It's back, and betterer than ever! This time I used a shell script to randomly select three Klipart sprites by fair chance! The script, for reference:

#!/bin/bash

for i in `seq 1 3`
do

	cd /montparnasse/libs;
	chosendir=`ls -d */ 2>/dev/null | shuf -n1`;
	echo `find $chosendir -maxdepth 1 -type f | shuf -n1`;
done

You are tasked with creating a game in two hours that uses all three of these sprites in a prominent role:

Ground rules: Minor sprite edits are fine, as long as you don't try to change the identity of the sprites. Also be sure you work all the sprites into major roles, preferably on the same frame/screen together at some point in your game. Outside of that, go nuts!

Do it this Saturday on the 26th, same time as Klik of the Month Klub!

Do eeeet!

You'll probably want to upload the game here when you're done with it.

The Klik of the Month Klub meets right here on this very website on the third Saturday of every month at 4pm Pacific Time (taking daylight savings into consideration) for a two hour Klik & Play Showdown. Everyone who participates gets two hours to create something from scratch in Klik & Play. Abusing the stock objects is encouraged. If you really loathe Klik & Play you can use whatever game development platform you want. Two hours is a pretty tight time limit, though, so choose wisely!

Klik & Play is absolutely free to download, and learning it takes minutes, so everyone can get in on the action.

After you've made your game, you should upload it here!

I was expecting another Klipart Konundrum this weekend, but it doesn't seem like there's going to be one. Effbee: Let me know if you were still planning to do one. In lieu of this event, may I present:

KNYTT OF THE MONTH* KLUB #7: SHORT NOTICE EDITION

Make a Knytt Stories level in 2 hours! Alternatively, make something else in 2 hours. It's up to you, really.

Never used the Knytt Stories editor before? No problem! Download Knytt Stories here. (If you've never played it before, give the tutorial or bundled level a go to get a feel for how the game works.) The editor comes included, and a good way to learn to use it is by cracking open existing levels and poking at them to see how they work. This guide is also recommended reading.

Join us on IRC for camaraderie, support and merrymaking! Point your favourite IRC client to #glorioustrainwrecks on irc.freenode.net, or use our handy-dandy in-browser chat here.

Upload your level here when it's done!
