Hi i was one of the programmers on this. Glad to see its spread pretty quick. I'm just posting to mention an update made today (nov. 3rd) to fix a memory leak that was over looked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion about adding text to it. To be honest, i can't believe we never thought of doing it!
Thanks again,
Chronic
hoy, CosMind here - a designer, artist, and programmer on this quicky little toy.
ReplyDeletei second chronic's appreciation on the post.
i hope a bunch of cats find a fun creative outlet and see how far they can push the "rules" that Jack-O! lays out.
as a side note, message text was something that was thought of, but a very conscious omission for two very intelligent reasons:
1) this was intended as a "creative toy", not a greeting card maker. the focus was on providing a simple toolbox and ruleset that the user could stretch in creative manners; and hopefully surprise us (which many already are). if users wanted to convey a messege, then they have all the tools that they need to carve one out or build one with the little decorative toys. word :)
2) chronic, bballer, and i busted guts to rock this together in less than 5 days - on a timeline like that, it comes down to deciding exactly what the most crucial and fun features were.
peace! keep having fun, igniting the thoughtful discussions, and spreading the indie love :D
