Toppling Towers (Tricky Towers clone with source code)

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

I happened to see Tricky Towers on “Dara O’Briain Goes 8-Bit” (anyone else watch that?). I’d never seen it before, and since I was currently using JBox2D for various experiments, I decided to knock up a quick version called Toppling Towers. Currently it’s the bare-bones of a game, but it’s multiplayer up to 3 people and pretty fun.

The game play is simple: be the first player to build a tower that crosses the finish line.

Full source is now available at https://bitbucket.org/SteveSmith16384/trickytowers

This should “just work”, and includes Eclipse project files. I know how annoying it can be trying to get someone else’s source code to work!

Features:

  • Can handle PS4 controllers (and maybe X-Box but I don’t have any to test)
  • Uses a simple entity system
  • Same-screen multiplayer
  • Uses JBox2D

I’ve tried to compile using Eclipse and works like a charm, but why don’t provide a build to anyone ?

Btw I have to try with someone else :smiley:

Err, laziness in all honesty! And the fact there’s always something else that needs doing. I’ll release something though.
