jbananaI haven't posted here for ages. And I don't really have anything to say now. Let's brain-dump some Thumby stuff.
Thumby is a ridiculously small game console and it's not too hard to make a homebrew game. So I made six. I recently finished an escape room game which needed a bunch of artwork. That's not my natural thing, but it's easier because it's tiny and it's monochrome. Here's a couple that I thought came out OK.
Piggy bank - rattles when shaken
Stopped clock
The code wasn't hard, except it got so big it wouldn't load. I had to move the images to a separate file and only load one at a time.
Thumby dev is nice because it's do-able by one person in a reasonable time. You submit it and it goes on the Thumby arcade. The escape room game is still waiting approval.
