----------------------------------- SuperGenius Sat Jun 12, 2004 12:06 pm [FP] Super Breakout ----------------------------------- This is my breakout game, my FP. It functions pretty well, there are no glitches that I know about in this version. If any of you guys notice someting interesting, or have any comments please post, mabye a SS if nessecary as well. I do intend ti improve this, even though I am done with comp sci for this year. Hmm... the music must be too large to attatch in the .zip, I'll just post the sound free version. READ THIS: controls: mouse falling dot things: powerups .... try to collect them if the paddle changes shape: It's the gun powerup. click to shoot bullets at the bricks ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Jun 12, 2004 12:51 pm ----------------------------------- Looks good, but you might want to show what the powerups do, cause right now I only see black balls dropping. And also you can make some of the blocks have different attributes, like more than one hit to destroy. Nice looking editor too. No one wants to comment mine :( lol, 11 downloads yet no comments and only 3 votes. Does urs run slower with music? oh yea, u might wanna limit paddlesize, I kinda just entered 600 ... lol ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Sat Jun 12, 2004 2:38 pm ----------------------------------- good suggestions. I think I will make a to do list. About the editor so you dont have to examine the code: type a file name, and .txt is automatically tacked onto the end type an integer colour number (if you stay below 100 you wont run into problems with the default colours in the main game) click the squares to colour (you can also hold + drag) click the bottom 100px vertically to enter another colour enter colour -1 to exit the program and create the textfile ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Sat Jun 12, 2004 2:40 pm ----------------------------------- oh yeah, on my system at least (2.4g, 512ram) there is no noticible dagradation in performance with the music. ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Jun 12, 2004 3:11 pm ----------------------------------- uh... yea that would be why my ball crawls when there is music, I have 300 mhz lol. ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Sat Jun 12, 2004 4:06 pm ----------------------------------- how did my game work on your system? ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Jun 12, 2004 4:06 pm ----------------------------------- Oh it worked fine, still I didn't have to move ;) I set paddlesize to 600 :lol: ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Sat Jun 12, 2004 4:12 pm ----------------------------------- Where is the fun in that? lol ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jun 22, 2004 10:18 pm ----------------------------------- the fun is u can walk away for an hour and come back abnd be on level 30! :P btw: good game... and i liked te cutomization.. that makes it wicked!!! changing colors would be an nice adition! now for a online Breakout game (which is my favourite one ever played) i play dis one i got on my forum... i forget the link tho...meh.. its on there in the online games section. if ur interested.. it has fully customizable colors.. pspeed padle size... everything! suggestiosn for ur game: being ablle to speed game up by pressing a button ie + or - key cu8z afta i inputing speeds i noticed it was way too slow (cuz i got a slow machine) ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jun 22, 2004 10:38 pm ----------------------------------- btw:L i voted pretty spify.... since it was the best .exe version of breakout i have played ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Wed Jun 23, 2004 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- I had a function to change the physics at will for testing purposes but I took it out, and there are constraints on the ball speed, but I guess they don't work properly on different systems. ----------------------------------- bass_maniac Wed Nov 17, 2004 4:28 pm ----------------------------------- btw: good game... and i liked te cutomization.. that makes it wicked!!! changing colors would be an nice adition! Actually you can change the colour. Click near the number of the colour you just input and a cursor will appear. Type the new colour number and press enter. Voila!
