Code: Select all
var i,ii,iii,widhi; i=0;ii=0;iii=0;widhi=sprite_get_height(dot_img)
repeat(4*5)
{
grid_showdot[i]=0
grid_x[i]=widhi*ii
grid_y[i]=widhi*iii
i+=1 ;ii+=1; if ii=4 {ii=0;iii+=1}
}
Sometimes you just gotta do it the brute force way, though.
The solution I found was for both vertical and horizontal rows to be odd numbered, so there could be a center dot on which to base the positions of the others on.
There is actually a test track in there; but it's just that old metal one by IMP that used to be in Flying V. In the meantime, I've just been blasting Raiden Fighters boss music during testing. >_>
I thought Extreme mode was a harder difficulty setting. It probably doesn't help that I had issues picking up the powerups (bloody Compile-era movement's a bitch for me).Rozyrg wrote:Well, I could've waited until the music was done; but I'm just impatient like that.
Underpowered? Do you mean the player or the enemies? Nearly everything is weaker and takes fewer hits in Extreme mode, by the way.
Like MegaTank, the game runs at 45fps as a compromise for HTML5 performance. I wasn't sure about doing this at first; but I was happy enough with how MT ran that I considered it a non-issue afterwards.
Also, I honestly don't want to redo a billion and a half step timers.
Well, I thought it would be when I first put in; but I've come to conclusion it's actually easier (possibly from repeat testing insanity, who knowsBPzeBanshee wrote:I thought Extreme mode was a harder difficulty setting
). I'll probably swap it for a more neutral term like "turbo", which I think would be more appropriate anyways.Thanks! Glad to hear your friends are enjoying them too!Matskat wrote:Gryzor - You should offer your 3 vertical shooters on one CD, charge $25 or something. This way when they are all done, all of us with PCs in our cabinets can show off your games! Last time I had friends over, everyone was ALL OVER XYX and Flying V...I mean ALL OVER THAT SHIT.
Also, when you finish Last Chance, will you be going back to finish XYX and Flying V? I so badly want to pay you for the full games
Good work - awesome stuff!
Might have to put in a SFW option in there if things go as planned, though. If nothing else, I could do the Metal Slug thing and have each letter drop in one by one.BPzeBanshee wrote:Gigachester?
Glad you think so, I really liked the change as soon as I implemented it.BPzeBanshee wrote:Stage 1 felt a bit long to me, didn't help that the randomness killed me every time. Sounds like you got a good idea going there though.
Also, the bosses look very cool. And the cheese ship looks good, reminds me of Alluro's Ultima-X that was in the original Xeno Fighters.
It definitely helps with repetition and I think a slightly steeper challenge is more justified when you don't have a huge stage PLUS a boss to have to wade through.Thank you very much!MommysBestGames wrote:I like the sprite art in your games a lot, especially the vibrant rainbow of colors. XYX title screen monster is very cool. Nice work.
Bright colors and fast bullets are my thing for sure.
