CC-001 - Four Emoji Challenge

Post by Sirocco »

Welcome to the first GDR Community Challenge for 2021.

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

RULES

1. GO HERE. 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 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. Challenge ends in one month. So April 13th for teh slow.





EXAMPLE:

With this, I might make a dating sim minigame where I have to text a dragon funny messages until it loves me. Or else I get cooked by its fiery breath. Or I might make a one-screen shooter where I throw phones at a dragon to collect hearts, while avoiding fire blasts.

Okay, I'm officially going with this one:

I'm not 100% certain what I'm doing, but that's part of the challenge, I guess ;)
I've been doing some experiments with Raylib, so I guess this is a good opportunity to put it through its paces and see if I come out the other end still liking it.

Syn9 has already made great progress on his entry. He rolled the following nonsense:

and passed on the following screenshot. He has pathfinding already set up, and collision detection with the chickens, who are decidedly not friendly. A status bar up top tracks your inventory of nuts, and how much ice cream you've won from finishing levels.

Not sure yet about actually making anything but after the brainstorming session on Discord, my mind is kinda stuck on the "octopus mail-center mail sorting game against the clock". Each tentacle will have to be controlled separately to make a good mess.

Anything with tentacles gets an automatic vote from me. Get in there and get weird!

My entry is complete; I'm holding it back a little bit for polishing, and this is a great excuse to continue playing with Raylib. This challenge generated a lot of interest over at the Discord channel. Hopefully we can keep that creativity alive and drag more people into the mix, like a giant Katamari ball of insanity :D

Basically done. I'll probably do some last-minute tweaking tomorrow on the scoring and time limit.

A few people are jumping in at the last minute. I'm eager to see what they can pull together.
