Many developers, many microgames!

Gamutoware is a collection of short, simple, and creative minigames built by many people. It was created by Gamux - a student collective focused on video game development, research, and culture - to teach students the fundamentals of the Godot game engine. Each year, a course is given and each student is tasked with creating a new minigame for Gamutoware. This is the repository used during the lessons.

Though development mostly happens at the start of the year, contributions, be they new minigames or improvements to the game's core, are accepted throughout the whole year. If you want to contribute, feel free to open a pull request. Reading the wiki may help you understand how the game works.

The slides (in Portuguese) used in the lectures given in 2023 can be found here.

gamutoware's Issues

New minigame loader creating new crashes

1 - Here, when we load a minigame pack on a single minigame

2 - Here, at the end of every jam session. I think this should be a > 1 rather than a >= 1

Implement Game Pause

Adaptive minigame selector

Some minigames are way harder than others. We want to create a system that dynamically updates the probability of a game being chosen based on its base difficulty value and the number of turns the player has played.

Let d_i be the base difficulty for the minigame i, d_{i, t} be the relative difficulty for the minigame i in the turn t, p_{i, t} be the probability of the minigame i being selected in the turn t and T be the max amount of turns before normalization, here's a possible implementation:

for each turn t:
  total = 0

  for each i:
    d_i,t = d_i + (1 - d_i) * min(t / T, 1)
    total += 1/d_i, t

  for each i:
    p_i,t = (1 / d_i,t) / total

Implementação de Modo em que você escolhe o Jogo

Imagino que depois de jogar vários jogos, as pessoas acabem tendo seus favoritos ou mais desafiadores. Por isso um modo em que a pessoa possa revisitar o jogo que ela quiser diretamente seria interessante.
Duas possíveis ideias são:

1. Um mosaico n x m que pode "scrolar" para baixo (ou ser tipo Friv pela nostalgia kk) que basta mover usando WASD e selecionando usando Space.
   Prós: Fácil localização e acesso de qualquer jogo.
   Contras: Possível poluição visual, uma vez que as capas não são padronizadas

2. Um carrossel idêntico aos outros modos, porém as setas A e D movem a fila e permitem que seja escolhido o jogo.
   Prós: Mantem a estética dos outros modos e podemos usar as setas WS para mudar o carrossel de acordo com o ano, assim facilitando achar o jogo.
   Contras: Certos jogos ficariam muito distantes do ponto 0 do carrossel e talvez seja difícil encontra-los

Decide and add a license for the project

As a suggestion there is the possibility to use GNU GPL v3.0

Game Freezes in Collection after Mouse Click

Whenever you play a game in the collection, after the animation, if you click on the screen the game freezes, allowing just the escape button to work. This doesn't happen when using just the keyboard, neither when you haven't played a game yet.

Allow for contribution to require a smaller download

As Gamutoware is made to be worked on on faculty computers, size is an important concern, especially since memory requirements increase along with minigame count. As Gamutoware is very modular, with each minigame being its own folder, it's easy for people to work on their projects without having access to all other ones. How can we change the contribution workflow to allow for that?

Update credits visuals

Gamutoware's credits look ugly! I was thinking of remaking them based on the learn section of another project I've worked on, maybe two column of icons on the left and a fold with the contents of the credits that would come out on the right

Typefixer no keys to fix

Sometimes typefixer chooses the same key multiple times and makes the game apparently unsolvable.

Unify Jam and Arcade modes into a single menu

The purpose of both these modes as different options in the title screen representing 2 different scenes results in problems in maintainability (as we have 2 distinct scenes with pretty much the same functionality and look) and usability (as people have no idea what these modes are at a glance). The proposed solution is to create a Play menu that will include minigame packs, filters, as well as modifiers. Arcade mode would be implemented as an infinite modifier.

Implement CI/CD for releases and Itch.io

Update font to allow for latin characters

Gamutoware's current font (StopBullying) doesn't allow for latin characters. This is an issue because Gamutoware's main language is portuguese. I propose we choose a new font that doesn't have that issue

Add audio muting options

Gamutoware's core divides sounds in sfx and music so they can be easily muted, but this isn't possible in minigames where we depend on each creator to configure their sounds. It would be nice to have a global muting option in the main menu

Mail Cleaner does not work properly with controllers

• Possible explanation is that triggering the same input for a side in sequence bugs the handler

Minigame loading enhancements

Minigame loading was optimized by loading all minigames at once when the game starts. As the amount of minigames grows, however, this is resulting in long waiting times and creating worries about eventual memory problems. To make it future proof, Gamutoware should have a system that loads minigames as they are needed on a separate thread

Minigame using message system

"projeto-badesf" displays messages on screen when registering wins and losses, that should not be happening.

Add shared resources folder

Add folder with assets of Gamuto so they can be used by any new minigames

Implements mute switch

Resolves #149

Recorde Null

No itch.io o record não é salvo, fica null.

Update filters

Create new filters and rename existing ones for more clarity, as a lot of people seemed to think the 13+ adds 13+ games to the mix

• 13+ -> No gore
• No luck : Removes luck based minigames

Added better visibility on the selection menu

The selection indicator button is the same color as the already selected sets of mini games, making it hard to see where you are.

Reimplement Soulchain

Soulchain minigame stopped working after conversion from Godot 3 to 4. It should eventually be reimplemented

Bug on Keyboard Password Minigame IFUV

Bug that crashes the minigame when pressing the delete button after a button has already been pressed.

Improve RNG for infinite mode

Currently the RNG makes it possible for the same game to appear multiple times in a row, shuffling a vector with all the games should improve this.

Game crashes on Whale game lose

Reimplement Whale Eater

Whale Eater minigame stopped working after conversion from Godot 3 to 4. It should eventually be reimplemented

Minigame improvement

A couple minigames feel very unfair in their current state. This issue is meant to compile these minigames and propose solutions to make them feel more fair

To start with, projeto-pluvinage is often impossible to beat depending on the bat spawn positions. I propose changing the number of bats from 2 to 1. I feel like taking all bats away would make it better, but I think this kind of change would take away from the creator's original vision

Implement a Play Again button

Currently, Gamutoware requires the player to go to the main menu in order to play another set of lives

The {Play Again} button would help diminish the time it would require for the player to play the next set

Jogos feitos com Assets de IA

Recentemente, fiz a implementação do jogo gamufit #199, porém todos os assets do jogo, e a musica foram gerados por IA. Nesses casos, como deveriamos fazer a implementação?
Remover o jogo / Criar uma tag (tipo gore) / Refazer todos os assets do jogo

frogger game camera not working proper after pr that fixes global camera
