notice

MiniKiwiWare's engine is finished and ready to be modded. The full game, which will contain the best of fellow Scratchers' custom microprojects submitted to the official studio and this forum, will be released on a to-be-determined date. A beta version of this full release, containing microprojects set to be included in the full version, has been created (see below.) If you'd like to make your own microproject and submit it to be considered for inclusion in the full game, see below.

Note that not every microproject submitted will be included in the full game.

Are you tired of making and playing games? Like, making and playing really big games that take longer than four seconds to complete?

Well, tire no more, because MiniKiwiWare is the only real solution to your problem, according to expert surveys. (Expert surveys paid for by the MiniKiwiGeek Corporation). MiniKiwiWare is an in-development WarioWare clone, which will contain the best microgames (or rather microPROJECTS) sent in by fellow Scratchers using the easy-to-mod MiniKiwiWare Engine.

How to Enter
The engine used to make your own microprojects has already been created by @minikiwigeek2. If you'd like to create a microgame and want to submit it to be considered for inclusion in the full game, here's how you do that:

1.) Remix the blank template project.
2.) Click “see inside”.
3.) Refer to the comments left inside the project for further details on how to make a microproject.
4.) Once you've finished making your microproject, click Share. Title your remixed project under the name of "MiniKiwiWare Mod - “. For example, if your microproject's name is Super Donut Land, title your remixed project ”MiniKiwiWare Mod - Super Donut Land".
5.) Post a link to your game on this topic, with a note attached specifying whether you want it to be considered for inclusion in the full game or not.
6.) If you want your game to be submitted for consideration to be included in the full game: Post a link to your game in the comments section of the official studio (see above).

Once enough submissions have been received, I'll review the submitted microprojects, and the best ones sent in will be compiled into an upcoming full game!

FAQ

Q.) I want to make a microproject, but I don't want it to be included in the full game.
A.) That's fine, just disregard the last step of the “How to Enter” page.
Q.) When will the full game come out?
A.) No idea, it'll be done when enough submissions have been received that I'm happy with.

list of microgames
this is a list of every single microgame that has been completed that will likely be included in the full version.
all microprojects, unless otherwise noted, were created by @minikiwigeek2

01 - Click to Win
a simple microproject where you click a button and win instantly. created as a test to demonstrate the minikiwiware engine in action.

inclusion in the full game: uncertain. this is the only game i'm going to put on this list that is going to be marked as uncertain. maybe it will, maybe it won't. i might make it harder if it is added, but who knows? we'll just have to wait and see.

02 - Record Scratch

the first real microproject, where you have to stop a spinning record (yes, it's a record, i know it looks like an unfinished pizza.) on the red wedge. if it lands on the white wedge, you're out! this microproject was inspired by an official warioware microgame.

03 - Jump by @Marc92020


in this microproject, you control a player attempting to avoid a car which is, well, obviously very evil. to avoid the evil car, you click the screen to jump over it in time. but be careful, because the car can speed toward the player at any moment, so you have to be prepared.

04 - Clap Tomato by @Rodri-


this is the first microproject where the player uses the space bar. a tomato will drop from the ceiling, either slowly or quickly, and your goal is to catch it in time by pressing the space bar.

requirements for making microprojects
you only have to follow these rules if you want your microproject to be considered for inclusion in the full game.

this is a copy-and-paste of the requirements list from the minikiwiware engine editor comment.

1.) Every Sprite included with your microproject must be hidden and all scripts within them must be stopped by the time the beat variable reaches 9.
1A.) Clones may be used, as long as every clone is deleted by the time the beat variable reaches 9.

2.) Your microproject can use the keyboard or mouse, but not both.
2A.) Your custom Prompt costume must clearly specify whether to use the keyboard or the mouse, as shown in the “01 Prompt” Sprite.
2B.) If your microproject uses the keyboard: the less keys being used, the better.

3.) Your microproject must have just one clear objective which is clearly stated in one to four words by the Prompt sprite. The less words the better.

4.) Your microproject must be completable in eight beats or less.

5.) When the microproject's objective has been fulfilled, the “WIN” variable must be set to 1.

6.) When the microproject's objective has not been fulfilled, either due to running out of time to complete the microproject or due to incorrectly performing the microproject's objective, the “LOSE” variable must be set to 1. (The first situation has already been coded in for you.)

7.) Microgames where the objective is to not do anything will not be accepted.

8.) Microgames that change anything other than what you are specifically told to modify will not be accepted.

9.) Don't include any title screens or options in your game, we want the microgame to immediately start.

10.) Any microgames that don't fit the Community Guidelines will not be accepted.

11.) While not necessarily a requirement, I'd appreciate it if the costumes for your microproject only use two colors - white, with a hex code of #FFFFFF, or light blue, with a hex code of #00b7ff. Again, not a requirement, just something I'd appreciate.

12.) While not necessarily a requirement, when you've finished making your microproject, ask in the comments for it to be added to the MiniKiwiWare Submissions studio, and make a post about it on the official forum topic (both of which are linked in the Notes and Credits)! I'd love to see what you guys come up with.

13.) Feel free to make as many microprojects as you like, but only one microproject per user will be included in the full game. This rule may be altered on a case-by case basis. If you plan to make more than one microproject, remix this project for each individual microproject you're making.

14.) Make sure your game is bug-free.

15.) If creating any custom blocks, broadcasts or variables for usage in your microproject, make sure that it's name name is ": “.

16.) Microprojects containing assets or code from other Scratch users without their prior permission is not allowed. Using tutorials is discouraged, but acceptable as long as you credit the creator of the tutorial somewhere.

17.) While not necessarily a requirement, it'd be really appreciated if the background music you use in your microproject fits the tempo and speed of the intermission beats so it all fits together nicely.

18.) Feel free to switch the backdrop for your microgame through the ”EDIT ME//Template“ Sprite, but you may only change the backdrop when ” start“ has been received, and when the microgame is over, the stage must immediately switch back to the standard ”costume1" backdrop. Some code to automatically switch the backdrop back to normal has been added in for you.

might hopefully make a new microproject for the sample project, which will later be part of the full game instead of being “click here to win!!!1!!1”

by the way, should this be moved to show and tell? or is it fine in collaborations?

new microproject added!
02 - Record Scratch

a new microproject has been added to the beta version of MiniKiwiWare! this will be a playable microproject upon the full version's release. go check out the beta and let us know what you think!

in this microproject, a record spins, and you have to click to stop the record. if the arrow touches the red part of the record, you win! if it touches the white part, you lose. simple!

i wanna join but i have no ideas :skull:

if you want ideas, there's plenty of official warioware microgames that you could try remaking (or at least drawing inspiration from). that's how i came up with 01 - record scratch.

here's a video containing every single warioware gold microgame if you want to do that.

and by the way, thank you so much for your interest!

that's totally cool with me!

i'm considering seeing if there's some kind of way to implement an option in the engine for whether you want your microgame to be normal sized (eight beats) or longer sized (16 beats) since warioware diy let you do that.

no guarantees that such a thing will ever see the light of day, though.

this actually seems like a really cool concept
i might make something like an incredibly simple catch game, like one made of basic scripts and the sprite library as a half-joke

What about a traffic dodging game? (Like, unpredictable and really difficult?
