Sometimes, when I have nothing better to do, I make dumb little things my friends call games. They also tell me to share them, so here they are, in a nice remote corner of the internet where all 30 of you can see them.

DISCLAIMER: These games are bad. Not polished, not optimized, no sound. Mac and Linux versions are an enigma to me. If you find a bug, let me know so I can be grumpled with you.

----------------------------------

Apple Drop

Downloads: Windows 32 / 64

A "game" about dropping apples. You can also drag the apples. After a point, you begin to question why you downloaded it. It hasn't crashed yet, and that astounds me.

---

Apple Eat

Downloads: Windows 32 / 64

Much easier to call a game. You feed a Thing apples, as many as possible. Still not the most compelling thing, but at least it has an ending. My high score is 58.

Blob

Downloads: Windows 32 / 64

A terrible virtual pet, and what I imagine childcare feels like to the uninitiated. It can only die by starvation at this point.

More games will be added later, maybe.

Strictly inferior to Idle Chopper.

0/10, would rather have 6.3 hematomas.

How dare you.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the boss trees in your game?

I rest my case.

10/10 sticks, would chop again

Do you mean wood chop? 8D *badumtss*

go home you're banned

*click* win64...

Well geez, I can't play any of them.

Oh boy. 32-bit, Linux or Mac? I think I've got versions for all of those, but they're entirely untested.

Mac. I do HAVE a Win64 machine I could drag out but Mac would be much better.

I'm going to fix all these up a bit, this thread was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Said fixing will include Mac versions. :D

Updated the entire thread, including links to versions besides Windows.

EDIT: Fixed what I broke in Apple Eat. :')

Looks like your deployment tool is buggy. None of the Mac versions actually work; they all crash on startup. Doing some digging it looks like the problem is that nwjs Framework is bogus -- it's just a file that contains the text "Versions/Current/nwjs Framework" instead of an actual library binary. If I had to take a guess, the cross-platform deployment tool doesn't work on Windows because of the difference in how symbolic links are handled. This is an issue on Scirra's side because a different directory structure would have avoided the need for it in the first place.

But on that note... Let's just say: I'm good at my job. ;) I fixed it locally by moving some files inside around to be in the places that the program actually expected.

So now to actually talk about it: Not bad for just starting to get into it! This is certainly head and shoulders above what I was accomplishing when I had been programming for that long.

Gaaaah. *shakes fist at Scirra*
Well, that is unfortunate. Glad you got it working though! I'll have to fix those in the future. For now, the links will be removed.

And thank you! I've learned that thinking of interesting ideas is much more difficult than making them. At least for me, for now.

I've also got to get over not making things just because they've been done before. Not an excuse.
