I've sent the images I generated and a follow up email with the batch file that I used with Image Magick.

(Image Magick has to be installed and added to your local paths for it to work)

Hey, I've generated a set of preview images for each font with Imagemagick, would it be useful if I provided it to you're team so you could update the download? (Include a preview images folder)

This is great work, glad to see you've also done the hidden details as well.

Preview link for this one is broken, fyi

It's why I like making something weird each time, it's great when people experiment!

I'll just assume she took the bus home. :) 

Got everything, but could not find the ending.

Still, it was a nice relaxing game to play.

Thank you!

The only thing this needs is to hold on to your finished shape for a little while longer, give it some juice that you finished it.

The deck is fully open, the main things are all in the card level scripts. The other pages have tool scripts for animation.

Feel free to play with it and change things around.

Thank you!

Found this late, this is very cute. Amazing work!

I know this is a bit old, but you should consider creating a zip file w/ license.

Also, can you confirm the license for these tiles?

Thank you!

6 years ago homebrew was a fun idea. I've removed the tag though, it's 6 years later.

thank you for playing! 

me too!

All of the Minigames follow the same basic template:

1.    We keep track if this is a fresh view of the card
2. If it is, we reset the minigame actors
3. We loop the card script until the timer runs out
4. During this we track if they won the minigame so we can take away a life if they did not.
5. If the player wins, we make the timer go down faster

All of the minigame ideas come from the contraption collections and the collision check from the decker documentation.

Remembering Things

If you don't want to pass state around, having a deck page that's just for tracking flags (with a reset button) is a good way of keeping track of things.

1. Create a slider widget on another card to act at memory for the timer.
   ptimer
2. If you want, make accessing it easier with a deck level script:
   MEMORY:save.widgets
3. In your card script, make the timer go up on every view of the card.
   MEMORY["ptimer"].value:MEMORY["ptimer"].value+1
4. Paint your letters with alternating colors from the color view in decker 
5. 
6. Choose values for when you want the colors to switch, and switch the colors in lil code. In the last change, reset the timer.
   if MEMORY["ptimer"].value > 20
   patterns[33]:"%h" parse "ff4f69"
   patterns[34]:"%h" parse "ff8142"
   end
   if MEMORY["ptimer"].value > 40
   patterns[34]:"%h" parse "ff4f69"
   patterns[33]:"%h" parse "ff8142"
   MEMORY["ptimer"].value:0 # Reset the timer so the colors change on loop.
   end
   
7. Make sure you include go[card] at the end of your card script so the card script runs on a loop.
8. You're done!

For the songs we store the current song playing in case we need to use that later.

For organizing songs, I stored anything that was a music loop with the prefix "music_".

Then in the rest of the deck it was easy to do play_music["music_adventure"] or sfx["pop"].

----------

on sfx sname do
  if !home.widgets.nosound.value
    play[sname]
  end
end
on stop_music do
 play[0 "loop"]
 MEMORY["current_song"].text:"none"
end
on music_stop do
 stop_music[]
end
on play_music mname do
 if !home.widgets.nomusic.value
   play[mname "loop"]
   MEMORY["current_song"].text:mname
 else
   stop_music
 end
end 

Hey everyone,

I made DeckerWare - Eggbug party games and I wanted to talk about how I made some of the effects:

Sound/Music

I wrote a small batch script that let me drop things on the .bat and turn them into wav files that were placed in C:/temp/

set OUTM=%~n1 set OUTALL=c:/temp/%OUTM%.wav ffmpeg.exe -i "%~1" "%OUTALL%"

I used this to find short loops for game music and the sound effects that I've found online/are from the GDC packs.

In the Decker Project I wrote some Deck Level functions for playing music and sounds. They check if on the home card if music/sounds are disabled before playing.

MEMORY:save.widgets # the MEMORY function is just shorthand for a card that I store widgets on. 
# I called the card 'save'.

card script to swap the color palettes. If you look at the card script for the title you can see it in action

thank you! 

honestly someone beating the system is the best ending I could ask for, haha. I'm going to leave it.

Quietly working to stack tetris 

OOF'd

8pt, may be a little small unless it allows you do do 16/24/etc without blurring.

Great style and design. Character creators can take up a full week, so it's neat to see it become the gameplay.

After I lost with a terrible three points I just had fun watching the cursor bounce a little. Fun cliker.

Really had fun with this, great palette too!

Thank you for playing! If you want to keep playing you can always set the infinite timer in settings.

thank you for playing! 

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Hearing a person played always makes me happy!

there's a secret shortcut to hexpaint, alt and 5 once you're in game. 

thank you for playing! The high scores are what I got in testing, so it's possible to get at least 17 

Share a link when you finish!

Earth Illusion is on my list to redo, I can't promise it will be soon, but I'll add these once I do redo the font.

honestly someone beating the system is the best ending I could ask for. Thank you for reporting it, but I think I'll leave it.
