RUNOUW.COM GAME JAM - THEME: ONE BUTTON ONLY

[Yoshi Boo 118]

Yep. Here we go. Also, good luck to all the participants! I'm expecting great games to be made by you guys.

Lol I don't barely know how stencil works. So if I end up not making One, it's cause I suck at programming.

Right.. great games when you can only use one button.

Canabalt

just sayin'

I was just playing that.. then I read your post.




How restrictive are we in terms of One button? Say if you're using the mouse as your button, could you use it to click different things, or just click to do a certain action?

[Suyo]

Moving the mouse is not a button, so you can also click on things. If you wanted, you could make a point'n'click adventure. Time's pretty short for such a thing, though.

Yes, these are counted one-button-only. I'm going after the rules of a Mini-Ludum Dare, where this was a requirement some months ago.

If you really do KCC, KMA or WWT in 72 hours you win the internet

now that i know i can use the mouse i'm going to be able to make the game a little more interesting.

I don't want to do this, but I have to drop out. It was a dumb idea for me to try to get used to a program like Stencyl and make a good game in three days. Sorry guys. :/

First screen: Press space to move forward.
Second screen: Press space to go up, let go to come down to avoid whatever. <-- My first idea but yeah, that idea is good.

etc
etc

XD I also picked the keyboard, I planned that I should use the "Up" button only.

Main Menu: Press the Up button to press a button at the right time.
Main Game: It's a secret!
Others: Also secret!

Also Suyo, I'm getting a feeling that not all of us is getting done on this day. Can you make an extension?
