Day 06: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

Today I completed the core game mechanic of my game!

First I created a Snake object using a free image downloaded from the internet. I wanted to appear the snake at random positions. So instead of deleting and creating the object, I used the clever trick of changing the position of the object.


Then I created 2 texts for losing ("Game Over!") and winning ("You Won!") the game. Then I added the events to hide and show these texts along with other actions. I haven't decided yet the number of apples the farmer should collect to win and whether the farmer has more than 1 life.

Day 11: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

Today I built the Credits screen! I don't know whether this is the correct way to build the Credits screen but somehow I did it. I also use the grid for the first time. It is a useful tool to align objects. Then I built the logic to blink the texts that appear at the top of the screen. It took so much time to build the logic for the "Play Again" text. I will need to review the docs for the event system of GDevelop later.

Day 12: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

I submitted my game!!!!!!!  Today is the final day to submit the game and I did it! All I had to do today is to add some sound effects and some minor tweaks. I added a particle emitter object to appear when the boy dies. I tried to add a particle effect for the "You Won" text to appear as confetti but it didn't work. Then I watched a tutorial on how to export the game and upload it to itch.io . I followed the steps and uploaded my game. At first, the resolution was not right, so I had to change it. I need to learn about different resolutions for games to avoid such kinds of problems. I also created a GitHub repository for my game. Even though this is not a fun game to play (at least for me), I feel proud for creating this game and participating in this game jam. I might write another blog post on my experience with this game jam.
