(This is my third post; the project has undergone significant changes, so I created a new topic.)

Before reading, it’s best to watch the video below (Google Drive link).

Multiplayer is included and works perfectly without any errors.

I'm from Mykolaiv, Ukraine.

The game has a top-down, slightly side-view perspective.

Unique feature: Players now choose abilities from a selection (ATTENTION! In the previous version, abilities were created by players, but now they select from dozens of existing abilities with customizable parameters).

For example, after choosing an ability like "shoot," players can adjust the following parameters:

Range of the shot

Projectile travel time (seconds)

Damage

Preparation time before the shot (seconds)

Character animation at the start of the attack

Character animation at the end

Bullet appearance

Costume animation (e.g., the movement of a cape or scarf)

They can also add effects with parameters (like poisoning, for instance).

Players can assign an activation key for each ability (currently only key codes are supported) and set icon position coordinates for the ability.

There are also parameters for joystick range on mobile devices if used.

The app was previously available for phones, but I haven’t tested or fully adapted it for mobile devices in this version.

Recharge options are customizable as well: base recharge time, number of charges (energy), and charge cost per use of the ability.

Three ability examples are currently available: sword strike, shot, and a straight dash (which uses the sword strike animation since I didn’t have time to create new ones).

Players can also add a camera and movement controls (both function like in MOBA games such as League of Legends or Dota 2).

Each ability has a cost number displayed next to it. The parameters of an ability (and its recharge settings) are calculated into a single value (representing the overall strength of the ability), which helps to balance the game.

Note: Currently, any value can be entered in the fields, even illogical ones. For example, you could enter a negative number for damage or range, so avoid inputs that may cause errors.

To enter values, double-click on a field.

Remember to save your work.

It’s best not to adjust the abilities' settings for now, as they are preset with default values.

Only the recharge settings are critical to adjust: each new ability has default icon coordinates and key bindings, which must be customized.

Watch the video demonstration closely, as I adjust all these values there.

Key numbers:

q - 81

w - 87

e - 69

It’s better not to change the rest.

Be sure to add a camera and movement control (default key is RMB).

Space focuses the camera on the player.

In the future, there will be various camera and movement control options.

You can also change skins, although there’s essentially only one option for most items.

This is only a portion of the available features; I won’t discuss the rest just yet.

The essence of the game is not only in creating a skill set but also in allowing players to customize the controls. They can choose between MOBA-style controls, WASD movement, or even touch controls for mobile devices.

There can also be different types of abilities. For instance:

- Abilities might alternate

- Some could be stronger but lack aiming capability

- Rhythm-based abilities

- Abilities where the aim rotates clockwise and becomes more powerful with each rotation

All of these setups will be easy to balance. Even abilities that synergize too well (or poorly) with others will be adjusted, either strengthened or weakened.

Examples of different ability types include:

- A simple shot

- Running shot

- Wide shot

- Gradual acceleration shot

- Gradual deceleration shot

- Dash shot

Each ability will come with customizable parameters, making balancing simple and flexible.

(This is my second post on this topic. However, the project has undergone very big changes and I created a new topic on this.)

Hello,

I’m a resident of Mykolaiv, Ukraine, and I’m working on an unusual project that’s nearly complete. It’s a top-down and slightly side-view game with a unique feature: players create their own characters and abilities through programming—more specifically, using blocks or puzzles that are transformed into code. This provides unprecedented freedom, allowing players to design everything from character traits to combat mechanics. In multiplayer mode, each player's code is sent separately, with security measures in place to prevent the execution of malicious code. It’s worth noting that the eval function is used, but before the code is executed, each player’s app checks for suspicious fragments.

absolutely every little thing, every detail has already been thought out so there won't be any bugs

I have already figured out how to synchronize all variables, all expectations and cycles, and especially the balance (is already present in the game)

In short, the player creates their character using blocks (like in Scratch) and then plays with them.

Below, I’ve attached the game (for PC, though it’s also adapted for mobile devices). In the game, you can script every little detail.

Players can also upload animations (PNG sprite sheets) and manually process each frame by resizing, deleting, splitting into different animations, and much more.

Upon the first launch, the game already includes animations and code, so you can start playing immediately. However, don’t try to edit the character yourself. You can only view how the code/blocks are structured because I haven’t yet implemented restrictions within the game’s code constructor. While writing the initial code, I kept all the rules in mind and followed them, but I haven’t yet worked on enforcing them in the block system. The code is built correctly, though.

Controls:

In the current initial code, the controls are as follows:

Q – Sword strike

W – Throw shuriken (the only ability you can aim)

E – Dash

R – Throw rope at a landscape element (works like a laser); pressing again pulls the character

Right mouse button – Movement

In essence, you can set up any controls, but for this example, I chose these (similar to League of Legends or Dota 2). Yes, I made the character a bit clumsy, but I think it’s enough for you to get the idea. The multiplayer is already functional.
