Ni

Showcase
#1

Hi lads!

Here I am with my first game ever, I’m pretty excited right now ;D

So, I guess I’d better tell you what it’s about. Ni (which is Japanese for ‘two’) is an arcade game.
The graphical part is coded using javax swing (I know you guys don’t like that very much, do you :wink: ).
What I’m proud of is that I only used Windows notepad and command prompt :point:

Okay, so I’m sure you know breakout-style games, what’s new here is that you have two — uh, how would you call them? racquets maybe — to move instead of one. I promise you it’s more difficult than what you’d think (or maybe I’m a real noob on my own game 8) ).

About the key bindings, well, default is Q - D to move the northern — uh, racquet — and K - M for the southern one, but these are modifiable in the options menu, especially if you’re on a QWERTY keyboard :smiley:
The speed of the game can also be controlled, in case you need more (or less) difficulty :wink:

Err, that’s about it, here is a video to show you the game a little better than my english allows me to ;D

Oh, and yeah, a JRE version of 1.8.0 at least is needed (that’s the version in which I coded it, maybe it will also run with lower versions).

Thank you guys for trying out my game and for any review, comment, critique, whatever :wink:

(Excuse my English please :emo: )

Looks very good! FYI, I tried it on OS X (10.10.3), and it locked up after I clicked the ‘play’ button (had to force quit). While it was locked up, the window was jumping around in an odd way, as if the window was constantly being repositioned or something. Anyway, maybe that info will be useful to you.

Mega.co.nz is no more working. It says NAME_CANNOT_BE_RESOLVED error. Alternate download link please?

#4

Well, the frame is supposed to be repositioned to full screen at that point… It’s a JFrame and what I do is the JFrame.setSize() method using JFrame.EXTENDED_BOTH, does that normally work on OS X? :persecutioncomplex:
Would you please open the game and go to options>Al? The frame is supposed to be resized but without EXTENDED_BOTH.

There you go:
• .exe: http://goo.gl/JCQYoG
• .jar: http://goo.gl/6SyWqO

Thanks :slight_smile:

I can’t help thinking about the knights who say: “Ni”. :wink:

#6

I get the same behavior there as well.

#7

Well, that’s awkward. I’ll make a debugged version this afternoon with no frame resizing :slight_smile:

#8

Unfortunately, both the above links keeps showing this message.

Seems like the problem comes from Google URL Shortener, give it a try with Bitly maybe:
(EXE) http://bit.ly/1CbPmXJ
(JAR) http://bit.ly/1ffns8m
In case this one’s not working, there you go for the full links :persecutioncomplex:
(EXE) http://www.mediafire.com/download/22z45s2r975hmag/Ni+for+Windows.zip
(JAR) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4rg64pqct1kqxew/Ni.jar

Would you please tell me if the Bitly links work, in such a case I would replace the goo.gl with the bit.ly in the original post :wink:

For future reference with goo.gl, see their policy:

[quote]Do not use goo.gl for URLs that are either executable/package files (like .apk, .dmg, .exe, .zip, etc.) or that contain only IP addresses, or for shortening URL re-directors (either off goo.gl or via other URL shortening services).

Yeah the Bit.ly links are working fine. But chrome is blocking your ZIP saying that it is malicious.

When I tried to recover it, avast kicked in and deleted the entire ZIP file. But your JAR version is fine, it worked without any hassle.

#12

Well I don’t know what your computer is made of, but it really won’t let you do anything right :persecutioncomplex:
But you managed to download the JAR which is nice :smiley:
