Better yet, have it on github and have the download link point to the latest version. Then the link will never be out-of-date.

#22

ERROR for me:

It says that file can’t be found but it is indeed in the present directory.

#23

OP, you can try using the “parent” directory. Try “./maps/map1.txt” (Periods are very crucial while working in… different file systems. Like macs.)

#24

When using the W, A, S, D controls, it’s possible to move on top of a wall tile by moving up.

This bug only presents when using W, A, S, D controls and once on top of the wall tile the only place it seems I can move is back onto the grass.

#25

You need to download the latest version, 1.1 for this bug to be fixed. I’m sorry if this confused you.

#26

That is a bug. It will be fixed in the release of Alpha 1.2 (Coming out Wednesday-ish).

#27

Ok, will do. Thanks for the feedback.

#28

Mazer Alpha 1.2 has been released! (A day early!)

Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7k5a7su5v9epir/MazerAlpha1.2.zip

New Features:

  • Building blocks (grass and stone), for people who like to make maps.

  • Zombie Cows! (Sadly, just the graphic for it.)

  • Heart system!

  • A Easter Egg! Hint: Press C! (I’d like to hear if any of you know what I’m referring to!)

Removed Features:

  • WSAD controls. They were too buggy. (May be re-added in the future)

Any suggestions, comments, and/or feedback can be posted here or sent by PM to me.

#29

Now it works. Nice music. Now add more levels and this will be cool.

#30

Actually, I included the map1.txt so you could make your own maps. A guide for this is above. The way the code is structured, including another pre-made map with the game would require a lot of unnecessary code. Thanks for the feedback, however, and have fun!

#31

Not to mean offensive, but thinking of mods for an incomplete game?

#32

Yes actually. I prefer user generated content to my own. I myself think that the textures and map I have supplied are horrible. That’s why I’m including them so people can make them better if they want. No offense taken.

#33

Any ideas for Alpha 1.3?

#34

GUI, and Level editor :slight_smile:

#35

A main menu where you can load all the maps/txt map files and play whatever level you want without having to rewrite the level.

#36

Thank you for your suggestions. These are things I need to get around to, and they will turn up in the next version.

#37

I had some time over the weekend, and I decided to revisit Mazer and improve on it. The result was Mazer 1.3. A change log is below:

New Features:

  • Better Graphics (Re-did the grass texture, as well as the zombie cow and spikes texture)

  • If your player touches the spikes or zombie cow, you now go back to the start.

Removed Features:

  • All those useless blocks. I mean, what was I thinking? (You know, dirt, water, stone…)

  • Hearts. They were too buggy.
