Brain Games Dev Thread

[DjVan]

Hello everyone!

So tvz asked me to post this topic in the Game Development section.
What are brain games?
They are small games that test your brain abilities(speed, memory, logic"problem solving", Attention and whatever is left! i can't remember )
What we will do is to make individual games and after a decent amount of games are made for all the categories above SOMEONE will combine them together
any kind of support is appreciated.

Games List : (the site which i uploaded to isn't working anymore, and i've lost the .ged files )
1- Memory: Memory Box by tvz 1.4Mb Download
2- Focus\Attention: Focus Pocus by tvz 0.7MB Download

Note:
- this project is lacking interest and developers right now, but i will continue working on it
till i have 8 games, group them and realese

Here's another game. It is memory type.
I call it Memory Box (you can change it). I made graphics simple (because i like simplicity) but you can edit them if you want.
Game - You click on boxes which were shown. If you do mistake, your current score decrease.

Great job!
i am getting motivated to do even more now.
and you are right simple graphics makes it easier for me and the user.
but not to the extent of your avatar

Hello

So i made a simple demo of menu.
It loads an ARRAY called highscore[100] and variable called Name from save files and then shows them.
At startup everything is loaded from all save files. After you select a game and click stats it shows the scores of the selected game on graph. Another program i created is createSav. It generates save files with random values in highscore and Name. I used save files created by it to test the menu.
All the games will store the score at the most recent empty place in the array(highscroe[100]). It array is fully filled and all the scores and moved to previous positions in the array. e.g. if highscore[10]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} is filled and user scores '11' in game then highscore={2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}, will be saved and 1 will be is deleted

The only problem is of storing images of games which are shown in menu.

The menu already showing different images to resemble the games.
if you mean where to get those games pictures we can just include them in the demo file right?
also i am bad with canvas actors, this score graphic can be useful to play around with..

Updates and double post!.. on my first game.
- score now is saved in an array from highscore[0] till highscore[99] then flip back to highscore[0]
- disabled the reset score thing
- added a button to redirect you to "Brain Games.idk" according to your version
- added the game thumbnail 200*100(png)
i tested the save file with the menu and found that the game name's long when displayed under the thumbnail so..
- shortened the name to Shapes.

hopefully this is the last edit for this game

Sorry for the inconvenience. But it is better to tell all this before you make more games, otherwise it would be very difficult to edit every part of every game. Make sure you use group saves only and save files as "saveGAMENUMBER.sav" (replace GAMENUMBER by the number occupied by the game in your list.)
You can edit anything ( layout, gui etc) in menu if you want to.

And it is "Brain Games.exe"

All of a sudden I pop out of nowhere with my crazy ideas.

I'm making some smallhuge actually changes to the menu's UI.
I'd show a gif of the one thing I've done but

this'll take a while
so the gif will come later

No problem.
I wasn't thinking about the game as a whole project but it's fixed now.

And it is "Brain Games.exe"

yeah.. actually in all of my games it's "Brain Games.exe", but i thought there will be other versions for Linbux and Mac

That background from black flag is awesome (It is my one of the favorite games:D) but it may cause copyright issue and it is too awesome for small games's menu.
If I find a way to read images from files(or directly from png, bmp) then I will make an option to customize menu.
Btw what is that font you used in corner

[MrJolteon]

Abstergo Sans Lite, also from Black Flag.

If you have a non-copyrighted background that isn't just a flat color, please show me it. It has to be at least 800 pixels wide.

I dont have a good bg but if you do, then you should use it and also show us (a screenshot is enough).

That background could really flip my brain, seems good for the game. Good luck for the development.
