A while ago I made this QUIX-game:

http://stephan.syska.dk/javating/quix/quix.zip

I just finished the sequel, which is a little different.
The concept is the same, but now you just use arrow keys instead.

SPACE = RESTART

What ya think?

The zip files contain graphics, a jar file and a batch file. The batch file includes the command line for running the jar files. Look inside them if you want to run the jar files manually.

just added a screenshot. what ya think?

#3

Maybe I’m just turning into Cas, But any chance of sticking up a JNLP link ??

#4

I’m really going to have to find another name. I had no idea that Quix was already an old arcade game.

Nice looking screenshot though, how about a jnlp?

#5

well I dont know how to do webstart. By the way, its just downloading the zipfile and run the batch file that includes to code. No hard work.

#6

Unfortunately as I discovered when I previewed my stuff a while back, most people won’t look at it unless they have a convenient little JNLP clicky. Most people (myself included) are just lazy :slight_smile:

D.

#7

Its not really just downloading, bat files only run on windows so other OS users have to play about. Everytime you produce an update a new zip file, a new extraction a new fiddle…

Its looks very nice btw,

very nice game! is the source avaiable?

#9

What exactly would you like to know how I made?

#10

yes, that’s it! :wink: I was trying to do a quix4k for the 4k contest but is not very simple to do, so I’d like to see how you did it

#11

Well would you like me to explain a specific part in details?

#12

This game reminds me something ;D

It looks very nice btw 8)

#13

There was a similar game for a previous 4K compo:
http://www.goldenstudios.or.id/products/games/index.php
look for magic cutter. Doesn’t look as nice as Quix 2, but is a very nice game, and source is available at the link. Author hangs around here as well, but cant recall nick right now.

#15

actually, if you release the source then I will take a look ai it and if I have some question, I will ask to you. I will try by myself first.

#16

The game looks good, but the animation isn’t smooth. Also, every time I die I can’t figure out how to restart the game.

#17

SPACE = RESTART

ok, what the hell. Its no commercial game though :wink:

I have the jar file including the java files here:

http://stephan.syska.dk/javating/quix2/quix2_source.jar

To see the graphics you will need change the directory inside the Info.java file.

The String named ‘dir’ containes the path, and if the graphics are at D:\games\quix2\images
then dir should be “D:/games/quix2/”
Notice the use of slash instead of backslash and notice that the last char of the string is a slash.

I have made a javafile containing such infos to make it easy to change the directory for all graphics in the game.

Hope you make it work. :slight_smile:

#18

thank you very much! :smiley: I will see if I can figure out what I am doing wrong in my game until the deadline of the 4k contest.

Reading is hard :stuck_out_tongue:

Was that meant as reading others codes in general?

Or was i meant as reading my code peticular?

Or was it ironical ?
