Prince of Java - Pulpcore Prince of Persia like

Very, very nice!! :slight_smile:

feels pretty authentic compared to original NES version. You should definitely find the NES version music and sound effects and add them into the game. Even the animations are very much alike to the original ones, just awesome.

Haha, cool. And I JUST started prototyping a Prince of Persia 4k game :smiley:

It plays pretty nice and seems to have the same controls as the PC version (unless I’m mistaken?), which I played a lot back in the day.
I did get teleported through a door once, though. :confused:

Very nice!

(Although those graphics are probably not legal)

Could you please add another key that does the same thing as control? Control+left and control+right are already taken by OS functions, so now I can’t jump :slight_smile:

hi all,

thanx for responses :wink:

  • i don’t know if the sprites of the Prince are illegal, i found it for free on the web, so don’t know at all …

    all others sprites come from me and a friend who designed it

  • i just saw the bug of the gate, in a particular case, if the gate is closing and you jump while running, a very few time you pass throuht it :-\ i’ll try to solve that

  • i tried to add music and sound, but finding good sounds is not easy at all, and increases a lot the loading time of the applet due to
    their size.
    I wanted the applet to be loaded very fastly (the heigh of the applet is 1.2Mega without sounds …,), so i decided to not
    integrate sounds …

  • for keys, maybe i’ll change a little the options to let the player defines his own keys
    Control is problematic for you, shift can be problematic too …
    (temporarly i added Alt key so you can use now both Alt and Ctrl to jump)

I whish i’ll time to make modifications soon

Thanx for comments !

Um, if you read the text on the spritesheet it says: ‘Sprites Copyright Broderbund’ :-\

For the music, yeah this is true but pulpcore can play .wav files easily. You could probably add 3-4 sound effects (~10-20K each) without a significant increase in your resources size + will greatly enhance the game experience.

NB : something that confuse me is that google can display all web image embedded in their web site “via the search image” without carring about copyright, and they made money with that ! world is sometime so strange… no ?

Great game remake !! and keep your graphics :stuck_out_tongue: , about pulpcore : I really love the seamless of pulpcore => Applet + no popup + nice & smooth graphics and loading , very pleasant to see such a good work !

I did such attempt of clone (just one or two screen… not as much as you !! ) nearly 17 years ago :’( time is going on… anyway I did not reconise the graphics I used, I suppose that there was different graphics depending on platforms mine was looking as below (but with a different player caracter fully white dressed and without hat) :

edit : this one

this is really nice, if it wasn’t for the fact there is no sound and doubt over legality of graphics, I’d put this straight in the featured section.

also game doesn’t work for me on linux, i’m guess this is most likely a file name case issue. (remember the file system is case sensitive).

get this in the console

Asset not found: ressources/images/font/smallArabian.font.png

I got this error too in m console but all run fine

In the US Google has come out clean with “fair use”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_10,_Inc._v._Google_Inc.
In Europe (Belgium, Germany) they’ve been losing copyright cases: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2008/10/google-loses-tw/

ah ok, seems just like a chrome problem then, works fine on firefox.

thanks for those precisions :slight_smile:

EDIT: sorry for being of topic… I recently ear that some news papers was also being “stressed” (dont find another/good word…) by the news module of google as it seems people read the headline their and never go to the website

EDIT: funny that google win invoking a “fair use”, seem that google is an expert in looking cool & fair society, probably this is the new way to go for selling / advertise in our new century …

thanx guys for suggestions !!!

sorry for linux, i don’t have linux at home and didn’t test the game on it, but i’ll try to fix soon the little problem raised with the font to work fine on both system

a lot of people made the same remark about sound, maybe could be fun yes to add musics and sounds, but the search of free sounds takes a lot of time …

maybe something great too i started last month but didn"t finish would be to add ennemis and swords fights …

About the prince sprites, is there a solution for the problem of copyright ? or the only solution is to create my own sprites ???

You can edit them and change them enough so it’s not recognizable … like replacing his head with a donut or a chipmunk .
it’s a lot of work, but probably better than having problems … or maybe just leave it as it is and focus on the other suggestions here :slight_smile:

say you are cool … lol

more seriously maybe start by asking the owner (without pointing your game yet)

hi all,

i made the fix for linux for the font but cant test …
hope it will work !!

good night !

yes, it does work now :slight_smile:

A very good game, played before in a simulator. But this is the on java … :smiley:

Hi all,

i corrected the bug of the Gate (you won’t pass through now when you jump and it’s closing), and few other bugs like a transparence pb with columns and the prince, and spikes …

and for the copyright problem, i had an idea and updated the game in consequence, and now it’s sure sprites are not identifable :

if you have any suggestions to improve that …
