Häckerspiele

This is a microgame collection developed with the Godot Engine. The microgames are made by participants in a game jam during the GPN23.

Adding a new microgame

To add a new micogame, follow these steps:

1. Fork this repository.
2. Create a new directory for your game in microgames/.
3. Create your game. The script of the main scene should extend the MicroGame class and send the finished signal to indicate a win or a loss. When the time is up, the on_timeout function will be called. By default, it will return Result.Loss, but this behaviour can be overwritten. You can also adjust the default time by editing the time export var.
4. Add your main scene to the scenes array in microgames/microgames.gd.
5. Open a PR with your changes.

For an example, take a look at microgames/hello/.

⚠️ Important Note: Only use the pre-defined actions left, right, up, down and submit for input methods! This way the game is playable with only keyboard or only game pad.

The MicroGame class

The MicroGame class provides the interface for a microgame.

• signal finished

  This signal must be emitted on a win (finished.emit(Result.Win))) or loss (finished.emit(Result.Loss))). Only the first signal emitted will be considered.

• func timeout

  This function is called, when the timer expires. By default, it returns Result.Loss (i.e. you loose if the time ri). You can overwrite this behaviour, for example to check a condition on timeout.

• @export var time

  The default time for your microgame. This time will get scaled down the more microgames you complete (currently to a maximum of 0.4). Since this is an export var, it should be changed in your main scene via the properties editor.

• storage

  A dictionary that is persistent per run (i.e. it will be reset when you're at the scoreboard). For example, it can be used to track how often your microgame was played in the current run.
