Tales from the TinkerShed

Okay. I know this isn’t particularly flex, but I want y’all to take a look at this game I made:

Personally, I think it’s great for two reasons:

An excellent (but WIP) remake of Jetpack Joyride
The text selection system is INSANE. Go into the UI and click on the Fade In object’s behaviors, and then go into the Menu bundle. Prepare to have your mind blown.

I’ve been working with text selects for a while, now. Personally I think it’s easier than using buttons because it minimalizes lag and creates less clutter (to a point)

Getting Jetpack Joyride vibes lol.

I wonder why

The Flowlab Trello lists Vectors as a Sprite Editor Suggestion that Grazer might consider
Could this mean we could draw lines on screen? That could be used for all sorts of cool visual effects.

Not by Tinkersmith, but very tinkery related.
Here is a PointToLine bundle.

Using 2 points and an angle, you can create a line and measure the distance to the line.

Just to keep track of my own stuff, my entry to the 2022 Flowjam.

Had not much time, but didn’t want to miss the opportunity to at least submit something

For the curious ones, here are all levels:

Creating them took me nearly as much time as the game itself, HAHA

Live Long and Tinker

This is fantastic - it definitely doesn’t feel like a quick, last-minute project

This looks intense lol I liked playing through it though! Not many games lately make have to actually think about what I’m doing, especially on Flowlab. Really nice work:D

Dang, now I have to make more levels, LOL

Nice, I love how deceptively complex it is; this is the sort of game Flowlab needs more of…

MrMcMemerMan · January 17, 2022, 2:01am

This game’s really fun, a great can’t-put-it-down game

@TinkerSmith, just curious, since baconcat made the music and he usually uses the jummbox program, did he ever give you a link for that music on jummbox? If so, i NEED that because this soundtrack is flippin amazing and i want to pull some ideas i can use for my future projects, and no that doesn’t mean imma steal the song, silly

TinkerSmith · January 20, 2022, 9:08pm

Yes, he made it on Jummbox.
Had to ask first, but he’s cool to share

TinkerSmith · January 20, 2022, 9:13pm

And yes, it is amazing, just love it. So catchy

I want to play Undertale right now lol

DraftyScienceCoat75 has been messing around with some 3D shenanigans, they actually got in game objects working, it’s pretty impressive.

John_Shrekinson · February 18, 2022, 3:05pm

And you got a DooM mod working, amazing
