A new RPG Code Challenge (http://http://mysticsoftware.net/challenge.php) is up! The deadline is tentatively scheduled for the 29th (with some new deadline rules, though). Enjoy!
-
*thinks to self - 'should i enter, or no?'*
-
To compltacted for my blood. I might be able to do it but not in pure RPGCode...I'll leave those contests to the pros...
-
hmm.....i know how...i actually wasnt planning on entering the contest until this post, but now i have the best idea!!! this one is going to be fun!
(btw, does anyone know how to make a clicking sound in rpgcode w/o a music file Very Happy )
what is the prize for winning?
-
actually....no i dont....i thought it was ping pong a first....damn......this is too hard to program in RPGcode!!! change it, please!!!!
-
It's not too hard. I hope the thought of changing it doesn't even pass through Xorlak's mind.
-
well then, does anyone want to share any ideas on how its done? Wink
-

Indeed.
I've already programmed breakout about a year ago. I then lost the program though, but now I can program it again, even better Smile
-
what is the prize for winning?
The usual: that graphical trophy image thing MrG made (heh...)
-
yay!! Laughing
hmm...i have to win....but i dont know of any way to make it...must think!! <_< (anyone want to share any ideas?)
-
are you going to view these in the editor, or as a game?
also, do you still get some good credit for making a very sleek start-up and graphics (in the code) ?
-
I'm aiming for something that will play through the RPG Code editor.
Graphics aren't as important as the game itself. I'll mostly be looking at playability and how well it runs (i.e. it's speed, if the display flickers, etc.). Display will play a minor role though, so it won't hurt to spruce it up after you get the main part done.
-
Have you posted about this at TKZ yet?
I just realised that I don't remember seeing anything about it there.
-
ive been working on mine for at least 4 hours now! Razz
-
You should definately post it at TKZ. The Shack's contests are usually much more advanced than TKZ's because it's pure RPGCode, and it might appeal to a few people over there.
-
are you going to enter spyder?
-
Heh...I doubt it. My RPGCode skills have about 3 or 4 years of rust on them.
-
And there isn't anything to rust for me! Laughing
-
so, does that mean that you aren't going to make the rest of the godiva series
Sad ....
-
Oh...he will....*strokes auto shotgun*....Oh! this has nothing to do with the reason your going to finish the series Laughing !
-
so, does that mean that you aren't going to make the rest of the godiva series
Sad ....
It's highly unlikely. It's been four years since the current demo was released, and I still don't even have a solid story for the game. I'd be surprised to even see another demo of Alpha.
-
aww....you should!! i want to at least see the next one!! Sad
-
I haven't even finished the first one! Or do you mean you want to see the next demo? The chances for there being a Demo 2 are far, far, far greater than me making the 2nd or 3rd parts of the series.
-
Why not have it as a sort of generic D&D style story, rather than a generic FF style story? It might make a change. I have the Dungeon Master's Guide. For example, you could have them as "normal" adventurers who are commisioned to clear out some sewers by a local baron, and then it can go on from there and eventually they can fight dragons etc., meanwhile the underlying story of Godiva flows past them and sometimes intervenes and eventually everything can link up and they save the world or whatever.
-
That's pretty much how it is now actually. In the first demo, you basically go into a cave outside the town of Eisle and fight monsters there, until you reach the dragon, which is the first boss. Despite the lack of any real plot, the game did quite well with reviews. If you like games like AD&D or Diablo, Godiva is that style of game, where there's more of an emphasis on creating your character than the story.
-
In that case why not use a generic D&D story?
-
yes, Demo 2!!! I realy likied your character selection screen!! it was cool!
-

Like I just posted, I am Razz
Or do you mean something else?
-
You said there was no plot. So I must have asumed that meant no story. Sorry.
... ... ... Wow. I was just wondering about what the reaction on TKZ would be if you posted new stuff about Godiva and said you were starting up again... :blink:
... ... ... ... Wow. I was just wondering if that happen with Cyrus and D&C... :blink: :blink:
-
....what happened to talking about the RPGCode challenge? Laughing
ive been working on it for at least 10 hours now!! Razz Razz
-
You should definately post it at TKZ. The Shack's contests are usually much more advanced than TKZ's because it's pure RPGCode, and it might appeal to a few people over there.
Sort of didn't want to impede on their contest, but I guess I will anyway.
-
nooooooooo!! dont!!! that lessens my chances of wining!! Sad ......grr...now i have less hope....
-
Actually, you have more hope. This is because there are about 5 or 6 people here who post regularly, and so it is unlikely that the minimum of 5 would be reached without the people at TKZ becoming involved. Anyway, competition is good for you! Razz
-
true...but what about all the...well...no, we have no actual proof that they are good, only that SOME of them can make good graphics, cough*KHIN!!*cough.... but we do have hope, your right...
-
ive now been working 15 hours and climbing!!! Razz
-
*The deadline for the contest has been extended*
-
Dose that mean it's to late or that we can still work? Err...they can still work...I'm not very strong in the ways of RPGCode.
-
thats what i mean in the PM, xorlak)
they can still work, but for me, i can check for errors, cause i turned mine in Very Happy
-
Yes, you can still work on it, resubmit it if you've turned it in, or start if you haven't started yet (heh...). If it doesn't look like we'll get a the minimum five entries after a while, I'll set a final cut-off date for at least two weeks after I make that decision (i.e. there's plenty of time!)
-
i should have an update for you by tomorrow, Xorlak.
(anything new on submissions?)
-
Forget the 5 entries (heh...) The final deadline has be set for Saturday, June 26th. Get those submissions in!
-
Argh! Now I have an actual deadline to work to Sad
Ah, that's plenty of time Razz
-
Not sure if you noticed, but John@aljo was kind enough to mention your contest on the main page over at TKZ. I was going to thank him, but I figured you might want to do it personally Wink
-
Did he? I'll do that right now. (Haven't spent much time at TKZ lately)
-
Sorry, not the main main page, but the main page in the coding section
-
Yep, found it. Wow, June 1st. I'm really late! Heh, thanks for pointing that out.
Also, I'm giving you people way too much time for this. Pounded my version out with less than 6 or 7 hours of work total (heh...)
-
Ah, but if you want nice breakout programs with lots of features from lazy people who have lots of other things they need to do, it takes more time Razz
-

But you're an expert coder. People like Asimir can't do that... they need more time.... they're, how do you say, inferior?
-
Just 24 hours left...
Anything not received by around the time of this post tomorrow is too late. Get those entries in!
-
I better send it to you ASAP then...
-

I thought we had until the very end of the 26th. ie. midnight.
I need this time to add the finishing touches to my game Razz
-
Yeah, forgot I put that up. Nevermind, you have until then, then! (Heh...)
-
Good, because I'm nearly finished and it's gone 4:30 long ago Razz
-
err... is there a limit on the number of .prg files you're allowed?
-
(I know, too late, but still) Nope, no limit.
The contest is now closed. I'll have the results up soon!
-
The results (http://http://mysticsoftware.net/contests/breakout.php) are in!
-
god damn it....i wasnt able to send in my updated system because i was on this stupid vacation at a place w/o internet.....damn....o well, congrads ASIMIR!! Razz
-
Thankyou Smile
I'm about to play your game. I just played Xorlak's and I played Niloc's ages ago. They were both very good Smile
-
Wow. Very nice graphical effects.
-
Somehow I knew Asmir would win...
-
I know!! I had some how invisioned him winning..... (....really...) ......but i still hoped i would Razz
Hey Xorlak, next time, you should try doing something a bit less touchy....maybe a fighting game or something? (if that were so, outside graphics should be allowed...) but you get the idea....more of a game instead of a minigame.... B)
-
You mean a RPG with fighting? I don't think I'd want to attempt a tournament style fighting game with the Toolkit (heh...)
-
aww...well.......lets try to do something with a character sort of thing next time
