Spent a good 45mins today trying to figure out why a light in my game wouldn't turn on. Turns out in the constructor I had the light's "color" set to black (off) for some reason...

This key holder will keep your keys tight together and will let you know that the exit is now open and there are no more keys. How helpful!

Well, of course the point of using a grid system is convenience/simplicity. That's why it's so common. I started this thread looking for the use of uncommon tile shapes.

Hexagons are probably the most common alternative to squares/rectangles, like in Opus Magnum:


The article just had me wondering if anyone was crazy enough to have tried any of the other shapes.

I love that you guys are making a game about this.

Today I read this article about a new pentagon discovered that can cover a plane perfectly and completely by tiling.

At the bottom of the article, it has this nice picture of all such pentagons discovered so far:


I'd bet you could make a very interesting looking game with tiles of some of these shapes.

(the article also mentions that all triangles and quadrilaterals can tile a plane. Of course, hexagons can too.)

Has anyone ever seen/made a game that explored this idea? I'd imagine that it would get messy when you have to start dealing with pixels, but I still want to see/try it!

Big fan of everything about this.

I love limited color palettes. What are the 16 colors you chose?

All I really need to make a game is game states/rooms, a way to put sprites on screen (and animate them), a way to handle sounds, and collision detection.

Maybe particles? You could probably make your own in the above theoretical game engine though.

Absolutely no f*cking clue how I got here. Also hello.

This is great

Great concept

Love the visual style.
