Homebrew Can some possible make a game like this

[SMZ2]

I will look at the helicopter stuff

About Bloxavoid someone suggested a few new features to be implemented.
Some of it is currently being worked on:
Wifi - Add highscores
New music
Motion sensor/pack support - since we dont have one we cant test it :/ wont be implemented
Settings instead of the "omg beta version no settings". (Different control styles)

Wow your awesome keep me updated

 

[SMZ2]

love thew game, Wio Wio can you make helicopter www.helicopter-game.org thanks

There is a homebrew game called ribbon that is similar to the helicopter game I don't have a link so I'd just search it.

+1 xD! Awesome job WioWao (and your brother too)! I don't like the flat triangle much, but its not like its important anyways (we aren't looking at the triangle afterall, just those acursed blox). I like the speed up! thing too (totally caught me by surprise while I was just thinking to myself that it was a little slow moving xD).

first of all i have to say that you made an amazing homebrew there :thumbs up:

some suggestions for new features:
- dunno if possible yet but it would be nice if you could control the ship with your stylus
- if the cubes and the ships are generated via code would it be possible to add the possibility to change the colors in the options?
- maybe add more sounds and following in the options:
sound:
( ) play sound1
( ) play sound2
...
( ) play random sound
- a more 3d-ish ship

Controlling with stylus is easy to do. Will be added.
Cube color shouldnt be too big of a problem either. Will also be added.
But what do you mean with the sound 1 and 2 ?

More music or?

And the heligame is looking like this so far :

Im using the engine from another 2D game im making

Was too lazy to remove health/mana bars xD

I have seen quite a few requests for "ports" of flash games. I have always been curious as to why no one has ever written a flash player for the DS. I know that at one point the player was open sourced, not sure what that status is now that Adobe own the flash brand.

If the flash player was ported to the ds, most flash games would be almost drag/drop.

No way in hell are DS games coded in C or C+ either.

You lose.

Please document yourself before posting things you are "sure of".

Also, iPhone apps are coded in ObjectiveC, that is quite close to C++.

Because the DS doesn't have enough power to do it on its own. http://natrium42.com/blog/?p=36 is as far as anyone ever got with it.

You are awesome!!!

Bloxavoid.
idea
Controls

1) left and right trigger to move.
2)Y and A to move.
3) both 1,2 and normal controls to move?

Life mode? 3 to 4 life?

Different size blocks?

I have some fond memories of sitting in class and playing this game on my old TI-82 back in the 5th grade. I'll definitely keep an eye on this from updates.

 

[WioWao]

EDIT: For some reason this wont run on my DSi O.o Can somebody else confirm this? Runs on Phat DS!
EDIT2: Running on DSi now after starting the game with wifi turned off. Dont know if thats what fixed it though.
Bloxavoid has been updated to 0.9
Changes:
More music (Playlist/Shuffle etc etc)
Wifi Scores
Different controls including stylus control
Various bugfixes.

To do:
Apparently some tunes never end, regardless of the loop setting. This i probably caused by jump tags in the mod-files.
Sometimes the game crashes while uploading scores.
Sometimes a timeout never occurs when using wifi to connect to the server, causing an endless loop.
More variating gameplay.
Add a control layout for steering with y/a.
Improve upload/download speed if possible.
Use double buffer to prevent flickering screens.
Add different color schemes

Possible bugs:
Timer overflow after 2 hours of gameplay without dying
Score overflow

Just some imput, but dificulty levels would make the game more fun. It takes to 4,000 points for the game to get hard. It's just an idea though.

 

[KingVamp]

Does not work with my dsi or ds phat and Bloxavoid.hsc file is there is that normal?

Also u should put your name in the title screen in credits or something....

 

[niedy]

Hsc is the highscore file for your offline highscores. I dont know why it doesnt work. Will try to fix.

QUOTE(niedy @ Oct 25 2009, 09:45 PM) are you still working on helicopter??? thanks for the upate

Yup just need to add highscores, add a menu and adjust the difficulty a bit.

 

[EliteKill]

Wow, nice! For the helicopter, may I suggest something?

The game on the website is quite slow-paced compared to another helicopter-like popular game, iCave on the iTouch/iPhone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCt-6A92Aw8

Tried both, and I must say iCave is more fun. Anyways, great job!

 

[niedy]

[nickbaker50]
