Elevator4k

Contests 4K Game Competition - 2009
#1

ok… here is my tentative for this year… a remake of the old arcade Elevator Action.

http://howlerbr.game-host.org/elevator4k.jnlp

If webstart does not work please run the jar file

http://howlerbr.game-host.org/elevator4k.jar

Hope I have time to finish yet and also that a have enough space to add better graphics

Please let me know your thought about it.

P.S.: I’m having a problem when jumping inside the elevator. Try jumping when the elevator is going down and then when it is going up… I think my calculation is missing something… need time to figure it out.

please give another try. The server was down.

I think your JNLP file points to the incorrect location:

oopss I’m sorry I forgot to change while publishing to the server. I also needed to sign the jar. Why do I need to do that? I’ve added some new features:

  • elevator now stops in each floor
  • player is able to control elevator between floors
  • logic to enter and exit from secret doors

still pending:

  • add graphics to replace that ridiculous gray box
  • fix the jump problem when the player is inside the elevator
  • fix building graphics
  • add enemies

You only need to sign the jar if you are going fullscreen, using native libs or reading/writing to the local system.

ps. Good job so far. Looks a lot like the original

#7

If you aren’t using full screen, load native libs, print, read/write files etc… remove the following section from your jnlp and stop signing it.
