itch.io

yeah I can’t really fix that, that’s just Windows being windows and window_manager being special

Best I can do is make it not crash the whole game and instead just make it not fullscreen

oh fuck this

build is out

Some issues with the build, had to be removed

the new build is coming soon TM

so its been 6 months and the game’s code and development is a mess. Tools aren’t working, shit is breaking and I hate life.

This won’t be a very impactful update

grounded, for being on the computer all day instead of doing homework

correction: it took longer, mostly because I’ve been improving a lot of QoL stuff (visuals) and working on better puzzles

hi

no

which means I’ll probably release it within a week

idk

I mean I haven’t worked on it for 155 days.

Now I started to do so again and it’s… not gonna be a big one

It’s not?

they were meant to bend paths like how Diverters do in CelLua.

Scrapped for being too difficult

Reference cells, they are references to other Cell Machine-related things.

just tested it. no freeze happened.

Nowhere, it doesn’t exist.

no

no

Wdym “to server”?

The Discord server is fine, and TPC’s server code is still available for download as always

you’re not meant to mess around with the main levels list

well if you mess with the game’s files you might delete some files the game needs to run.

data also contains all of the textures of the cells, so if you just delete the one of the new version and paste the one from the old version, some cells might be missing textures

no

as I’ve said probably a trillion times, mobile support won’t be added as TPC is designed to work specifically on the desktop, and utilizes desktop-only stuff a lot, and making an Android port or allowing the game to run on Android using glue and duct tape would take a really long while. (Trust me, I’ve tried, and given up due to it being too difficult, about 4 times)

The source code is available on its GitHub (though, please note, this contains the code for the latest beta, not the latest stable release): https://github.com/IonutParau/thepuzzlecell

The game uses the Flutter framework (and thus, the Dart programming language) for the actual app and the Flame engine to assist a little bit with the game-making.

A port to Mobile WILL require the following changes (just so you know ahead of time what you’ll have to do):

1. Added rendering of some form of Mobile controls
2. Added input handling to use Mobile controls
3. Extra if statements so you cant place cells behind the mobile controls when using them
4. Rework of how puzzle inputs is handled to use mobile controls
5. A complete rework of everything that used the file-system API to read assets without the built-in asset loader
6. Some conditional compilation wizardy (some packages only work on Desktop and handle stuff like fullscreen, thus your gonna need to not only remove that setting on mobile, but also probably make it either not have that dependency, or, if you want to keep desktop support on top of mobile support, use import ifs to have condition compilation and make the pakcage only be imported and used if you are compiling for desktop)

Blueprints have to be manually transferred in the latest version, while in the up-coming update, a buttom was added to automatically do that

are you unaware that Apple is trying their absolute best to make side-loading on iphones basically impossible

no

The Puzzle Cell is fundamentally desktop-only. Core gameplay aspects are tied to the keyboard and mouse.

There won’t be any official Android or iOS version.

No, the game is fundamentally only for the desktop, and thus an Android version does not and will not exist.

next update should have it fixed

it’s the texture people see as your cursor in multiplayer

In pinned messages

Windows. 7. Is. Not. Supported.

Half of them are people trying the game on an unsupported OS

Guys, there’s a reason it’s unsupported!

Windows 7 and Windows 8 aren’t supported. The game is fir Windows 10 or above.

There are 3 background themes

Weird, that issue hasn’t been reported before

They’re in a beta

Why, it’s The Puzzle Cell, the original one, why would I add a +?

They’re in a beta for an up-coming update
