I got one! How about we all try to make a game with NO IMPORTED GRAPHICS.
You must use only text/ASCII art and the built in drawing commands. It'll be fun! If you wanted to do any kind of collisions you might be doing a lot from scratch because no sprites are allowed.
Probably only Silver Creator and Game Maker. I can't use TNT Basic anymore and no one else really knows it so...
Any takers? Thoughts on how to improve upon this?

I might be able to do this after the 16th. Cause that's when I finish finals. Actually, I'm going to have a boatload of free time on Christmas break. :D
Perfect time for working on the HTML5 GameMaker!
-
Well whichever one you want to work on.* :)
I think I'm going to see what I can do with this right now cause it's a SNOW DAY! :D ...Or I could go call my friends and DO something. Wait, I know! I'll do both.
*hint: HTML5

Success!!
Man it feels so cool when you're tweaking things and then suddenly one of them actually makes it work! :D
-
Looks nice, what does it do?
-
It's just me barely starting with a new tile engine, but it only used paint commands. 0's are DRAWRECT, 1's are FILLRECT. It will update on it's own since painted shapes aren't persistent. I think I could have some fun with this style!
I can also make functions like DRAWPLAYER that make a pattern, that's my plan.
-
Sounds really awesome.
-
It's great! I don't have to use MOVESPRITE or anything because the canvas resets.
Plus I can make a size variable and change the size of grid squares. The levels can be fewer squares and larger tiles or vice versa depending on level size.
But first I must conquer the Silver Creator string commands. [smiley=what2.gif]

I just started a thread for my HTML5/Javascript maze generator. That might count since it's drawn entirely using rectangles and circles. http://charlo.gamemakersgarage.com/games/mazegen.php
The sokoban (*edit not sudoku*) thing looks cool, Connors! Hope you finish it. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
-
Thanks! And once again, I changed the name, because I meant to make it Sokoban. I don't know how I got the name mixed up. >.>

Snowball fight! :D
-
That gives me an idea. I've been developing a Scorched Earth clone in SC for a few weeks now. Perhaps I should make a winter version. The objective would be to bury your opponents in snow, rather than blow them up. Hmm...

This is waaay easier than drawing sprites... Yet it was really annoying. ^-^
But only because I had issues with replacing parts of strings and that would have come up anyways.
Check out the replacefield function I mean method it's useful.
The circle's controlled with the arrow keys!

Nice! Maybe Mike will put a replacefield function in the next beta, that's definitely useful.
Where is Mike anyway? :-?
