No really Excel games! http://ronenix.com/2007/01/29/excel-games-no-really-excel-games/ http://ronenix.com/2007/01/29/excel-games-no-really-excel-games/#comments Mon, 29 Jan 2007 17:15:00 +0000 Ron http://ronenix.com/?p=19 It seems the title has off with making it exaggerated but new you can go make games from one of Microsoft’s office tools: Excel. Funny as it may seem Super Llama over at GameDev has done something like this. If you head over there (links at the bottom of post), read up on the mini tutorial and notes on how to run the game in excel.
The game uses VB macro system, and tells you at the end of the article how to set this to work on your Excel sheets if you insist on making an excel game for your own.
My thought is that if I have available time to spare I would get in and reproduce a simple copy of Tetris or Breakout. By manipulating each cell colour like its been done on this demo, you sure would be able to make blocks moveable and seem animated.

I’m more interested in the final comments of the page
