Filter games by platform

[AndreasHae]

It would be nice to have the ability to filter games by available platforms. For example, I as a Linux user have to click through games manually to find games I can play and rate. A platform filter would simplify that process.

It appears to be this endpoint https://api.ldjam.com/vx/node/feed/#####/smart+parent/item/game/compo+jam?limit=24 that would need to support it

Can you get me off from the email list? I don't wanna get over 30 emails in a day. There is no ang option on website.

That's your GitHub settings. At the bottom of the e-mail is a mute link.

@Frozenfire92 take a look at https://github.com/ludumdare/ludumdare/blob/master/src/com/content-games/filter.js and how the other filters work there. Basically you would need to have the list of platforms and an All option and then build relevant filter depending on it and integrate with all existing dropdowns... I think.

I found that someone create a website for this. Here is the [link]

I create a userscript to help me filter games. download [here]

The API is this one ( ##### = Game ID)

https://api.ldjam.com/vx/node/get/#####+#####+#####+#####.....

you can find platform in the response => node => meta => link-##-tag

Each time it fetches 24 games
node[0~23].meta.link-01-tag = 42332
node[0~23].meta.link-02-tag = 42336
node[0~23].meta.link-03-tag = #####
node[0~23].meta.link-04-tag = #####
(##### = Platform ID)

And here is the platform list

https://api.ldjam.com/vx/tag/get/platform

Response:

{ ...,
"tag":[{"id":42332,"slug":"source-code","name":"Source code","icon":"file-text"},
{"id":42336,"slug":"html5-web","name":"HTML5 (web)","icon":"html5"},
{"id":42337,"slug":"microsoft-windows","name":"Windows","icon":"windows"},
{"id":42339,"slug":"apple-mac","name":"macOS","icon":"apple"},
{"id":42341,"slug":"linux","name":"Linux","icon":"linux"},
...}

So I use userscript to hook the request, check each link-0x-tag, match them with platform ID, add different "class" to each blocks and filter them by platform.

[local-minimum]

True, that would work as an intermediate solution, but there should be a way to build the request so that you only get the right games from start.

There is also this site: http://tmtg.nl/ld41/index.php

I tried to find what this is a duplicate of without finding it.

[hsandt]

@crs38c28 I couldn't make your userscript work with TamperMonkey, more exactly I installed the script which showed the platform filter panel correctly, but clicking on Update did nothing, all the games still show normally. I couldn't see anything special in the debug console.

I tried with both LD41 and LD45 (after replacing "41" with "*" in the url match pattern at the top of the script).

[suve]

So looking at the code, one would need to modify public-api/nx/node.php to recognize the request parameters and then modify src/shrub/src/node/node_feed.php to make it possible to pass platform info to the nodeFeed_GetBy* functions.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to make some kind of NodeFeedConfig class and fill it with values, instead of having a function that takes 8 parameters. Or maybe re-write this functionality to some kind of NodeFeedFetcher class, where the calling code would set the class properties and then call ->fetch() when done.

[pfoof]

Is it already implemented into the actual website? Because I can't find the filter

I made a userscript to detect HTML5 game : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/rescue-turtles-1/displays-border-if-game-is-html5-or-not

[mikekasprzak]

@pfoof It's disabled at the moment but I did managed to get the new filter code is merged in on Saturday. I need to run a script on all the data to convert the format first, then test it some more. Hopefully it's live soon, but my focus right now is trying to make sure we survive Submission Hour this evening.
