14 enemy types all of which can be turned on and off in the options menu.
Adjust player speed, enemy speed, spawn rate.
Basically anything that can be an option is. Fine tune the options for hundreds of different game types.

All program and option code is done. Gameplay code is the fun part for me and I chose to do it last so I'd actually finish the game.
Gameplay code begins tonight.
Then high score stuff.
Stuff I forgot.
Then polish.
Then release..you lucky people you

I'm hyped!

Almost time for the high score contest part 2. Can any dethrone me?

Oooooohhh sweet!

I wonder whether higher resolution or framerate would be any benefit to it?

I do still want to finish my Ultimate Challenge game (haven't touched it in months, admittedly)'. But since it's not an OHR game it might not be suitable for such a contest.

With four directional buttons and five player skills, wouldn't you like to use the keyboard keys you want to use?

Any chance of joystick support?

I ask this on behalf of the joystick lobby; I don't actually have one.

Any chance of joystick support?

Ill put it in tomorrow. I can't test it though. But I think it will work.

All that's happening to move up is I'm using a variable called keyUp to code with ( not key:up). To change it in the options I use this code

Code: Select all

keyUp &#58;= wait for key &#40;anykey&#41;

If " wait for key" returns a scancode value with a joystick button press then we're good. I know there's scan code values for the joystick, but I don't know if" wait for key" will return it.
And I didn't see anything in the dictionary that said I had to enable the joystick like I did the mouse.

What do you think?

Post by **TMC** » Sun Aug 10, 2014 2:03 pm

Yes, waitforkey(anykey) does return joystick scancodes (thanks, I added that fact to the dictionary). But joystick scancodes don't work everywhere. For example keyispressed accepts joystick scancodes, but keyval didn't. That's a bug. I've just added partial support for joytick scancodes to keyval: it can only tell you whether a key is down, not whether it's a new keypress.

You don't need to do anything to enable the joystick. Mainly you need to ensure that there's nowhere where you're checking key:up, etc, but not the joystick equivalent.

That's super slick, man. I hope any of my games have even half that many options.

Customization = good

Don't just hope, you've got the power! Take inspiration and always go the extra mile.

Not my game, but I wanna hype it anyway! This one is a teaser track from a new game by RedMaverickZero. I've done somewhere near 50 original tracks for this game and I wanna share.

Enjoy!

Mr. Triangle's Adventure won't likely be done by end of the year, but soda_piggy and some others are encouraging me to get SOMETHING released for it for the Heart of the OHR. The ending place for it is gonna have about 20+ hours of content.

What, only three pages of hype since my last login? I am disappoint.

Maybe it's time for me to come out of OHRtirement, broken Escape key or no!
