Introducing Game SFX/Soundtracks!

Please if you want to suggest in the comments any soundtrack or better sfx, please let me know

Introducing 2048!

It was pretty simple really, with still some of the code being taken by snake and tetris. By the way I was trying to loose and I have reached 256 lmao

Changelog

• games(2048): remove pause since it’s a blocking game
• games: add 2048

Introducing Tetris!

Rock Paper Scissors was boring af and honestly was just a test subject that should’ve been replaced since long ago.

To speed up development, I’ve recycled code from snake.
Btw sorry for long gameplay lol, it was really fun to play

Changelog

• games: add tetris
• games: remove rock paper scissors

Improved UI and decorations, with customizable colors too!

Yeah it looked kind of ugly before and I kinda regret shipping it before, so I have decided to rewrite and improve the general UI with some more decorations and colors customizations!

Things you can notice in the video:

• The main menu has a colored logo and tagline below it, with also a thin separator line. Also now the selections have a marked yellow color for more accessibility. also a version watermark in bottom-right corner.
• The settings now have the option to edit the classic terminal colors across the program
• The items in the games menu now have their own distinct color, along side a small description of the game underneat them.

added setting menu scrolling for window sizes that are too small

Changelog

• add settings menu scrolling + other stuff
• wordle: correctly handle duplicate letters in get_states
• games: rewrite static variable/functions to class members
• workflow: use ubuntu-22.04 for better compatibility

Added snake game, with a new UTF-8 (optional) style

I have decided to change a bit the gaming style to support UTF-8 characters along side ASCII (normal) ones, instead of setting a big and almost no colors. I’ll update the “Rock Paper Scissors vs CPU” and “Tic-Tac-Toe” games soon.

Thanks to claude for making the apple spawn in a proximated near position instead of far away like my code did

Changelog

• settings: make utf8 gameplay optional + add some other snake settings
• introduce snake
• screw iostream
• workflow: refactor
• chore: use TB_KEY_ESC (same thing as 27)
• settings: add general settings with custom assets path
• render: improve dynamical position rendering for all items

Shipped first bug fix release!

Changelog

• refactor render logic
• Release v0.1.0
• introduce settings
• silence some warnings
• Update README.md

Introduce settings

finalized wordle game (sorry for non-centered recording)

Changelog

• make every scene/game render() blocking by default
• finalize wordle
• fix colors on windows and wordle
• release beta2

implementing wordle, still needs to add scores and errors and such

cliboy has been ultra debloated

we did it

I see….. rewritting from scratch by hand without AI fixed the issue….. Imma removethe AI usage tag soon maybe
(yes I know the blue thing, fixing it)

wanna be honest, the hours I have logged in this devlog has been just a waste of time for trying to rewritte the TerminalDisplay API (the one that is used for rendering fonts, texts and colors) from notcurses to termbox2.h, which it was giving MASSIVE issues when trying to set a terminal font. No amount of usage from ChatGPT, v0.app and deepseek has helped me at all.

this meme summarizes what I did in this hour.
I’m sorry windows users but I’ve gone through hell with cmd.exe

Refactored codebase to be more modular and easier to add games

time to get back to work on this
