Free source code

The source code for a number of my games is now freely available for anyone to download or use. This is mostly to assist newcomers to Defold in how to do basic stuff, but anyone is welcome to have a look.

Bare in mind there are usually multiple ways to program things and I may not have always used the best way - I tend to use simplistic methods where possible.

The repositry can be found here - https://github.com/benjames-171/defold-games

And lastly a bit of advice: try and understand code you cut and paste, you’ll be glad you took the time in the long run.

Any questions or problems, I’ll be here.

Thanks for posting these Ben! I’m new to the Defold engine, and programing in general. These games are inspirational and look like a great starting place.

P.S. Heli-Rescue is SUPER addictive!

Fantastic list of games. Really useful to learn how things were made by playing and then dipping into the source. Is there a list of playable versions of all the games somewhere?
