Hi,
1)Whats logic behind Geometry Wars that changes ur weapon type? i dont get it, is it random?

2)whats that number multiplying on top right corner of bottom screen? it doesnt go beyond 150 and it seems that it doesnt do anything.

2) it doesnt multiply anything for me. since you have to die in order to finish a level (there is no goal to achieve and finish a level) and when you die, that multiplier goes zero.

It multiplies how many points you get for killing an enemy. I don't get whatever else you are trying to ask. The object of a level is to get a high score. You also get medals for reaching certain goals.

i think i got it, thnx.
(i missed a SINCE in that sentence, i think its now more clear).

what about weapon changes? whats the pattern?
sometimes when i just start shooting, it changes, even before appearing a first enemy. (my god, how a triangle can be your enemy?)

Dunno about this one, but the original Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, the weapon changed based on score. Once you reached a certain score, it would switch automatically.

In Galaxies it depends on how many enemies are on the screen when you spawn. If you don't die from the beginning, theres a set time for when your gun changes. Starting at 1 stream, 3 stream, 5 stream then it'll alternate between 5 stream and 3 rapid fire.

Every 350 geoms, your weapon changes. However, after awhile the weapon only occasionally switches back and forth between two types. Every 5000 geoms, you get another life.

Also, you get more experience based on how long you spend on a level, and nothing else.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
