DDR0·Aug 17, 2014
Open Pixel Platformer: https://github.com/DDR0/open_pixel_platformer A sample game using a custom engine. However, the organizer, Hapiel iirc, got busy. I got busy and couldn't take over, but it had some nice support from the artists at Pixel Joint, and I'd be willing to continue implementation work on it. I don't feel I have the time at the moment to organize it, though. Currently, you can walk around, and ctrl-e gets you an editor. Editabled, the editable pixel editor: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/138485812/editabled/full... (live demo) Broken on chrome, because they effed around with web workers. So I need to look at that. It's basically a JS-based rendering engine. If you look closely, you'll note the lines you draw aren't antiailiased, which lines drawn with the canvas2d API are. Fast compositing engine using typed arrays. Asy

nc rendering using Web Workers. Infinite canvas, you can scroll with the arrow keys and no matter how large it gets it never seems to slow down. ^_^ Potential, might have the time to pick it up again, but that was before I was properly employed. Very technical atm, but I might get back around to it in a bit. :/ That's about it here. There's also http://ddr0.github.io/cube%20trains/index.html, my attempt at an indie game, which is downloadable from Github. I am no marketer, so I only sold a handful of units. (ie, I can count sales on one hand) Also available on http://ddr.itch.io/cube-trains. There's more potential here, and I think it's pretty easy to extend. The game comes with an editor, so you can make and share your own maps. Sort of cute, really pushing my graphics abilities, and ended up with it's own pathing algorithm which I never did add the people for. It was scheduled for v2, but I was pretty tired of the project by then. Eh, hardly an impressive folder compared to some of this stuff (nanopond), but oh well.
