ADV 1.0: online play

ADV 1.0 is here! 🎮

ADV is a little fantasy console: a pretend retro games machine with a 128 x 128 screen, chip sound, and cartridges that are pictures you can share. Play it in your browser at https://ilikehomeassistant.github.io/adv-web/, or download it below.

New in 1.0

• Online play. Up to four ADVs in one game: Windows, Android and the web, all mixed. On a game's title screen, press up to host and send your friend the code; they press down and type it in. On the same Wi-Fi you don't even need the code. Only button presses are sent: no names, no chat.
• The modem under the console: watch your buttons run down its ribbon, and your friends' come back up.
• New games: Blob Bump (sumo blobs for up to four, online), Tank Duel, Box Shove and Road Rush.
• More in every game: arenas and chill berries in Noodle, power-ups in Space Rubble, skill levels and power orbs in Zap Rally, medals and night in Flapjack, beetles and smart bombs in Bug Storm, modes in Echo Pads, 5 levels in Smashbox...
• Jumpy's big adventure: four worlds, a world map, secret stars and the Slime King.
• Game controllers on Windows, the web and Android.
• LEARN: a lesson that walks you through making your first game.
• ADV Lite for your own website now fits any size (?responsive=false keeps the handheld).
• One set of buttons everywhere: arrows, Z and X.

ADV v0.8: more games and a bigger game kit

New online games: star blaster, paddle duel (2 players), flap, sky hop and copycat. Snake gets golden apples and stones, rocks gets a UFO and hyperspace, and coin cave is twice as long.

The game kit (IT IS... in the sprite editor) has five new things: BOUNCY (springs), CLIMB (ladders and vines), HEART, SAVE (start again from here) and FLYER (an enemy that flies).
