Hi, been hanging out here for a while without registering… and I made this game a few weeks ago for some school project…

Wonder if you guys have some feedback to give Constructive critisicm … or something like that… is appreciated

Most of the text is in norwegian, but it’s fairly easy to understand anyway. Start the game by pressing “nytt spill”, and control everything with the arrows (and enter to select).

(Oh, btw… if you wonder why the music disappears after stopping and starting 16 times, don’t ask… :wink:

After pressing “nytt spill” (‘new game’?) I got the playfield, but I couldn’t understand what to do next. Clicked everywhere but nothing happened. ???

I liked the ‘shaft’ tune.

Why does the music disappear after stopping and starting 16 times? (sorry, I couldn’t resist ;D)

#3

Oh, right. The ‘enter’ key. So you said ::slight_smile:

Nice work! :slight_smile:

#4

Very nice! :slight_smile: One of the most well done java games I have ever seen

#5

Thanks :slight_smile:

I’m pretty satisfied with it myself… it being my first game and all… We made it in a project, group of four… but I did most of the programming. While others stole textures from other games… cough and made maps… :slight_smile:

Oh, and one more thing… To see all the maps, and you don’t want to play them… use the n-button for noclip.

In the levels it allows you to go through all obstacles, and on the map it allows you to pass unfinished levels.

nice one :slight_smile:

i like the way u can scroll through the “credits.txt” file - that looks really cool :slight_smile:

#7

Thanks :slight_smile:

btw… in the credits-ting you can both press numbers and up/down left/right … had a dream about a credits-thing like that one night, and just had to put it into the game… once i had the scroller working ok, it didn’t take much work… :slight_smile:

That’s a really great game! The Zelda graphics with the Twin Peaks music feels odd, but I like the final result. Even the details like how you handled the credits are great! If I had one suggestion, it would be make a Full Screen version. Other than that, it’s perfect! Good job!

#9

Quite nice.

I took the liberty to crack open the velo.jar to see if there were any I18N files for things like the menu texts. Didn’t see any :frowning:

One thing I did notice is that all your classes are in the unnamed package. While realisticly it isn't a problem, according to the [url=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/packages.doc.html#26639]JLS 7.4.2[/url] it could be. [quote]An implementation of the Java platform must support at least one unnamed package; it may support more than one unnamed package but is not required to do so. Which compilation units are in each unnamed package is determined by the host system. [/quote]

Great music!

Thanks for all the comments so far!

leknor, what do you mean by I18N files? … what’s that? … and … uh… well… I don’t really understand the stuff about packages… :slight_smile: Anyone got a nice tut, faq or something about packages? :slight_smile:

Oh, and about the full screen version, we thought about it, but since we had limited time, I didn’t take the time to learn how to do it… :slight_smile:

edit: aah… I-nternationalizatio-n :wink: … i’ll read about it tomorrow… :slight_smile:

addition: ok. I’ve had a few beers, and I’m too awake to go to sleep. Check the old link for an english version. Ignore any bad spelling or grammar… :slight_smile:
And, noticed that i’ve missed one pop-up-info-box-thing… ignore that one too… :slight_smile:

Packages? Well, here’s a link to the Java tutorial which has some great information. Click here!

Not usually my sort of thing, but I enjoyed it. Good to see something that looks the part and is fun to play.
