I counter that with possibly the most beautiful planet in our solar system.

Today's progress has been bullets - lots of bullets. A multi-directional grid both in the game and in the code. Oh, and probably the most basic coder art you will ever see. Except you won't. Because I won't allow it. However, it will do for now while I attempt to make this into an actual game.

The second screenshot gives an idea about how I'm using the grid element - although it's only for inspiration - and only part of the game.

Todays progress has been.... absolutely nothing :o - Not even started on the comp yet :( Hopefully at the end of next week I can begin ( famous last words ). If I can't start by the end of next week then I'll have to bow out of this comp so I'll be working at top speed to get the important work finished ;D

:-X - bad news

I've finally got a name: "Honey Quest" :D - good news

I now have things to shoot at. They're don't move and are just there to get in the way but they will give a tiny bit of score as they get blasted to nothing which is as good a reason as any to destroy them, as well as clearing a path.

I also have a name I think I'm going with - Creepy Crawlies.

Oh yes, and there are planets. All Nine of them. YES! Pluto does count as far as I'm concerned.

I think I'm in ... wip screenshot below.  Think time pilot but with asteroid style controls.  Toying with Retro Shooter or Retro Endless (shooter).

I decided to take a few hours tonight to at least get something started or else I never will :P

Time permitting I'll be going for Retro / Endless in the style of the old retro pseudo 3D road based games. Got some ideas and plans and tonight I managed to code up the raw workings of a pseudo 3D road with curves, slopes and dips in the road. Heaps to do yet but I wanted to make a start to push me along ;D

Nice. Mode7?
I wish there were such a feature in AGK but that's a SNES thing :P - this is a fully custom coded pseudo 3D road which doesn't follow any online method ;D

Impressive bit of coding - very smooth road movement there...But why 3 sets of white lines instead of the usual one?  That looks odd to have 3, if they're extra lanes then the outside lanes look a bit too narrow.

Annndd...
Another name change: From 'Honey Quest' to 'Honey Things'

after a quick google it seems that 'honey quest' is a popular/peculiar one handed game - ewww!

Derron

Seems google gives you different results than to me (I see board games and some game apps for children). Maybe google thinks you are looking for something else... wonder why ;)

some lunchtime ideas (not looked up if existing already):
Honey Hugsters
Honey Harrier
Honey Hurry
Honey Hooray
Tales of Honey
Tales from the Hive
Feast Honey Beasts / Feast Beasts: The journey for honey
Hilarious Honey Hell
The Honey Capoodle
The Honey Plot
Holy Honey Deluxe

bye
