Halo 6-player game

[baseballplayer13]

here is the non-glitched version, added a few new features too

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.

@.@ 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!
