My currently unnamed project
« on: June 26, 2011, 11:30:05 pm »
This is the project I have been quasi working on for a few weeks. It is to be a nearly completely user made game. what I will be making is the framework and a 10 level level pack to demonstrate what it can do.

This game will have two parts to its release version
The game engine that takes the levelpack files and lets you play the game.

utilities for making your own fully customized levelpacks

The Goals for the game engine part in order of importance:
Do not limit the player and developer too much from possible games
Provide interesting ways to play
Protect from crashes
have easter eggs(this very bottom level)

The Goals For utilities in oder of importance:
Easy interface
allows easy customization of levels, weapons, enemies, obstacles, characters
creates safe levels
almost no limits on what it can make
ability to compile into a not too large level pack

This game will have you be able to create custom weapons, and obstacles. You can assign those weapons to players and enemies. The obstacles can then be utilized in levels. All of these are then compiled into a level pack file. they will all be written in hexadecimal code.
The point of each level will be to move from a predetermined starting point to a 'flag'(you choose the image for this in the level customization. There can be enemies with very simple events set for their appearance(you picking up a nearby weapon, you getting to a certain point, or with a timer). These enemies can have either predetermined weapons or a weapon from a random selection of weapons you said are possible for it to use(the possible weapons are set while customizing the enemy the when/where they pop out and what weapons they have is set in the level file). there can be obstacles with set images/fill color/transparency that you set if htey do damage and/or impede movement if so by what percent. You make players saying what weapons they can use, whether they can double jump, whether they can crouch, with how much speed they jump and how much health they start with out of 100%. YOu put all of these things together into a level, you decide what player is used on that level, what obstacles and where they will be(this will be on  a grid I don't want it to be pixel by pixel), when and where enemies pop out(from that same grid), what the power of gravity is, where the flag and starting points are and images for those places

Now I've told about the game(more information later) what do you guys think the name should be?


Here is like the bare frame of the games code
Code: [Select]

            colorkey = image.get_at((0,0))
        image.set_colorkey(colorkey, RLEACCEL)

2d for now. this is the kind of game I've always wanted so eventually it will be 3d but I only know 2d for now so...

I like the name just I'd like it to be a little catchier...

I'd prefer it if the name didn't say 10 level. the 10 levels I'll include will just be demos really. there won't be any limit on the levels a levelpack(I have some interesting Ideas you could do with this

EDIT:If you made the change between levels instantaneous with no transition and make an RPG like game with scenes as levels. You'd have to go in a certain order though and couldn't go backwards between scenes

Is this like a platformer or like an fps?  That might have some influence toward the name...

Its more of a platformer. I'll go update the description a little to try and make it clearer.

EDIT:update have most of the unit creator working. It currently puts the data into a text file
test enemy killer file. I added comments to say what each line is
Code: [Select]
/str /Killer /2011-06-27 /enemy /ruler501 /FFBC /end#header with name of enemy date creators name, ID code(random 2 byte integer in hexadecimal)
0#class number
Killer#img folder
95#health(% of 100)
3#jump speed in px/s
50#transparency 0-255
4#walking speed running speed is just 2x this
1#boolean can crouch
5#AI level 1 would be perfect evasion if possible
I should have more up tomorrow. This was whipped together after much thought on how files should be set up. I should have  a rudimentary level editor by Thursday

UPDATE:
I haven't done much with the engine yet, but I have a well working script for generating the objects like weapons/players/enemies/obstacles levels are almost done and must be postponed till I'm done 'deserting' you guys. I should be able to have a beta of this out a week after I get back from Northern Tier

My code for the utility

The level part of it doesn't work yet. Once I've released this I will make it into a graphical editor, but until then I'll leave it as purely text
I currently don't do much, but I am a developer for a game you should totally try out called AssaultCube Reloaded download here https://assaultcuber.codeplex.com/
