I am making a little bit of an avoiding game to practice my coding. So far, I have mostly been working on the movement and an Inertia engine for moving around. You can check out my latest build (only movement with arrow keys) | here |
Suggestions and glitches are welcome!
Well there's not much to it yet, but what you have already looks good. Gets a bit shaky when rolling into a wall, but other than that, it's good.
The shaky part isn't that much of a problem, but the whole thing is pretty good.
Suggestions and glitches are welcome!
What type of glitches would you like?
Also, cool game there, bro. Just add something new to it.
As I played it, I immediately felt to need to somehow make the "ball" grow. Maybe has something to do with the outer ring.
Okay, i just thought of this, what if the User [YOU] don't move the ball, what if the arrow keys don't make the ball move? sounds crazy eh? but think about this, the game is AVOIDNESS, avoiding stuff is like, the main thing, but if you can just move your ball back and forth, even with obstacles, it'll be too easy, so get this, what if the arrow keys tilt the whole stage, you build a few ramps, some simple slope detection, and add a few power ups and boom, you got an A grade game, think about it. you press the right key and the stage tilts that way, you press the left, and it tilts towards the left, you press space, and the whole stage moves downward, kinda like a jump. just some, you know, advice.
@wd: That may be more difficult to code, since you'll need to code in physics. It's certainly doable though.
@DS: Maybe that could be a feature. The longer you stay alive, the larger the ball gets so its harder to avoid things.
Yeah, it's a bit shaky. I'm not a great programmer and this is my first game I haven't just been copying from tutorials. @wingdemon: like the idea! I might make an edition of it that is like that, but it is actually part of a series of games on kongregate, so keeping it fairly simple. @DS Heh. Wrote it in early morning... My idea to make it grow is when you lose a life you grow, so it is easier to get hit the next time.
I will make it better with the next release, but I am taking it step by step so I can get lots of feedback.
Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
EDIT: Got some enemy ideas (aka random falling things) for avoidness | Here |. Which one is the best?
I know, what should I have?
Thanks, DaxterSpeed. Which color should I use? or should I do all of them, some doing different things?
@j_m With my great thinking skillz, I knew that you were going to reference white rain. But it's a gonna be different, im a'tellin' you.
You said you're copying from a tutorial, I hope you're understanding the code you're copying. Otherwise it's pointless and you'll never be able to do anything with your game.
@VG Some of my previous games were copying. This one isn't.
uh... better delete that spawning code I just added
