I really love crawling mazes. Especially when I need to race another adventure (blue @) for a wreck with loot (brown P). The adventurer uses Tremaux algorithm to efficiently cover a lot of maze is short time. This involves a simple machine-learning AI.

New release of Pyrates 0.7.0 now available for download. The major changes include maze-crawling tasks (https://asciinema.org/a/773240), new farming/tycoon game, improved color palette, new icons, and better AI powering NPCs.

Here's another version of the coral reef maze, this time with 2 AI crawlers (red Ps), i.e. hostile pirate ships. If they catch you, they'll force you to play their signature game: pirate shuffle

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 4 celebrates @ElPichon ! They're just a bird who likes to draw! They're also the developer behind The Bunny Graveyard II and Chunky JUMP!. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How Did You Learn Game Dev?

Hi, guys! I've recently uploaded to GJ my TUI pirate-themed game Pyrates. Written in Python, it was originally intended as a teaching aid for a course on software localization with gettext. By now it has evolved into a fun game in its own rights.

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 6 celebrates @Narwhalnut ! They program bugs (in the game Insectile)! We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What dev habit helps you the most?

On the treasure island, there is only one chest per row and per column. What's more only a chest with a specific characteristic contains anything valuable. This is what you get when you combine minesweeper with trial-and-error-based discovery in Pyrates

In Pyrates, the adventurer on the treasure island will propose to split the shared loot based on how much you contributed to your cooperation. So don't expect to earn a lot if you let others do al the work! That's another bit of AI built into the NPC.

Hi, guys! I've recently put up on GJ a pirate-themed game Pyrates. It's based on logical puzzles, but it has a roguelike feel to it. Fell free to check it out!
