Gridz (the game) Revamped!
« on: May 12, 2008, 01:51:11 PM »
I've completely rewritten Gridz with a modded V6 in place of the ridiculously time consuming nav system I used last time. It's taking awhile to design levels, but programming them only takes a minute. The game will also include a level editor. I expect to release it tonight, but by the latest tomorrow. :)

This is not a new grid system, instead it is actually a game :P

Ooops, I should've classified that a little better..... there we go, topic title fixed. ;)

Like Mist said, Gridz is a game rather than a nav system. It involves navigating a red ball through a grid of obstacles to reach the "win" space. It's very simple, but the engine is a clever mod of V6.

Would the new Grid be easier to MOD to our needs?
Are you having trouble with V6? If you need a hand with anything or would like a specific aspect of the system explained to you, I'm always here to help. :)

Cool your working on it again. A while back before I could post (which I still can't on the GM forums) I played gridz and developed a working code and made about 7 levels for it.

Here's the complete beta: link removed

There's a glitch that makes the game crash every time an non-function button is pressed, but I'm working on fixing it.

EDIT:

Ooops, I just noticed a mistake in the readme. The last sentence in the second last paragraph should read "When you've finished, open the text file "Startingy" (not "StartingX") and write the number of the Y space you want the player to start on. After that your level should be good to go.

I can't figure out what's going on...I see there's a sprite named player.gif, but when I play the game that sprite doesn't show up.   :P

Curses! I think that pathfinder glitch in compiled games is resurfacing again. I'll have to look into it tomorrow. Thanks for reporting it Charlo.

Ok, here's the updated version:

link removed

The crash glitch is fixed and the sprite should appear this time. It turned out I had compiled it with an old version of GM that couldn't handle sprites above 10. ::) My best time for completing the game is 28 seconds.

Great game!  A simple concept, but I never thought I would see it in GM.  

(my time was 7:36, but I wasn't paying attention)  :D

I saw early versions of this game before. This turned out really nice. I'm going to put it on the GameMaker site.

Thanks! :D Yeah, a few more simple games like this would be cool. I'm gonna try to bring out a few more before I begin work on the next all-time-consumming RPG, hehe. ::)
