The winners for Design Challenge #2 are in! I submitted a microgame, Zoom In, but it seems it didn’t make the cut. No big deal. I made it on my first day upon playing the game, and all of these are made by people who seem to have understood the engine inside and out. I submitted Parrot Top for Design Challenge #3 though. I hope it makes it, as I’ve since gotten better at making these. 1. “Marathon Day” from Leiden: This one is easy enough to understand and easy enough to win consistently. There are no glaring flaws in it, though it’s interesting to see a button that moves. Interesting attempt to make things dynamic. 2. “8-Bit Hockey” from Ché: A very weird variation on air hockey, with Mario bouncing a bubble with a Blooper. The Blooper is programmed to always get the ball on the first go and miss on the second. 3. “Penalty Kill” from Brandon: You can constantly click on the goalie to keep him defending the puck. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but there’s no way I can defend the goal for the entire length of the microgame otherwise. 4. “HOMERUN!!!!!” from Jalli: These are sprites taken from Super Mario RPG. Nice transcribing of those sprites to outside of its context, but the baseball can be difficult to see. 5. “Turtle Golf” from Lemmy: It took me a while to figure out what you were supposed to do here. It seems you click on where it says “FORE!” to swing the ball. I should crack this one open and see how the ball’s “Bounce” command works. 6. “USA Football …

There we go! At last, I’ve finished every microgame in the Pokémedley. All of them are taken from the Pokémon series. There are 4 microgames per generation, plus 1 for the anime and 1 for the card game, which makes a total of 18, or a full shelf. If you’re a Pokémon fan, you’ll recognize a good number of them. However, I also picked a few of the more obscure games as well, which you might not necessarily recognize. The way I approach microgames is to keep them simple, as they preserve the spirit of the microgame; and I want to make sure they would be understood without any prior knowledge. That is, none of these require more than two different steps (though you may have to do the same step a few times), and hopefully you should know what to do even if you don’t even know what Pokémon is. Something less obvious is that I avoid the use of buttons where not necessary. Only one microgame here uses buttons. I noticed an odd button addiction many microgame creators have, so I felt it’s worth bringing up. Distribution Schedule: May 30 to June 5: “Cut Time” and “Grave Matter” June 6 to June 8: “Pet Project” and “Ditto to You” June 9 to June 11: “Oh, Ship!” and “Puzzled Look” June 12 to June 14: “Presentation” and “Leap Day” June 15 to June 17: “Weakly Deal” and My Sweet Art” June 18 to June 20: “Spot Check” and “Fire Wood” June 21 to June 23: “Dig This” and “It Bugs Me” June 24 to June 26: “Primal Scene” and “Disc Drive” June 27 to June 29: “Cap Sizing” and “Energy Hold” These …
