Defend your Wall!

This is a very simple game. At the time, i was happy to have come up with the recoil idea and the selective collision detection, but in retrospect it is all very simple. It's a little long cuz in the last two weeks before it was due i added a whole bunch of extra features to it. The graphics are crap (i'm too lazy to add decent ones) and there is no wall to defend, but here it is and plz dont tear me apart.

Looks good, like the menus.

Updated version, i think ill call it... v1.2
anyways, got some tweaking and balancing to make the guns in the second tier more balanced and accurate (ull see what i mean)
Updates:
~added semi auto
~tweaked and balanced in response to a massive change to the way bullet holes are drawn
~fixed a bug in the pause menu
~a few other things i cant quite remember
~added the accuracy percentage counter thingy

To come at a later date:
~selective fire ie three bullet burst, full auto and semi auto
~third tier?
~waves instead of a constant stream of enemies
~perhaps a save game feature
~prestige and rank system
~effecientization
~more bug fixes
~Whatever else i get in terms of feedback(as long as i am capable)

I like it man (obviosuly it has things that could be fixed, but what doesn't) The accuracy of the glock is kinda annoying and frustrating, but its a pretty good game nontheless.

This is gonna sound wierd, but I'm looking for good games/Turing programmers. I don't wanna reveal too many things in public until I get more details, but I think you should contact me, also if anyone else is interested in getting some publicity for their games, or just letting me use them, contact me. my email is nathan_jervis@live.ca

Nicely done, but the percentage of accuracy is off. Say I hit 2 targets with 1 bullet?
It might be a good idea to add music or sounds cause watching targets fly by and me shooting them its like me saying,
"Got 1... Got 1... Got another", etc.
Think of adding a crosshair or a scope option, and i'm not sure if it is possible but make the cursor not there if you are doing the crosshair.

Overall, descent program. Keep up the good work.

Turing cannot hide the cursor because it does not have access to the Windows API.

Thanks and when i added the accuracy counter, i was thinking of Goldeneye and how you can get over 100% accuracy by shooting someone with a shotgun and having more than pellet hit or shooting two people with one bullet, hence the 100+% accuracy

Alright I get it Smile
And too bad Turing cant access the API. Maybe that should come out in the next v of Turing, hmm? Just to access the cursor.

Well in the current version of Turing, the command Mouse.Hide is recognized (it turns black when you type it), but Holtsoft never implemented it before they went out of business.

LOL.




Cool game, I had tried to make something similar when I first started with Turing, but failed hard at it.

Yet another version Very Happy (i've been bored). Added a whole bunch of stuff and cant remember it all but here (some of) it is:
~Second shop window w/ info on stuff
~Waves!! OMG you have no idea how long it took me to wrap my head around such a simple concept
~some other stuff

Still have some balancing issues

I'm going to point out that this will not run on macs in Crossover. Dunno about Crossover Linux or Wine. It caused my entire system to freeze up and I had to force-restart my laptop.

Just a warning.

Post subject:  Re: Defend your Wall!

oops hope it wasnt my fault (probably wasnt tho)
some bugs have been fixed such as the one that lets you repeatedly gain 20 gold from every killed enemy more than once in addition to the glitch that caused killed enemies to collide with the base
