----------------------------------- Delos Wed Mar 17, 2004 9:52 pm [Game] Dodge the Ball ----------------------------------- Here is a very simple game that I made this evening. I've been stressing over the whole tracker idea for the the last 2 days...and finally got it today after sifting through some of my older files. Simple idea: Dodge the ball. Control using your mouse. Your mouse is your character. Note: For test-purpose's sake, could anyone who tries this post the following: Position your mouse as close to the middle of the screen as possible. Allow the ball to hit you without moving. Try this 3 or 4 times and post the average of the resulting time values. I.e. If you got "You lasted 1.05 seconds", then 1.07, then 1.06, then 1.06; you'd post "4 tests, average of 1.06" (You system specs would be great as well.) This way, you get to enjoy a game, and I get to collect some useful data that could very well be employed by the community as a whole at a later date :). ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Mar 17, 2004 10:05 pm ----------------------------------- No problems experienced... But my specs: 1 gig ram 2.6 ghz processor I think that's all you need. It's kindof easy once you get the "secret", all you have to do is move your mouse in a continuous circle and it can't catch up. Very nice and smootj./ ----------------------------------- guruguru Wed Mar 17, 2004 10:37 pm ----------------------------------- Cool program.
