SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Hmm, making it so an indie game is complete able in 15 mins.... I think it's to constraining for indie coding fun. My working life has killed my coding mojo 4 a bit, still dabble a little.... Hey ho, there u go!

Sincerely, though, the diversity & quality of the entrants for the last compo was ace. 😁👌😘

Maybe for the next comp we need to rope in actual gamers  Let's be honest - most Devs give shite feedback and aren't really your target audience. Maybe also have a constraint that each game must be completeable (is that a word) in 15 minutes max - good for voters and devs alike? 

Non-devs typically give worse feedback from my own experience!

The issue I had with voting was time... I would like the voting to go on for a little bit longer, maybe two weeks instead of the one, to increase the number of eyeballs.

If someone has any errors in the game - please specify what exactly and what operating system.

If I understood, someone else's computer player crashed at every turn. It's very strange ... The computer on which this happens would have to count differently ...

With a computer player you can win without any problems even if it does not fly out, which can be seen in the movie, where the computer is programmed to drive even faster. The question of training ...

I added 2 stages to the game, where you turn with 2 keys, without speed control. this is what the 2nd stage looks like:

Woah! Is that even the same game. that computer player does look challenging but at least you're not sliding off all the time, and keeping just the one view is a much better idea than both top-down and the 45' angle. You put a few more tracks, some variation in the cars and make the collisions better between the two cars and you've got a game there. Probably also have an option to slow it down a bit, just for the old farts like me.

it is not the same game (anymore?)  ... compo entry was a "line racer" this one is "free racer" like. Also I found it odd that the car struggled / stuck at one corner but on the next it just drove over it without any slowdown (Collision checks ...)

Assume this is the "non-one-button-limit" game version

What do you mean by "some variation in the cars"? Normally it's a bit slower, there is a "pro" level in the movie.

Here is the presentation of an earlier version - 3 stages with different views:

This is a skill game, I don't play around with nuances. A real simulator is planning a motorcycle, but I don't know if it is a next stage or a separate game.

@MrmediamanX>>cool and nice game, it reminds me the skate / roller / bmx games i have played on ps1 and ps2   

however the gameplay is too difficult imo, but a good start nonetheless
