Clickmazes - Puzzlescript collection

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 non-pixel sprites 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 pioneered the first proof-of-concept.

The new functionality is currently in a state of flux and may change without warning, but the following apps all demonstrate the basic principle and can be explored further by clicking on the PSNext hack-link... FlipTiles, Ed Pegg's OTHER WAY mazes, Hysteresis key and Marble-tilt.
