Retro games

[Connors]

There are some things that I/we could program ourselves, I could help with that since it doesn't involve playing through levels so much.

But is there a way you could make sure it reset to the save point on its own without forcing the player to load a game again?

I'm pretty new to SC, but if it's anything like GM, the saving is pretty confusing. I'd say if Eq never comes back to stick to the normal saving system. He'll probably know how to do some of that saving stuff though. Some of the other people around here are pretty good at SC. They could try to adopt the coding bit of the project. I can do more levels, and you can help with the sprites and ideas.
Plus if I collect 3 more of the 10 sacred code-stones and level up, I can roll against 5 to try to raise a SC veteran from the dead.

For anyone who wants to make levels, here's the blank level template:
Just fill out the variables, then copy-paste it into a CASE for testing

 Â  LET spawntimer=0    //time between enemy spawning
 Â  LET enemylimit=0    //enemies per level
 Â  LET maxenemy=0   //maximum amount of enemies on-screen
 Â  LET line$(1)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(2)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(3)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(4)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(5)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(6)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(7)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(8)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(9)=  "00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(10)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(11)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(12)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(13)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(14)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(15)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(16)="00000000000000000000000"
 Â  LET line$(17)="00000000000000000000000"

Thanks, and remember to post finished levels here for review, and to be put in the finished game.

Don't have a mac? Don't worry. We'll do the testing for you if you post it here, or we can put it in to a compiled game for you. Just edit it in TextEdit or whatever.

[Zoo]

Hey Connors, there's a few bugs. Can you try to fix them?  It tells you about them the second you run the game, so it shouldn't be hard to find them.

[Connors]

OH got it, I'll do that first chance I get. Where's your latest version of the program because I have one that isn't bugged.

[Zoo]

I'm on 1.8.9 what's the latest? You can download 1.8.9 on the other forums.

[Zoo]

This is really awesome. Why has it stopped? I'll make levels again.

[Zoo]

It's missing menus, cutscenes, and any sort of story, but I agree, the engine is finished. I'll keep making levels, and anyone with any skill at making menus can make one. I'd like to see this as a finished game.

[Silverwind]

Wowza! Just checked out the game and I'm blown away! I got to level 4 and reckon that's enough for a finished release. Love to see it with a title screen and some background music, but it's a smashing top quality release as it is. Excellent job!

this came a long way from a gauntlet clone, i remember when the guy would shoot bullets, then someone said make it a laser and it made the game so much better

[Silverwind]

Couldn't resist making a Doom-esque soundtrack for it:

[Connors]

Cool soundtrack, although it's pretty much a remix of the exact same music from Doom.

And can I request you guys post the link to the newest build again? Don't remember where it was.

[EqwanoX]

im pretty sure we left off at v1.8.9. its still on my cloud account
