Hi blus,

Sure! (assuming that it's ok under the game jam rules). Spoiler alert: solutions to the quest are obviously in the source code, so peek if you get stuck :)

Cheers!

Thanks @Adrain

Wait a sec... you had the nerve to post a measly 100 LOC in the mighty History MAKING QB64 JAM!?

Must be some 100 LOC! can't wait to check out, thanks again, this should be easy ;)

[bplus]

Dang, frustrated too quick,

Yeah, this could take some time to get through... nice

Fortunately I did not look ahead,

Being the crappy reader I am, I answer Man to the Sphinx because that is the riddle of it but no, we are more clever than that read again...

Then I answered, a coder, to same quest-i-on, seemed the perfect answer to me. LOL

but no,

@Adrian  Can I get credit for a nice try?

HI
the three games posted are  a good example of how QB64 can be used to build a game in different genres.

Thanks to Ahuang I have played the first time to an adventure text game
Thanks to 191Brian I have played flying in the sky
Thanks to FrozenFireBird I have enjoyed to play to puzzle game

for this time my contribution has been to subscribe the run. (So many ideas and so few lines of code...)
It will be for the next time!

Who else would be interested in participating in a future QB64 game jam? I sat this first one out but would be interested in joining one later.
I think 7-10 day duration for a game jam is pretty reasonable. Makes it much easier for those of us that still have our day jobs to attend to.

[191Brian]

Hi

Was great fun to get involved in the Game Jam and the feedback has encouraged me to keep going and do more and hopefully improved programming.

Thanks to all involved in setting up the Game Jam and all those that took time try out the games and comment & rate them.
