Adoptable apps: Games edition 🎲

KDE makes a long list of games, and we will be adding some to the list of adoptable apps over the next few days.

kde.org/fundraisers/yearend202

Here are the first four:

* KNights is for playing chess. You can pick the chess engine, play over the Internet, monitor your progress and more.

* KNetWalk is a puzzle game where you have to connect all the computers to the Internet.

Ah, look at all the productive people.
Ah, look at all the productive people.

Eleanor-N-RIG stirs the soylent in the factory that feeds her whole block.
Living the dream.
Waits by the food vats wearing a jumpsuit she keeps neatly pressed.
She does it for you.

All the productive people.
Serving Friend Computer.
All the productive people.
Serving the greater good.

Last of all, we love a story that combines gaming and Microsoft’s Office suite. To wit, this little gem from @Gizmodo that our @CultureDesk shared about Michael Jarman, who last week won the Microsoft Excel World Championship, competing with 11 over finalists in a simulated game of World of Warcraft via spreadsheet. Congrats, Michael!

Gizmodo · Canadian Man Crowned King of Spreadsheets at the 2024 Microsoft Excel World ChampionshipGuess you could say this guy really excels at spreadsheets.

Ich hoffe, ich bekomme den Authentikator aus dem Guild Wars 2 Account raus vom Support. Ich hatte nicht alle Angaben, die verlangt wurden. Muss mir, wenn das klappt, mal bessere Notizen machen dazu.
Danach vielleicht mit SMS absichern? Kein Plan. Mal schauen, was die so anbieten.

Guidelines:
- It’s a slow-paced game. Use long time periods for polls, usually 12 or 24 hours, to give people in different timezones the opportunity to play.
- If a phrase contains anything other than letters, supply them at the beginning. For example, for “C-3PO”:
_ - 3 _ _

For “Padmé”:

_ _ _ _ _

However, when the E is guessed, supply the accent:

_ _ _ _ É

It’s hard to put an accent over an underscore.
- Use slashes (/) between words. This is especially helpful with longer phrases.
- All Star Wars (canon & legends) content is eligible.
- The purpose is to have fun. Rules are somewhat limited. It’s up to the host how to run each puzzle.
- Boost when you vote. It helps others discover the game.

To host a #SarlaccPit puzzle:

1. Choose a word or phrase that is #StarWars -related. Post the first puzzle with all blanks using the #SarlaccPit tag. Posts should be public.
2. Stick to Galactic Basic (English). Alien & proper names are OK.
3. Include tags like #StarWars #games #puzzles to allow new users to discover the puzzles in progress.
4. Run polls until someone guesses. If the host accrues 10 wrong answers, they win.
5. Provide 4 options in each poll.
6. Each poll should include at least one letter that occurs in the answer to the puzzle.
7. List incorrect guesses of letters revealed not to occur (“Wrong guesses: X, Q”).
8. When you guess, use a CW. Some players like to challenge themselves. Your wrong guess may be a hint.
9. When the right answer is guessed, the host should post the result and the winner using the #SarlaccPitSolved tag. Also reply to this thread to keep a list of previous phrases that have already been used.
10. The winner hosts the next puzzle or may alternately nominate another host, though the other is under no obligation.

No to Witch, necromancer dopiero w okolicach drugiej połowy trzeciego aktu zaczyna dostawać kopa... wcześniej było biedowanie ze spiritem. Ale teraz mam prawie 300 i już mogę przed sobą pędzić gromadkę 2 szkietetów wojowników, 3 żniwiaży, 3 grenadierów, ognistego pieska i 10 płonących czach...

W3C tech on the web "WASM-4: Retro Game Dev Right In Your Browser"
"Born from the WebAssembly ecosystem, this console accepts “cartridges” in .wasm format. Any language that compiles to WebAssembly—be it Rust, Go, or AssemblyScript—can build games for it. The console’s emphasis on portability, with plans for microcontroller support, positions it as a playground for minimalist game developers. Multiplayer support? Check. Retro vibes? Double-check." #WebAssembly #Games
