SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

QuoteSo I would prefer "2)" to see all that jiggely-diggely-movement.

@ tunes
As the game plays from "80s on" and the basic game idea was "Mad TV" (which is done in the late 80s/early 90s) ... Just watch youtube for the "Mad TV Intro (DOS Version)" - or even more music "Mad TV - IBM-PC AdLib Soundtrack [Emulated]"

Will add in a jiggely-diggely-movement version ( movement and rotation ) when I add in the Windowed version. Tunes - OK, will give it a go.

Nice! These were really polished! I especially liked Galaxy Defender and Rescue Rob. Nice smooth feel to the gameplay. I'm impressed you managed to make four games for the competition when I barely managed one.

Thanks, glad you liked it

Think the color palette of your choice suits pretty well to "arcade games" (because of its vibrance and "differentiateability").


The enemy movement  in the first game / first level - is it a kind "move until you hit a wall/barrier/cannot-move"? If so how did you avoid that they climb up latters they just climbed down?.

The movement of the enemies is not random but down to a routine I did specially to handle simple enemy creation, animation, movement and collision.

Below is the setup for the enemies on level 1 :


// enemy type, x tile, y tile, speed, animation frames, delay between frames, animation, collision width, collision height, speccy colour
// animation string L R U D + tiles to move. if moving more than 9 tiles then repeat command, eg R9R2
// HandleEnemies() is called in game to do the magic.

CreateEnemy( 2, 8, 16, 0.25, 7, 6, "R9R9L9L9", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 1, 14, 11, 0.50, 9, 3, "R9R3L3L9R4U7R9R5L5L9D7L4", 11, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 32, 21, 0.25, 7, 6, "R9R9R9L9L9L9", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 1, 42, 4, 0.50, 9, 3, "R9R3D7R2L2L9L1R1R9U7L3L9", 11, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 34, 16, 0.25, 7, 6, "R4L4", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 68, 5, 0.25, 7, 6, "L4R4", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 82, 5, 0.25, 7, 6, "R4L4", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 64, 11, 0.25, 7, 6, "R4L4", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 86, 11, 0.25, 7, 6, "L4R4", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 68, 16, 0.25, 7, 6, "L4R4", 8, 14, 7 )
CreateEnemy( 2, 82, 16, 0.25, 7, 6, "R4L4", 8, 14, 7 )


Ahh .. so a predefined route. Thanks for the insight.
