A little something for the weekend?

Oh,here's a little inspiration to Sickboy et al.

2 days, from scratch in Blitz.

[EDIT] - The thread explains progress so far, but this link will always be the latest version.

All the aliens and stuff are random for now, so dont be at all suprised if you get a "what the fuck was that?" moment....

Joypad and/or Arrow Keys & Space
Keys 1-4 enable simple power ups.

Extra life @ 10k
My high score so far > 30k

enjoy

looks something like this:

Just recompiled it with Blitz+ now, so it only needs DX1 and hence should work fine on NT boxes too...

For 2 days that's pretty impressive Rik... especially the parallax "trees"...

it's really nicely done. Found a slight screen glitch on the work PC, but another colleague had no problems.

If you're interested I can tell you more

top work for just a few days

The parallax bit does actually read map day, but there is only one tile in there at the mo too test it out.

This was literally just a little test to check my sprite path stuff, I got talking to a Sickboy on the forum about coding and got, err, carried away....

More gnus as it happens, strangely enough I'll prolly be a bit occupied over the weekend though..

There's always something stopping the good, weekend long code session...

Hey thats cool Rik, I wish I could code something like that in 2 days.

One thing it needs is a huge explosion or something when you die, and some patronising noise or comment...

Ranoka : ta, don;t worry there will be plenty eye-candy for you... this is just me noodling around at the moment!

Just upped a gnu version, you can see the tilemaps working now as I actually made some test tiles....

Finally got to see it last night, and for a two day effort, it was great work.

That's for sure

Once again, great work RiK.

hehe. That's really quite nice RiK...

I love this sort of thing. Maybe we should have a little competition - best game written over a weekend?

Anyone else game? We choose a theme and see what we can come up with...

Cheers
Chris

I think Yak won that one many years ago...

Had a little challenge on Saturday afternoon at Yak's place... I was noodling around showing Korruptor something and asked for suggestions for what power-ups I should add... Jedburgh said "Bonios of Doom" and so, ten minutes later (after Jed drew me some Bonios) there we have it...

Hey (for Bog) - I coded Jeff Minter's power-up, on Jeff Minters PC!!

Bugger me, that's pretty impressive

Great work, RiK!
