I've created a flatpak manifest for this game: https://gist.github.com/joshua-stone/a8fab26c64f4589baaef912cf34108e9 Upstream should eventually include desktop icons (PNG or SVG) as well as metainfo files, but this technically works for local builds.

I have not written a new game using the game engine. I have modified Marvellous Inc, Bytepath, Mari0 and Lady Bug which use the engine. If you want make a 2D game, it is a reasonable choice. I could put together a talk if you like.

Would this be something we could submit to flathub? https://github.com/flathub/flathub/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-a… I could help with packaging this if you want! - Josh On Sun, Mar 19, 2023, 1:04 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Per the post that Dennis made about his porting of Lady Bug using the LÖVE > framework, I started looking at it. > > It's pretty damn cool and it looks like the barrier to entry to making > simple games, etc. is really really low. > > I think it might be worth a talk. > > Tim. > > -- > I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their > constituents as "consumers". > _______________________________________________ > WLUG mailing list -- wlug(a)lists.wlug.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)lists.wlug.org > Create Account: https://wlug.mailman3.com/accounts/signup/ > Change Settings: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/postorius/lists/wlug.lists.wlug.org/ > Web Forum/Archive: > https://wlug.mailman3.com/hyperkitty/list/wlug@lists.wlug.org/message/YVGW5… >

Okay LÖVE is really cool.

by Tim Keller

Per the post that Dennis made about his porting of Lady Bug using the LÖVE framework, I started looking at it. It's pretty damn cool and it looks like the barrier to entry to making simple games, etc. is really really low. I think it might be worth a talk.

Re: Lady Beetle

by Tim Keller

My wife had a Coleco vision and Lady bug was one of the games they had for that system. My MIL once commented that she knew this was why she shouldn't play video games, apparently she sent the kids off to school, decided to play some lady bug and then the kids were coming in the door, she'd played it for hours. Very very cool. Tim. On Sat, Mar 18, 2023 at 10:35 PM Dennis Payne via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > I discovered a Love2D remake of Lady Bug.

Lady Beetle

by Dennis Payne

I discovered a Love2D remake of Lady Bug. I've never played the arcade game but it looked interesting. It is a maze chase game like Pac-Man but you have these turntiles through out the maze that you can move to alter the maze. The remake was well done but used sprites taken from the arcade game. I replaced all the graphics with new creations. I also modified the game to support two player simultaneous. I wrote up an Open Game Source article about the changes. http://identicalsoftware.com/games/ladybeetle -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi
