Any Ideas?
« on: October 10, 2013, 06:24:23 pm »
So after the next update of Jumping Squares, Im going to take a break from it. I'd like to make a simple platformer in lua, part puzzle and part action. Anyone have a good idea?

Preferably one with actual sprites rather than plain squares, to make some changes. Maybe something like Supersonic Ball? (Without parallax scrolling):P

Not familiar with Supersonic Ball, ill have to check it out. And yes, i was planning on actual sprites (But i dont regret making the decision to use squares for Jumping Squares). EDIT: Well i looked at Supersonic Ball. Looks like fun, but I was planning on something not so rushed. Jumping Squares, is a bit like Supersonic Ball, and really right now I want to make something different, so that I dont get bored.

A shoot'em up is great.
Make something like Alien Invaders with simple sprites (you can easily find some on google), and it's really simple to code (collision are easy :p), not like a brickbreaker game, etc...

Hmm...Ill consider something along those lines, but I do want to make something fairly unique to other currently existing lua games for the nSpire, and there're already a few shoot'em ups. Maybe something like deathdice, but a little less blood and a little more shoot'em up.

Maybe you can find some inspiration here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvNrznrHtXE&list=PL4Sz7_l-PtwCCwl3bDkZg8NUGWfiBLj1X
Or another puzzely platformer I like: http://armorgames.com/play/13662
And of course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQvWa_q8OrI

But keep in mind that actionbased games are difficult on the nspire; especially with sprites it can take quite long to redraw the screen!
Sorry for nonsense.
