My first game!

[gezegond]

Hey guys, I haven't been around for a while, but that was because I was learning to develop games using allegro. And now my first game is done and I wanted to share it with you guys to see how well I've done in the eyes of gamers (not programmers ).

This is a really small catapult mini game. You adjust the angle and power and then throw the ball towards the basket. Really simple, but took me 3 weeks to code!

Any ways, please play the game and tell me about the things you liked and things you didn't like about it. I'm also open to questions, suggestion, bug reports, etc. (specially bug reports )

Pretty cool man! I know how hard it is to program a game even as simple as hangman or tic tac toe so I give you props on this. While not the most original concept I bet you learned a lot of stuff that you will be able to utilize when making other games.

w00t a reply!

Thanks! I certainly learned a lot which was the whole point of designing this game. I chose a not-original-at-all concept on purpose because I wanted the gameplay to just work while I concentrate on the programming. Now I can just apply everything I know programming wise to another concept. My next one will be JRPG-like game similar to pokemon and digimon.

I made a super-simple Galaga style shooter for my edx.org CS-50X class. Of course the ToS for that says I can't share their software with people outside the class, so if you can find moshpit789 on MIT sites, you can probably play an online Flash version of my game.

Is this it?

Looks pretty cool. The only problem is that bullets disappear if you shoot a new one. I like how the enemies come homing towards you and don't just come at a straight line like all other side shooters.

btw, on the page it says that it's being shared with creative commons license so it's probably okay to share it.

That's the one. I kept it simple by making the laser a single sprite, and each time you fire it resets to the y-position of the ship. That's why the laser resets each time you fire, making for short range rapid fire. Enemy speed is tied to your score, so at a score of -2 it's game over because the enemy would stop.

The music sounds a lot better in the programming GUI(Scratch, linked to the right of the game on that site), with different instrument types being tied to background/star sprites.

Amazing job. I abandoned programming, waaaay too much concentration

Thanks. Programming is like, really frustrating when it doesn't work, and really really rewarding when it does. Like a difficult game.
