I've now added everyone from the OP. So far I've only gotten Boojoh and Gunloc adding me back. Kinda stinks that you have to both add each other to get games.
Did Nintendo of Japan ever host a large amount of good games or just like two a week from famous people and stuff like NOA is doing now.

Looks like I need to spend more time on the art in my games, there some great stuff drawn by people here
It's too bad that you can only share 2 at a time, because as I keep making new games I have to kick one off to share it. Guess I should just make a bunch and go with my best two polished games.

Everyone just needs to keep connecting to WFC at least once a day so the friend check can go through.
Also I got Deku confirmed! I like the TWINgaf micro game, also the candle one is interesting from an artistic point of view, hope you enjoy my two games!
I'll have the other 2 up this Monday. Like I said, I'll make 2 new games and upload them every Monday I can.
Please don't forget to give me some feedback on my games!

Thanks, glad you liked both.
Candle game was my 1st microgame in DIY, so the art wasn't really up to par.
I'm doing more of the series, working on a boss fight
I picked this up at Best Buy last week as part of a sale and I've been enjoying it so much I felt the need to sing the game's praises, especially considering the somewhat muted reaction to the game so far. This is a really special awesome-ass game.
Right from the tutorial the game had me, the quality of the writing is exceptional, it's clear and elegant and funny all at once, I laughed out loud every time Wario impulsively took over and tried his hand at a task. Something about watching Wario's confusion represented in poor drawing skills or cursor movements is really effing hilarious. The tiny sprite icons that represent things like undo or scroll are so great, I think the dancing swap orientation dude in his boxers is my favorite.
I also had fun completing the Assembly Dojo techniques, at first I didn't notice that they tell you exactly where the programming needs to be changed, so finishing each one was almost like a little puzzle. The fact that the game can teaches you how to think about making games in such an intuitive streamlined way is really remarkable.
I bought this game not knowing if I would ever really be able to create my own game, but the game eases you into things so well that I found myself fully engrossed in the creation process. Just making a dumb little game about a plane flying is so absorbing and fun, it's real satisfying to see everything come together.
Anyways, sorry for rambling like an idiot, here's my friend code, I'm going to add everyone in the OP and people who've posted codes recently too. Looking forward to trying out all your games as I struggle to figure out a way to make my Wu Tang microgame magnum opus.

I have been away. Sorry I have not posted anything new since the 1st. Been playing with my new iPad quite alot. Just wanted to say that I added everyone and I will try to check out everyones new levels later.
Posted a new game today "Tap Yellow" (replaces minigore game) and I also posted a new comic and a new music piece.

SMB 1-3 and 2-1 beta are now in my cart. Level 1-3 is basically ready to leave beta, but I still don't like the big honking button. Any ideas? Level 2-1 "Coin Heaven" works well, but I haven't added the official art for the platform or clouds yet.
In 2-1 it was a pain to make a special object to count part of the coins since you can only have 6 win conditions. Is there an code for "increment" or "+1"? What about using "OR" logic? Is there a way to have commands follow each other? For example, "go 16 px North then go 8px East" without having to have the objects hit an object or area.
Is there any way to access the boss stages besides the blender? I'd like to make longer games and take a look under the hood of some of the boss stages.

As for your question, there is no or condition. I think your solution will work, or you can skimp on your objects by using an existing object, like a background prop or some other item which you are not using the switch for, check the coins. Then have your win condition linked to that object or objects.
That saves you having to use a specialized object just for that.
I added you on Monday so I double checked and your code is right because it wouldn't let me add you again. Everyone I've added since Monday (slots 33 to 40) are still question marks and I've connected to the warehouse over a dozen times and the Nin store several times since then. I even connected twice after adding everyone just to make sure. You could have my code wrong, but from what I've read here and at other forums the friends connecting takes way too long for some reason.Deku said:
I'd thought of that, but made the special object thinking I could later use it as a coin counter too, but that won't work as far as I've tested without an increment command. I'd thought I could have the coin switches change the image for each number in the counter, but that would mess up if a coin was skipped. So I thought I could use ANDs, but there are only 6 commands per object so they'd get used up quickly and if I used other objects it would get unnecessarily busy fast. A simple increment command would have been awesome.Deku said:

In other news, I'd thought that the Wiiware and DS titles had the same games, but after watching the 3rd advanced video I gave the Wiiware games a try, and many of them are great. I even noticed that someone had a Wiiware game in their cart. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know the games existed or that they could be shared until that video. I just wish I we could share more than 2 at a time and could view and make boss levels.

So I uploaded my first original microgame this morning. It's actually the second game I've completed but I'm keeping the first one under wraps for now.
Everything in the game is from scratch. I had the maestro help me with the music, but I altered the original piece to my liking.
Let me know what you think everyone. I'm not in love with the enemies, but they are growing on me. (They went through three redesigns.)

Got the game today, along with Red Steel 2. My friend code for this is 3696 2642 6625. I've added everyone up until zigg so far, working on adding the rest...
Edit: Done with everyone with the DS version
Edit: Done with everyone with the DS version
I've added everyone in the OP again for the DS version. Of the dozen or so I added on Monday only one is showing up. Is there something special we have to do to connect? I always connect to the Warehouse after adding people, but do we have to be on at the same time. I also use nicks that are shorter sometimes. Do the names have to be identical?

Well... my most technically complex/detailed game is now up for download. I'm not sure if that says much, but go try:
SOCK'EM ROBO!
Punch-Out!! / Teleroboxer inspired robot battle boxing.
I don't know... I'd say that about half my list has yet to appear...
Er... were you aware that you can transfer your DS online profile from one DS to another? Doing that retains all your game specific friend codes.

DavidDayton said:
Whoah really? Does that wipe out all the WFC info already on the new DS?
Andrex said:
Yes.
In ANY WFC game, enter the WFC options and there should be a "transfer profile to another DS" option.
If you do this, your "profile" is moved from the current DS to the other DS system. This means that all your DS game carts will now work with the new DS and all online settings are retained. However, it would overwrite any WFC settings on the new DS unit.

Huh. Oh well. Is there a way to find out which DS games are tied to the DS?
Andrex said:
All WFC games.
Do you mean which ones are tied to WHICH DS?
If so, just put it in and try to play it - you should get some warning/error/something if you try to play it on the wrong DS, at least before it tries to reset the friend code. At least, that's my understanding - can anyone confirm this?
zigg said:I still don't have anyone after gunloc green. Oh well, entering more codes anyway. Have had no time to make anything else though
Looks like the design challenge ends early Monday morning. Did everyone enter?
I'm hoping to have something done by tomorrow, though my lack of art skills and the time limit is going to seriously hamper the presentation somewhat

Hey, you are actually confirmed now zigg. That took a really long time, Nintendo's servers are really wack it seems.zigg said:
I wonder if people how to both connect to the warehouse within a certain time limit for the confirmation to work. I still have a bunch of people unconfirmed.

Just finished my first real microgame and uploaded it to my friend crate. It took me almost 3 days to create all the sprites, music, and get the AI right so I ended up stealing the background from another game so I could get this uploaded. I hope everyone enjoys it, I worked forever on it. My wife probably wants to kill me. :lol
I've added everyone from the OP, but only Boojoh, Karram, Vagabond, Gunloc, Osuwari, and JesseZao ever green'd for me. Hopefully more people pop up so they can try it out.

Finished my first microgame today: called it "Showertime". Haven't had a chance to upload it to wi-fi yet though.
I've added everyone in the thread since last time I posted. If I'm not green on your list (either as Dragmire or Moldy), let me know. My friends list is gonna fill up.... There are still some people from earlier that never went green on my list: Celebi21, Redboot, gogojira, Mutagenic and Jay. So if you added me too, I don't know what's going on.
I'm still making games (DIY is all I play lately), but I've been working mostly on a very complex one for the contest. I'll have another up soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

I'm so bad. Now that I've gotten back into SoulSilver I haven't picked up this game in at least a week... and that includes FCs. I'm usually so good about them too.

I don't know what's wrong with this game. I've added 46 friend codes, everyone in this thread, to my game and only 7 have ever turned green. I'm sad because I really worked hard on my microgame and I feel like no one is going to get the chance to play it. =\
