I made a terrible idle clicker game when unity screwed it's users and Godot got a massive rise in popularity. Did it just to see how Godot works.

The game has no art and no saving system. Still had fun poking around with Godot.

It was called MCK. It was "minecraft but 2d and the blocks and player character are made of text" and the world was only 100x100 blocks

I made it ~13years ago

I made a clone of Drug Wars in BASIC on the Commodore 64 in...1993? 94? Thereabouts. I have the floppy but no drive that can read a 5¼ disk. I taught myself to type on that beast and then I taught myself BASIC from the book that came with the (used) system when we bought it.

My second game was a text adventure in BASIC that used GOSUB to spawn mobs, heavily inspired by the MUDs I had just started getting access to by taking a course on using the Internet at the local college. I never finished it, because then we got a Win '95 box and with it Heroes of Might and Magic.

My next several dozen games were made using ZZT, with one or two browser-based mixed-text-and-image adventures thrown in as I was also learning webdev.

Oh wait! No, my first couple games were made on Hypercard in the 1992-3 schoolyear when I first tested into the gifted program and started getting consistent weekly access to a computer lab.

Anyway, that brings me through the end of highschool, and in college I learned so many more languages but also had a lot less time for game dev.

That was over 40 years ago. It was called "Water Carrier". It created a random labyrinth with an entry on the left and an exit on the right, and a number of puddles in it. You could not cross the puddles, but had to "pick them up" with your bucket. Of course, only one puddle fit in that bucket, so you had to empty it at the entrance in order to scoop up the next puddle on your way to the exit. For scoring, it counted the number of steps one needed to get through.

The labyrinth was one of the algorithmic challenges I had as a kid. There was no internet to look up algorithms like that, and the local libraries had no computer related books. So I invented the algorithm myself. Same with sorting, for the "high scores", which were actually "low scores", the less steps you needed, the better. For that, I "invented" what I many years later learned was Bubble Sort.

And sorry, no link to it 😉

How much "video game"? My first was a guess the number game with knights jousting, you got left/right/up/down hints for the point on his shield. This was on TRS-80 Model I, summer 1979.

Actually moving "sprites" (character graphics blocks) around the screen, Jetfire was my space shooter not QUITE like Defender because I had no ground, late 1980?

No copies of either survive, they would've been on cassettes lost/wiped long ago, a few copies of Jetfire were made for others.

I've done a lot more since, of course.

Sehr erfreuliche Nachricht, Danke! 🙏

Fahre seit 2017 #EAuto & wir sind auch als Familie superzufrieden. Kein Cent mehr an #Putin , die Revolutionsgarden des #Iran & Co.! Erneuerbare Energien sind #Friedensenergien & stärken die regionalen Volkswirtschaften, sind #Wohlstandsenergien. Über diese Entscheidung des Bundes gegen den #Fossilismus freue ich mich. energiewinde.orsted.de/koepfe-…

„Erneuerbare sind Friedensenergien“

Öl und Gas sind ein Segen für kleine Eliten. Doch die Mehrheit in vielen Ölstaaten leidet darunter, sagt Michael Blume.

Wurde das Verteidigungsministerium nicht in Kriegsministerium umbenannt?
