Beat The Bully - The Walk Home...

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

This was my first experiment with Java2D and was produced over a short weekend prior to National Anti-Bullying Week 2011 (more info: http://www.antibullyingweek.co.uk/). Please be warned that this, as much as it is complete, still has a few bugs. This has been sitting about my projects folder for ages, so I thought it best to spruce it up and share it with you guys!

Above: This is the title screen, due to time limitations I made it within the game frame.

More Info

  • Pokemon styled, four-way walking
  • Border protection using solid X/Y coordinates
  • Three ‘bullies’ to confront
  • End text varies based on how the user acts
  • BUG: Player is not stopped until they release the walking key

Download
The game and relevant sprites can be downloaded at the link below. Mac and Linux users will need to follow the instructions in ‘MACREAD’, whilst Windows users can just click ‘RUNME’.

For those with issues running the game, drag all of the images in the ‘abw’ folder into your C:/ drive. I couldn’t work out relative images before I finished the project.

Tried it on Windows using the runme.bat. It seems that it can’t find it’s files…all i’m getting it a window with white text on a light grey background.

#3

Same problem as EgonOlsen.

#4

For those with issues running the game, drag all of the images in the ‘abw’ folder into your C:/ drive. I couldn’t work out relative images before I finished the project.

#5

I did try that and it still wouldn’t work :clue:

#6

Drag the images onto the root of the drive where the jar is running from, aside from that: sorry it didn’t work, it was only my first experiment with Java and still needs some pruning.

#7

Ok that worked, since I download files to my E drive. I just dragged them all to the root of the E: drive.

I believe I showed you in the other thread how to load images relative to the JAR.

#8

Yeah, you did, this was uploaded before I worked that out. :stuck_out_tongue: I must look like a total idiot to you.

#9

Oh no you don’t, I know that you released this before the other thread :wink:
