Thanks to the traffic from this article, I discovered that my game was eagerly downloading a 9 MB WAV file even when music was disabled. π
I have now switched it to a 1.7 MB MP3 and load it only when the player actually enables music.
So the article ended up improving not only my nostalgia project, but also my Cloud Run bill. π
Nice! Itβs fun and a great brain exercise π You were already a great developer even 12 years ago!
Oh, thanks! That warms my heart π
Funny enough, after all these years, level 4 was still the one I struggled with the most π
Btw, did you try the music? It's a true masterpiece... which is exactly why I had to switch it off after one level π
Yes, I checked the music. The music makes the game even more exciting! π΅πΆ
Daniel, this was a fun read. There is something satisfying about bringing an old project back to life and seeing what still holds up years later. Looks like those last 7% of Copilot tokens went to a good cause π
Thank you, Iβm glad you liked it!
Yep, probably the best use of my last 7% of Copilot tokens. π It was fun to migrate it and even more fun to play it again after all these years!
Thanks. Now, instead of working, I'm playing Easter Game π And I suspect I'm not the only one.
I just hope those few stickers were worth the destruction of the entire IT industry π
Yesterday I couldn't finish level 4, so I ended up spending about 20 minutes playing it myself ππ
Looks like the plan is working. One developer at a time, I will destroy them all! ππ
This was such a fun read. I love the idea of using your last bit of Copilot tokens to revive an old university project instead of starting something new from scratch.
Thereβs something really cool about looking back at old code and realising younger you actually made some solid architecture choices. Also, porting a WinForms puzzle game to the browser while keeping the original feel is a great use of AI as an assistant, not the whole builder.
Do you think youβll keep adding levels to it now that itβs alive again?
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! π
If the game gets some natural traffic and people enjoy it, then why not? Creating puzzle levels is a lot of fun and it would be nice to give this old project a bit more life after all these years.
Ngl, such a nice game <3
Thanks! I'm glad you like it π
Very enjoyable π
Oh, thanks! π I'm glad that such an old game is getting so much positive feedback. π
