Guys,

I'm blown away by all the templates here. I absolutely love these powerpoint games but I want to use something a bit more modern and user-friendly. So, I decided to put my developer skills to good use and I made a web app. You can find it here: www.baamgame.com I don't want to come across as a spammer, I've actually been a member/lurker here for years, but do check it out and let me know what you think :)

Cheers,
Ronan

This is incredible. What programming language did you work in primarily? Is this JavaScript?

Amazing work. Practically blows all of these PPT templates out of the water. Hope I get as good as this someday with my own developer skills!

Thanks so much for the contribution!!

Such a nice response, thank you!

The front-end is your typical html/js/css build and the back-end is powered by PHP Laravel. What you see now is just the prototype - there are some big features coming pretty soon to make creating, sharing and customizing games an absolute breeze.

Thanks again for the kind words! If you ever need any development help just drop me a message on the site!

Dude, thanks so much, I may take you up on that offer! I could definitely use an expert's help!

Where are you in Korea exactly? Did you know that there's a programmer's meetup group in Busan?

Click here: Busan Coders.

There's also a Free Code Camp group that's meeting up in Busan very soon. Click here.

I attend both usually. If you're ever in this area, let me know and I'll hook you up!

Thanks for the kind reply, Ronan! I appreciate it!

Sincerely,

Todd

Well I'm sorry to say but I've left Korea (Ulsan/Busan) and am now teaching in Ho Chi Minh. But I'm only a message away if you're ever stuck, seriously.

I wish I knew about coder meetups when I was there, sounds fun!

Have a good week,
Ronan

Aw, bummer!! :(

In any case, PM me Flutter. I'd like to speak with you over Facebook and maybe Skype. Perhaps we can do some serious networking between the two of us. Who knows where it might lead. Send me your username, and I'll get in touch.

Thanks so much again, Ronan, for your super-nice offer to help! It's really awesome of you, and I appreciate it!

Sincerely,

Todd

Superb. Shame I'm leaving soon as this looks really promising and time saving.

Wow! The potential this has.

Looking forward to seeing it's development.

This is awesome! Looking forward to the create your own game option!

Flutter1 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2015, 07:57:02 PM »

Thanks for the encouraging replies guys! Development is coming along really nicely on the Game Creator. I'll be back with more updates soon :)

Flutter1 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 26, 2015, 03:53:41 PM »

As promised, here's a little behind the scenes look at how the game is coming along. I'm working round the clock to get it to you as soon as possible!

Flutter1 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2015, 11:03:18 AM »

Hey everyone, it's been two weeks since the last update so I'm back with more.

It's now super simple to create, share and search for games. I won't go into the details but I really hope you like what you see in the screenshots.

Awesome site
thanks very much, I will keep an eye on this site

damocha · « **Reply #13 on:** September 18, 2015, 05:04:57 PM »

Suuuuuuuper excited for this!

wovaki · « **Reply #14 on:** September 18, 2015, 05:55:11 PM »

Nice job! I actually had thought about this before...unfortunately I never had the time to get anywhere past "that's a good idea, I should do that!" haha

Just out of curiosity, who are you using for your host?

Sorry, got a bit off-topic. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this as well. I think it'll be awesome once users are able to make their own (and hopefully share?) bomb games. Keep up the good work!

Aww people, I'm glad to see the positive responses this is getting.

You'll be glad to know that the vast majority of the app is now done. You can create and share a game in a matter of minutes. It's designed to be super simple and it looks gorgeous, even if I do say so myself.

I've got a section featuring the best games made by the community. These will all have been hand-picked so you never have to waste time looking for what you want and everything will be appropriate for the classroom.

There's also a search function to get a hold of other users games instantly, no need to go reinventing the wheel, right?

Did I mention it works perfectly on mobile? You can create, edit or find games on the fly, just as you would on a computer or laptop.

Here are some screenshots - I just can't wait till you guys get a hold of it :)

*LOL* I thought most coders met 'underground' on the dark web.=) Coder meets? *LOL*

Wow! This is amazing! You are truly talented. I will definitely use this in my classroom. I will subscribe. Im excited and interested to see where this leads. I put the website in my favorites. Good luck and thanks!

Hey everyone, just wondering if the game is working ok for you in Korea? I was informed yesterday that it's blocked in some schools. :(

That may be because of the word 'game' in the url, in which case I'll just rename it.

PS. Sooo unbelievably close to getting the game maker to you :)

Flutter1 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 02, 2015, 11:20:11 AM »

Great news everyone! I'm now ready to take on some users to make their very own games! This will be a quick little closed beta before I push the game out to everyone else.

Message me here or on baamgame.com if you want in.

So exicted!
