I'm no game dev, but I have dabbled into making interactive PowerPoint presentations before. There are more things someone could do if they ever approach creating games in PPT. Triggers and Actions are a huge thing, but I hope using Macros and VBA can also be explored in the future. Good video! Glad to see you two having fun with PPT.

[@minidavid-devdave]

vba is pretty fun. I could see it being a huge thing in making powerpoint games. Though I think the idea of a powerpoint game is to make it simple. VBA and macros depending on the version could make a powerpoint game unplayable. I remember trying to make a microsoft word game with vba for ludum dare with ms word 2010 and it was unplayable because people using more modern and supported versions had problems; maybe it was the settings or the syntax- I wasn't too sure

[@aurisbunni]

@@minidavid-devdave Ah, you're correct. I haven't accounted for compatibility issues and settings when using a different version of Office. I've also experienced that at some point. It's for sure a pain to realize that something you've worked on doesn't work on other people's systems.

[@aurisbunni]

@@cgplays9 It's kinda fun if you have a general knowledge of what to do with it. It's also pretty practical outside of using it for that purpose (like automating specific tasks within the program). It's understandable that you don't find it fun, though.

[@SpoopyChicken]

As a kid, I made an entire "impossible quiz" type game way back when that game was still popular. I used hyperlinks and buttons to do this. I unfortunately lost the file 9 years ago, and I don't have it anymore but I basically copied a ton of mechanics and levels from that game and put it into Microsoft PowerPoint as a game that literally only me and my friends would play. It was a ton of fun. Man, I'm honestly impressed at how motivated kid me was to create a 50 level quiz game on a PPT.

[@hibiirdofficial5100]

Wow nice! I did something similar for a school project, we were doing a project about animal classifications, so i could click the domain i want and then it would show me the phylums in the domain. I got a pretty good grade on it i think

you should've added a huge rectangle as a background and assigned a no-op action to it on click. Otherwise you can skip through slides by just clicking on the background/any non-interactive stuff

[@NaCubical]

there was a hyperlink

[@aurisbunni]

...or set up the slide show to be "Browsed at a kiosk". That setting can be found in the Slide Show tab. It does not allow the user to interact with the slide (even with a keyboard), except for Action buttons.

[@TheStegosaurus_]

In the transition options, disable Next Slide on Click. Because whenever you click on the white background, you get taken to the next slide.

There’s a programming language in PowerPoint and you can tie the functions to shape actions. Through code, you can modify shape attributes, such as color, position, animations, and more. There’s a problem tough... the language in question is VBA.

[@CalebHopkins]

I used to do stuff like this all the time as a kid 😂 it's actually what got me into games design originally. I would spend hours making point and click adventures, collecting keys to open doors and stuff. I would quite offton hit like 1000 slides haha. And maze games where always fun to make too. Back In PowerPoint 2003 this was 😂 Love the video! Definitely brought back some nostalgia for me 😊👍

[@Fighter_Builder]

yoooo I used to make Powerpoint games back in high school! I remember a particularly ambitious one I made that was a first-person point & click exploration game, complete with simple puzzles. I don't remember a ton of specifics other than that it had some trippy environments towards the end but I was pretty dang proud of it.

if you ever do this again (maybe by using google slides instead, since it's severely more limited) here's a tip: you can make some pretty good point-and-click adventure games with both powerpoint and google slides.

[@IamMonvi]

Reminds me of the "Escape The Powerpoint of Doom" games I made in highschool. You can make full blown boss battles, if you spend enough time on it, and have rather complex puzzles, due to the way you can cause different animations to activate, by clicking on a piece of clip art, and just keep all unused assets off screen, until you need them, and use animation paths to bring them onto the slide.

back when I was living in a remote village with no internet, i was making mazes and hidden object games in powerpoint. when i got hold of ROBLOX Studio (at that time it was usable offline), i went from using shapes for art to in-engine screenshots for every scene. i had fun making a prison escape game with it
