The 2013 Slime Salad Halloween Contest


Welcome to the 2013 Halloween Contest! It's the season for all things spooky and scary, so let's celebrate it with some game-making!



Rules
  • Your game should be Halloween-themed
  • Ideally, your game should be scary, or at least make an attempt at some sort of suspense
  • You can make an RPG, a platformer, etc... as long as it's made with the OHRRPGCE
  • You may work alone or in a team
  • There are no restrictions on colors, length, etc...
  • Re-releases with significant new/updated content are allowed


Deadline

You have 13 days to work on your game, so everything should be in by the 27th of October. That'll give everyone the chance to play the games while still in the Halloween season.

Voting will take place over the following week and results will be released on November 2


Prizes

TBA

If anyone wants to contribute prizes, get in touch with me





So good luck everyone, and let's see some games!

No one else has said anything? Wow. Well, I got some enemy sprites done. I have general idea of the story of my game, but not much other than that. Let's see if I don't drop out this time!

I'd enter my updated Scare Spree game, but I started on October 1st. Good luck fellahs.

I just assumed it since the rules stated 13 days. Are there any penalties for games being worked on before the launch of the contest?

I say enter it if it's ready in time.
In other news, I'm almost done with my simple little game. It's not too hard, or at least I'm attempting it to be that way. It's more of me wanting to make a slightly halloween theme game with atari-quality graphics. I'm liking how it's turning out.

edit:
And now....I script ♥

Not too much longer until it's playable. I'll try to make some musics to go with it. You can always turn music off, if it's not to your liking.

further edit: and here I go, first time I'm using If statements in hamsterspeak. I'll need to look up how they work in this language, as each one seems to have it's own set of deranged rules.

Way I see it, what are the chances someone's working on a Halloweeny game prior to this? If they are, then might as well allow the game. The more games in the contest the better. Think of it more as a 13 day release window I suppose.

Code:
plotscript, checkingtags, begin
   if (check tag (2:= true) & check tag (3:= true) & check tag (4:= true) & check tag (5:= true) & check tag (6:= true) & check tag (7:= true) & check tag (8:= true)) then (
      set tag (9, true)
      )
   else (
      set tag (9, false)
      )
end

How do? I don't know how to use the if statements here.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but my guess would be you'd want to pull a...

Code:

if (
    checktag (2), and, checktag (3), and, checktag (4),and, checktag (5),and, checktag (6),and, checktag (7),and, checktag (8)
)

Thank ye, Gizmog. It's exactly what I needed.

edit: Created in pretty much 12 hours, here's a sneak peek at the game title:

I just need to make the foes a tad tougher (they die fairly easily, I want tad bit of challenge).
Then on to music. But the game and story and scripting is all done.

Don't it just beat it all, Meowskivich got sick. However, he's still working on this! He must get done a battle theme. He thinks that's all he's gonna care to add to the game before release.

Although ,and, works, I suggest &&

Code:

if ( checktag(2) && checktag(3) && checktag(4) && checktag(5) && checktag(6) && checktag(7) && checktag(8) )


Why?
The short answer is because && is logical but ,and, is bitwise
The long answer is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

Thank you, James. That'll make future endeavors easier to handle, especially since I'm more used to && anyway what with my java class.
