Looks and plays better at 60 FPS

I've been working on this local 1v1/2v2 game for a while now, on-and-off. Already had lots of fun playing with friends.
Heavily inspired by the Kung Foot minigame from Rayman Legends... and Pong.

Here's a .jar if anybody wants to try it.
WASD or arrow keys or a 360 controller for controls, you have to press your up/jump key to ready yourself (2 players minimum) and then press P or the big play button. The rest will hopefully be self-explanatory.

Guessing there's a better way to draw scanlines than just "a black bar with low transparency every other line"

They were all the rage during high school (I remember PowerSlime being specially silly), so might give you some extra ideas for your game.

DeathBySpoon: Dec 17, 2007; I got myself a paper clip!

Crossposting my progress sfrom the Making Games thread over here.

Tons of progress and stolen assets! I switched over to the Press Turn system and it plays so much better. If you aren't familiar, the basic idea is that hitting weaknesses and getting crits nabs you extra turn actions, while missing or nullified attacks lose them. Half turn icons can still be used as a normal turn, so a perfect phase nets every unit two turns. That's not the biggest addition in this build, though; sound! Again, lots of stolen assets, but it helps nail down a good look and feel and really adds to the game IMO. Desktop and Android versions right here:

Desktop: http://aarondgordon.com/amt/rpg.jar
Android: http://aarondgordon.com/amt/rpg.apk

Download it, give it a shot, and let me know what you think or how you broke it. The story stuff that happens when you lose the battle is just kind of left over, but if you click through it you can get back into the battle as many times as you like.

Filburt Shellbach: Nov 6, 2007; Apni tackat say tujay aaj mitta juu gaa!

I'm working on an iOS game for teaching you Japanese in a way that isn't stupid boring.

It uses SpriteKit which initially pissed me off (why can't I just use Core Animation??) but I've grown to appreciate it. I do worry about its long-term viability, but I've been good about separating model from view from controller, so I could still potentially replace it with cocos2d if Apple does gently caress it up.

Currently I'm a little over a month in, almost 10k lines of sweet Objective-C code.

Polished the UI a bit and added a display for the MtG-style stack. Pretty happy with how this is coming, attack animations are really the only major thing missing from the battle system at this point.

Not currently but I think I have a way around that.

The schema validation code is in C (XMLLint) compiled to JavaScript using emscripten, so the schema resolver is in an almost impenetrable mess of minified JavaScript that I'd prefer not to touch. So I can either do the simple thing and resolve included schemas beforehand (being careful to avoid a billion laughs attack), or try to make the schema resolver use XHR. So yeah I think I can get includes working but it might take a few weeks.

I had to look up Carnage Heart on YouTube, but it looks far more complex than what I'm planning to make. My idea boils down to, program a number of robots using the board shown in the GIF, hit play, watch the robots solve a puzzle and/or walk into the nearest wall. I'm basing it more on SpaceChem than anything else.

May I recommend having a tile pool you can also drag from, like SpaceChem? Less clicks and an overview of what you can place is always a good thing. Just thinking in terms of "what made SpaceChem's UI more enjoying than most puzzle games to me" here.

Sounds like robo rally. a competitive game mode with a limited set of tiles (that you draw) and use, would be pretty cool. Robo rally was a fun board game (spinnaz gonna spin).

Sorry for spamming the heck out of this thread ahaha.

I was looking at some neat vector art and wanted to make something similar. I had the idea of overlapping shapes creating a different color based on how many overlaps each shape had. I realised a stencil buffer does pretty counts the overlaps and I could use it, so i whipped this up :catdrugs:

I know and love Robo Rally, so, yeah, I guess it'd be like SpaceChem meets RoboRally (and Carnage Heart, apparently).

I've been watching your Tumblr/in here, and the field looks cool, but I'm not clear on how it features into gameplay. Each "field" looks really small.

Are you thinking, like, NES room-style fields, where when you walk off one side, you page into a new NES-sized overworld "room"? Kinda like Zelda 1? Or is this for something else?

# ? Feb 16, 2014 16:56

DeathBySpoon: Dec 17, 2007; I got myself a paper clip!

Yeah, that's basically what I'm thinking, although they'll be a little bigger than I've shown. If you've played Persona 3, I'm aiming for about the size of one floor of Tartarus. They're small because I'm generating them all in code right now and haven't actually started the map editor. Ideally you'll be able to scale the base tile size to increase or decrease the scale of the environment you're making; bigger tiles for a zoomed out overworld, smaller tiles for interiors and the like. I'm also still toying with the idea of a first person mode for interiors, but I get the feeling a lot of people don't like first person dungeon crawling.

A little bit of shading (even just face normal based) would really help the perception of depth on those fields.

I started messing around with WebRTC for video + chat, and ended up with this weird GIF chat thing: awkwar.de/chat. It doesn't actually use WebRTC anymore, just navigator.getUserMedia + WebSockets.

Unfortunately it only works properly in Chrome. A FF bug makes it only mostly work there.

Playing around with an iOS app for it as well.
