Dinosaur memory

Pointless background story:
I was sitting at home watching a video on my laptop when one of my kids walk over and something like “gummy bear”. I didn’t get that, but I figured they could watch some kids videos, so I look up something kiddy friendly, slap the laptop on the table and go to do something else. I come back after a few minutes to check up on them, and the kids are happily watching something, so I walk over to see what it is, and it naturally is The Gummy Bear Song. That might not seem so strange, but they are 4 years old and can barely type their own names, and they have never used my computers at home. As I later find out, they use youtube at kindergarten and apparently are capable of finding the gummy bear song via “Related Videos” using no more than 5 clicks from any video at youtube :slight_smile: I was almost starting to think they were running some sweatshop power leveling at kindergarten, but the bags of perler beads they come home with seems to contradict that.

Anyway, as I learned that my kids are able to use computers in combination with my back not really being in shape, preventing me from long-term after work hours of game-coding at the moment, I decided to get my kick from quick kiddie games. One evening of game logic and one for polish. The instant positive feedback from my kids was great and I could use it with “only one more time each, if you are good at brushing your teeth and going to bed afterward”.

Well, long story, but the game is simply: turn around cards and try to find pairs of same pictures. If you know, or are a 3 - 103 year old child, then go ahead and

As always, let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for improvement. Provide specs if you have problems running the game.

I created two more games, that I will post shortly as well.

It works fine here.

Lol it’s a bit buggy, for example if you click on 3 cards, they all show up and some might cancel even though there’s no match.
Then at the end of the game you end up with 3 cards and none of them match so you can’t beat the game.

Yeah! I won (with 1 card still face down!!) just by wildly clicking all over the game like a kid might do. ;D
Looks good though!

Thanks for the feedback!

I never managed to get 3 cards facing up. However, if you double click one card it was removed. Last thing I did before uploading was commenting out the wrong line naturally :stuck_out_tongue: Now right line is gone, so only pairs should go away.

Now you also get a score depending on time and number of clicks. So clicking wildly will give you bad score. <100 on “8 pairs” is good <70 is quite good. <200 on “15 pairs” is OK. I hope clicking wildly shouldn’t get you close to that.

When I have clicked on two cards, after a few seconds one card is turned, but after that the whole screen freezes and I can’t click on anything.

Yee… it is done so that you have to click fast :persecutioncomplex:
No, I was moving too fast and forgot to upload updated version of my framework. :-\ That problem should be gone now.

Thanks for reporting.
