I Told My Viewers To Build A Game In 1 HOUR...

good morning my go--just friends on the internet how you guys doing today I'm very excited because I gave you a challenge on creating a game in exactly one hour you have to film yourself Tim post it to me now we're gonna get to pick out a winner actually you're gonna get to pick out a weather and that winner is also gonna get a special prize find out at the end of this episode what's the special prize I don't even know yet now if you like the idea of this episode give it a like and if it gets a lot of links we're gonna do more maybe build out a website in an hour so I think that's pretty cool so give it a like and let's take a look at all the games that you guys send me so the first person who sent me his video is a guy named devasting and he used unity to build out an old classical game called asteroids if you've never heard about asteroids then I'm I'm a boomer but the also cool thing that he did was he used Photoshop to build out all the assets and this is something I actually didn't specify and the challenge if you're able to use predefined assets or not and the reason why I did this was I thought it will be interesting to see if people actually add it before the video or they do it on the spot I thought this was a bit more challenging to do as well but he did he started from scratch and I mean to be honest okay asteroid doesn't really have that complex as that you just had like a triangle and some bullets and stuff like that so let's take a look at what he did here now at around minute 40 he was actually very far ahead he got all the assets working everything was nicely imported the character was moving just fine but the collision was not there yet so whenever he gets hit by one of those rocks he should die and also the ability to shoot so as you can see this game in its nutshell is quite easy you just have some colliders you hitting the rocks you die and you can shoot and if you shoot the rocks they're gonna be destroyed so at around minute 50 he already started implementing the colliding logic right here so he did the laser right there and also the player ship getting collected to the rocks and that's gonna be it so after this all that's left to do is to make some UI make this presentable have a screen to start the game and he was ready to go so he did very well in one hour now let's actually check out the game and see how it is okay here we go let's play asteroids I haven't played asteroids citizens this country was in communism but let's give it a shot so restart and there we go we are moving we are flying oh my goodness the controls are kind of hard a bit I'm not gonna lie oh my god okay so the acceleration is quite difficult and I feel like I'm losing control so maybe this couldn't be improved a bit because I feel like I cannot move at all sometimes so if I push ahead a bit like I know the idea is that you can kind of just go in one direction so where's the pointy thing is that's the only place you can go but it feels still a bit clunky but let me try to shoot like the game works perfectly fine oh look at that we get all the lasers and there's two more we can do this come on everybody one more no I'm gonna collide I'm never gonna collide Oh trick shot there we go I think we won did we win I think we won so there we go okay let's try to just stop the ship and call it today [Music] why you know this stop the ship so the next person that decided to join this lovely challenge is a person called trixx flood and he has a gorgeous wallpaper here as you can see and hopefully you were not distracted by all the other things right here but there is one special thing on the screen so our friend here decided to create a minesweeper kind of clone and he went full-on primal mode he just used HTML CSS and JavaScript to build this out as you can see his on Windows 7 right there I'm not sure why but he's building out all the boxes he's coding so fast actually this video sped up I'm not Joe or maybe he just drank a lot of coffee and drank a coke coke a coca-cola okay there we go he has to read on the screen is building the dot boom boom boom those that's how my pimples looked like when I was in puberty and there we go we have 20 boxes he did the concatenation right there I'm not sure if you saw and he's calculating all the necessary stuff to make minesweeper minesweeper there we go take a look at that Wow okay let's see the end product here and we also need to test this out here's the final game challenge game we have ten bombs and we have a bunch of these things okay now I like that you added the animation that's a nice touch right there so let's click ah okay let's do another try so let's go on this one okay green green always means good if you know what I mean well let's do okay so let me give you a cool idea because if you haven't played minesweeper this might be harder to implement so the idea of the game is pretty cool because you're generating these bombs automatically and you're basically adding this green class or whatever and when you're missing okay here's another challenge for it for you I like the game but for now to make it play like minesweeper what you need to do and if you haven't played minesweeper the way that works is when I'm close to a bomb it actually shows me a number that it's it's like you have in a decent bomb next to you so what you can do maybe is make this orange telling you that hey you have a bomb close to you and maybe green when these surrounded boxes don't have bombs I think that would make it work better and give you the ability to also finish finish the game or actually complete the game because right right now this is kind of impossible a good job like the idea is very cool and look how many I got Wow okay we're on a roll here oh my goodness oh my goodness oh goodness is very fun and when you build it in an hour it's pretty pretty crazy I don't think I could so good job the next game is a Tetris clone still built out with HTML CSS and JavaScript which is quite impressive I'm not sure how you guys do these in one hour but what he did was he used canvas to basically implement all the graphics on the screen so let's give this a shot let's play it see if it works out so here we go we have Tetris so we can move around the screen perfectly fine and we can press down to basically make this move faster let's see you can we do it with space that would be nice and we cannot we just need to tap down but that's fine still pretty impressive these also generate a random color can we flip these around I think we can I just download the button here flip it flip it control now maybe we need to click on the screen no we don't okay let's figure this out how there we go we need to press Q to rotate so that works all right and let's push this down let's see if these actually close up the way they are supposed to and they do Wow and we also have a scoreboard on top this is this is impressive to create in an hour with all this logic and in JavaScript because to be honest in in unity you do have the advantage of have unity just giving you all the 2d colliders and basically physics and all of those if you're doing it by hand with JavaScript without using any libraries you're gonna have to do that manually so this is very very impressive and this is the first actually you like fully I would say playable game that's quite good so props to you let's see what happens when we die the one thing I would have liked even if it would be instant to just press space or something and instantly put this blog down so I don't have to keep spamming the arrow P down but there we get what resets everything works fine so yeah this is this is a very nice fully built out game next up we have my collage who took an interesting approach and I didn't expect to see this but he actually started using react native to build out a tic-tac-toe game so this is very interesting he build out a full-on mobile game and I'm curious to see how this one goes okay so I actually just loaded it up here in the browser then actually get the apps that we can all see it in its full glory so let's tap to play account level Q oh no we have to wait well this is taking a while to load up so let's tell a story when I was a little child little dev head used to go to school and for breakfast we would get a bag of milk it was a triangle looking shape milk and he would gather his straw and you needed to drain that but I didn't like it so what I would end up doing is I would take the milk and would put it in my bag and I would go home and give it to the cats and the cats were really banging it they were having a party so everything was just fine right oh yeah but one day I actually got two bags I'm not sure what the story is behind that why I got two bags maybe I was a good little kid but I got two bags and I put both of them in my backpack really happy the cats are gonna be obese everybody's happy well I ended up going on the bus and for somehow some reason I leaned back on my bag and the milk exploded it was a mess it was not pretty so I was really really scared I didn't want to show my mom then my whole bag is full of milk so I ended up going to the bathroom really fast without her noticing I would wash it and clean it the cats were sad and I was sad it's this game loading up today okay next up is a guy named Warren nerd build of the game I'm not sure what the game is but I tugged at the description and his video was quite funny so let's give it a read doing a developed game in an hour challenged by dev ed this was really tough but also quite fun the end result is weird and unreal II a finished game at all but good to see what one could do in such a short timeframe I think I went a bit OTT with my ambitions with the game and made the two remet a bit too complex for the time period using react with a frame is probably an okay idea but my lack of familiarity with using a frame with react made it so I lost a lot of time on that okay mr. time Mart let's see where you screwed up okay so my tic-tac-toe game actually loaded up tic-tac-toe click there we go something went wrong okay we're gonna give this some time let's go back to Time Lord everybody a gangsta until Time Lord actually tries to build out something in three B so this is very interesting everybody build out to begin so far because generally that's very easy to make or just way easier and faster to make than building out the half-decent 3d game so I appreciate the effort and the ambition right here but this is one of the first problems that can potentially fail you this kind of challenge and let me kind of give you my experience with game development when I start picking out game development and I had an awesome idea it was generally just too complex or too big especially if it's 3d and then you end up wasting weeks and weeks when weeks to get something playable so this is something that that is very important especially when you're getting into game development and not saying time to art is getting into game development he might be a pro for all I know he just tried to be super ambitious but speaking from my experience when I did game development is that if you have a larger project especially if it's treaty it's gonna take a ton and a ton of time so generally what people will tell you when you're starting out and development is to build out super super simple stuff so actually the idea for this game is very good I think and I give you tons of props so basically you navigate through VR and the objective is to find one of these boxes so in this case you have to find the pink box so again you have to navigate through VR and once you find the box you win the game so the mountains you did in one hour is very impressive I don't want to take that away from you it's very good and I'm pretty sure if I would have given you an entire day you would have done it perfectly awesome and it would have been fully playable however for now I wanna apologize because the tetris game that we saw was actually fully playable and in here there were things that were still missing such as maybe having a timer so if you if you don't find the ping box in 30 seconds or a minute then you lose the game and have the UI bear to restart the game and things of that sort so this was more of a prototype and again it's great it's awesome why you do this what have I done to you my friend load up the game next up our friend Florin pop decided to join the competition she tried to build out a snake game using Python actually that's why he didn't but he didn't do it took him an hour and 32 minutes so he decided to come back in full force and build out a flappy bird clone right here so as you can see his balls were already flying on the screen it was a good day he was prepared he drank his coffee now let's see what happened so there we go jiggly balls all around so there we go 27 minutes and the walls were automatically regenerating themselves in putting themselves at random locations all that's left to do is to just make some minor adjustments to the movement of jumping and also changing up the assets to something a bit nicer and the collision as well close to the end at minute 47 he was frantically searching for the clock there on the screen but he decided to pick out a nice bird and which which one is he gonna go for the he gonna go for the flying bird Wow let's take a look is he gonna find it is he gonna find what he's looking for he missed the lovebirds he's gonna search for flappy bird there's no match for you and there we go that's the one no he changed his mind his times racing he's going to the next page I usually do that but on other website he end up on page 48 there we go he found the Angry Birds and he's making it a flappy bird close to the end at minute 54 he decided to frantically search for some audio to add to his game and he found it and all that's left to do is to just copy/paste some code from he three schools there we go paste copy paste that's the way we develop everybody changed that WAV WAV make that work perfect and there we go he managed to add the image of the bird we have the sounds we also have the walls and a score to keep track hold up a minute what is for him to and again he's searching for that muck oh my goodness the two-minute comic run is he gonna find another cook for his game oh my goodness I didn't expect this one and there it is everybody another buck added to the game oh my goodness how is this gonna play out what's gonna happen to comes on the screen no way we have to play this so the way this works is actually you have two buttons you have Z for this one to jump and X for the other one so you kind of have to do together here to get this going and we have the special sound effects of floor em pop saying Bing and there we go oh my goodness next up mister siphon codebase decided to build out a game that actually played before on my phone so this is kind of a stacking game and if you don't know the concept of it is you have these moving blocks and you have to stack them on top of each other and they they sped up after a while and they become also shorter and if you miss this tank then you lose the game he also decided to make it with HTML CSS and JavaScript which I appreciate because it's it's a bit more difficult and obviously using canvas you have all the necessary tools to build a the game like this okay so he did the drawing here and changing the colors and let me kind of show you the end product here if we skip ahead as you can see you basically have these moving blocks and when they stack up you have to click and hopefully get them right on top of each other hello guys this is web dev simplified here simplifying the web for you now I must concentrate power will determination look at that perfect stacking perfect just mylakeland adjust Merrigan like my life is not perfect hit okay we're 20 I just 150 give me a nice 50 there we go we can one-up the chain boys 24 click Maximilian's fart smeller would be proud of me click more more it's starting to speed up I don't like the way this goes I know again we're doing it just need to focus we just need to focus up in here click click clicking as a millionaire can we get up to millions I can put a nice table ah our fellow youtuber Tyler Potts also decided to build out a game for us using javascript HTML and CSS and basically this is one of those space shooter type of games but instead of using a spaceship and some we are asteroids he decided to use colorful balls so I always appreciate that so here we go let's take a quick look on how that plays out there we go here is all our ball shooter game and we can shoot balls can we move around very nice when we get hit unfortunately nothing really happens when we get hit well we can shoot them which is nice and we do get points so this is the game for your children if they don't like oh you actually lose the points which is cool okay so you just clickety clackety and actually you know what even when you miss you lose so that's what I wanted to say if you miss and you lose that's pretty cool okay so actually I don't know why but I find this quite fun I could spend hours on this and when I go to sleep all I see is balls in my face next up our friend aiseesoft here built out a game and I'm not entirely sure what it does but it's some sort of robot detector it detects you if you're a robot or not so I watched it I cannot really tell so let's just give it a shot and play it are your robot remember the CAPTCHA that's simple enough if if you're not a robot okay a ddy oh okay so it automatically stops it for me and I have to type it so I can see it for a few seconds ad y ou check and we have one point okay so let's speed up a bit damn I didn't see that one ah okay again PCB check now PCB EE I can guarantee you that traversing media would not have any mistakes in this one because he's not a human mr. deep mafada used unity to build out this Auto runner game with a ninja and the game name is gorgeous ninja and you have to destroy this court because that's your life goal so he did it and about 19 minutes 19 minutes everybody very impressive so let's take a look on how it turned out okay so this is using WebGL mm the music Oh make it simple enough I can jump and we can destroy oh no oh no well it kind of bugged out there I'm stuck in space pace pace pace pace pace pace pace pace pace pace okay I think we need to refresh this oh I came back what is this so you can never die okay so here's where you can mess up the physics of it where this gains exponential speed if you keep pressing space it kind of adds up to it and it keeps going faster and faster so as you can see if I fall it keeps falling and falling faster it doesn't fall at the same speed so if I press space multiple times it's gonna shoot me up in the sky like that do we okay so I just pass through it so it's actually not that dangerous but let's try it anyways got just ninja there we go okay there we go I wanna fly a bit there we go a bit of flying what happens at the end of the stage it's gonna be Maximilian Schwarz whew mother Italia Maximilian zoom ahead is gonna show up in the end and nobody's showing up okay so I'm guessing this is generated randomly and it keeps going infinitely oh never mind okay we actually we actually hit the end wall there okay that's gorgeous ninja right there for you and our final Challenger on building out he came in one hour was coding garden with CJ who decided to take it to the next level and built out a dungus game using pack and and front end allowing multiple users to join his game at the same time and clicking the little dung gases to collect points so let's see how it turned out so as you can see here he used his tml CSS and JavaScript from the front end and he used node in the back end using socket IO to be able to connect multiple users to the game but all of a sudden somebody wrote a script and Casas started exploding on CJ garden screen and it looked like my bathroom on a Sunday morning you and then other weird things started happening on the screen that I just cannot explain so that's gonna be at hope you enjoy this one and the winner is gonna be well you can pick out any one ever that you want go down in the comments right now there's gonna be a Twitter pull up down below and pick out your favorite game and the winner is gonna get three courses for free it can be my horse and udemy course whatever you want okay so that's what the winner is gonna get please check out everybody who's joined during their links are gonna be in the description thank you very much this has been extremely fun let's do it again and again give it a like if you want to see one done with websites and hopefully this encourages you guys to join and have some fun okay that's gonna be it until next time

So I thought it would be a nice idea to challenge people to build out small games and motivate them to create. Offering free courses for the winners. I wanted to ask you if you would be interested in joining these sorts of mini challenges.
