Open Source PB games
« on: February 24, 2020, 07:06:40 PM »
Opensource games on the PB explore have always been limited to games using only built-in resources. But since sandbox levels received full game setup capatibility, I've noticed that there are a few sandbox games using custom sprites and game setup stuff. Well, why is it that games with custom resources can't be opensouce, but sandbox games can? I almost put this in bugs and glitches, but I decided not to. Thanks!

Thanks for spotting this. I will need to determine what to do about opens source sandbox games.

Well, because it takes much more effort to make a game with custom resources, and players might not want to open source their games ?
I mean, for what reason you would make ASM opensource ?

For those who want to, that'd be nice. BTW, TingThing, I'd leave sandboxes the way they are.
