Corona Blitz 2017.01 (April 1-8, 2017)

@Rob, same here.

@no2games, I can’t seem to run the .exe successfully. I managed to see what you’ve done from GitHub code but all I see from .exe is a black screen. I thought you should know that.

Other than that, the animations look really nice and smooth. Also, making it open source and sharing a timelapse, thank you for that :slight_smile:

I took the liberty of extending the jam time to use weekend period. Waiting for more entries :slight_smile:

@no2games This is great. FWIW I got a lot out of watching the art creation as part of the workflow. May I ask how you did the time lapse video?

Damn, I have planned to do this through the week, but I ended up starting this evening :wink:

Still have some things to finish, but I am sure to finish before deadline and before reaching 4hrs…

Even though the idea got far less complex then I intended…

@bgmadclown That’s so weird… it runs after building, but i won’t run on the second launch. I’ll try moving to a newer build of Corona and re-post

@brainofsteel It’s just OBS with a 1 frame a second frame-rate.

@krystian6, I’m pretty sure you can make it work before the extended deadline :wink:

@no2games - great concept/style/design, looks sweet! :slight_smile:

@sharp100 - yours is looking great too!

as for tools used, it’s all Illustrator, scripted, emitting lua code - image sheet spec, physics export, image export itself.  it may be the wackiest tool chain ever invented, but it works for me.   :)  I can CODE with Illustrator, I just can’t DRAW with Illustrator!   :smiley:  but fe it saves me time exporting ~20 individual images, just to fight with Texture Packer to get them all reassembled, instead I just do it “in-place”.  example (showing normally hidden image sheet and physics layers)

It needed a system.pathForFile() to get to the .json… All fixed.

Hey

so I have published my work.

https://krstn.itch.io/brave

It took me around 5.5h [around 3.5h coding] including the search for assets, preparation of animations etc.

I have to admit, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done something like this in Corona, but it was fun :slight_smile:

I wish I could have spent more time searching for assets, as this could have become much nicer.

Well… anyway, I just wanted to complete the game. I’m not a quitter :slight_smile:

As I was getting closer to 4h I decided to just leave it as it is :slight_smile:

It’s a bit of a shame, as some of my colleagues decided to drop out even though they have had some nice ideas [Paweł, talking to you mate ;)], but I’m happy others did it [Łukasz, Bartosz, nice!], and I hope rest will follow as time was extended.

Thanks

Well, I just barely squeaked by (thanks in part to reclaiming my 25 minutes from “art”, itself made in a rush), but more or less got what I wanted in. If planning had counted in the time I might have gotten a half hour’s coding done at most.  :stuck_out_tongue: In theory I guess I could revise the art tomorrow, but I doubt I will. Will do the various submissions stuff in the next day or two.

Anyhow, in case anybody’s interested and assuming I didn’t miss anything, here’s the project: Vir Tiw et Lupus Fenrir Aside from some input code in utils.lua , all from scratch and / or memory.

@StarCrunch, interesting stuff you got there. Are you planning on uploading a build to itch.io? I got to see it through GitHub with physics.debug and all but I would love to see a final, downloadable version if you got the time.

@bgmadclown Yep, that’s the “next day or two” bit.  :slight_smile: (Too tired now. Time to play some Xenoblade.)

Naturally, I recalled the physics flag on my way out the door on an errand. :smiley:

I said I wouldn’t but I’ve knocked up an entire game in under 3 hours after a night @ the pub (so prob only about 2 hours of real-time if I hadn’t had quite so many beers!). All within 200 lines of code in a single lua file and only 2 pngs…

It will probably not be so great tomorrow… but hey… it’s the thought that counts right? lol

Now to figure out how upload it… 3am for me so maybe… not definitely… a job for tomorrow and a more sober mind I think.

No luck for me, though i did create two sheets of demon drink characters which was fun, and played with the ponywolf template, which worked fine running in sublime, but conked out on my Nexus 7, and i was reminded why i like lua and Corona…Which I haven’t touched in a year or so. Well worth it. Also the patience game with the sliding symbols is genius Rob

tidy UP

_ “Cleanliness is a virtue…” _

_ In this fast-paced arcade game you have to clear up the mess in 20 seconds. Simply swipe the rubbish into the correct bin to clear up the room! Be careful though, putting the wrong colour rubbish in a bin just makes more rubbish. Can you clear the room before the timer expires? _

 

From concept to fully tested game in 3 hours using  ONLY  Corona SDK… no fancy graphics, no libraries, no plugins, just 200 lines of pure Lua code!  My goal was to deliver a fully-finished game that put playability first.

Pretty impressive work team Corona Blitz!

I submitted my app, does it need to be approved before it shows up or did I do something wrong?

I figured it out.  The last setting said “Draft” so I switched it to public

Well I shot past the 4 hour limit by 1.5 hours so I may be disqualified, but here is my game:

Here is a video of the ‘completed’ (marginally playable game):

Here is the game at the 4-hour mark:

Note: I think I could have gotten this done in 4-hours but not being able to use SSK really slowed me down. :frowning:

I forgot how much work it is to long-hand code everything and not to use ready-made solutions.

Note: Coding in Corona is still super easy and much faster than any other engine/SDK I have ever used, so don’t misunderstand the comment above.  I am simply saying I am accustomed to using SSK and it really does give me a huge speed boost on top of Corona.  It include a lot of builders, shorthand notation for long function names, debug utilities, etc.

Ed, you could use SSK if I understood the rules correctly.

  • You  CAN  use any assets, libraries and plugins (except “Remove Splash Screen” plugin) that you create, rightfully own or have the right to use it with appropriate licenses but you have to state the corresponding licenses in your game page and your binary.

I used SSK in my app.   All the camera panning is courtesy of SSK - easy camera.
