FUZE Showcase Gallery - The "Not a Competition" Competition!

Spacemario

Done a weekend early! For whomever is interested, feel free to play test once it's approved: A5V63MND1P

I didn't wind up doing the 3d shop part, I'm going to save that for a totally new game in the future. Barring bug fixes, I'm considering Skatey-Cat to be finished now: it has three overworlds plus corresponding new dungeon types, songs, and enemies, and it's all stitched together with a nice difficulty curve.

Some of the new content:

@Dave I have created a private share solitaire/patience game with the code 9HD63MND1Z it's not completely finished, but I hope I should be able to finish it this weekend.

Although many Solitaire card games exist, I hope this wouldn't be a copyright issue, because it's Solitaire (just like you wouldn't expect a copyright claim about a chess game). However I really don't know much about international law, so I'm also open to suggestions and feedback in that aspect.

I am aware that a few things need polishing:

I need to detect game finished / game over scenario's and act on them appropriately
It needs to be possible to drag a card from the foundation regions (top right regions)
Some ideas on improving the user experience if there is time

I am wondering if it's within the ballpark of getting accepted for the FUZE Player, or if there are concerns with it, that I should pay attention to (code quality / copyrights / etc.).

I hope I'm not too late to ask about these things :)

Just reshared pogo jo with the legal wrap.
Hopefully it get's in. That would be awesome!!!

I've now completed the Patience Solitair game with id 9HD63MND1Z. Would love to have it added to the FUZE Player, so if it would make the cut, I'd like to hear from you guys :D

Dave

@PB____ Thank you so much for that submission. Excellent program, fantastically written, thoroughly commented, works beautifully. I've got a couple of comments that I will message you privately about - but I think it's fair to say this will be making it into the Showcase Gallery. Congratulations dude :) We'll chat about the changes you want to make too.

Dave

@xevdev Hi, is the updated version a new name? I'm looking at the live version and I'm not sure if it's the latest! Perhaps you could resubmit the program for sharing approval with a new name, like Go Go Pogo Jo - Showcase Submission

SwitchedOn

@PB____ great job on the Solitaire mate, just played it and its a really polished game. Congratulations!!!

@Dave just saw your post will do later today but yeah it's the current one. Will do after work today. Thanks.

xevdev

@Dave did as you asked but seems I will have maybe an issue with the save states as being a copy it doesn't have a save file. Ran the reset_score_table() and this fixed the problem ( line 2897 ). May have to write a check file ? And as I think of that if I try to read a file and it's not there I not sure if there's a way to catch an error? Anyway it should have a file now attached so I'll update now called pogo Jo - showcase submission.

@xevdev So there is no error generated when you try to read from the file system without first writing. However if you try to read anything it returns an empty string. So you could have something like this:

function fileExists()
    var handle = open()
    var test = read( handle, 4 )
    close()
    var result = (test != "")
return result

xevdev

@pianofire thanks will implement but this will only happen if it's a copy or will this happen if someone downloads the game ?

pianofire

@xevdev A good question. I have already confirmed that when you share a game the save file is shared with it. Not sure about copy though I will have to check.

Dave

NOTICE TO EVERYBODY: The submission deadline for included demo programs in the Player release has been extended. The submission deadline is now 16th March, and this is of course subject to change depending on the progress of the Player.

Don't let the deadline discourage you from making a submission. The deadline only applies if you want your game to be in the included programs of the release version. It can always get into the Showcase Gallery, regardless of time submitted.

I have also amended the original post to be less dense, and have added a link to a separate forum page containing the license agreement information. Please feel free to leave a comment here or send me a message for clarification on anything at all.

Thanks!

@vinicity was checking out the showcase and really dig the music in 'Senorita Space Worm.' Well done on the relaxing and uplifting soundtrack.

My son has been experimenting with different sounds for his game and definitely going to recommend he look at what you did.

Cheers!

vinicity

Thanks!

Can’t really take much credit for it, though, since they are Fuze assets. All I did was to add in lots of reverb for that dreamy, dubby feeling.
