Game made in ADA

General
1

hey everyone! I just made a game in ada for the gmtk game jam! It’s prolly not the greatest game ever but it was the first thing I actually really worked aside from little things. I thought this was a great way to test my knowlege from learning the language and i had a great time with it. If you wanna check it out and maybe rate it for the game jam you are more than welcome. Though I’ve only checked it on windows so idk how or if it will work on other systems so be aware of that. Loop of Life by SabeDoesThings

Nice going. I’m trying to make a game in Ada also.

Btw … ADA – Ada Doesn’t Acronym

(Sorry, I’ve got TPB (the pedantic bug)) … :slightly_smiling_face:

We like to see the Ada source code. I’ve found it here: GitHub - SabeDoesThings/Loop-of-Life-src: source code for my gmtk 2025 submission Loop of Life

I tried to compile it using the sdlada crate, but it seems to require another binding or another version of the same binding:

loop_of_life.adb:4:06: error: file "sdl-mixer.ads" not found

yeah sdl-mixer is a separate binding so you would have to add it. So that could be the problem GitHub - ada-game-framework/sdlada_mixer: Ada bindings to the sdl2-mixer library.

I’ve sent you a pull request to make it easy to build with Alire, fix the portability of a filename to make it work under Linux (and other Unix-like systems), and a GitHub action to build an AppImage executable for Linux and upload it to the Releases section.
