YAY keep it up with the progress! Question: will there be levels larger than one single screen or will it be one screen per level?

Speler · « **Reply #61 on:** January 17, 2007, 09:48:00 am »

Err... there are seven screens per level.

i thought screen 2 was level 2 o.o

this is why i was asking

Speler · « **Reply #63 on:** January 17, 2007, 02:28:00 pm »

Screen two is part two level one. What screen did you get to?

I finished level two and have made a dicision. Making levels is STRESSFUL (in general). So this will be the last level for this game I will make. I will move on too tie some of the program together add a couple more features/options and provide documentation on how to make your own levels.

The second level is not built into the game but rather is "installed" in a seperate program (no editing of the code required). I will be uploading a pre-release for bug checks here and noplace else. Then I will release elsewhere including any levels made by people who want to include them.

Checklist of things to be done:
-Finish external level menu's.
-Add options menu.
-Create level compressor/decompressor (I have absolutely no idea how the heck I'll pull this off, but currently a detailed level can take up around 3k bytes and that's simply too much).
-Pre-release for bug testing.
-Create documentation for level creation.
-Hopefully gather some levels (by some I mean one or two (can't expect more considering I won't make more)).
-Release.
-Move on to my second ever game.
-Cheers

(You might want to rename the topic, it made me lose The Game. >.< lol)
Where's the latest demo at?

Speler · « **Reply #67 on:** January 19, 2007, 09:55:00 am »

I released one Dec 8, check page three. That is fairly similar to the final form but it has a bug in level detection is 1k bytes bigger and buggier than what's on my calc now.

Nice plan.

I'm looking forward to this.

I like this game! Just made it to room 5.

Edit: I look back and there's a wall on top of me

I finished, and I like it. I don't have much criticism to give this time, the speed and size are alright, but the replayability is low (I know its only the demo, but have you considered the possibility of randomly generated levels?)
9.5/10

i cant wait, I hope there is a level editor so we can make levels

Speler · « **Reply #71 on:** January 19, 2007, 04:52:00 pm »

There will be a level editor (one day).

If you have a way to generate beatable hard randomly generated level's spit it out cause I don't.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #72 on:** January 20, 2007, 02:52:00 am »

if there is ever a lv editor maybe there could be a small contest and the best levels could be added to the game

Radical Pi · « **Reply #73 on:** January 20, 2007, 04:57:00 am »

I remember what happened the last time we held a level making contest, so I don't think that would work out as good as it sounds like it would...

But if he can't think of any ideas, or is to lazy, then he might as well give it a shot, right? :
