Author Topic: Just the little sidescroller I'm making.  (Read 1263 times)

It's a game where you can reprogram your enemies AI, among other things. The AI language is Lua and the program was made in C++
Though you can get though most levels at the moment by just killing and using grenades effectivly.
To progress you'll usually just have to kill every bot, but other objectives can be scripted into levels.


The main menu, the game starts here.

Pretty basic at the moment, most of the actual options are edited in "prefs.txt" in the directory of the game.
Other than making those prefs changable ingame (which I'll do), feel free to suggest other things to provide as options.

This could use a bit more work making it self explainatory.
But basically you click one of the levels preview images (this can be edited separatly from its actual backround) to open it.

Here you can add items, add mobs, change mobs behavior, delete items and mobs, and paint tiles.
Right click is menus, left click is paint tile (including blank).
Control + s is save, and escape is go back.

This is the actual game, while maybe not the best screenshot, it shows what you'll see at first.
The controls are explained ingame, and can also be edited in that prefs.txt

The scripting window.
Basically a primitive text editor.
Control + s to save, escape to leave without saving.
To make new scripts for your own levels, you can just create/edit them with an external program.

Other notes:
The sprites are not permanent by any means, they're just a test of the animation.
Maps have their own "map script" (map/#/script.txt) which could let you make senarios, bosses, and missions more varied than just "kill everyone".
If you want to make levels for the actual release (if there is one) just send them to me as a zip of the map/level folder.
Feel free to post whatever comments you have about the game, but realize it's a work in progress.
If you want to make content for the game (sprites, art, levels, music) just let me know, I'd love help.

It's really nice how you added a level editor, this could be a success if you keep your head up and add many graphical modifications.

Thanks man.
Problem with graphics is I can't draw for stuff. Most of this is either taken from free sources on the internet, or scribbled up by me.

I think it goes more in creativity.

Let's face it, this is going to get maybe a page of replies at most, then die quickly.
Might as well get those replies while I'm still awake.

I suck at drawing too, but hey you could get probably somebody who is good with graphic designing to assist you.
