]]>Samsara for Twitch is in review2018-07-16T00:00:00+00:002018-07-16T00:00:00+00:00https://yawnfish.github.io/samsara/2018/07/16/samsara-for-twitch-in-reviewAlthough I have an HTML5 version, porting to Twitch was a different challenge. First, it was hard for me to understand Twitch itself. :) Second, the development environment is insufficient and unstable. Last, there are many restrictions both client and server side.

Nevertheless, porting to Twitch Extension was a very good experience. Several Twitch technicians supported me in detail. Thanks to that guys, I could finish my job.

]]>1.6.4 version released!2018-06-30T00:00:00+00:002018-06-30T00:00:00+00:00https://yawnfish.github.io/jekyll/update/2018/06/30/version-1-6-4-released1.6.4 version for all platform except iOS is just released. It contains new Input System for 6x6 Infinite mode, Resource Optimization, Anti-alias for Desktop, Tutorial tunning, Match Checking indicator, etc.

Have fun with Samsara!

]]>Update for size optimization2018-06-27T00:00:00+00:002018-06-27T00:00:00+00:00https://yawnfish.github.io/jekyll/update/2018/06/27/update-for-optimizationBGM is the biggest part of resources. To reduce its size dramatically, I removed lobby, tutorial, and result screen BGM. By this, resource size is almost half.

If you still want to listen other BGM of Samsara, download iOS or Android version. The desktop version is also available. :)

It makes possible that game playing is super fast and simultaneous without any contradiction. But for the puzzle itself, traditional turn-based input system is preferred because users can make a complex combo by deep and logical thinking.

The 6x6 Infinite mode is designed not for ACTION but the PUZZLE itself. Drawcia, who is the world #1 6x6 player on Android, noticed me that current 6x6 Infinite mode’s input system is little confused. She designs a complex combo but not all this trying success because the ghost block doesn’t explode as expected occasionally. It’s because current input system for 6x6 Infinite mode is Action Mode.

In ACTION mode, you can input simultaneously, and it is kept by input buffer. Match checking process runs about LANDED tiles whenever a game state is not Idle. It is possible that dropping tiles have a different landing timing and it causes a failure of the combo.

So I changed 6x6 Infinite input system from ACTION to PUZZLE mode. In PUZZLE mode, user input is restricted as a turn-based and match checking process only performs at begin of Idle state.

Thanks to Drawcia. She tested and confirmed new input system. :)

Kotlin’s crosspiling is an awesome feature you should experience!

As I’ve been developing Samsara using libGDX that can publish a project for Android, iOS, Desktop, and HTML5, I thought to port for HTML5 is a piece of cake. When I started the work, I realized libGDX doesn’t support Kotlin for HTML5! Only support JAVA project.

After some research, I found Kotlin’s javascript crosspiling and kotlin-phaser project. Unfortunately, it seemed there’re no developers use kotlin-phaser, it looked risky. But hiperbou, developer of kotlin-phaser, had done to port every example of Phaser so that I could make a decision.

Thank you hiperbou. You’ve done a great work!
