THis was my grade 10 computers project. Since handing it in, I've added new game modes, started as only a CTF, and a map editor. Controls are listed before each game, PM me if you have questions. Hope you like it.

it's ok i was expecting something better but you can have 6 people playing at one time so it can probably get messy if you have full teams, but for what it is (an arcade game) i give it a decent 6/10 because no melee and no weapon variety but all in all a decent rating.

You should organize your files by using a hierarchical file system.

put all your music in a folder called music etc then in turing when you assign your picture variables
type "FOLDERNAME/FILENAME.EXT"

so for example
Turing:
picnum (1) := Pic.FileNew ("1.bmp")
%is

picnum (1) := Pic.FileNew ("Pictures/1.bmp")
%if your folder is called Pictures


This is make your turing source file easier to find

good job...i am addicted to this...p.s
how do you score with the flag
Author:  baseballplayer13 [ Mon Jun 15, 2009 2:49 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Halo 6-player game
u score by returning to your base with the enemy flag, but your flag must also be there (return your team's flag by shooting flag carrier) Very Happy

Post subject:  RE:Halo 6-player game
Yeah i go and grab the flag then walk back to my base and i can't seem to cap the flag

I cant get it to run

It says this

Quote:
Pic.Draw (CTFpic, (maxx div 2) - 160, maxy - 150, picMerge)


is an illegal picture ID number "0"

That means it isn't loading the picture. Did you move any files outside of their directories?

lol no worries, I'll snag the good version when you post it, then take a good look at it.

Although it is simplistic, this game is the most epic I've ever found for 6-player multiplayer. Although playing with 1, 2, 3 or even 4 seems boring, the madness unleashed with 6 players is crazy. I've played this game for hours, good job baseballplayer13.

@baseballplayer13 : If you re-release the good version, make sure it's the Lopez version.

Very good for a turing game!

I don't understand how ecookman can't capture his flag though..? I get it everytime. lol

good job baseballplayer13, maybe you should make it a 2 player split screen with 1st person view somehow? lol that would be quite a challenge. Laughing

@.@ This has to be the best Turing-made game I've played. A very good job IMO.

No doubt he put a good amount of effort into his game. Also thought you should check out this game made in Turing, one of my favourites by far: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=13809

Some constructive commentary on the code:

User interface could use some work. The mix of spread out GUI elements and white screens of text are inconsistent and poorly though out.

I don't think that "technic" is a standard font.

There are 6 way parallel arrays for bloody everything. Try to use records/types.

There are large blocks of code that describe config values.

code:

picnum (1) := Pic.FileNew ("1.bmp")
picnum (2) := Pic.FileNew ("2.bmp")
...
picnum (25) := Pic.FileNew ("25.bmp")

could be written as
code:

for i: 1..25
   picnum(i) := Pic.FileNew(intstr(i) + ".bmp")
end for


Instead of
code:

process gameover
    Music.PlayFile ("gameover.mp3")
end gameover

the preferred way is to use
code:

Music.PlayFileReturn("gameover.mp3")

Although that's more of a semantic thing.

code:

procedure modenext
if gamemode = "CapturetheFlag" then
        gamemode := "TeamDeathmatch"
    elsif gamemode = "TeamDeathmatch" then
...

It would be cleaner to have an integer ID for a game mode, and an array that holds string names to display. This way your entire procedure would have been
code:

game_mode_id += 1


Here come those blocks of config settings
code:

if map = 2 then
            drawfillbox (0, 300, 100, 320, black)
            drawfillbox (0, 290, 20, 299, grey)
            drawfillbox (20, 290, 40, 299, yellow)
            drawfillbox (40, 290, 60, 299, grey)
...

Should just load data from a map file. Possibly from a format that's easier to understand for a person.

(Oh wait, I see that you do actually have the code to load custom maps... you should have used that for your own maps as well)

Variable names and magic constants
code:

for i : x (1) - 30 .. x (1) + 30
if keys ('w') and
...

What the heck is x(1) and how does it relate to 30?

Also, I'm pretty sure that most of that code is duplicated 6 times for x(2), x(3), ..., x(6)

code:

end if
            end if
            end if
            end if

That could probably be re-factored to be cleaner.

You've used whatdotcolor 47 times.

Sniperdude: I would look at it, but I'm have trouble with figuring out how to save the download. (I was only able to get this one saved since a friend has dowloaded it and he transfered it to my files)

Hey good job! This is a great game considering it was made in Turing. I still seem have to trouble scoring with the blue guy in 2 player mode though. But again, congratulations!
