A GameMaker asset from Core Systems Asset Factory. Made with GameMaker. Paid.
Sampler: Picross in an Embroidery Hoop for GameMaker is a GameMaker asset for GameMaker, paid.
Picross for your game, stitched. The player fills a chart from the number clues along its rows and columns, one cross stitch at a time. When the chart is right, the threads go in from the centre out and the finished piece is set in an embroidery hoop, inside a stitched wreath, with a brass plaque naming it. Pure GML, with no sprites: the only image files are the glyph sheets of its 4 fonts.
Put it in a cottage, a winter inn or a rainy day on the farm.
Every chart is generated from a seed you choose, a number or a text such as a place name, so the same seed is always the same puzzle, and the player's stitches save with your game. my_chart = smp_play_create({ seed: "Hollow Oak cottage", size: 10, work: my_saved.work, done: my_saved.done }); if (smp_play_step(my_chart) == "left") my_saved = smp_play_save(my_chart); // Step smp_play_draw(my_chart, 0, 0, display_get_gui_width(), display_get_gui_height()); // Draw GUI What your players see The chart: woven linen on a walnut sewing table, the grid heavier every fifth line, column clues on a paper tape above and row clues to the left, each dimming as its line matches.
