Minigame Simulator 0.3 (Major Update!)
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2014 12:09 am
Hello! So, I've started working on this minigame simulator a LONG time ago, but I actually just started it (but never finished). Recently, I decided to take some time to return to it, and improved a lot of things for it. It is far from finished, but it is playable already.
The main point of this simulator is to have multiple minigames in a single game AND to let people add in their own games or download someone else's games, as well as let them play on custom-made simulator skins, so they feel like playing with any "console" they like!
The games currently present by default are Snake and Tetris, as well as a "tech-demo" 3D-ish cube by alesan99, but you can install and play any game made for this, or follow the guides to make your own minigame (requires some knowledge of Lua and LÖVE).
If you have any questions about how to make minigames for this, just check out "Reference.lua" inside the .love file. For making custom skin sets, check out "Sets.lua".
I'll try to keep updating it based on my To-Do list, or just by adding new games/sets. So if you have any problems or suggestions, just let me know
