The 100-in-1 Klik & Play Pirate Kart CALL FOR METADATA
UPDATE: FINAL SUBMISSION IS HERE. Kirk, I'm sorry but Girl From Ipanema plays through all your Java games now. I might fix that this afternoon, but I think I'm ready to post the link at TIGSource!
UPDATE: It was a long evening, but the beta-test copy of the Klik & Play Pirate Kart should be showing up at this link within ten minutes or so. Please make sure I didn't screw anything up. If I did, post a comment and I will fix it for the final version. Also, I HAVE NO INFORMATION FROM EUDAIMON AND THEPRESTON! Get this shit to me IMMEDIATELY. Thanks. If you haven't yet submitted screenshots, GET THEM TO ME RIGHT AWAY. I'm compiling this tomorrow afternoon and then shipping it off.
CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE! This weekend was legendary. I never thought when I dreamed this up that we'd actually hit 100 games, but we actually got to 103. (There's a download link to the compiled collection on the event page, if you want it for voting purposes.)
Now, there's still the small matter of wrapping this up in a delicious package for submission. To really spice things up, I could use some more information than just your handle and the title of your games! So comment on this post with the following info:
NAME: You can use your real name, a pseudonym, a fake company name, your handle, your real name with your handle in the middle -- whatever you want to show up beside your games.
PICTURE: Again, this can be a photograph, your avatar, company logo, it's up to you. Please just use a link rather than embedding an image so the page doesn't get huge.
BIO: A short paragraph with your superhero origin story, or you can talk about your games, or how you were beaten as a child, or whatever.
For each of your games:
NAME: So I know what game you're referring to
DESCRIPTION: Just one or two sentences describing the game.
GENRE TAGS: "nsfw" is an important one for a couple of them, but just some words that I can sort by. Try to look at what other people are using, but don't be afraid to have a little fun with these.
LEVELS: If applicable, the number of levels in your game, so that people don't shut off, say, Metal Axe Warriors, thinking they've seen everything when they've only gotten to the first screen.
SCREENSHOT: There's no way I'm taking screenshots of all 100 games myself, so make a good one and upload it someplace. Again, links rather than inline images please.
Finally, perhaps most important:
NOMINATIONS FOR GREATNESS: Name some games (that aren't your own) that really stand out to you as games that the people judging our submission should not miss. 103 KnP games is a fucking lot of shit to wade through, but there are some great games in there that we should be proud of. So let's show them off!
We are going to kick SO MUCH ASS you guys. Thank you so much.

"I am the creator of The Gamer’s Quarter, an independent videogame magazine focusing on first person writing. His work has been featured on MTV.com, 1up.com, Chatterbox Radio, Entdepot, and the Fatpixels Radio Podcast."
Is this intentional? Because at first glance it's just an unintentional shift from first to third person, but then with the "focusing on first person writing" bit the error is kind of hilarious.
Blargh! It was just a copy

NAME: Raphael Freight-Train Shinners
PICTURE: Here. Feel free to crop it like it's hot.
BIO:
There are, unfortunately, multiple things to say about the man whose life's ambition is to be labelled "enigmatic" by the mainstream press. For example, he is 6 feet tall! Balderdash, I hear you decry, and you're right! I was lying. Or was I? No, seriously, he is That Tall.
Klik & Play was a passion of his ever since he received it for christmas many moons ago. In high school, they even crowned him the "Klik King", but this was a result of a massive spelling error. The correct title was "Clique King", a nugget of comedy gold created by the student body, since Raph was not a part of any cliques, gangs or even social circles. Oh the hip irony! To this day, he is still addressed in the street as "Oi! Klikhead!", or something which sounds suspiciously similar.
The ladies love him. He is, after all, supernaturally attractive.

NAME: Jeremy "SpindleyQ" Penner
PIC: We're Not Even Human
BIO: A mild-mannered flowchart analyst by day, Jeremy would not strike you as the sort of person who is able to mobilize a small army of game developers at a moment's notice towards the noble, unfathomable goal of creating 100 games using outdated and broken tools in 48 hours. Yet as the founder of GloriousTrainwrecks.com, he has managed to do just that. In addition to running a website dedicated to terrible videogames, he occasionally writes for the excellent Gamer's Quarter magazine, and one day maybe will finish writing that Atari 2600 port of "robotfindskitten".

ME
Name: J. "Botagel" Reed
Picture: This, and make it animated if you can!
Bio: In the fourth grade, I made a totally sweet Klik & Play game which made me the envy of all my fellow young nerd friends. I called it "Barney Killers" for trademark reasons, but the informal title was "Barney Blasters," and it was an epic of Stan Bush midis, stolen graphics and crudely-drawn purple dinosaurs exploding into bloody chunks. I feel that experience makes me entirely overqualified for this event, but do not worry; years of K&P experience don't make you any better at making games that aren't a total mess. Please enjoy responsibly.

I have a cat named Little Boy and three rats; Alaska, Buttons, and Quaggy, because I am conceited and name things after myself.

BUG REPORT
none of professor scissors's games will open from the menu
closing a game manually sometimes just makes it immediately open again, several times
Which menu? By author? Is
Which menu? By author? Is the game info dialog coming up? It might be a too-long filename issue -- do you have it deep in some folder hierarchy somewhere?
Also what OS are you running?
By "closing a game manually" do you mean the actual game and not the info dialog?
I'm on Win98 btw
I'm on Win98 btw
it'll pull up the game info box, but telling it to run the game just gives an error message, telling me to look at a logfile, which i think says the problem is "no such file or directory" (i have them all installed from the previous zip)
after checking around some more, it happens to other games as well, always on the same ones.
(EDIT: okay i think it has to do with every folder with a space in the name)
closing the game - yeah, by closing the window of the game itself, the ones that weren't coded to close themselves. everything in kart.exe itself works just fine, it only seems to have problems on my computer when accessing the game exe files
oh yeah and i also agree with six. the GUI is too macintoshy and not enough piratey. just a minor gripe.
Pirate Kartin'
Awesome! I did notice a couple of things, though.
-The Klik games don't work on computers that don't have KnP installed. (It wants the DLLs.)
-Apostrophes, hyphens, etc. in the extended info don't display properly.
-I'm sure you realize this, but pictures aren't shown at their proper aspect ratio.
-I don't want to gripe or nothin', but it, um, looks a bit too nice? It's kind of a stark contrast to the games proper! M-maybe you could put in some garish blinking text, or tacky music, or something. Jus' sayin'.
Also, it looks like kirkjerk's (awesome, by the way) processing.org games do require that the JRE be installed. I'm probably the last dude on earth who didn't have it, but a little explanatory note might be helpful.
Oh, and I realized Kicking the Hobbit 2 was broken in the second frame. I fixed that this morning, so maybe you can replace it in the final package.
what link
so has the link been updated? I'm not on a windows machine right now.
i agree that the title screen should try and fit the vibe.... too bad we didn't have lots of animated GIFs of the KnP art...
I'm sorry! I don't have
I'm sorry! I don't have time to ugly up the theme. I'm using the GUI library in Phil's pyGame Utilities and that's the only theme it comes with and I can't find any others floating around that might be more appropriate. I'm trying to make up for it by having the terrible image scaling. A MIDI of "Girl From Ipanema" may well be added as well, if it doesn't fuck up the actual games.

yowza
So not to over-gush, but like I said, I thought you were doing some of the most interesting things in the compilation (like you can see from the java stuff I did, I'm more into interesting interactions with a bit of humor than garish explosions of color and sound and insantiy)
Do you do game or toy creation outside of KnP? If so, or for any other KnP stuff, do you have a URL?
Glad to know someone liked
Glad to know someone liked my games. Actually, I... haven't done much of anything before. Aside from a game made with KnP that involved martial artists, soccer balls, and a gorilla (which I really wish I had to contribute to the Kart), these were my first games. Like it says in my bio, I really am just a college student right now, and I'm much more of a lurker on the internet than a creator.
I enjoyed your games as well! I only nominated Homeworld Defense because it had the best "bad-game" feel, but your Java games are really nice graphically, and I thought Preggers in particular was pretty brilliant. It's like an even more minimalistic version of fl0w.
well, shucks
Heh, didn't meant to necessarily create a mutual admiration society here... but I'm glad you liked the java stuff, and if/when i participate in some of the Klik-fests, I'll probably be looking to rip off some of your ideas about platforms. KNP offers some neat possibilities, very object- and event- oriented in a way... though I still haven't quite wrapped my mind around some of how it treats duplicate items. (it seems like sometimes you get clones, other times you get copies, depending on how you do it)
Actually I do kind of wish I had gotten the lay of the land sooner in the weekend, trying more of other folk's stuff in particular, and heaping praise and asking questions in general...

Err, also, SpindleyQ, would you mind terribly adding Air/Sea Giraffe to my (long) list of nominations? It is your game after all, and I think it's pretty amazing. I gather that it's based on Space Giraffe, but I'll probably never get to play that game.

Also, I am officially close-to-tears proud of what we have achieved.
Finally, can I ask anyone who played "You have a hangover II" whether their vomit stuck to the floor? When I made it it did (as it should), but I played it again and it no longer does, with not a whiff of modification. Which means you can no longer lose self-respect? This is clearly not the kart's fault, it must be just Fickle & Play (see what I did there?).
Thank you! Vomit is

thoughts on compilation:
1. now that I've finally seen it... I guess it's piratey enough. Maybe a fixed size font woulda worked?
2. My java games are curiously hit or miss (curiously in the sense of, I think the JVM etc should be the same for all of 'em.. but I don't know for certain) blockvaders and nudge don't do anything, cosmicarkatarami errors out , and breastpong and PREGGERS are fine.
3. no "play game" button directly on the menu, you have to go through game info? I guess that could be piratey crapness...)
4. author info, guess this doesn't get updated from the game list, only when you actually have an author name highlighted. (again more pirateness...)
BTW, is .7Z the hip new thing, or is it just you ?
1. If I could have I would
1. If I could have I would have opened the menu with this.
2. Weird, they all work for me.
3. I didn't want people to miss the screenshots! Honestly I should have automatically put the details on the bottom of the window or something, but time constraints and bad 1am judgement. I was just happy to have found a GUI library that got out of my damn way.
4. Wow, that would've been smart.
7z was used because I didn't have WinRAR at work, and zip was unacceptably large in comparison.
