Dragonball Z

[Prince Pwn]

This is a game I made 3 years ago for a grade 11 engineering ISU. Thought'd I'd post it because the animation is pretty cool. It's not completed, nor will ever be unless 20 years in the future I have the sudden urge to make an actual arcade style game as such. Here it is:

Edit: Controls (guess I didn't make a readme)

W S A D to fly up, down, left, right
UP ARROW to power up
SPACEBAR to shoot an energy ball

Once super sayian:
S to crouch
LEFT ARROW - RIGHT ARROW to turn/kick towards that direction
DOWN ARROW to punch towards facing direction

You can also crouch punch/jump by holding the respective keys.
If you have a parallel port custom built joystick, you can also use that.

Two things:

First: Not everybody can open .rars, remember that.

Second: At the bottom of the post reply, just above submit is add an attachment. I think the compsci people put it there for a reason. But the way you posted it is fine. Just wanted to point that out.

I used rar for maximum compression. It made it smaller file size than .zip/.7z. It was a 10mb file rared to 2MB, 7z was around 2.2-2.5MB @ max compression and zip was higher size. Then I uploaded to a seperate server (not compsci's) so I personally can access it from any FTP client, not having to browse to comp sci for it. I have a slow upload speed so maximum compression was my best option, so yes, 500kb matters.

I also assumed since this is a programming website, most users here are tech savvy enough to have software that will uncompress rar's.

Just wanted to explain my reasoning for not using zip and using a seperate server

Why not 7zip is free

[SNIPERDUDE]

And there's always portables you could use. No need to force people to use a lower compression method when most can open RARs.

We went over this before, remember?

It's on the second or third page.

Not really, why can't you put a decompression app onto your flash drive?

Yes, but when your flash drive is half a gigabyte, there is really no point of doing that. (Plus it's full of turing games which I will eventually post)

yeah but one portable app is like 1 MB or less (7zip anyways).

[SNIPERDUDE]

Here's one (although it's 1.4 MB).

[USEC_OFFICER]

Are we really going to go over this again? If it pleases you, I'll put it on my flashdrive.

[ProgrammingFun]

Yes it will please us very much.

Less complaining posts...

EDIT: You can get portable winRAR here

[mother teresa]

lol is everyone that lazy to download winRar like really come on!!

When a company charges you for something, you always have to prove the everything in this world is free.

Me and USEC_OFFICER don't really have alot of time on our hands (only early morning for me, and lunch break for both of us. From time to time, at home as well). So that is why we ask for zip which is the only thing school computers can really unpack. Sorry, but this is how it is.

[DemonWasp]

It took you longer to write the post explaining why you can't just put 7zip on your thumb drive than it would have to just put 7zip on your thumb drive already.

You will suddenly be able to open .rar, .zip, .7z and a billion other compressed / archived file types. There is no installation required.

O_O What happened to this thread, lol
