Title: Supa Pong
Post by: Silverwind on August 19, 2008, 05:07:01 AM
Here's my GMG contest entry: http://www.mediafire.com/?4grqkj7xt8f

Well, at long last it's finished. Overall I'm quite pleased with the music, (which consumed most of my time) though there's one or two tracks that I'd like to improve in 1.0.1. There's a total of 8 catchy tracks, which is a great accomplishment for me. :D Please check out the readme for controls.

As always, enjoy!

OH NO! There's some kind of horrible glitch that's never occurred before, even though I've been testing the compiled app all morning! The sprites are somehow pasting themselves flat on the canvas everytime they move! And the ball sprite doesn't load at all!

I can't understand why this is happening, or why it only started after I uploaded it on the internet, but I'll get right on fixing it. :-/

EDIT:

Solved it! Either Stuffit or Mediafire mustn't have liked the Ball.gif file, because it didn't include it in the package. I'm still not sure why not having the ball sprite would cause such eradicate behavior in GM, but I've just tested it now and it does. I'll reupload it and make sure the .gif file is included this time...

This sounds amazing. :)

Though, I'm on a pc. Won't be able to test it out till 7-8 hours from now.

Ok, sorry for triple posting, but here's the deal. Stuffit is corrupting the Ball 1.gif file every time I compress it. That is so annoying! >:( I'll try messing with the settings and hope that fixes it. Sorry about this guys. :(

Post by: Silverwind on August 19, 2008, 09:14:58 AM
Well, an hour and a half spent tinkering with both Photoshop and Stuffit and I finally fixed it. I've updated the link.

Enjoy, and sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: The Alais doesn't work, looking for the game file

EDIT2: I can't beat the first guy :(
He ketches every return :P

How do you do it?

As always the readme includes alias fixing related info. :) It's really annoying that they keep breaking though. :(

To Mist: Press Spacebar I'm not sure what this does but it seems to help
To Silverwind: I think the alias doesn't work because the alias isn't to the one in the folder it probably to the one in your computer.

Yeah, although it sometimes works, but usually not. I had it working earlier today funny enough.

As for spacebar, it affects how many pixels the ball will move up or down the next time you repel it. You need DP (Deflection Points) in order to use it though, and the more you spend the more you'll distort the Y axis of the ball. (your DP is displayed in the title bar of the game window)

You get 4 DP each time you repel the ball, and each level has a different "max DP spend cap". For example, in level 1 you can only spend up to 14 DP worth of deflection at a time, and in level 3 you can spend up to 18. A simple twist to regular Pong to make it more challenging. :)

This game is fun. Are the characters from your previous games? I laughed at the frog. I remember playing the game with that frog. Don't know the other 3 (I only payed stage 1,2,3 and at 4 I wanted to do something else).

The game seems to autosave, really cool.
Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Silverwind on August 19, 2008, 11:23:01 AM
Thanks Teruri, glad you liked it. :) Yeah, stage 4's opponent is none other than the infamous Roguefrog! ;D I've been drawing him and the character from stage 2 for years. They were originally spin offs of Muppet characters, but due to my art style's continuous development their appearances changed drastically over the years to the point now where some of them hardly resemble their original molds. So now they're characters of my own. There's 2 other characters that usually accompany them in my paper RPGs, but I couldn't include them in Supa Pong because they look way too similar to their muppet counterparts.

EDIT:

Funny enough, stage 4 is the only one with a hidden character in the current version. I intended to include more, but my family and friends who agreed to draw them haven't finished yet, so they'll be included in 1.0.1. My sister drew level 4's alternate character.

Oh yeah, you can play against alternate characters by typing "zzz" on the stage select screen in Freeplay. You'll hear a beep to confirm that you entered the code correctly. Once activated, clicking on a stage will bring you its alternate form. :)

You're doing well to have gotten to stage 5. There's 7 stages of difficulty to accommodate for the skills of the whole world, which means you're pretty high up in the rankings. :)

I've just set the world time record for completing arcade mode with a time of 9 and a half minutes. None of my testers completed it all the way through.

Hey, you know the beeping sound the computer makes when you press the keyboard on your game?

Well I found a bug. If you hold down the key board, I had 30 points, for that period of time,it starts beeping like this.

Beep        Beep     Beep   Beep   Beep  Beep  Beep Beep BeepBeepBeepBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Never ending. It freezes the game up and I have to force quit.

Don't do it then. ;)

Hehehe... seriously though, what are you saying, that if you hold down a key for too long it freezes the game?
Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Gan on August 19, 2008, 07:02:39 PM
Yeah, if you hold down space bar for too long, it freezes.

May I ask how you figured this out? Do you hold keys down for every game? ;)

Hmmm... just tested, and this glitch doesn't occur for me.

I'm almost positive it's got something to do with your keyboard or it's settings.
Title: Re: Supa Pong

My keyboard setting are set for fastest repeat and slowest delay until it starts I have not encountered this glitch either.

Post by: EqwanoX on August 20, 2008, 01:12:40 PM
i smoked this game, which shows how good it is cause even though its just pong i played through the whole game, the deflection points and character face expressions are great features thats what kept me playing
Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Silverwind on August 20, 2008, 01:54:04 PM
Thanks Eq. :) How did you find the difficulty?
Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Gan on August 20, 2008, 06:24:28 PM
I tested to see if I could get that bug again, and I did.

I played the first level, got a few points, and pressed the space bar for 10-20 seconds. While holding down the spacebar I moved around the mouse. Once I let the spacebar go, it froze the game having a long "BEEEEEEEEEE...".

Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Tireas Dragon on August 20, 2008, 06:47:42 PM
I held the spacebar down the whole level NO PROBLEMS their must be something wrong with your computer try not holding the spacebar down. Try hitting it fast.

Yeah. I have mac G4 tower Ppc, 10.4.9. 700mb ram. 8 years old, I need a new computer.

Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Tireas Dragon on August 20, 2008, 07:18:53 PM
It should run fine. You don't need a fast or better comp maybe you just not hold down the spacebar. Just press it a few time when you got some points thats what i do.

Title: Re: Supa Pong
Post by: Silverwind on August 21, 2008, 01:47:38 AM
Thanks for reporting it Gan. :) I'll put a note in the readme that it experiences that glitch on older computers.

For those of you who find the game too hard but would like to see the later levels, here's a code that will unlock everything: 20597

Enter that in the Completion Data text file in the Data folder in the Resources folder. :)
