Congrats on your first game jam! Don’t worry about the deadlines! I think you can contact one of the organizers to submit a little later too! I’m so glad that you participated and made an initiative to learn game dev, from here on, the sky is the limit! All the best, i cant wait to the see the wonders you will do!

Thank you for playing! Can you add more details about what platform you are on so that we can investigate the bug?
We are working on an definitive update to future proof the game now, the new tiles are in the works 🤩! How would you say the difficulty was handled? Was the Minesweeper game loop engaging?
After a day of feedback across many discord servers and friends, we got back to the chopping board and:
- added some empty cells
- made mines appear around 6-8(around that number, real scale is 6 to 10)
- game difficulty is preserved by ooga booga mine placement
mobile players can play the game without any hiccups totally on the web build, they can use the heart which has the no. of mines to toggle the flag/reveal modes now
Heya, btw I was thinking, as you have a growing collection of fonts, could you set up a single bundle of all of them? It doesn’t have to updates often, but I think it would nice to have a single download for all your fonts, thank you and no pressure, I understand it may not be in your plans and that’s okay!
Ahh, so you are requesting a widget group that can be copied/pasted, I guess, this can be implemented as a widget library thing? (Pretty sure this is a huge project in itself, maybe can be a importable module, so as to not bloat vanilla decker) A work-around I suggest for now is shift-clicking all components of the desired group/elements and then pasting them elsewhere,btw can you provide more context as by canvas do you mean the workspace area of decker or do you mean the canvas widgets in particular?
Filled polygons: You have to go into the style menu and select fill style, by default all filled shapes are filled by white, guess it is confusing as white is bg default colour too, but yeah, filled does work, select your shape in Tool>Go to new tab named Style>Fill>Select your style and apply
Resolution limit: because vibes? I think Decker being low res is one of its very cool selling points, maybe a technical limitation, but I love decker’s fixed resolution!
Hi, i really appreciate this very informative reply, this really expands on a lot of things i had doubts about, you have answeered a lot of them, thank you very much.
Textboxes: i find that fields being editable and interactive both a plus and a minus, is there a way to toggle to make fields static? i meant textbox in the exact way fields work, but not editable, making the text not selectable or changeable.
i also thought stroke and fill styles were interchangeable? I have not grasped it properly yet, sorry.
The customizable colours is so neat? That means i can do it at runtime right? so each card i can use a different palette? THIS IS AWESOMEEE
the multicard display, i have found a workaround, open 2 deckers, keep one card which you need often open in another, keep the rest open in the second decker, this ONLY works if you have auto-save enabled or are used to saving often, also, i realised that decker is fixed in resolution so, multi-view isnt simple or accessible like i originally thought.
read[] for gif loading is so cool, your approach actually goes beyond the niche intention i had, your approach will actually enable single card-but-multiple outcomes/scenarios.
Your reply was so eye-opening, i am so happy to get to understand the working of decker in detail. I am going to try my hand at making the pattern editor. Thank you for the cursor keys tip, i would have never known that to be honest XD.
From my experience of using decker for the past 10-14 days, i have compiled a list of features that would improve upon Decker's strengths. i am listing them out here, but if possible, i will add examples when time allows or as per needs, feel free to use this thread to suggest features, i volunteer to sort features into essential, radical and trivial/not-prioritized features. Coding is not the best of my forte, but im willing to try to implement some features in the future.
SUGGESTED FEATURES LIST:
- BACKGROUND MUSIC/LOOPED PLAYBACK
- TOGGEABLE/EDITABLE CONTRAST FOR IMPORTED IMAGES
- POP-UP WINDOWS WIDGET (NON-ESSENTIAL)
- MORE STROKE/FILL STYLES (This I can provide... maybe as a module?)
- GIF SUPPORT (NON-ESSENTIAL)
- PALETTE SUPPORT (NON-ESSENTIAL)
- A TEXTBOX (REPLACES FIELD AS ONLY WAY TO WRITE OUT THINGS SO FAR? I MAY BE SO WRONG HERE)
- MULTI-CARD DISPLAY (HELPS TO CHECK IF STUFF WORK WITHOUT ^C EVERY 2 MINS)
- COMMON PRE-BUILT SNIPPETS (THIS IS DEFINITELY A JOB FOR THE CROWD, GITHUB REPO TIME)
Decker is open-source, so feel free to add/implement these features on your own too, when you recommend features below, make sure to follow these guidelines:
- Make sure it is a new feature.
- Be as explanatory or specific as possible.
- Check if Decker can actually benefit from said feature.
- Make sure that the feature you request isn't already requested, but if it is, updoot it to bring it to our attention, or bump it with a +1 comment.
- Will this feature be utilized by a lot of people?
- Does this feature address at least one specific pain point?
- Does the documentation have any reference on how to make-do the feature's function?
- Try to add pictures if you have the skills and if it is easier to explain the function of said feature in pictures.
And to Internet Janitor, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING DECKER, I understand that making something like it as a solo dev must be a huge undertaking, same as maintaining it, so I volunteer to help Decker improve and become a easier and accessible way to experience multi-media around the world.
You can message me on discord at ArceusMaxis#7249 or on Mastodon at https://socel.net/amirtha to collaborate or ask small doubts about decker, i am fairly confident i will be able to help you guys.
Oh my god! That's so neat! Thanks for taking the time to explain, I tried the protect feature and thought it was some kind of encryption 😅, this clears up a lot, I will definitely participate in Deck-tember and I really want to thank you making decker, it's been really fun playing around with it 🙏 thank you so much, it's been a kind of a mental support thing for me these days as it's raining most of the time here. Really hyped to see what cooler stuff people will make with decker! 🙏🤟
how do i export a deck as something playable? I want to share this neat lil deck I made and I'm not sure if I can share it as an exe or an bundled app? Is the only way to share decks ask the receiver to have Decker too? I'm sorry if they has this info in the documentation, I couldn't find such details in it. Thanks a lot in advance for your response!
