[GAME] Pick And Match
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2023 4:59 pm
Hi everyone!
I have just released my latest game: Pick And Match. It is yet another memory game but this time it comes with 12 levels and with different levels of difficulty.
Why waste my time on yet another memory game? I like memory games and as I had bought the assets, I wanted to use them.
Some technical info:
This is my first game which was compiled using PB v6.03. I had the plan to release it for the Raspberry Pi and also for the Mac, but I still ran into some small problems when trying to compile the code using the C backend. For this version I still used the Asm compiler. I also used DirectX on Windows.
I also ran into a problem I had never experienced before. Originally I wanted to use the font set: Luckiest Guy. Everything worked, but when I wanted to run the game on Linux (Ubuntu), I noticed that the special Hungarian characters (accents) are only partly visible. (The font set supports Hungarian.) I tried to run the code using the qt subsystem. It worked. The characters were visible, but the game just crashed while loading the assets. As I couldn’t solve the problem, I decided to go with a different font. It is displayed correctly. (I don’t think it is a problem with PB as I had the same problem using PB 5.73 and 6.03, the problem could be with the font.)
How to install
The game is available as an install package or as a zip archive. You can find a DirectX 9 and a DirectX 11 version. If you choose to install the game using the installer, the icon/shortcut will start the DirectX 9 version. Of course this can easily be changed.
The Linux version is also available as a tar.gz package. I compiled it on Ubuntu 22.04.

Have fun playing the game!
