My first sandbox

by matrin

I’m a little late with my final post. I finished early yesterday, I didn’t know what to do with my sandbox program. I went for a swim, thinking I might get a good idea, sadly that wasn’t the case. So this morning I decided to post this unfinished game area thingy.

linux build

windows build

source

The linux build need SDL and SDL_image libraries.

I tried making a windows build, but I only tested it in wine, so I am not sure it will work.

The source is all in one file, only ~500 line of code.

Maybe make a sand castle or two and post the pictures.

Tools: SDL

Cool ideas. This game is begging for simple water mechanics and puzzle game level design (dams, ‘save the town’, whatever).

Still fun to make sandcastles!

I like how the button with a picture of a house on it is actually the “quit game” button. Made me feel like I was coming home from a day of playing.

ah, it works well.

though, at some point, the icon reversed itself for me (when it was full and i clicked it would dig up sand).

the graphical style i like. generally, i like it, yep :)
