toki pona

Hi,
I’m working on a toki pona  app  to help people   learning the vocabulary. It’s named “o kama sona e  toki pona!“.

Actually only available in French, it will be available in English soon.  The app is free and will be released on the google store.

While waiting, you can try the  Windows version (english and french language).  Linux and macOS versions are on their way too.

Stones – Animation pipeline

After the tests, it’s time to set all the context.

The work has been done to setup the sounds and musics import, to manage screen resolution with a pixel perfect mode (windowed and full screen). The last part was a bit tricky (10h ! a lot of  changes between GM Studio 1.4 and 2 about views and cameras).

The last big missing part was… sprites and animations management. I spent nearly a full day to build the pipeline : find and learn software that can fit in my tools chain (Affinity Designer & GM Studio).

The winners are CrazyTalk Animator and TexturePacker !

I don’t know if this choice is the best but It’s cleary the one I will stick by : the sofwares are not that hard to use and produce really good stuffs.

STONES-20190208-2

Stones (game) splash screen has markers for 16/9 and 4/3 which helped me to test the screen resolution management. The game stay full height and adapt its width regarding the monitor aspect ratio.

I’m now working on the GUI : menu, navigation between options,… I hope I could be back on the gameplay soon when all the boring (but required) things are in place.

If you want to see how a game in the starting block looks like (actually just a girl walking… and a menu), just click.

1bac2

As previously announced here, a new version of Stones is coming… slowly but surely :-)

The goal is to take care of every remark and to polish the game with more levels. After PICO-8, the journey will continue on GameMaker Studio 2.

Before the big jump, some features are tested :
– smooth camera,
– 70 percent of the area in from of the player,
– …

The musics of the game are made by Daniel O’Connor. Click on the image below to get a preview of the main theme…

If you made some levels and want them to be included, it’s time to send them.

Ludum Dare 43

From Saturday December 1st to Sunday December 2nd, 2018 was the Ludum Dare 43. The goal is to produce a game which complies with the theme in two days. The theme was Sacrifices must be made.

I made an entry on my spare time (6 hours) : Stones. The principle of the game is the following : you’re the Spirit of the stones and have to collect (and sacrifice) them. Will you find the path ? Could you resolve the gods challenge? Is 1min16 is enough for you to succeed ? Let’s play :-)

picarde, a pico-8 cards player

Hi,
Picarde is a pico-8 cards player (provided with five cards) designed for persons who can’t easely handle the keyboard nor a gamepad.
The controls are provided as big buttons you can scratch on a tactile screen. So you can use any part of your body or prothesis to play. You can play with a mouse, an eye tracker or trackback too (if you have it and can use it).

Remarks:

  • On some cards, x/z buttons may have been switched (depends on the game implementation by their authors).
  • The program installs a local dedicated web server on a port between 8000 and 8020 to serve the datas. Windows will problably ask you to allow this.

As usual, any help welcome, PayPal or whatever you want (add a link to this page).

Regards,
jihem

PICARDE

Download picarde.zip, uncompress (on the Desktop or in %AppData%), open the folder picarde and launch picarde.exe.

You will have to two UAC warnings to allow the execution of the programs (picarde.exe, picarde-http.exe) and one to allow the use of the TCP/IP port. Thanks to windows :’-( If I had a developper certificate to sign the exe I could remove these UAC warnings (but since most of my programs are used for free, I have no money for this). So please, stop complain about that.

Cards :

  • Minesweeper by Sophie Kirschner,
  • Pico-2048 by Aslan85,
  • Puzzle Cave 1 by Hackefuffle,
  • Picross-8 by Nest,

toSay

Hi,

To help disabled persons to communicate using a computer, I started to write toSay. It’s an attempt to offer a way to type text and to let it be said by the computer (button [ :-D]). Two versions are available (010E and 011E). The last offer the opportunity to manage a web browser (Chrome) : [E] to start it, [TAB->] and [TAB<-] to send tab key to the browser to move to the next/previous item, [ENTER] to send the typed text to the browser followed by the Enter key. For this, you will need a computer with Windows 10 and the speach extension (provided by default).

You can use tobii Eye tracker with Gaze Point to allow the use of the software only with the eyes (no need of the hands).

I’m still working on 011E to improve the browser management and to add some additional features. Any help welcome, PayPal or whatever you want.

Regards,
jihem
