The Level Editor for "Escape from the Metaverse" will be included with the release of the Extended Edition tomorrow after the #Craptastic2024 4k C64 Game Jam ends!

The editor is unique in that is just a text editor for source code with a level visualizer and syntax hints!

The editor uses ImGui::InputTextMultiline() from Dear ImGui, and it feels just like any other code editor.

Quest'anno si partecipa alla reset64 game competition. Allo stato attuale ho una versione che si mantiente sotto il limite dei 4kilobytes ma manca di diverse cose. Però con solo 4kb a disposizione non si può avere tutto :) #c64 #Craptastic2024 #retrogaming

Posted about my #Craptastic2024 #Commodore64 4kb game jam entry that will be complete on September 1st!

"“Craptastic” implies some kind of crappyness. I’ve picked what that means for this game! The second pillar is that players should feel that the game is unfairly designed, but never impossible. Basically players might hate playing the game but always feel they can do better."

I spent the day testing and refining the difficulty curve of a #c64 game for the Reset64 #Craptastic2024 4k competition, 4089 bytes. I'm pretty sure it's done now. It’s a tribute to one of the first games I owned for the Vic-20. Releasing at the end of August. #commodore64
