Is this your first game?
It was going to be a variation of Hulk, but I never finished putting the frames in. His animations suck, and he looks like crap, but he still works.
Those frames were just place holders until I got the real Hulk in, but I never got that far. Notice how he turns into a normal person while he\'s climbing a latter.
This is my first major game, but I did make a couple more between my first and second years of Computer Science class. My very first game was a horse racing gambling game. You chose a horse, placed money on it, and then they raced. The graphics were done in BGI (a very bad, very basic graphics engine.) The horses were just represented by different colored circles.
It was actually pretty fun, but I lost the source and the EXE file (D\'oh!
) I could probably make that game again in a day now, but back then it was a huge accomplishment.
After that, I made a game called Cat Mouse. You were a cat, and the object was to run around killing as many mice as possible. The blood effects were cool.
At the same time, you had to dodge the dogs that were attacking you. It was a great concept, but it was very hard to do in BGI graphics. The mice, cat, and dogs were represented by a picture of their head that I drew in BGI and then saved it in the buffer. The AI was pretty crappy, and because it was in BGI and I didn\'t know anything about timers back then, there was frequent slowdown. But it was still a great game. Like my horse racing game, I lost the source code and the EXE file for this.
I used Allegro to write Sumasshu. It is by far the most challenging game I\'ve made. I redid the collision detection like 3 or 4 times, each time taking weeks and weeks to do, each time improving on the last. The CD is still a little buggy, and I was working on it yet again when I ran out of time on this game.
Thanks for the good feedback guys.
