I would be very curious to know your opinion. If any of you want to try it, feel free to tell me your experience and show me your creation. And of course, I’m really open to suggestions and improvement, the whole source code is editable online.
Thanks @tony !
I get the idea from another game I made using Processing.
The first application I had in mind was to run a creative workshop for kids in two steps. The first one is to draw, scan and play a game, and it works very well with both young and adult audience. The second would be to allow them to hack and modify the result and learn few basics about coding, but it is still in progress
I also like the idea that the project can be used by any developers to have a fun time creating a game very quickly.
I love making games with processing
I have an art school background and I started programming with creative coding, so Processing is the language I’m the most comfortable with.
Plus I like the fact that it’s not a language designed for video games, it push me to think creative and find my own solutions, without mentioning the open source aspect.
But I also use other engine for some projects as twine, unity or small tools like puzzlescript and flickgame.
Funny, I think I’m kind of the opposite - I’m majoring in CompSci, but have always been interested in art, and use Processing to bridge that gap. You make an interesting point about the fact that Processing is not explicitly designed to make games.
The website and the photo documentation is great. The concept is brilliant. If you don’t mind my references, it made me think of other tools, which you are probably likely familiar with but others may be interested in:
Most closely resembling your tool might be DungeonScript http://farbs.org/dungeonscript by Farbs, a 3d overlay on Increpare’s Puzzlescript https://www.puzzlescript.net/ engine. I like how yours requires no user coding to get started but could allow coding via altering the p5 script.
I was part of a workshop once to photograph objects, run a script and place those images wrapped around 3d blocks in Minecraft. I’ll have to see if we put that code online - but that’s the only other thing that’s as beginner-friendly that I’ve seen, that turns images into an instant game.
Incidentally, I couldn’t get the embedded game to work properly in my Chrome browser. Sound worked and i could tell i was walking around because of the noises from bumping into things, but the screen was mostly black. I opened the page in Firefox and things ran fine. Not sure what that bug might be from.
I appreciated your well-commented code. I’m excited to try this out further by drawing and scanning and running some games. Congrats on creating such a great project.
As you said my approach is slightly different, the working environment I built (the one on paper) is very friendly, even for the younger audience, but the goal is also to go play with the source code and eventually become familiar with p5. I wanted to run a workshop that shows the creative and fun potential of coding as well as proposing an entrance door to p5 and game dev.
I’m very curious about this workshop you mentioned. Do you have some pictures of it ?
By the way, is the bug still happening on your chrome browser ? If yes what are your configuration ?
Can’t wait to play a game you made with captainlee
Yeah, I’m still getting that error on Chrome. Using Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I turned off all extensions and tried again in Incognito Window mode.
Here are the console errors.
