This is really awesome! I've always been intimidated by the SDL library but your source code puts it into a much easier context! Thanks for that and the video

[@RobLang]

I'm impressed that you choose a new library each game jam! I can see the benefit of it; you're time boxing your analysis of the library while making something complete without procrastination. I like the concept of the game. Given your own personal goal of learning a library, does that mean you forego the design step I see from so many others? Really enjoyed your Dev log, thanks for sharing! 👍

[@PolyMars]

Thanks! Recently the extent of my design step in game jams has been coming up with a basic mechanic, and I make up the rest as I go haha

"BORING! SHUT UP, NERD" -Some guy from Dani's videos

[@declans3767]

Add a feature where if you hit something, then the character follows the mouse for a certain amount of time. So if you make the mouse a ghost, you can collect something that makes the ghost blue (like pac man) and if the character touches the blue ghost you die.

[@catostre]

“We have to put semicolons there because this is a real programming language, not python” Correct me if I’m wrong, but you can use semicolons in python. It’s not required, but you can.

[@stealthinator5774]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing

[@2012knp]

Doesn’t PEP8 complain about them?

[@dwhiffing]

Imagine thinking semicolons are the mark of a real programming language though; I guess that makes css a real programming language :D

[@prabhsaini1]

[@nonnymoose7005]

@@dwhiffing Not a mark, but a requirement. CSS is a programming language in the same way that Bubblegum (esolangs.org/wiki/Bubblegum) is a programming language.

[@Khud0]

This game looks very fun! I wish there was also a reason to move anywhere but forwards (to the right). The first suggestions which come to mind: 1) click (or hold LMB / RMB) above player to duck, 2) long pit, a "bridge platform" for which is located higher than you can jump. Then there'd be some block, walled from the left side, but open from the right side. Jump on it and then on the bridge.

[@PolyMars]

These are awesome ideas, thanks for the suggestions! I’ll try to implement ducking and vertical climbing sections whenever I update the project since they’d definitely add a lot to the game :)

[@Khud0]

My personal experience with SDL2 in my own projects has been largely positive. I was thinking of ditching it at one point because it seemed like it would ultimately be too high level at the end of the day for my usage, but then I learned a lot of games I know and actually like, such as Don't Starve, actually uses SDL2 and manage to make a very well-performant game so I've redecided on that. :D

I have an idea: In most jams, you can use anything people can download. So..... Make a game.... In scratch (or some other block based coding platform) Think about it: It’s not advanced, so you’ll need to think outside the box. You can download scratch files and also upload Edit: No-one is going to read this, why did I comment it?

[@starchy_]

Cool idea... scratch is my go-to coding platform...

[@saltwatertoaster5842]

Scratch more like bore ragnorok

​ @Saltwater toaster Just because the scratch games you have played (or made) are boring, does not mean that scratch is, itself, boring. You shoulden't make generalizations like that based on a small and biased sample size.

[@ultrandz1089]

i whatched this whole video thinking this was steven but now i found another youtuber to whatch :D

[@NeoNeko420]

A small update I could recommend is adding a random limited spawn of enemies, some that jump, some that fly, some that walk, and some that just stay in place, I believe that would add some difficulty but to counter this you could simply give your little guy a laser that blasts these enemies away, but only shoot straight forward meaning you'll have to jump to hit the flyers. It wouldn't be hard to implement considering you know how to and it would give use to that ghost idea, giving the gloomy background purpose. 10/10 would try it out

To make it easier, you could make a circle that works as the radius of the cursor to move the guy. You could also make a person with low opacity at the same place as him that shows how high he’d jump if you clicked right now. You could add another mode where you can’t see it for people who want the challenge though.
