Whew! What a week! @spritely got in its #lispgamejam entry: a p2p party game called PolyDraw! Draw the word you're given but... you can only draw with twenty triangles in one minute! https://davexunit.itch.io/polydraw

The game is REALLY fun, I've played it with several groups now and:

- It's built using #spritely tech! Goblins, Hoot, OCapN!
- It's fully end-to-end encrypted! The only people who know what's being drawn are the players!
- It's REALLY FUN!

Blog post coming soonish but: try it with friends! Let us know what you think!

@cwebber @spritely feedback:
* let a lone player discover the draw UI without having to open 2 browsers (makes them more likely to play)
* message that tells the user when the other side has been disconnected
* prevent accidentally navigating away during a started game
* on the host the invite URI copy button did nothing for me

@phairupegiont @spritely Thank you! This is good feedback! (And hm weird, the disconnected notification bit should work, but apparently didn't.)

Did you have fun?

This game was largely coded by @dthompson and is, I think, a lovely little feat to be pulled off in a week. It also has music by @encryptedwhispers / @vv, the word list is curated by @mlemweb, and it has a bunch of custom animations by me!

And the end-to-end encryption is thanks to @tsyesika's recent support for end-to-end encryption in OCapN / Goblins!

Also thank you to Ursula Kurdali for the Stop Motion add-on for Blender, which I used to make all the animations https://github.com/bkurdali/Stop-Motion-Blender-Addon/

If you've never used any software @spritely's made before well, why not have this be your first time? It's really easy to pick up and try it! I recommend hopping on a voice call with friends and play the game together! https://davexunit.itch.io/polydraw

You'll have so much fun you'll have to stop and be like "wait a minute, this is all happening as a demonstration of powerful distributed network tech stuff! it's all end-to-end encrypted!"

It's easy to forget about it because you're just having fun with the game! Which is a good feature!

Even if you don't play the game you should start it up and watch the intro screen animations and listen to the music imo ;)
