Shooting game

[TheOneTrueGod]

A shooting game I made. Its similar to another post on this site somewhere.

[[Gandalf]]

Very nice game, it has great graphics for something made completely in Turing, and it's even quite fun (unlike most "games" posted here :p). The source code is not bad either, though you could proceduralize and organize it a bit more. Only obvious problem I found was:

code:

put q

Which messed the graphics up a bit, but no big deal.

High score: 320... That's a lot of bullets...

Great job!

*edit* Ehm... wait... why is this posted twice?

Mod Edit: Good question. The other post, made 14 hours earlier, has been hidden. If for some reason it isn't the exact same thing and needs to be restored, that can be done.

Thanks The double post thing, I have no clue about. I tried posting this game last night like 3 times, but it gave me random errors each time, so I gave up and tried again this morning, and it worked fine. Apparantly one of the old ones did work, though when I checked this morning, I still couldn't see them... Don't know why.

Looks great, it's very nice how you did all the graphics in Turing. I really like the rotating octagons with the gradiants. Overall great job, I'm digging the retro but o-so addictive gameplay. + bits (if i can figure out how, but don't worry I'll manage.)

Looking good. A couple of things to think about:

- View.Update () after the instructions (with a cls after that to clear them!)
- setscreen ("position:") to change its position...I'm not a huge fan of the top-right-hand-corner of my monitor. I mean, it's a nice place to look at from time to time, but I'd much rather focus on the middle...
- functions and procedures. Your current programme is close to 450 lines. You don't need that much for it. Now, I know that you're capable of creating such objects, since you've demonstrated that several times before...in this case you have a lot of redundant code that could be stream-lined by using fcns instead.
For instance, I see copiously drawn out if-clauses near the end dealing with the type of powerups...I'm sure that since all the properties they change are the same that you could easily fix that up into a single fcn...

This leads me to my next point. Everything in your programme just screams "Make me into a Class!" Listen to those voices...they're quite well founded in this case. I would suggest reading Cervantes Classes tut in the [Turing Walkthrough] - especially Inheritence. Once you have this down, you'll be able to create a single array of Objects, or Powerups and do your smithiest upon them. (Is "smithiest" even a word? Bah...damn aldol reactions...)

Anyhow, I could go on for a while longer. But I won't because I'm tired and need to study more - damn Robinson annulations...gah!

Thanks for the tips .

This was just a short project that I did overnight. I'll try and encorporate classes into my next "project". Right now I need a good idea though, and i've allready done an RPG, so i'll go check out the ideas board. If anyone would like to see something done, just ask and i'll give it a try.

you have to ajust your screen resolution

Yea, very cool game. I liked the graphics and power ups, ran nicely. As Gandalf pointed out though, the put q messed up some text on the top. So yeah, the code could of been recursified but its ok. Nice job.

that is mad fun

That game is awesome
i had to quit at 400 cause it was getting laggy lol
and also it ggets sort of repetive but its still really good

you should like post that on like armorgames or something (if u want)
and stick advertisements in it and make money lol
