My Game Rocks!
10-3-04: Alright. There is a laser power-up now, as in a gray ball falls and it makes you be able to fire lasers. Little trouble with the text on the power-ups, and some other stuff. Not sure when next update will be, I'm not getting a lot of time to work on it. Still haven't perfected the speed of blue dots and the whole time in between when the balls are created. My goal is to first get the blue dots to be 100% done, then figure out how to create more power-ups very easily and mostly dynamically.
9-23-04: Made it so a little red dot appears before the blue dot starts falling. This makes it easier because it gives you more time to get to the dot before it hits the ground. Tomorrow I hope to tweak out what I have made so far so it will be the final engine for the game. The code I used to have was very long and tedious, but it was the only way I knew how to do it. Now, I've made the code about 1/10th of the original size, and it is much simpler to work with. As soon as I finish up the blue dot tweaking, and figure out how to create power-ups with some simple copy and pasting, I will be in business. Since I am able to create a game like this, I am hoping to recreate the game "Phoenix" that is found on most calculators. Like, Space invaders kind of. That will take me a while, because I haven't even gotten started, but I already know how to code most of it. Well, look at me rambling on, and its 11:30 PM and I still have homework to do. Better get it done. Until tomorrow, or Monday, whichever ;).
Hmmmmm..... The Jump power-up doesn't seem to exist anymore. Will fix that tomorrow, then if I have time tweak the rest of the code.
9-22-04: Way to not work on the game Matt! I was working really hard, but this one part stumped me, after a while I gave up. A few months later, I decided to give it another shot and guess what, I figured it out. You can now shoot lasers. Their will be a powerup for it, but I'm too lazy right now. I know how to do everything now in my game, it is just a matter of am I going to do it without being lazy and take a long time. We will see... Space to shoot lasers.
2-16-04: Got some power-ups now. You have a speed up power-up and a Jump powerup, which enables you to jump. Push the 'up' key to jump.
2-9-04: Just started... Catch the Blue Dots!
