That would be a lot of effort, however the game seems completely unobfuscated and there are plenty of helper methods, i'm currently working on a mod to implement something similar to this, though there would be no "download center" or anything, you would need to share the levels elsewhere Edit: I've mostly finished this mod i said i was working on now, and i've asked sam in twitter DMs for permission to share the mod (since the mod modifies the same files as "SmartFridgeGamer"s playground, which is just the code, but 99% of that code is sam's)
you could possibly have multi-player, where you have your side you can move blocks on, and the opposite side where the enemy can, and you have "enemy" blocks you have to protect and vice versa. destroy the enemy's enemy blocks and you win
Honestly, this game looks very interesting! If I would’ve added something, then maybe a sandbox mode, kinda like the one you used to plan out levels. Give players the opportunity to create levels of their own. Still a great game!
I wish he would add a numbers mode where the enemies have a number and number = health/damage and bigger number is harder to kill BUT when a generator has a number (if it does) that is both the health and the number of blocks it makes
AnimeNinja008 Because... GAME JAM. Why would he make a sandbox in which he needs to create linear-ity for a game submission? He could work on a sandbox later since sandbox in the first place wasn't required

(exceptions being materials like gold) 1: Every pixel counts! Make sure your lines look like what you intend them to do, and zoom out regularly to check the overall picture 1A: Spare your highlights! Too much or too little can make your material look too different 2: Start small, then work with bigger and bigger canvas sizes as you go along. You may even find a size you prefer! 3: Limit your palette! Keep your colors few so you can make more creative decisions. You can even limit your palette to just two colors! 3A: If you're not sure what colors to use, you can download a pre-determined palette on lospec.com/palette-list 4: Use a very dark tone as black for your characters! That way they'll stand out more from the background 4A: You can put a light-colored border around your characters if your palette doesn't have two different options for black

"I made a 0 player game. The player will (play the game)" That being said, still a neat concept and a good puzzler! The generators were especially cool, and the rotation blocks were tricky to wrap my head around but still pretty cool.
Sweet! This is a really cool idea! I like that solutions just sort of happen if you experiment enough. I like how with level 8 for example you sort of have to let it play out first before you can visualize how to complete it. The distorted pixel art look is cool in my opinion also. Loved that you used the game of life as segment transitions too :D Awesome job!
Thanks Garrett! Haha that could also just be bad level design on my part. The pixel stuff didn't turn out too bad i guess, but I could definitely do with following some tutorials. Thanks so much for playing it!!!
@@GSFigure That is not true. Server is the mode common way, but I remember there is 1 game on Google play store that uses twitter This method does not work due to twitter change their picture format anymore and the game has been taken down, but it shows potential Yes, I said picture format. The game uses the picture uploaded into the twitter to get how the level is laid out.

gamestop at 3am employee: so what do you want customer: i was wondering if this game is 2 player games so i can play it with my "friends" employee: thaats zero player customer:what?
Do we want to talk about this is "just" a well made, interesting single player puzzle game? There are endgoals and *the player* has to place the blocks in a correct configuration. Not to rain on anyone's parade but it's weird how many comments just went along with the zero player thing.
I know right? This looks super cool, and props to him for making this so quick, but... if you’re supposed to do something, then it’s not 0 players. I was expecting some boring AI powered game that you just watch, not an actual puzzle game.
A cool way to extend the life cycle of this game for "relatively" little effort is a map editor that exports level data as a string. Just give each cell a unique character and export it to a string row by row. then add a play button for custom levels that asks for a string input field. This way levels can be shared easily without much effort. Of course it's no guarantee they're playable from start to finish. But it's always a nice feature that's relatively easy to make.
He could implement a feature where you have to complete the level before you can upload a string, that would almost solve the uncompletable problem. Unless you edited the string

I wish he’d add a creator mode to this so you could build anything using that engine. Edit: OMG 1.7k likes, that’s more likes than all my other comments put together!
That'd be really cool! That'd be like Conway's game where you can make stuff. (What i mean is that you can create cool animations or machines or a glider thing)

1: Every pixel counts! Make sure your lines look like what you intend them to do, and zoom out regularly to check the overall picture
1A: Spare your highlights! Too much or too little can make your material look too different
2: Start small, then work with bigger and bigger canvas sizes as you go along. You may even find a size you prefer!
3: Limit your palette! Keep your colors few so you can make more creative decisions. You can even limit your palette to just two colors!
3A: If you're not sure what colors to use, you can download a pre-determined palette on lospec.com/palette-list
4: Use a very dark tone as black for your characters! That way they'll stand out more from the background
4A: You can put a light-colored border around your characters if your palette doesn't have two different options for black

Yeah he needs to do that and add a sandbox mode.
agree
Actually, none of us will play this.
"I made a 0 player game. The player will (play the game)"
That being said, still a neat concept and a good puzzler! The generators were especially cool, and the rotation blocks were tricky to wrap my head around but still pretty cool.

Oh yes
as a pixel artist, you saying "you're supposed to do a random pattern for shading" was excruciatingly painful
It almost makes me want to mod the game to replace the art
Sweet! This is a really cool idea! I like that solutions just sort of happen if you experiment enough. I like how with level 8 for example you sort of have to let it play out first before you can visualize how to complete it. The distorted pixel art look is cool in my opinion also. Loved that you used the game of life as segment transitions too :D Awesome job!
Thanks Garrett! Haha that could also just be bad level design on my part. The pixel stuff didn't turn out too bad i guess, but I could definitely do with following some tutorials. Thanks so much for playing it!!!
Sam Hogan I was actually looking for comments saying your pixel art isn’t that bad, because it isn’t terrible but quite nice in my opinion c:
@@SamHogan make a sandbox mode or make it on andriod
This game would be AMAZING with a level editor and level sharing
fr tho
He would need a server to store the levels, but I agree.
Maybe a sandbox where we can just do random things.
@@GSFigure not really. you can have seeds to share games
@@GSFigure That is not true.
Server is the mode common way, but I remember there is 1 game on Google play store that uses twitter
This method does not work due to twitter change their picture format anymore and the game has been taken down, but it shows potential
Yes, I said picture format. The game uses the picture uploaded into the twitter to get how the level is laid out.
I don't know how he do it, but it is definitely possible (Unfortunately, will need to use different service now that uses the old twitter file format, which I don't know what's the format is..)

Do we want to talk about this is "just" a well made, interesting single player puzzle game? There are endgoals and *the player* has to place the blocks in a correct configuration.
Not to rain on anyone's parade but it's weird how many comments just went along with the zero player thing.
I know right? This looks super cool, and props to him for making this so quick, but... if you’re supposed to do something, then it’s not 0 players. I was expecting some boring AI powered game that you just watch, not an actual puzzle game.
i guess
well yeah but its still cool
@@squibble311 Totally agree!
luisgi I agree! It’s an awesome game, especially given the time constraint. But it isn’t 0 player.
This game is really cool. You should make way more levels because this could be a real game! Also, sandbox mode???
Sandbox mode would add so much for the original concept! Let players experiment with emergent behaviour
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Isn't it already a real game?
Did I mention that for a beginner, that pixel art looked nice.
It also annoys me that there are 17 levels when theres a giant hole in the level select for a level 18. (even though there should be 100 levels)
I'm never gonna stop hoping that somday you will return to us sam :((
The fact that you did this in 48 hours is impressive, takes me a entire day to code a moving block.

A cool way to extend the life cycle of this game for "relatively" little effort is a map editor that exports level data as a string.
Just give each cell a unique character and export it to a string row by row. then add a play button for custom levels that asks for a string input field.
This way levels can be shared easily without much effort. Of course it's no guarantee they're playable from start to finish. But it's always a nice feature that's relatively easy to make.
He could implement a feature where you have to complete the level before you can upload a string, that would almost solve the uncompletable problem. Unless you edited the string
The art for the cells is actually super cute
"Come on, the game won't play itself"
The game:
ah yes,
This really brings “GG game is 2 ez, basically plays itself” to a whole new level.
If it plays itself (which kinda does), it'll bring it to a whole new level
xD
(Idk if this joke is even that funny lol)

@@nicefloweytheoverseer7632 you don’t know of the whole yandere simulator situation… do you? It’s been like 7 years and he doesn’t know how to code properly (yeah his code “works” decently, but when you look at it, it’s all over the place) and when people offer him help he repeatedly gets angry at them and they just give up trying to help him lol, along with the strange way he codes, even when they do attempt to help they don’t know where to begin as the game is all over the place. Yeah it’s a bigger game, but even some simple mechanics he can’t implement properly, which is a shame as I would really love to see the game done. He should just hand over the game to a more experienced game developer. (Sorry for going on aha 😅) btw I didn’t mean to sound rude (sorry if I did :( ) I was just trying to explain the situation :)
Y'all remember when he made minecraft in about twice that time? That's r8ght, progress!

Isn't this just a movie tho?
why doesnt this have more likes or maybe it will have alot more likes
I opened this vid just to make that joke LMFAO
This looks dope as shit. Up it to like 30 levels, put in a level editor, and I'd throw $15 at it on Xbox.
this would also be cool on nintendo switch imo!!
I say it’d work well on mobile
You'd really spend $15 on a simple generic game that took less than 2 days to make and would (or rather should) be practically free on the app store? And to play it on your console? Yikes.
@@fog1 why the fuck not?
@@fog1 What you would be paying for is less the core mechanics of the game but the actual levels, the level editor and all levels from other people that you would be able to download and play
Congrats for making it in the video (kinda)
I wish he’d add a creator mode to this so you could build anything using that engine.
Edit: OMG 1.7k likes, that’s more likes than all my other comments put together!
@•【Obnoxious】 グレー Void • maybe not for the game jam?

That'd be really cool! That'd be like Conway's game where you can make stuff. (What i mean is that you can create cool animations or machines or a glider thing)

AI Simulations: Allow me to introduce myself.
the ais are players.
Being able to create your own levels and submit them for other people to play on this game could be a cool addition
Look up cell machine mystic mod, it's a rewrite of the game that does that and much more
Idea, (I know the competition is already over but hear me out): A Sandbox mode for the players to create levels or just play around a little bit with the game.
Elrohir yes yes yes
Thats genius
That actually exists (it's by smartfridgegamer) but it still doesnt give you THAT much space. Enough to make a very basic calculator though
Imagine coding your own levels.
You can use pre-built items, or code your own.

He should add an option to change it like other games
Here’s a tip:
If you put the pixels randomly, the block will look rough as sandpaper.
If you put it in a ‘linear’ line so to speak, it will look smooth.
