    Hello everyone
    I am thrilled to announce that, with the collaboration between Daniel and me, my first official JSW game “Plants vs Zombies” is about to be released.
    It uses the JSW48 engine and, under Daniel's work, has many enhanced features.🙂
    This is a preview, because I still have some final preparations to make. Once I am ready, I will release the game.
    Stay tuned!

    I sure hope so because I had a one heck of a time trying to compile JSWED for MX Linux and I just hopped back to Mint recently. @UncleWan

    Hello and welcome,Cheez!🙂
    I'm really glad to know that you became interested in making JSW games because of my game.
    I don't use the Linux system, so I'm sorry I can't help you with this matter.Let's see what others have to say.🙂

    Hi. My name is Chelsea but you can call me Cheez. What brought me here is @UncleWan's PvZ JSW48 remake and I am curious about how to make kinda games.
    If you got any pointers on how to use JSWED on Linux (probably with Wine I would guess), I would appreciate it. Other than that, I hope to be friends with y'all. ❤️

    Hello everyone.  
    This is my first official JSW48K game, Plants vs Zombies.  
    This project is heavily inspired by the classic game Plants vs. Zombies officially developed by PopCap Games, drawing references to its character sprites, visual assets and original soundtracks.  
    In April 2025,l started the work of this project.
    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Daniel Gromann for his great support and contributions. He optimized and upgraded the game engine, integrated new background music together with complete audio playback logic, enriched the sprite resource library, designed more than ten extra game scenes, and finished the title screen design and other related content. I apologize if there are any unmentioned contributions.
    For more details, please read the 'ReadMe' in the file.🙂

    I have gone back to the original project by @fawtytoo as I could not get LOVE2D to work with a web browser using this great implementation of the game

    So I have added the record game option (push R) Play back via the (O)ptions Menu that also lets you select lives and level. Also has high score per level (S) on title screen 

    Pressing U in game saves progress. L on Title to select on 5 save slots

    Also runs on touch screen(Only test Android)

    UncleWan reacted to jetsetdanny in JSWED failing to launch after a recent Windows 11 update   
    A recent Windows 11 update - I believe it's the "2026-03 Update (KB5086672) (26200.8117)" to be precise - makes JSWED (all versions, I believe, I've checked the 2.3.7 and the 2.2.9 ones) fail to launch. When you try to launch the program, you get this error message:

    I contacted John Elliott about it and he very kindly responded quickly, explaining that _fmode_dll appears to be part of the Microsoft CRT library and that looking at the dependencies of JSWED, this seems to refer to CRTDLL.DLL in particular.
    John told me that the discussion at this link: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/windowsinsiderprogram/windows-11-build-26200-8116-broke-system-dll-crtdll-dll/4508785 seems to suggest that retrieving an earlier version of CRTDLL.DLL might help.   I have copied the CRTDLL.DLL file from an old laptop running on Windows 10 and I substituted with it the current file of the same name in the folders: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ and C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-crtdll_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.26100.1_none_82a9fe5e3ade4a14\.   You need to substitute the current file in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ or else JSWED won't launch. I'm not sure about the one in the C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-crtdll_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.26100.1_none_82a9fe5e3ade4a14\ folder (I first substituted the CRTDLL.DLL file in this particular folder and JSWED still wouldn't launch. It only started working after I substituted the file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\, so I can say with a 100% certainty that this latter substitution is critical; I wouldn't know about the former).   If anyone faces the same problem, the CRTDLL.DLL file from my old Windows 10 laptop that has worked for me is attached to this message. In order to make the swap, you will need to take ownership of the files (and perhaps also folder/s) in question from TrustedInstaller. This link explains how to do it: https://www.google.com/search?q=you+require+permission+from+trustedinstaller+to+make+changes+to+this+file+windows+11&sca_esv=e926bb0053f95734&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS820US820&sxsrf=ANbL-n6csLu1fdWc35Al3F1HC01pQzzddw%3A1776297342361&ei=fiXgacDYFdOqwbkPhbC32A0&biw=1920&bih=945&oq=you+require+permission+from+trustedinstaller+to+make+changes+to+this+file&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiSXlvdSByZXF1aXJlIHBlcm1pc3Npb24gZnJvbSB0cnVzdGVkaW5zdGFsbGVyIHRvIG1ha2UgY2hhbmdlcyB0byB0aGlzIGZpbGUqAggCMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMg0QABiABBiKBRhDGLADSOYSUABYAHABeAGQAQCYAQCgAQCqAQC4AQPIAQCYAgGgAgWYAwCIBgGQBgmSBwExoAcAsgcAuAcAwgcDMi0xyAcEgAgB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp .   Good luck and please let me know if this was helpful if you run into the same problem! 🙂    crtdll.dll

    UncleWan got a reaction from jetsetdanny in Does anyone know how I can play Manic Miner II for the Commodore Amiga?   
    There is a website called Lemon Amiga, which has a very complete collection of games. You can download an emulator, then download the game ROMs, and then play!😊
    This web link goes directly to the Manic Miner Commodore Amiga version:https://www.lemonamiga.com/game/manic-miner
    Additionally: I personally really dislike the Miner Willy series on the Amiga platform. I think they could have done a better port, but they messed it up (just my personal opinion).

    Hello Everyone !
    Here's an update on my next game "JSW IN LONDON".
    This game has 128 rooms.
    I've almost finished 92 of them (72%).
    I've found a good pace to make rapid progress. I've changed my approach to game design: I'm working on several rooms simultaneously and taking the time to optimize them as much as possible. That's why I don't consider them finished until the game itself is finalized after several tests.
    I'm also trying to create original rooms and traps to avoid any feeling of "déjà vu". It takes time, but it will give the game a unique identity. At least, I hope so, and you'll tell me!
    I'll be posting the first images of the rooms in the coming weeks.
    Have a great week!
    See you soon!
    Hervé
