Web Desktop #781
Description
Describe the example
A GDevelop Example that mimics a Windows Desktop OS.
Users can interact with a "draggable window", which originally had up to 3 windows that would change its layering/z-ordering dynamically, but I scrapped it as:
- The logic was becoming too complex, I wanted the logic to stay as simple.
- I feel like it COULD have been simpler, but so many issues popped up such as the windows getting stuck to the wrong object among other issues.
The window can be opened and closed by using the "Notepad" icon.
Users can also change the background and switch between three in total, one of the backgrounds is a simple sprite, though two of the backgrounds are "Tiled sprites". There is also a 24-hour clock in the bottom right corner.
Some icons will send the player to external websites (the "opens a new window" icon is shown on the appropriate object) external links will include:
- GDevelops linktr.ee
- Links to "gd-web-template.com" (same template but shown running on its own domain)
- My website includes resources on how to export a GDevelop HTML file and link it to a custom domain (IN PROGRESS)
- Meet Lillian (info about the character used in the template and her usage licence)
My secondary goal is to show that GDevelop can be used to make websites. As an active Wix and WordPress user, I think GDevelop could be another valid alternative for making websites with all the strengths of a game engine.
