Hello, this is a tower defense game I made with my tiny game engine SAF.

You can compile and upload the game with Arduino IDE:

  1. set up Arduino IDE for Nibble
  2. create a sketch called e.g. utd
  3. in the folder put the files utd.h and saf.h
  4. in the main sketch file (utd.ino) write:
#define SAF_PLATFORM_NIBBLE
#include "utd.h"
  1. compile and upload!

Hi I’m trying to compile to my nibble but, it’s saying that it can’t find CircuitOS.h although it is at the same library as the other files, this is the error message:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows Store 1.8.57.0) (Windows 10), Board: “Arduino Uno”

In file included from C:\Users\galla\Desktop\utd\utg\utd.h:49:0,

             from C:\Users\galla\Desktop\utd\utg\utg.ino:2:

saf.h:2011:10: fatal error: CircuitOS.h: No such file or directory

#include <CircuitOS.h>

      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

compilation terminated.

exit status 1

CircuitOS.h: No such file or directory

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File → Preferences.

Please advise,

Thanks,

me too but im on mac so it looks a bit different but the same error have you fixed it?

#10

how do i set up the arduino ide for nibble?

#11

Check out my NibbleTetris repository. It’s all explained there.
Works on mac, no issues.

#12

use this guide to fix it

#13

why can’t i buy the water and fire towers? i have enough money and can place any tower with ease

#14

It could be because you need 2x2 cells space for the big towers.
