Okay, so I was messing around with this “it’s not a hat” game idea, right? I’ve been seeing those silly drawings everywhere, and I thought, “Why not try to make something with that?”
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a simple game engine. Nothing fancy, just something to get the basics down. I’m not trying to build the next Fortnite here, just a little time-waster.
Then, I started sketching out some dumb drawings. You know, the classic “it’s not a hat” stuff. A rectangle that’s totally a spaceship, a circle that’s obviously a black hole – that kind of thing.
Making it Move
Next up, I needed to get these things moving around on the screen. I fiddled with some basic movement code. I literally just had shapes bouncing around. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a start.
The “Not a Hat” Part
Here’s where it got a little tricky. I wanted the player to guess what the “not a hat” object actually was. So, I added some text input. The user types in their guess, and… well, that’s where I’m at right now.
Adding some feedback
- I added a simple check.
- If the player gets the answer it will shows a correct message.
- If the player’s answer is wrong, it show a wrong message, of course.
I’m not a coder, but i maked it, with some easy code, I’m so proud of it.
Still To Do
Right now, it’s super basic. Here is my list:
- It will include more “not a hat” drawings.
- I’d like add some kind of scoring.
- Maybe some silly sound effects.
- Improve the art style, make it looks better.
Honestly, the whole thing is kind of ridiculous, but it’s been fun to tinker with. It’s definitely not a hat, though. For sure.
