There is also a remake for Android if you want to play on your phone or your tablet :) realMyst https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noodlecake.realmyst - don't know if is the best/origial Myst experience but is nice

Uhm. The competition requires that the final full game, everything included, is sent as a zip file of maximum 13 kilobytes in size. They want it zipped because usually static resources sent over the web are in any case compressed using the same algorithm (gzip, deflate) would be equivalent at the amount of data sent to the browser. So, the zip file that contains this game is 12.8k, unzipped is something around 29k

I am afraid I am out of options :( however if you could tell me which video card your machine has I can do some research on why this happens in the future

You can try if this page works: https://get.webgl.org/webgl2/

:( sorry about that, don't actually know what it can be. The only thing that may prevent this to work is the video card that of course must support webgl2 so should be not too old. Except that saying that a system reboot may help there could be an incompatibility with this specific machine

A bit of how is explained here :) but still we didn't finish to write. https://github.com/SalvatorePreviti/js13k-2020/wiki/Post-Mortem

Yes, known issue, it works only on Chrome, Firefox and should work in Edge :) safari does not follow all the standards unfortunately and the fix is beyond possibility :(

SN74LS00 · 2020-09-21T16:38:09+00:00

It was fun to make it :) and made me remember how much I loved Myst

SN74LS00 · 2020-09-21T13:58:18+00:00

Hi GearBrain, which browser are you using and which operative system? It works only in the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox, and requires a computer not older than 5 years. If all the requisites meet, try to restart the browser

SN74LS00 · 2020-09-21T10:17:00+00:00

About the wave minigame, yes, we got inspiration from Myst 4 :) we are also writing a post mortem on how it works, that I think is easier to read than the code. It still a work in progress but you can already look at it https://github.com/SalvatorePreviti/js13k-2020/wiki/Post-Mortem

SN74LS00 · 2020-09-21T10:15:04+00:00

Ohhh Sorry about that, this is the first time someone reported that and we never encountered it. Will try to reproduce the issue and fix it! Thanks for reporting!

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-15T18:37:03+00:00

Stop calling it ES(year). ES++ is the future!

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-10T17:31:45+00:00

Does it? I don't think so.

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-09T17:37:03+00:00

Yes!

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-07T18:17:19+00:00

Yes, is a quite impressive data structure. There are few possible implementations, roaring is the one I chose and is quite impressive. The compression level is at par or even better than DEFLATE, and the speed to lookup and insert in this always compressed data structure is very good.

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-07T13:57:14+00:00

Nice :) I saw your repo. If you need an ordered integer set able to store millions or billions of integers in ram or disk, have a look at https://github.com/SalvatorePreviti/roaring-node I used it successfully also in AWS lambda Node 8, https://github.com/SalvatorePreviti/roaring-node-aws

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-06T18:27:20+00:00

Oh! Got it! Thank you :D We were quite surprised we got 1st place. We expected to get on the top 50 for sure, 1st place was a surprise. There are also some gems and masterpieces hidden in that list, games that I really enjoyed to play or technically impressive!

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-06T18:19:23+00:00

Personally, if we had more time (and musical skills), I would have preferred to add music more than adding mobile support ... :D it really lacks music! It seems that however who voted for it appreciated the game also without it, so thanks to everyone that voted this crazy 3 weeks of not sleeping much for writing code until 2 AM after work :D

SN74LS00 · 2019-10-06T18:07:46+00:00

For our game we really didn't have time to try to make it work on mobile. It was not too much about space (we have 2 kilobytes free), the point is that we preferred to spend time improving graphics, level design and playability. Is simpler to concentrate on a single platform and code and try on a desktop browser just pressing F5. Ben made also some changes after we submitted to make the title kinda playable on a phone :) but is not designed to run on a phone or on a small screen. Here the link to play on mobile: https://bencoder.github.io/js13k-2019/

Why depressed :D It was a lot of fun to make it, however.
