Has anybody on this forum created a video game?

Just curious whether someone has successfully created (maybe even published) an indie game. Link if you have it up.

This is not what yer talkin' about but 30 years ago I wrote a program which creates random patterns of rectangles of random sizes, positions, tones, and colors. It still runs fun today. Fortunately I put a timer in there to slow it down.

I have created a few simple games. The most complex finished game project I did was a maze generator with an algorithm that finds the exit and a simple moving dot that you can move to the exit. There is no end, because I didn't bother with doing any opening and ending sequences. Walls are 1x1 sections randomly placed on a grid, until the further placement of the walls would make it impossible to get from A to B. Randomly generating dead ends was a bit of a pain, but I did it by placing hub points on the map and clearing and killing paths so that there are various ways with a degree of completion left without walls.

I created a choose your adventure game with C++.


It was pretty stupid but it was for the sake of testing the switch function.

You walk into the kitchen and see 3 object. A banana, a phone, and a ring. Which one do you pick up?

Yes, have created several. Am working on one with my kid presently, and have a friend who published one on iOS. He had two artists, himself and another programmer (his son, it was a family affair). A really nice, sophisticated game, unfortunately isn't making any money.

Yup, on mars, you need to find a rubber ducky to defeat the aliens that for some reason hate ducks. Also you are on a hover-board. Needless to say I was very young when I made this and it no longer exists.

I've made some small ones that aren't terribly exciting, and I'm working towards making something bigger/publishable.
