I made a gameplay video of purple turtle

Its a commodore video game from 1983. Purple turtle was not that hard to play. I don’t know if I would play it for hours on end. But, its playable.

I saw this game in an internet archive newsletter. So I thought why not play it. I pressed the spacebar to start the game. I used the A and D keys to move. I found the music annoying. It reminds me of pitfall. I am much better at this game than pitfall. I had no clue how to play pitfall. I can at least make it across the water in this game. Since I last made a gameplay video I started making video games with godot. Today I am going to start making a tic tac toe game in godot. I saw a video about the difficulty of making different genres of video games. And it said that a tic tac toe video game is not that hard to make. Its fun making video games. Though its frustrating because I am not that good at making them yet. I wish I could make a game like retro bowl. But, I probably will not be able to make a game like that for years. Its also fun using blender again. I can’t wait to make cars in blender. I like the new blender interface a lot better than the old one. Thanks for watching.

I want to grow kiwi

Years ago we had a male and a female kiwi. I think the female plant died. The male plant stayed alive for a few years but, never got big. So I want to try to grow kiwi again.

I am not even sure if I like the fruit. The fruit does look tasty. So I probably would like it.

I can’t believe it only takes a minute to make a pillow in blender

So I saw this blender tutorial in the blender nation news letter and I had to try it because it’s only a minute long.

So I tired it. It took me longer than a minute to make a pillow but, I made it. The only problem is that I could not figure out how to work the brush in sculpt mode. I have never used sculpt mode before.

Or it could be that the computer I am using is to slow to be about to use sculp mode. Anyway I made a pillow.

I keep my blender and godot projects

in zipped folders online. Today I went to unzip awesome platformer and unzip could not unzip the folder correctly. And when I tried to run the game in godot it would not open level one.

I thought oh, no I am going to have to start the project from scratch. But, I tried one last thing. I opened the zipped folder in godot and what do you know the game worked. So everything is fine now. What a relief

I thought all that work gone. I am lucky I don’t have to remake the game from scratch.

I won another extreme difficulty reto bowl game

I was playing as New York. Green New York that is. And I won the game 10-3. On my final play on offense my running back broke through the defensive line and about 10 yards down field and my opponent recovered. They had one last play but, did not score.

Its thrilling to get a win on retro bowl extreme difficulty. When I first started playing on extreme I did not even come close to winning a game. The speed of the opposing players is so fast because they are all 5 star. So fun. I like it when the defense dives and misses my player completely.

I woman another retro bowl game on extreme

I was playing as Detroit. I won the game 16-6. I don’t remember how many games I have lost on extreme. Probably hundreds of games.

I don’t know the best position to draft for. I drafted a 4 star running back once but, it he did not seem to do any better than the running back I had before. I probably needed better offensive linemen to let the running back show his skills.

I did draft a quarterback and I seemed to be able to move the ball better.

I used to always draft a Tight end. Now I like to draft wide receivers instead so I can practice throwing to them. Since I know I can throw to a tight end.

I think I am getting better at being able to throw the ball to wide receivers. Now I tried to spread the ball around instead of throwing so much to the running back out of the backfield.

I wanted to post every day this year

I have not met that goal. At least I am posting more though. I don’t think anyone cares if I post it all. So I write on this blog because I like to write. So I will try to keep posting as much as I can.

I am working on a platform video game in godot

I am following along from a tutorial to make the game. One thing that surprised me is that I used tiles to the ground. I had no idea that that is how some video games were made.

I suppose I thought that you loaded one big image of the ground into the game. I was wrong.

Working in godot is fun. I can’t wait to one day be able to design and make my own games.
