Type for Treat! Get your Halloween goodies and practice your typing at the same time! 

Play as a ghost (I promise it’s not a kid with a blanket over his head) going trick or treating around his neighborhood with his mom and dad.

Collect candies from each house by typing out words then catching them in your goodies bag. But be careful, some of your neighbors are giving away tooth brushes and tooth paste too, yuck!

Upgrade your gear with the goods from the vampire (AKA dad). He only accepts candy, so you better stock up. 
 If you need help, mom, I mean, the vampire queen is just around the corner with some tips!

 Had a blast making this game and learned a ton. Super happy I went into this challenge despite barely having enough time. Excited to share more about what I learned in the future when things slow down.

All the designs come from Ivan Dubovik (https://www.instagram.com/vandubovik/?hl=en). All of the game mechanics + Shaders were made using Rive CLI in Cursor. Animations by me. 

Hope you have fun with it, and let me know what your high score is!

Great job, Caleb! I gave it a try, but it’s really hard to play, even though I’m familiar with touch typing. I think the candies should fall more slowly, or maybe the bowl at the bottom should be removed to make it a bit easier.

🎃 EMBERWICK: The Night That Wouldn't End

👻 A third-person ghost story for Halloween night, playable in the browser. You are the Lamplighter, carrying the Glim: a lantern with three lights. 💡 LIGHT shows what is 🌊 ECHO shows what was 🔮 HAUNT shows what the town remembers Each light physically changes the world, so you solve the town by comparing the three, across four acts and three endings.

Features used: both the Rive CLI and GPU Canvas.

How Rive is used • The whole HUD is a Rive file written as RML with a coding agent and built with the Rive CLI (verify, publish, push). • One state machine with seven layers runs it: Mode, Prompt, Subtitles, Token, Memory, Act Complete and Ambient. • A Game State view model with 15 data-bound properties is fed live by the three.js game: the current light, objective, counter, prompts, subtitles and a mode-switch trigger. • "Echo Veil" is a full-screen WGSL shader drawn on GPU Canvas through a Luau node script. It reacts to the active light and ripples on every switch. • Click listeners inside the file let you switch the three lights on the Rive page itself, no game needed. • The HUD was then refined by hand in the Rive Editor: the mode pips, lettering and the timing of the switch animation.

🎮 Play it: https://emberwick1.netlify.app/street.html ⌨️ Controls: WASD to move, E to interact, 1 / 2 / 3 to switch lights.
