CardJump Mac OS
The current Mac operating system is macOS, originally named 'Mac OS X' until 2012 and then 'OS X' until 2016. Developed between 1997 and 2001 after Apple's purchase of NeXT, Mac OS X brought an entirely new architecture based on NeXTSTEP, a Unix system, that eliminated many of the technical challenges that the classic Mac OS faced.

Developing a Card based Platformer Game
This weekend I participated again in the one-hour-game-jam, and created: CardJump, the card based platformer:
https://idoadler.itch.io/cardjump
The theme of the jam was running, and I thought about developing a runner game where your actions are decided by cards.
Development process
When this idea came to me, I felt that it actually was a horrible idea. I felt that it’s not going to work, that it’s not going to be fun to play, and that it’s not achievable in one hour.
On the other hand I felt that it would be fun to try – that it could be a failure I will be proud to have for a one-hour-game-jam. After all, when else can I give such a crazy idea a shot if not in an 1-hour-jam?
In this video you can see my process while making this game in Unity:

Results and conclusions
So, surprisingly I made it, surprisingly it’s kind of fun. But I can see some issues with this game style: it’s very hard to balance, and it becomes a bit too chaotic.
You might notice that the art took as much time as programming for this project.
I learned how to use unity’s new cinemachine 2d camera.

Thoughts on how to develop this idea further:
- Deck building!
- Different weapons for different scenarios
- Different loading times for different cards
- Make it an endless runner instead of a platformer
- Make a pipe-dreams style game, where you put the card on the surface
