MakeCode Man VS the nefarious Captain Scratcher!
hear me out make he scratch cat very poorly drawn for comedic effect trust it will be so fire
Why he kinda remind me of ristar but with a chest (also why not use any other colors?
What if we took an image like this:
// simple smilley face
img`
f f f f f f
f 1 f f 1 f
f f f f f f
f 1 f f 1 f
f f 1 1 f f
f f f f f f
`
but as:
let img = `
f f f f f f
f 1 f f 1 f
f f f f f f
f 1 f f 1 f
f f 1 1 f f
f f f f f f
` // not an image
let w = 6 // width of image
then created:
function toImage(str: string, w: number) {
let s = str.split(" ").join("").split("\n").join("") // remove whitespace
let img = image.create(w, (s.length / w) | 0)
let x = 0, y = 0
for (let i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
img.setPixel(x, y, parseInt(s.charAt(i), 16))
if (++x == w) { x = 0; y++ } // update x and y
}
return img
}
It would result in:
function toImage(str: string, w: number) {
let s = str.split(" ").join("").split("\n").join("") // remove whitespace
let img = image.create(w, (s.length / w) | 0)
let x = 0, y = 0
for (let i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
img.setPixel(x, y, parseInt(s.charAt(i), 16))
if (++x == w) { x = 0; y++ } // update x and y
}
return img
}
// not an image!
let i = `
f 4 4 4 4 f
4 1 4 4 1 4
4 4 4 4 4 4
4 1 4 4 1 4
4 4 1 1 4 4
f 4 4 4 4 f
`
let w = 6 // width of image
let s = sprites.create(toImage(i, w))
As you can see, I have not created an asset. all I have is a string of hex values that happens to look like an image. I put it through the convertor, and I get an image with no assets!
This is why:
Cause of the restriction
idk why but i sawa video pop up on my feed and the title was " i made a game with no sprites!" and the thumbnail had an arrow saying “everything is math.sin!”
i havnt watched it tho
I watches it it was so fire also it was sine waves
I’ve seen that pop up on mine too
Ok but like, only 3 colors? Why not add a white or dark yellow?
Because smaller palette Is better palette
Also what happened to ur logo the ss dissapeared
@CopySprite do fancy text and text sprite assets count as sprites?
That video is great, I recommend it! Plus I just like anything with Fourier transforms in them 
Cause my presidential poster had eyes, and this is cuter, and SS also meant something really bad…
Ah it’s probably fine
Anything that appears in the asset section counts as an asset.
I thought it meant ScriptScaper.
every time I look at your game art for this game jam I think “I could do that” and each time I am reminded how bad I am at pixel art 
Oof. i thought the SS meant javascript. i think im blind. and deaf and all of the above
