Description Virtual Buffalo may look like a pet simulator, but don't be fooled: This bovid is always seconds away from death, and needs all your concentration just to survive another day! Press buttons with matching colors to complete a slog of split-second minigames. But be warned, the controls keep changing the longer you play! Will you be able to remember which button is which when they're all grayed out and switching places with each other? Instructions Supports Circle Pad, D-Pad, ABXY, or Touch controls. Colorblind Accessible Mode: From the main menu, press Down while holding L and R. Pause: Tap the Timer circle. (Takes effect between minigames.) Music Note Button: Toggles all music Speaker Button: Toggles all sound Striped Button: Toggles scan line overlay Lightning Button: Toggles flashing light effects Hard, Medium, Easy, Medium, Hard, Medium, Easy, 8, 6, 4, 6, 8, 6, 4, 4, 8, Easy, 4, 8, Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard Notes Cool Features:
  1. Fully animated characters and objects
  2. Procedurally generated music (Medium/Hard difficulty only)
  3. Multiple variations on rules per minigame
  4. CRT-style scan lines
  5. Original NES Font
  6. Local leaderboards
  7. Asynchronous "lazy loading" system (No loading screens!)
  8. Progressive difficulty
  9. Ability to toggle individual minigames (Disable the ones you hate, or practice 1 on 1 until you've mastered them)
Credit for the "Lullabye" and "Easy Mode" melodies go to Plastiware and Marjask respectively.

Programming Strength Great Page Hidden Achievements Night Person I like the quiet night and sleep late. Express Yourself It's kinda strange. I've taken down my old Win6Mix project and for some reason, SBAPI keeps the information of its key though it doesn't exist anymore. I was perfectly able to look at all files and download a zip containing them though you cannot download the project anymore. Look at it yourself. Though I guess SBAPI will notice it and delete the info as it refreshes the info, like download times every day. (Speculation!!!) The REMOVED "key" will just lock up saying something like "Loading..." (I've changed the text on my SiteJS.) HTV04 HTV04 Forum Leader Hidden Achievements Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Probably because the data is still on the server, either that or your computer has a copy of the project in its cache.

HTV04 HTV04 Forum Leader Hidden Achievements Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there.

Same thing happened with Spooky Maze, it scared me for a few minutes before I checked it with the SBAPI website. I guess some projects (or keys) are in a different format? kantackistan kantackistan It seems like the key still works but if it drops off for real let me know and I'll get it back up.

HTV04 HTV04 Forum Leader Hidden Achievements Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength I've never seen an instance where a key expired. I've only seen keys get taken down for copyright or inappropriate content. kantackistan kantackistan Precisely. That's why I have backups for Virtual Buffalo and Super Bearland respectively. HTV04 HTV04 Forum Leader Hidden Achievements Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength I see. But by backups, do you mean a copy stored on your SD card or another public key? kantackistan kantackistan Both, but more importantly I have backups of the code on PC and web drives HTV04 HTV04 Forum Leader Hidden Achievements Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Now that's dedication. My only backup for anything I post is the original project/file that I uploaded (which I basically overwrite with a new version anyway, if I make one) You shouldn't really worry if anything happens to your SD card though. Even if your key gets taken down, the file still remains uploaded to SmileBoom's servers. kantackistan kantackistan Not worried about losing the work, just keeping backups for redistribution if SmileBoom removes them or shuts down the servers.

Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website I know I beat all the presets. Also, this is on easy and therefore less impressive lol kantackistan kantackistan Nah if there's one thing I've learned from playtesting it's that even Easy is difficult. I think the next iteration will give you more control over the difficulty, maybe even the tempo. rando rando Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website I find easy easier than the rest because I have time to think, like how it stops for switching around buttons. The other ones just switch quickly when the next minigame starts and it's kinda hard to check that and complete the minigame, making them harder. kantackistan kantackistan Don't get me wrong, it's the easiest mode of the 3. But I still wouldn't say it's truly easy, especially for new players. rando rando Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website Oh, I didn't understand what you were saying lol I guess that's true lol I also like how you incorporated music into this game. Music is a big part of me, and this game really incorporated rythm and all of that stuff, like in the drum minigame. I loved that. And the music is truely amazing Even the random generated stuff. How did you do that? Vakore Vakore Music is pretty good. Did you find tutorials online or did you just use trial and error to make youraelf(props to your friends and well) rando rando Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website Are you talking to kantackistan? If not, idk what you are talking about. kantackistan kantackistan The main menu theme was written by Plastiware, and Marjask collaborated with me on the music for Easy difficulty. I did the rest of it though. (No tutorials, I just typed it out. It's not that different from writing sheet music.) The random music generator for Medium/Hard difficulty is... really complicated. Probably can't explain it all in one comment, but in short each snippet of MCA is carefully written to sound good when played alongside every other snippet. rando rando Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website I think I get it. So you have bits of music that are played randomly, and you have the music set up so that the cords sound good. Sound simple enough lol kantackistan kantackistan That's the foundation of the idea, but there are a lot more moving parts. A melody is programmed so it's less likely to play twice in a row, only specific instruments are allowed, you have to make sure that the metaphorical pianists never try to play the same metaphorical key at the same time... rando rando Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website yeah all of the stuff about making it a good song lol kantackistan kantackistan Except that it's a linear growth thing. I can only add a part if it sounds good with the rest of them, and the list keeps getting longer the more pieces I add. I had to scrap multiple pieces because they only sounded good with 90% of the others. It's 100% or nothing rando rando Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Avatar Taboo I didn't change my avatar for 180 days Website nice Vakore Vakore So where did you learn to write sheet music?

And of course, I'll credit you if I release a program with the effect. Thanks! kantackistan kantackistan Go right ahead: It's just two very tall, skinny sprites that alternate white and transparent pixels. Then stretch them really wide. (Don't forget to make it wider than the top screen for when the 3D is on.) Make them mostly transparent, I think 40% alpha, and turn on additive synthesis.

  1. Fixed minigame timer breaking after SmileBasic 3.6.0 patch
    1. 1.0.5 should still work even without the 3.6.0 patch
  2. Pausing is now possible on Hard Difficulty:
    1. (Does not take effect until current minigame is complete)
  3. Adjusted music volume to be 10% quieter
  4. Added subtle fade-in transition when starting a new minigame
  5. Wrapped all SPSHOW/SPHIDE statements for future proofing
  6. General optimizations and code cleanup
  1. Saves from previous versions are still compatible
 kantackistan kantackistan Be advised: After updating to version 3.6.0, Virtual Buffalo will cease to work properly. Changes to the MML system have broken many of the timing-based functions.

Express Yourself What changed in 3.6? Is this documented anywhere or did you find it yourself? kantackistan kantackistan It's tied to the changes made to BGMCHK(). Was using it to keep the music and minigames synced up until the music ended, but after updating it's too efficient. So minigames run for 16 beats instead of 8. Nearly done with the patch. 12Me21 12Me21 Syntax Highlighter Received for creating the code syntax highlighter on SBS Night Person I like the quiet night and sleep late.
