My first problem was with Athoria. Sc was not fast enough and couldn't detect collisions before hitting objects, so I moved on.
do you still have this? can you post it, ide like to take a look, but was it with 2.0?

I liked EQ's version more, but just becouse of the moving targets.

Same, though Eq didn't have rotation I like his for the easy controls, moving targets, and nice character sprite.

Not bad, but better wouldn't be the word I'd choose:
http://screencast.com/t/YTdhYjJhYW

A few down sides to your replicated version are:
- Much more complex code, NTHFIELD means much more work went into making it.
- 51% CPU usage compared to my 9%.
- 38mb of ram used compared to my 16mb.
- Yours doesn't support infinite bullets like mine.
- Yours isn't quite so much of a game. Where's the pop count? Or challenge, shooting until all balloons are gone just isn't as entertaining.

I wouldn't call your quite a replica. Seems to be missing key features.

Challenge 1 ~ 2.0

P.S. My best pop count was 560. Can any of you guys beat that?

i said ide do what you did with less code, in less time, and better, in an "inferior" program

Regular languages are complicated but are powerful and efficient.

Scripting languages are easy to use but are simple and slow.

The solution? Most commercial games are written in a combination of a programming language and a scripting language. The base engine and other speed-critical stuff is written in C++ or whatever, and then game events are scripted.

No bugs in the one I downloaded either.

And Gan, 562 is the new record!  :P  Nice 2.0.

And Eq, nice new weapons, timers, and high score list!

How fast is the timer on yours Eq? It ticks 3 times a second for me.

Hey guys. I'm going to be taking my challenge game a step further and make it into an iPhone and iPad app.
I never realized it's potential but I could sell this app for free and make monies off of ads. The game is nearly all done, just need to add some cool looking menus, beef up the graphics a bit, add a global and private high scores list, add ads, and maybe a few more weapons and/or targets.
I'll take out the music and maybe turn the flashing off. Make shooting slower, less and smaller balloons.
I think I'll either name it Balloon Pop or Shooting Man. The storyline would ride some where along the lines off:
"This is our training facility - Balloon Pop. You're goal young sniper is to become the best...."
