Dress a Wreck

Are you ready to be your own Wreckerator, only without all the mess and soul-eating shame? Then you are going to *LOVE* this fun little Wrecks game, created by loyal Wreckie henchperson J Rose.

So grab the kids, significant others, and/or cubicle mates, and get ready to start cranking out your very own Wrecks! Then print them out and decorate the fridge. Because, no, you are NOT too old for that.




Many "thanks" to J Rose, whose artistic genius is surpassed only by her impeccable taste in blogs.

    What fun!

    Sadly, anything I can do with this game would still look better than the mess I'd make with real icing.

    I *LOVE* this!!

    Is it wrong that when I saw the font used for the alpha/numeric characters the first thing I wanted to write was, "Suck it, Trebek"?

    Also, I wish there was a way to share my "creations" with friends...

    So much awesomeness!

    @Ellen: it's okay to make a mess with real icing when you're having fun at home, especially with your family. You just don't sell it, that's all. :)

    Experiment with cake, have fun, make a wreck, then eat the evidence! Nom nom nom!

    Excellent!

    Time for a lesson on how to share your creation in Windows:

    1. Click and keys at same time.
    2. Click in lower left corner, then , then , then
    3. Click inside the white box
    4. Click in upper left corner, then
    5. Click in upper left corner, then , then
    6. Type in the name of your creation
    7. Click

    Your creation is now saved (probably in My Pictures) and can be shared with the world just like a photograph.

    That concludes our computer class for today.

    Carrot Fight

    "There was peace in the little valley, where the moose frolicked among the trees and babies with their llamas freely roamed the land. But, all that changed as the carrot jockies descended their pink stairways to rain doom upon them all...and also sprinkles."

    On a game dev note, at first I was bummed that you only get 1 of every letter, so you can't repeat an r for the word "carrot"...but then I realized that having to omit or substitute letters is half the wrecky goodness.

    For those people having trouble moving the sprinkles, I know, I tried really hard to make them movable! I added the giant white sprinkle in the bottom left corner as a handle to get them to move more easily.

    This is my second drag-and-drop game ever. I'll do better next time!

    And thanks for the love for the parts that work how I wanted them to! =D

    This is wonderful. I made a world-class wreck on my first try even though I ran out of Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockeys very quickly. Thanks for creating it.

    (A couple of extra alphabets, preferably in colors that clash with the pink, would be helpful in misspelling words with repeat letters.)

    Way to go, J Rose!

    This could be a cool online game -- people could take turns being the wreckerator, while messages from 'customers' are randomly garbled to simulate the order-taking process. (Bonus points for messages that are factually questionable, because most people see humor in that stuff.)

    Note: such wrecky elements as 'balloons', fondant cracks and indecipherable script can be added freehand to a screen capture in Paint or other drawing program.

    I was kind of offended that there are no beads and no way to know whether the cake is baked or deep-fried, but I got over it before I finished typing this sentence.

    For some reason, your program deleted the keys to press for saving the screen shots (see 10:32am). Apparently it doesn't like the less-than and greater-than symbols. Let's try again:

    1. Click Fn and Prnt Screen keys at same time.
    2. Click Start in lower left corner, then All Programs, then Accessories, then Paint
    3. Click inside the white box
    4. Click Edit in upper left corner, then Paste
