Gemini-based Game Idea

Posted on Wednesday May 19, 2021

2D grid-based tile-digging treasure hunt (roguelike?) for Gemini

• The player opens the main page, is presented with an '@' in field of solid block characters
• The player can click links to move their piece in different directions
• Moving onto an unrevealed tile "tunnels into" it, possibly revealing some item that was "buried" there
• The world is persistent and singular; you can come across other players' pieces and tunnels

• Possible leave messages for other players?
• Scoring system for finding certain items?
• Single-use items that can be used to interact with the world in different ways (x-ray vision, bombs that clear wider areas, etc.)

Did you ever start building something like this?

[2022-09-01 19:33:40] panda-roux (f39fa):

Yes I did, though I have since lost what little code there was. I was pleased with the resulting coordinates-based UI. You can see an example of it two log entries after this one (/log/entry/7)

Sweet, thanks! I am going to a remote place on an island tomorrow and was planning to a) read your log b) try out MoonGem. Had skimmed the titles, but seem to have missed that one. Looking forward!
