Evite

Posted by Kenon on June 16, 2007, 12:47 a.m.

Evite is a Puzzle game where you avoid having any of the same colored orbs touching by switching, teleporting, eradicating, fusing, and splitting in a limited number of moves.

Progress is pretty smooth, and I have a tech demo if you wish to play.

EVITE TECH DEMO

Now to describe the moves:

SWITCH

Switching is the primary way of moving orbs around. Only costing 1 move makes it incredibly useful, but the downfall is that you can only switch with blocks next to you.

TELEPORTING

Teleporting is very useful for moving orbs across great distances. Teleporting allows you to be able to move orbs over gray orbs as well.

Teleporting cost 2 moves, so it typically doesn't wreck you, but you can't disown switching for it.

ERADICATING

Eradicating turns any block you trigger it on into a stone orb. THis comes at a hefty price of 3 moves, so use wisely.

Sounds good, but I won't download while i'm not supposed to be on here ;D

100levels seems hefty

AwsomeIdea+LvEditor=pwnage

Using the caption fails with FullScreen

And the fading is too slow

And I couldn't notice any ways to unselect(was it clicking on same spot?If not,I'd do that)

Kenon 17 years, 5 months ago

You can unselect by scrolling with the mouse wheel.

And the caption is momentary. Soon I'll have it in some of the side area.

Ya,that mouse wheel system felt really shaky.Rclick pwnz(well,not really…though it could be a nice deselector if one doesn't want to cycle out)

Keeps corrupting for me Kenon. Sorry. :(

@Serpex: right click is going to be used later for a quick restart (2 rapid right clicks)

@Acid: =( That sucks.

s 17 years, 5 months ago

That LvEditor would probably be quite simple,though I'd have to know how you have the orbs colored to look into it further

Kenon 17 years, 5 months ago

Oh. I just use separate objects so I can use object_index for checking.

s 17 years, 5 months ago

Great,might as well jot my idea then

Make an array index for each spot,then save what each thing is with file_text().On load,just run through with a _x,_y system.spot[_x+_y*10]=object_index
