PuzzleScript collection
This page is the clickmazes portal to the wonderful world of puzzlescript (PS). An impressive open-source toolkit for rapid-prototyping of simple HTML5 puzzle-apps. Since its inception in 2013 PS has been embraced by dozens of indie and hobby-level developers resulting in a mind-boggling, ever-expanding collection of puzzles, allowing anyone armed with a browser and a keyboard (recommended) to explore the amazing creations of some of the world's newest and most innovative puzzle-game designers.
In October 2020 I began to play. Then in February 2021 I began to develop. This page will hopefully track my progress on both fronts, as I attempt to hone my below-par solving skills and slowly morph into someone who could be mistaken for a wannabe indie games developer.
New May 2024: Support for SVG has snuck into puzzlescript! In a nutshell... a stringified JSON object can now be used to define a sprite, instead of a fixed grid of coloured pixels. This is the genius idea of Henri Manson (April 2024) who is already planning the next iteration.
The new functionality is currently only accessible on the test branch of the PSNext fork (release v-24e01) so you must use the right editor, accessible via the hack-link from any of these first four playable apps. Ready to take a dive down the rabbit-hole? Here you go... FlipTiles, Ed Pegg's OTHER WAY mazes, Hysteresis key and Marble-tilt.
