FOUR - 20hours gamejam game by schattenkind

[SiENcE]

We (schattenkind.net) made another game. Have fun!

FOUR is a 1-4 Player one button game.

You need to reach the green finish line. The first Player wins it all.
The world is generated dynamically and new, every time you start a new race!

All gameplay-code, graphics & music was made in 20 hours during the OverNight Contest at Devmania 2012 6-7.10.2012 in Mainz!

Nice job!

Was devmania an online event, or was it somewhere you guys got together and did this? Great for twenty hours. A few bugs, but nonetheless, a great prototype!

I see you used my lovemenu*, even though there were quite a few changes. I see you made quite a few changes to the lib; if you have any requests or bugs to file, I watch the issue queue!

On your website blog post, you say "All code, graphics & music was made in ~20 hours during the OverNight Contest at Devmania 2012 6-7.10.2012 in Mainz!" and then go to credit, "Made with LÖVE!"

I don't really care, because I'm very happy that you used and adapted my library, but be careful in the future;

I really wanted to make sure you had used my lib, instead of just re-writing it, so I did a diff; https://gist.github.com/4069304

The ZLIB license (which lovemenu is licensed under) carefully states a few things;

* I really need to rebase this lib.

That's pretty cool.

The ZLIB license (which lovemenu is licensed under) carefully states a few things;

He didn't distribute the source, he distributed a binary. And if he hadn't used the word "all" in front of code, there probably wouldn't be anything questionable about it.

I'm a little bit irritated for the amount of work you put into decompilation or whatever you did to get the code.

=> You should have asked me via PM.

I changed code to gameplay-code because this is what i meant. I also added lovemenu as reference. Of couse we didn't wrote all code during a 20hour jam overnight. The changes for lovemenu where mainly hacks, so i saw no reason to distribute them.

As you can see on our website, we mostly distribute the love/source files with our games. But i have to clear it up with all devs that worked on the game. I had no time for this yet. => Thats why you still see strikes for linux/macosx/web .

So please don't cover this thread for a licensing discussion. I release the source as soon as all devs agreed.

Thx. As you can see on the video on our website the event is an offline event => http://www.devmania.org since 1999 (dusmania) (theoretical the first gamejam party of the world).

Okay, to come back on the topic, I hate you, SiENcE.
Just because, I run it, and it looked sooo gorgeous. Music, Ui, everything.
And when I hit "start", it crashed (see attachment).
Fix iiiiit, now! Or I shall summon the gods of Löve, and they won't have mercy on your soul.

[SiENcE]

Thx Roland :-)

Arrgs strange. I assume your PC doesn't supports shaders?

I fixed the bug and uploaded the game again. I hope this fixes your problems.

the game needs at least 2players, better 4 .

have fun.

@josefnpat: i added your license.

[Roland_Yonaba]

Thx Roland :-)

I updated the game. I hope this fixes your problems.

Well, right assumption. So that might be the cause...
If you managed to add support for my PC, that's awesome, lemme try it then.

the game needs at least 2players, better 4 .
have fun.

Well, I have two arms, and two feet. That makes 4 players.
Let's have fun.

The nose can be used too .

I really meant no offence, and I feel bad at this point.

The decompilation was the only way I could run the game on linux, and the diff was only to rest my own doubts, as I knew a lot of the code had changed.

Code: Select all

diff menu.lua FOUR_schattenkind/scenes/menu.lua --ignore-space-change --ignore-case -U999999999999

=> You should have asked me via PM.

And again, I apologize. I am new to people using my libraries and the intricacies therein. I will do that in the future.

That sounds like so much fun! Are there some rankings and/or prizes?

That's no work at all. A merged LÖVE game is still a valid zip file, so it is no more work than getting the source from a .love. If you think that's a problem, don't use LÖVE. I happen to think it's excellent.
