Protoship 2

Showcase
#1

Protoship 2 is a Shump (Touhou, Gradius, R-Type) that is different from others in that the enemy waves before the boss are random. This makes it so that you have to relay on reflexes rather than memory. Protoship 2 also offers some very nice power-ups in the form of double shot lasers, misses, a shock-wave that can cut through many enemies at once, and a screen obliterating bomb. Protoship 2 has three differant difficulties, so even those who are not normally good at Shmups can have fun with this, and also includes full-screen support, multiple profiles, and can run on any OS with Java installed.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: protoship

Also, don’t make people run stuff via sh or bat! Nobody is going to risk that!

#3

It’s not going to work like that. Run the .bat, take a look at it with edit, it’s safe.

#4

Most people wont test (including me) if its not webstart or an applet.

#5

is this in jogl?

cause if so look at goussej’s webstart for TUER. You can include it in the jnlp.

#6

That’s not true. Why shouldn’t you? There’s no difference between a signed webstart app and running a bat. You have to run exes all the time to try out game demos and stuff. Where’s the problem with a bat-file?

#7

cause not many people bother to learn about bat’s (me NOT included 8)).

just right click, press edit, check for anything saying “del C:\WINDOWS” and your good :).

#8

works here.
I think the game speed is way too fast and there are lots of unfair situations where you can’t escape the enemy bullets.

#9

too fast to play here, looks like the game speed is frame based and not time based.

#10

I agree with h3ckboy. The difference is that a seven-year-old child only has to click on “Ok” several times with Java Webstart whatever the operating system, it is easier than using a bat file. I won’t test this game while the author doesn’t spend a few minutes to write a JNLP file to ease the installation.

Excellent suggestion :slight_smile:

#11

btw, that quote is not by me :P.

I was pointing towards people trying it btw. :wink:

EDIT: I do prefer a webstart though. This is java after all.

#12

pretty cool game

are the scores online or jsut on your pc?

cause if online then I am the best player, but I highly doubt that cause ll of the others are blank spots.

#13

You can do more with a bat or a sh if you want to. You can practically anything with it. And obviously I did try to run it, but first I opened up the sh to see what it does.

#14

I thought sh was linux?

is it same for mac?

#15

So you can with a signed web start application. I really don’t see any difference at all,but well…it’s off topic anyway.
About the game: As others have mentioned it already: It plays way too fast. And the colors look somehow LSDish to me.

Mac OS X is built on Unix, so is Linux. Hence all the X’s.
