeps exploding into pixels.
This is something I wasted time on. Why? Because.

Meh...

This is my first attempt at making a tower defense (-ish?) game. This project was influenced by my fondness for Rampart. Suggestions are welcome.

Goal:
Blast your opponent's walls with missiles and then lead your small army to attack their base.

Instructions:
There are two phases between each round: 1) build phase and 2) attack phase.

1)During the build phase you can place walls (if you have any), pick up supplies, and steal rubble from your opponent's base from damage you inflicted during the previous attack phase.

2) In the attack phase you can fire missiles to take out opponent's walls, kill units not standing on a base. Also, in this phase you can direct your army to various locations on the map.

Helpful tips:
1) Pick up your rubble. If you don't then your opponent can. Rubble can be used to build new walls.

2) Don't have enough walls to defend your base? Leave your army at your base to take the damage instead. The only downside to this is that units used in this manner don't respawn during the next round.

3) Missiles can't damage units standing on a friendly base or to the base itself. You can't blow up your own walls (be careful where you place them!).

I made this today after coming up with the idea last night. The goal of this game is to divide a given number by prime numbers. The code is a not great. It's a small game I made in a short span of time...so ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

WIP Zombie Maze

This is an idea I've been experimenting with since I tried my hand at making a robotron-esque game.The idea was to make a more action oriented roguelike...not sure how that's gonna turn out. I figured I'd share this in case someone might find parts of it useful for another project.
Anyways, in this WIP there are zombies that will chase the player if they are within the blue circle (this will be larger if you move). The red circle is the range of your weapon. You don't have to aim. All you have to do is make sure a zombie is in the red circle and press Z. It'll kill the zombie closest to the player. The weapon has a reload time between each shot (no run and gun :D ).

This isn't a full game...yet. Suggestions are welcome.

This creates a random map by drawing boxes and checking that everything is connected. It's not great, but it does work well enough for my current project. Feel free to do whatever with it.

I started this a few weeks ago after a hankering for Robotron:2084 that I couldn't sate. I'm still tinkering with this, but I thought I'd share what I have so far. There are 40 levels and a challenge level on every N10 level. Health is restored after completion of a N10 level.

Hebrew Catch 1.0

Shalom y'all!
This game is designed to help kids (and maybe adults) learn the sounds of Hebrew letters by associating them with familiar English letters.

Your goal is simple:
1.) catch Hebrew letters that match the sound of the English letters surrounding the map
2.) avoid other letters and bombs depending on the level of difficulty

There are three difficulty settings:
1.) Easy-> all letters fall at the same speed
2.) Normal-> all letters fall at a random speed and bombs randomly drop
3.) Hard-> just like normal, but letters fall faster and bombs drop more often

After three letters are caught, a new target is chosen.

Please note that ":|" is used to signify no sound for א and ע.

I plan to add more to this at a later date, but for now I'm happy with it.

--I had to update to fix a typo on the letter selection screen. There was a kaf sofit instead of a mem sofit.

The goal is to get the color blocks on the appropriate colored switch. The color blocks move in the opposite direction of the player. If two colors blocks touch they will mix (e.g. red+yellow=orange) Avoid walking into the color blocks...unless you want to die.

This is a demo of an earlier (messy and bloated) build of simple puzzle game I've been working on in my spare time. Your goal is to get the color blocks on the appropriately colored switch. Colors can be mix together to create other colors. Also, activated switches can be used to mixing as well. This is just a demo, so it's really short (5 levels).

How does the map work?

Sat, 15 Jul 2017 22:03:18 UTC

Hello y'all,

I'm working on making a puzzle game, and I've come across a problem with the collision detection/map reading when I try to change to the next map. I think this stems from the fact that I'm missing a concept somewhere on how maps work. Everything seems to work find until I move to the third map...not sure what I'm missing.

--sprite 1 is player
--sprite 2 is to mark where the player spawned
--sprite 16 is wall
