FUZE4: Code games on Nintendo Switch
-
There's an app on the Switch eShop called FUZE4, which lets you write actual code and run it on the switch directly! You can control it with the onscreen keyboard, or plug in a USB one too for faster coding.
eShop page: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/fuze4-nintendo-switch-switch/
You can switch really quickly between the code editor and running the code, which is important for iterating and learning.
Also, I can answer any questions if needed about some of the functionality, the coding language is similar to Python but a little simpler (like BASIC).

this could really help people that modify switches

Here's a review from another developer: https://www.g33kchris.net/blog/fuze-4-switch-review

It sounds very interseting. i was just looking at it a few days before you posted this because i was looking for some way around using bdns to code on switch. the only reason i wouldn't get it is because its a proprietary language and i'd rather learn html, css and js then som random language tha won't be useful outside of the game. still sounds cool though, and maybe i'll try it as a supplement for learning html, css and js.

It is proprietary, but the language is similar to python, so most concepts will carry over into other engines.
It reminds me most of using pygame on PC: https://www.patternsgameprog.com/series/discover-python-and-patterns/ with the input loop, game logic and displaying text/graphics

@VGMoose That's very cool! I wouldn't expect something like that to exist on a gaming console honestly.
@Almond
Yeah same, especially because nintendo moderates all of the games on eshop.Do not go gentle into that goodnight...

@danniltrifonov that's a stretch... some of the stuff I've seen on the item shop is straight slop
@Almond they only do tos assurance not quality assurance anymore

@VGMoose woah interesting. i assume it has no network support or anything like that though, right?

Yeah i don't think it does, plus the review VGmoose linked said that theres no support for importing or exporting anything. i assume theres no API's either.

@danniltrifonov sadd tho seems fun as long as it has support for like all types and things so u can basically anything technically. like i mean hopefully not anything like the generic "Number" nonsense that lua has rather than actual ints and stuff. also wonder if it's compiled, transpiled, or evaluated at runtime.

@VGMoose Ok! Thanks I Was Looking For This!

There's a FUZE4 forum too, and they've announced that they're hosting a Gamejam ending on June 1st: https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/2233/fuze-gamejam-36-theme-move
Their forum is also on nodebb which makes it look similar to ours
I don't see any networking options, although you can share your code with others. It supports controllers and touch, including oddly enough the IR camera on the joycon. So you could do local co-op, at least. Maybe the limitations there are enforced by Nintendo.
There's a $1 "player" app, so others can use that to play your games without buying FUZE4 itself. Although, it feels like this should be free! That would make it easier to spread games: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/fuze-player-switch/

@VGMoose It Should Be Free I Think So Also
