Hey folks! I’m half of a two man game design team, trying to get the word out about our existence. I found this wiki, which looks pretty awesome, and thought “this looks like a good place!”.

You should definantly come see our website! It’s at http://arfdob.webs.com/ and although we only have one game for sale as of now (Anaconda other A), it’s super mega awesome fun-fun addicting! ;D I’ve also been looking at some of the other games on this site, and some of them are pretty sweet! :smiley:

Drop by our website! And I look forward to trying some of the other games on this page!

I don’t think anyone will pay 5 bucks without being able to test it first… did you consider making a demo (maybe only easy mode)?

Kind regards,
Mike

Thank you for that, I’m actually working on a demo, but was putting very little effort into it because I figured people didn’t care. Now I know they do, I will devote my full attention to it. Could you recommended any tutorials for converting existing .jar files into applets?

Thanks!

If you have a class that extends Applet then:


<applet code="package.names.and.applet.class" archive="jarfilename.jar" width=500 height=500></applet>

I tried extending JApplet, and it ran, but there were no graphics. In the mean time, there should be a .jar demo download available within the hour. An applet version will follow, and thanks for the help!

Agh I don’t feel like registering to download the demo :confused:

#7

Oh, that, you don’t have to anymore. Lol, sorry, that was sort of the default…

#8

Don’t forget to change the link on the blog post on the front page :wink:
(still links to WEBPROTECT-download.htm)

I just played the demo and that was very nicely done! Gameplay was smooth and fun.
Good luck! ;D

#10

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it ;D

#11

Tried it and while it worked fine I have three findings:

  1. When driving off the board it seems random where you spawn, wouldn’t it be easier to come driving from the other side (loop the playing field)?
  2. Apples can spawn so that only a pixel or so is visible on the screen and the rest is outside, take the size of the graphic into account when spawning them.
  3. 5 bucks for something that would take less than 10 hours to create yourself? That’s pushing it :stuck_out_tongue:

I was thinking quite the same thing…
