I thought this would be a fun little project to learn PICO-8.</p> <p>Thank you @farawaythyer for your excellent post on How To Make Great Small Games, it is an encouraging read for anyone who wants to create something. <a href="https://farawaytimes.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-to-make-good-small-games.html">https://farawaytimes.blogspot.com/2023/02/how-to-make-good-small-games.html</a></p> <p>Also thank you to the fine folks at Sierra who worked on that section of the Robin Hood game and Ralph Gasser for your &quot;Solving Nine Men's Morris&quot; whitepaper. Certainly my version is very basic, but his technical paper is a recommended read for those interested in game analysis/theory/solving.</p> <p>Finally, thank you to my wonderful wife who put up with my many hours toiling away at this little project.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p>-Thomas</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52160 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52160 Fri, 24 Mar 2023 23:52:28 UTC
