Clickable grid of 1.406 kilogames! And wallpapers!

I made a webpage where all 1.406 kilogames are arranged in one big grid, you can mouse over them to see titles/author, and you can click to go to the entry page for that game on ludumdare.com! With this many games I thought it’d be worth trying a different way to browse through them all.
I’d like to do more to make browsing/rating games a bit less painful, so if you have some ideas, leave a comment!
I also kept up my tradition of making desktop wallpapers out of the games!
good luck finding yours
The wallpapers in various sizes:
- 1024 x 768
- 1152 x 864
- 1280 x 768
- 1280 x 800
- 1280 x 960
- 1280 x 1024
- 1366 x 768
- 1440 x 900
- 1600 x 900
- 1600 x 1200
- 1680 x 1050
- 1920 x 1080
- 1920 x 1200
- 2560 x 1600
- Here‘s a 18 MB mega-image where you can actually make them all out.
- Here are the scripts used to generate the wallpapers and interactive thingy. Requires PIL.
Sooooo many games! Took me a while to find mine.
No 1920 x 1200 ? Please!
oh wow there was a typo in my script and it made 1620 x 1200 instead. fixing.

Always love these!
I found mine haha =D
Spent ages trying to find my own game, started from the top on the large image and found myself on the bottom row
Yaye! Found mine
but confused another one for mine the first time around (at the small-rez inside the blog post). Should try to make somekind of mosaic art out of this, I remember there was a software that does it. Could have it spell “LudumDare 24″ 
Ah! Here it is:
http://www.andreaplanet.com/andreamosaic/ (for Windows)
Feed it the collection of screenshots, and a target picture… presto!
I actually downloaded Photoscape and almost did. But I didn’t immediately think of anything cool to make it look like, so just left it in the same order the “all games” link puts them in (submission time I think?)
EDIT: Oh, that was the wrong program anyway, heh.
Oh man, I found It Will Grow! Took a while. That’s pretty great. =]
Where’s Waldo?
dont you mean,
Ispy my game?
this is being boss.
we should have our “rate games!” page just like this.
show poV this, and i just might see this for december.
Yeah I think I might try and work it into the LD software and send a patch to Phil/PoV so that this becomes part of the normal LD-process. I really should finish some of my other ten squillion projects first. (like the game I started for this LD)
Ooh, the LD software? How do you get a look at that? I’d love to peek into the code that runs this place without using browser embedded tools.
My plan is to ask Phil for it, but if I remember right, it is on GitHub or someplace like that.
it shouldent be that hard.
its just wordpress.
the most complex thing on this site is that clock up on the top controlling our lives
Tell me if you find it! (on Github, that is) I haven’t used any web programming in a while, but technically, the first language I learned was CSS- Yeah, that’s a long story… – and I do know some rudimentary wordpress.
@Mohammad: I would think the coolness to ratings ratio thing on the Play and Rate games page is kinda hard.
Amazing \o/
Sweet! Now, after I’m done rating the games of people I bookmarked, I can just make random clicks and find games!
This is actually a great idea, I’m going to use it
*sniff* mine isn’t there… ;_____;
Urgh… then he finds it… FAIL
i found mine
found mine in seconds ! I thinks I’ll use that wall paper!
Amazing! I will print this poster! =)
this is how rating shoud be done.
close your eyes.
scroll around
press!
