Hope you enjoy it. download here win32 & mac(intel): http://sites.google.com/site/coffeedotbean/santas-workshop Updated 14/11/09.. now has mouse support and a how to play page... just a quick tutorial level to add and its job done.. at last =D Updated 15/11/09.. added tutorial level. coded 99.9999% done.  |

| Nice work... great to see someone having the Christmas Spirit! Too bad some sponsors can't fund a Christmas Competition. It was fun making Santa's Slay when I did... although it wasn't very wholesome LOL |
| ||
| The music crackles here on Windows 7. Apart from that though no other technical issues. Initially I clicked everywhere as I assumed it was all the mouse until I read the erm, instructions :) (don't think ive ever tried a sokoban game before). Found the 4th puzzle to be the toughest, the rest were more straight forward, but maybe it was just my brain getting more used to the puzzles. |

| 1. The music is here ok (windows 6.1 - default onboard sound) 2. Game design is very good. Keep it simple!! 3. Graphical themes are needed. 4. I miss a good story mode. Write a little story and part it up into levels via message boxes. 5. go to a publisher 6. sell it. 7. buy ya christmas tree (or slay one) ^^ edit: a new game idea? "christmas tree slayer"? hm... "saw - christmas edition"? ^^ |

| Thanks for the comments guys. @ shadow turtle - too late to add a story mode, but TBH I cannot see how I could of added it to the current design, I guess if I started from scratch I could add a map with huts and a player could choose which hut to go to and play the puzzles there etc. .. maybe next time =D @ Rigz - I have changed the audio driver in the new build, could you try that when you have time? thanks. @ Skully - HoHo! Merry christmas. I have updated the link in the original post to a new build - added full mouse control - added how to play pages - few minor niggles fixed was worried about the sound crackle on Win 7 so changed the auto driver.. cookies to whom ever can test this on Vista and windows 7. |
| ||
| Crackling gone now, sounds fine. Like the mouse controls too. |
| ||
| Sound crackles alot on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, realtek hd audio all updated to latest. |
| ||
| Damn you windows 7!!! @snixx is it the music or sound ot both that crackles? & rigs you running 32 or 64bit win 7? Think ill need to take a copy over to my brothers place and test it out on his windows 7. |
| ||
| it seems like its just the music |
| ||
| I have 64bit windows 7, creative x-fi thingy. Definately still fine, although strangely it no longer crackles on the old version either... [edit]scrap that, still crackles on the old version. |
| ||
| Quick question, what timing method do you use on a game like this? its very smooth. |
| ||
| No fancy delta timing etc, just set refresh to 60 and Flip(1) - so its forced to play @ 60fps. I have a little millisecs() timer in there to control movment speed, ie it will only move 1px every 1/5th of a second etc. but thats it. |
| ||
| Nice little puzzel game works well on my Win7 haven't seen any glitches. Haven't tried it on Vista yet. |
| ||
| Beta 3 is out (link in original post). Unless any bugs pop up all the coding is done. - added a tutorial level when you first start - fixed up a few graphic issue that I noticed - added the function that the mouse moves with the ogject when you push it, cannot decide if that is good or bad. - puzzles 5-10 jave been changed to some really tricky ones.. do you have the brains to solve them? :p Would love some one to check my grammer with the tutorial messages. Thanks for the comments so far, would love to hear from some one on vista. |

| coffee, just downloaded the latest version and i'm getting the music crackling problem I'm running XP through bootcamp on a Macbook |
| ||
| and i'm getting the music crackling problem I use to get that all the time using XP+Boot camp as you have to use the drivers supplied by apple. I had lots of software with sound issues. In the end I just used the iMac with OS X only and Windows OS on the PC's.I'm running XP through bootcamp on a Macbook @coffeedotbeen: works sofar on Vista ok. |
| ||
| Yeah thought it might be something like that. @coffeedotbean Nice game Just one small thing, in the instructions the plus and minus seem to be the wrong way round, i.e. it would be more natural for the plus to be on the right to signify increase and minus on the left to signify decrease |
| ||
| @ okee - ya probably right about the + and - I have added a Mac (intel) version (link in original post), with it being mac should work just fine on any mac intel... I hope. |
| ||
| also i really like the way you've got around the profiles by just having 3 buttons, saves a lot of coding. |
