CC-013 - 4x4x4 Challenge February 2025

[Sirocco]

LET US PIXEL TOGETHER

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use the emoji generator to make a mini/micro-game based off of 4 randomly generated emoji.

RULES

1. GO HERE.
SELECT "Regular 4x4x4" from the dropdown
Generate 4 emoji until something makes sense. The goal is to get weird so don't just sit there and reroll until you can make Mario.

2. Make a mini/micro-game using the 4 emoji as your theme.
3. All targets are allowed. All libraries/engines are allowed. Get out there and get shit done.
4. Reusing code and assets is highly encouraged. Build on your successes and make your life easier.
5. Challenge starts February 01, and ends in approximately one month (March 02 is final day).




EXAMPLE:




With this, I might make a game where people compete within a high-rise to swap apartments as fast as possible, or maybe have two moving services competing to move furniture between apartments within a time window.

I ended up making a little strategy game inspired by Age of Empires and Civ 1. Also posted it to Itch shortly after the end of the month. Still slowly adding features on it, but it's completely playable and winnable.

Download includes Tentacode compiler which JIT compiles the game from included source on launch.

~90% of the code was made during the jam month. I borrowed my map generator from a previous project to bootstrap this one.
