Poppy's Playground Game

Hello, friends! Long time no see 🌸 I’ve been jumping from hobby to hobby lately, not able to finish anything before I start something else. It’s quite frustrating, but I am slowly making progress on a bunch of things at once.

One of the things I’ve been working on is a game called Poppy’s Playground! It is written in Lua, and is pretty simple so far. Basically, you are my cat Poppy, and you are trying to collect cookies without getting caught by the evil Tiger.

I haven’t deployed the game anywhere yet because I’ll need to set up a server to host the game, and those are expensive to run.

Future ideas include:

• Selecting a player at the beginning of the game (Poppy, Buddy, or Ray). Each player has different stats
• A high score board
• Adding tiger to chase the player
• Allowing the player to jump on furniture to get away from Tiger
• Adding catnip to give the player a boost
• Putting the game on a server to embed on this website

So there’s still a lot of work to do before it’s an actual, like, fun game, but it’s coming along, and I’ve learned a lot about Lua! Click here for the source code!
