----------------------------------- DIIST Fri Dec 02, 2005 5:46 pm Astro-Advanced,another shooting game! ----------------------------------- One of my first games. What you do is shoot down as many astroids and enemy ships as possible and gain as many points, without losing health. A special features that i added was hyper space. The controls are:'Space'-Shoot, 'x'-reload, Number Pad Arrow Keys, with num Lock on, to move around. Try it out and tell me what you guys think! ----------------------------------- Saad85 Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:34 pm ----------------------------------- that's EXTREMELY well done, congrats. i don't like how it returns you to the center of the screen when you let go, but i got used to it. if i had bits, i would give them to you... the only suggestions i have are more levels/enemies/shots ----------------------------------- Mr. T Fri Dec 02, 2005 9:19 pm Alex's Opinion ----------------------------------- I love the tumbling asteroid effect. :hb: ----------------------------------- DIIST Sat Dec 03, 2005 6:06 pm Astro-Advanced ----------------------------------- Well the tumbling astroids was a breeze, but trying to make the ship go into hyper space was what took me most of my time. Plus trying to make the surrounding move at a faster rate when you enter hyper space. Overall it took me about 500 lines. I tried to make the enemy ships shoot and make levels, but I got new idea which i am applying for my new game. This one is like astro advanced but its like a fighter plane simulation and you are shooting down enemy ships,and planes,etc, and it a lot better graphics. Right now i am working on the map for the game so its not a plane black screen. Its also a lot faster and wont lag like astro advanced cause i found a faster way to load the pictures onto the screen. ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:07 pm ----------------------------------- tumbling asteroids where done by pic manipulation done in turing or by calling seperate pictures? ----------------------------------- Shyfire Mon Dec 05, 2005 5:46 pm ----------------------------------- OK that was the best game made in turing that i have played so far except my game little dude and that zelda game that this guy made a long time ago :hb: :clap: :notworthy: :notworthy: ----------------------------------- DIIST Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:06 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks!:pray: An about the tumbling astroids, yes i used pic rotate in turing, and created all the rotated images before the start of the game. Then I just call upon the picture by saying Pic.Draw(pic(angle),bla,bla,bla) and it displayed it on the screen. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Dec 07, 2005 10:32 am ----------------------------------- I found it odd that the counter for shots left is going up, not down. And it's too bad that I can't reload until I run out of ammo completely. Otherwise it's well done. Then I just call upon the picture by saying Pic.Draw(pic(angle),bla,bla,bla) and it displayed it on the screen. Excellent coding approach too. Though I would like to see a game-over screen at the end and find out my score, and perhaps an option to play again. I've gotten to the first hyperspace.. I think :lol: +Bits ----------------------------------- DIIST Wed Dec 07, 2005 6:11 pm ----------------------------------- Thank you Tony! I will remember next time to add a start & end screen for my game. I was thinking of adding it, but once i finished my Astro Advanced Game, i need to give my fingers a break! PS:Hyper Space can also be achevied by pressing the number pad 'up arrow key' and 'z'! It will only last as long as the bluebar at the top right hand corner of the screen! ----------------------------------- didsbub Fri Dec 09, 2005 6:28 pm ----------------------------------- Nice Game!!! Very fun to play ----------------------------------- pavol Fri Dec 16, 2005 8:13 pm ----------------------------------- im impressed, very nice game i dont know if its just me but i was having a hard time finding out what the controls to any game i have played on this site so far are. again i say great job ----------------------------------- Flikerator Fri Dec 23, 2005 6:12 pm ----------------------------------- It won't unzip for me :O ----------------------------------- DIIST Sat Dec 31, 2005 12:35 pm ----------------------------------- I updated the file, and made it so as you shoot, the bar decreases! Plus i converted the images form BMP to JPG so they take up less space!!! ----------------------------------- cool dude Sat Dec 31, 2005 6:10 pm ----------------------------------- It won't unzip for me :O r u saving the file? also for some reason it didn't unzip correctly on winzip use the default windows unzip program if u have XP. anyhow great program. the only thing i can say is make it more user friendly. not only wat tony said about title screen and ending screen also instructions would be helpful in the game. the biggest suggestion is DONT disable the user from ending the program. that was annoying i had to go to windows task manager to end it!!! otherwise its awsome :) ----------------------------------- bored_hacker Tue Jan 03, 2006 9:34 am ----------------------------------- very cool
