Thanks for sharing- this looks fantastic!
If you'd like to override the default behavior of the arrow keys, you can define a deck-level (or card-level) replacement for the "navigate[]" event handler. The default handler looks like:
on navigate x do if x~"right" go["Next"] end if x~"left" go["Prev"] end end
Replacing it with an empty handler will make the arrow keys do nothing while in Interact mode:
on navigate do end
In your case, you've already set up buttons all over your deck with WASD shortcuts, so we could also write a deck-level replacement navigate[] handler which searches for and "clicks" those buttons appropriately in response to cursor keys. On touch devices this should also allow you to navigate by using swipe gestures!
on navigate x do
s:(("left","right","up","down") dict "adws")[x]
w:first extract value where value..shortcut=s from deck.card.widgets
w.event["click"]
end
How's that? There's a bit more detail on navigate[] and other events in the reference manual.
Thank you for starting this thread! It's a great idea.
My Decks published here on itch.io
Desker -- A jam project where you can poke around a Desk. This was an excuse to use lots of random things from the contraption bazaar (here on the forums).
The Riddle of the Temple-- It's pretending it's an adventure game but I was experimenting with using the puppeteer module for animating scenes. It's pretty short and sweet. (There's also a small "How this was made" section at the end if anyone is interested!)
Tea and Bread -- Another jam project, sadly a bit time crunched at the end (and submitted late). The ideas were fun but there's some rough spots in it that I haven't gone back to fix yet. I didn't upload a deck directly this time but I also didn't do anything about navigate[] so you can arrow key over to the "backstage" cards to find the unlock button if you want to investigate the tea-and-bread-making process.
Not published here:
colortest - Another kitchen scene, made a long time ago. My first time using color in Decker and my first time making an animation, even though it's small. There's just a few things to click on, nothing happens after that.
"Beacon Puzzle" - an abandoned, over-ambitious myst-inspired project that is... a mess. Maybe it will live again, who knows. We have so many more tools now than when this was made. I uploaded a small section of it to show someone a while ago. As well as a few images: [1] [2] [3] and a short gif of a "puzzle".
And, as part of that conversation, I also made a video timelapse of (current me) drawing a similar looking card in Decker and putting some small widgets on it.
Path Module Tests - Just messing around with the new path module to see if I could use it to make something that looked like an isometric map, or like a storybook scene. There would be other wrinkles to iron out in either case -- but it's something I'd like to see in Decker someday.
I have a whole bunch.
zine of Millie already has its own thread but I've made like 22 issues haha. I'll go over the ones on my itch page below
JankyTunes:
For a jam last year I made a whole bunch of musical tools/toys
Janky Drum Machine was my first attempt, a pretty simple drum machine
Janky Synthesizer is a keyboard that generates the noises in real time with a bunch of things you can adjust with the waveform
Janky Sequencer takes the same synthesis engine and uses it in a sequencer, so you can program in tunes and such
JankyTunes: The Contraption is a version of Janky Sequencer that can be embedded inside other decks so you can use it for background music
and I Bring You Notes is a collection of tracks I wrote in Janky Sequencer packaged together as like an EP
Fun game things:
you tried to date me and it went poorly is a semiautobiographical visual novel
Deck(er) The Halls is a digital christmas card
Day, us-ex is a silly gag game referencing a popular immersive sim series
Get Out And Run Some Errands is a point and click game about having to leave the house
and Asteroid Run is an action game about flying a spaceship through an asteroid field
Helpful Decker Modules:
Typetext lets you have text appear in a field one character at a time, optionally with sound effects
PaletteFade is a series of functions for manipulating Decker palettes to create various effects, including fading to black and crossfading
I just discovered decker through the work of OXY here on itch, they have a ton of great projects made using Decker including:
