Demo - Puncher

[Demo - Puncher]

I've been working on a concept for a while and I'm looking for feedback. It's a fighter, you'r in a temple punching some dudes, and they punch you back. They get faster the more you beat, beat them all and you get a victory pose then it starts over. No titlescreen and no game over yet due to it being in a testing demo phase still. What do you like, what don't you like, what could make it more fun? Your input is important =)

 

Walk left and right, you can't pass the pillars. If you move outside the screen on the sides without the pillars you shift level.

Steer with the joystick, avoid the other racers, or shoot them with your missiles. Speed up with the speed boosts and refill the clock with the energy points.

I do hope you'll like it, I spent alot of time working on it =)

[How would this background be made?]

How would a scrolling background like in Moon Patrol be achieved? I would like to know how the mountains scroll.

[Wipeout 2600]

Wipeout for the 2600

 

Avoid crashing into the other racers, or if you can: Blast them from behind with your missiles!

Race against the time, speed up by driving over the speedboosts. Gain more time by driving over the energy symbols!

 

Racing track that changes color if you last long enough!

 

Push the joystick left and right to move left and right. Push the button to fire.

[Request for the musical prodigies]

As I'm completely incompetent with music I'm putting out a request for this song for my main game title. Helping out earns you having your name in the thank you notes =)

[A better way too increase speed?]

Thanks a million guys, I got it working now, you are the best =)

[A better way too increase speed?]

Cheers for the tip =)

[A better way too increase speed?]

It's plenty fast enough it's just that player0 staggers until it hits max speed then it goes nuts and into some weird hyperspeed.

[A better way too increase speed?]

I'm testing my waters doing a racing game in order to further my understanding of bb, and I've realised I must learn a new way to increase difficulty speed. Player1 is a car that goes faster and faster and creates a light trail over time. This is 10 frames long.

 

What would be the most efficient way to make player0y+ increase over that time. When f=100 that would be max speed.

 

My current way is no good at all:

 if f=10 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.00

 if f=20 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.10

 if f=30 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.20

 if f=40 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.30

 if f=50 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.40

 if f=60 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.50

 if f=70 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.60

 if f=80 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.70

 if f=90 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.80

 if f=100 then _P0_U_D=_P0_U_D+1.90

[I don't understand pfscroll]

I have another question related too pfscroll. (I think)

How would I go about if I wanted a racetrack. And I want 3 playfield, one being a straight road, the second being a forked road and the third being something else, and having 1 of them randomly selected and coming in after the current playfield?

[Faking multiple sprites?]

Yeah, I really should try to get the newest version of VBB working again someday, it just never seems to work for me.

[Silly Donkey Kong clone demo]

I'm a bit stuck with my Mallard Hunt game so I began fiddling with a silly donkey kong styled game where you are a rabbit and a fox is throwing barrels at you...Very barebones at the moment, you can run, jump and stomp the fox on the head. No collision for the barrels yet and no scoring.

 

Gameplay suggestions?

[Faking multiple sprites?]

How would I go about if I want to fake multiple sprites? I want player 1 too ocupy certain locations on the screen at the same time so I thought some kind of cycle routine could work where it was sent to the locations really fast. And when player1 collides with player0 on that location it stops going to that location untill they all have been visited. Like coins in a mario game. Any ideas on how such a thing might be done?

[I don't understand pfscroll]

Ah, cool. That cleared it up, thanks!

[I don't understand pfscroll]

Hm, okay. But what does the numbers mean?

[Shields like in Yars' Revenge?]

Cool, cheers!

[Shields like in Yars' Revenge?]

I'm curious on how the rotating shields are done in Yars' Revenge, and I was wondering if someone has done something like that and pehaps could offer an explanation on the subject?

[Mallard Hunt]

I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I've been sucked into a game called Monster Hunter for the 3DS. But I managed to get away from it's grip for a while and I'm working on updating Mallard Hunt. I've hit a glitch I'm not sure to why it happens.

 

I've made a random number generator so the ducks bounce either left or right when reaching the top or bottom of the screen, but now they no longer bounce on the left or right edges of the screen. Any ideas why?

 

the p counter is to check if the game is over or not.

the a and b counters handles the bouncing.

 if p=0 && player0x>133 then a=2
 if p=0 && player0x<15 then a=1

 if p=0 && player0y>72 then b=2
 if p=0 && player0y<15 then b=1
 if player0y<15 then m=(rand&1)
 if player0y>133 then m=(rand&1)

 if m=0 then a=1
 if m=1 then a=2

[I don't understand pfscroll]

I find it hard to get a grasp of pfscroll. I can get the playfield to jerk about but that's it. How can I make it scroll up or down properly?

   if joy0up then pfscroll up
   if joy0down then pfscroll down

   if playfieldpos <> 8 then goto __Skip_Draw

   temp5 = rand : temp6 = rand/2

   if temp5 > temp6 then var44 = 0 : var45 = 0 : var46  = 0 : var47 = 0 : goto __Skip_Draw

   var44 = rand : var45 = rand : var46  = rand : var47 = rand

__Skip_Draw

[Mallard Hunt]

My highscore is 60 =D

 

I'll check it out.

Thank you Zack, for offering the help and the suggestion! I might need help with that. I'll post a PM if I do, then we'll sell the game and become millionaires, haha =)

[Mallard Hunt]

Thanks =) The rifle is actually not a missile object, it's not separated from the hunter at all.
