Download every lib on BYOND?
LoL... I'm probably going to be without internet for awhile, so I'd like something to do in case I get bored. -.-'

The only single player game I've ever seen on BYOND that I played for more than 30 minutes was by Abra, and I don't remember what its name was. Is there a way to search for BYOND games that are single player and NOT multi player? So many blatantly multiplayer games are flagged as single player it is hard to find the true singles. :( | |

So many blatantly multiplayer games are flagged as single player it is hard to find the true singles. :( There isn't AFAIK, although I think it was suggested. Unfortunately the problem with the games flag seems to be that "multi and single-player" is apparently the default setting, which simply a lot of developers never change. Some of the hub entries are also old, from before this setting was added, and weren't updated since/the owner isn't around anymore. Maybe it's not a wise default setting. You can still weed out the non-singleplayer games in the listing by their name, or visit the Single-Player Games guild's game listing to find 'confirmed' decent single-player games. | |

Not every one, but http://www.byond.com/members/?command=search&type=resources is a good start. I'd say that you could write a program or script to pull all the libraries and demos automatically, but there's no way to actually get a file URL from the hub-pages.
Feel free to point-and-click your way through. | |

Use at your own risk :D | |
Uh, well, as you'd expect - not really.
Also, you wouldn't want to do that even if you could. There are a lot of intriguing, decent libraries, but in comparison, there must be tons of bad ones, some probably such trash that they're not worth eating the little disk space.
Perhaps you should consider... downloading some interesting games or as such instead of libraries. ;) (Or in addition to some libraries picked and downloaded manually, if you're so inclined) You can find some entertaining things to do when you're bored on the internet.
