Feeding Frenzy

Posted by RetroVortex on May 26, 2007, 12:57 p.m.

Well what do you know?

I actually got a project up and running, and its actually quite good! [:D]

Only been working on it for a day, but its actually gotten to be quite playable, (but thats only because its a minigame)

Hopefully I'll be able to expand on it!

Here's a screenshot:

and here's a link to the game! (well the first 'stage' of development anyway!)

(I would've uploaded it here, but the file manager isn't working for me today!)

I'm buzzing with ideas on expansion, but I think I'm going to call it a day for now.

Maybe I'll manage my ideas, limit them, as the project will end up like Pilot. Messy (code wise, you should see the GM6), overcomplicated, and unfinished.

Whoops! I haven't explained what the game is about!

This game is called Feeding Frenzy. It is a game where you are a small creatue, which must eat other lifeforms to survive, constantly, (yeah, yeah, its been done before but I love these kind of games![:D]) because if you do not eat quickly, you shall rot away and die!

Sounds simple enough, but there are parasites! which will sap away your life if you touch them.

They have also infected other large lifeforms which burst and spread these parasites all over!

(so basically you eat the yellow dots, and avoid the red!)

Use WASD to control the creature, (A= turn left D= turn right, W=accelerate, and S= reverse)

Hope you enjoy it! and if you want, give some ideas on how to expand the idea (except for multiplayer, I have an idea for that!)

EDIT: I've just uploaded a fixed version (it fixes highscore, and prevents infinite health!(forgot to put a health limit on the creature)

The particles? Nah, I'm too lazy to code it!

But everything else is in code (the movement,collision ect…)

How do you have that sweet interface?

(the kickass looking minimizing and exit buttons)

Just fixed a few issues with it! [:D]

@HandrawnMan: I use WindowBlinds 5.1

(thier site contains loads of themes and it makes theme switching super easy!)(The theme i'm using is called ChaNinja Style (subzero))

and thanks for enjoying my game…

I aim to add more enemies, some powerups and more opportunities to score points!

draw_circle()

Thats all you need,and then use collision_circle() for collision checking in step
