New version of Grand Theft Shmup! v0.03!

New version of Grand Theft Shmup! YAY! As this is a rapid prototype, new versions should be veru rapidly released.

Changes to v0.02a are:
You now have a life bar. The dot can take 3 hits before being destroyed.
After taking a hit as the dot, you are invunerible to damage for a few seconds, and all onscreen bullets are destroyed.
When you jump out of a ship with Control, all on-screen bullets are destroyed.
When hijacking a ship, all bullets are destroyed.
Mid boss added. Note that he hates people getting close to him. He appears after 45 seconds.
Number keys 1 to 4 place the player inside a ship. These are debug options I've left in for fun.

The controls are:
Arrow Keys - Move
Shift - Dash (while in dot mode) or Shoot (while in Ship mode)
Control - Jump out of ship.

LINK IS HERE

I think this is starting to come together. Once the prototype yields a solid, playable mini-game (I'm shooting for one level) I can start production proper. I guess I'll need some decent graphics at that point.

Also, I personally really like the idea of allowing players to steal mid-bosses. But I'm worried that players will just mindlessly dash towards the mid-boss, so I made it so that the mid-boss has a special attack he uses when the player get's close to him. I think it may be a bit overboard however right now. Any thoughts on this?

Also, does dashing while in dot form make sense? Is it useful?

Poop Game

Game File: 

I just re-discovered this game on my hard drive. I made it back when I was first learning how to program.

Here's some text that was written as a comment in the code:

"This program entails a complex simulation of world society as it will exist during and after an event known as the Great Fecal Disturbance, projected to take place in the late 21st century in accordance with statistical modeling using data gathered from public records dating as far back as 1837. It is not meant as an absolute prediction but only as a representation of one possible outcome should our current, flawed, fecal distribution practices remain unchanged."

Yeah.. I don't know either.

Portrait of a hustling bustling city, from the eyes of a pigeon. Musical pilotwings. Avian jet set radio. Hold space to fly, release to coast & land. Mostly it was an excuse to use the new terrain generator I downloaded, and also to test out this bird controller, which I think came out pretty well. I especially wanted to test out techniques for landing on stuff, so be sure to try that out. To land on stuff, point at a surface and let go of space. You should automatically find a good spot and move there. If you try to move on something that's moving, though, it gets weird.

This is the song & title, if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8

Chess Variant 1: Janey Vs Deep Blue

Screen Shot 2016-01-25 at 11.45.45 PM.png

You are Janey and you're humanity's best hope for defeating the world's smartest chess computer and winning the glory for all humankind. Attack Deep Blue. Avoid its knight or else.
Humanity's counting on you.

I'm starting this event a month late. Maybe I will make 64 chess variants, one for each square on the chess board. Maybe I won't.

===PLAY THE REMAKE HERE===

==original description follows==

This is my first game!

THE STORY:
The nefarious DR. MOUTH has stolen the precious GEMS from the royal APPLE FAMILY while they were visting a soccer game in BRITON. Luckily, world famous soccer star RONALD CATJUMPER was playing at the game and witnessed the event. He was able to trap DR. MOUTH in the middle of the soccer field, but not before DR. MOUTH used his GRAVITY WORLD FLIPPER powered by the GEMS he stole to turn the entire place 90 degrees! It's up to RONALD CATJUMPER to use his powers to get back as many GEMS as possible. He only has 60 seconds to do so though, as right before the events listed here he put some POPCORN in the break room microwave, and somebody would be likely to nab it if he left it sitting there!

THE GAMEPLAY:
RONALD CATJUMPER has many amazing abilities, but unfortunately almost all of them are only useful in a game of soccer. However, there are three skills that will help him in his adventures today:

1) RONALD CATJUMPER is a master of movement! (used by pressing the ARROW KEYS) Even though the field is flipped, RONALD will use the walls of the stadium to keep from flying into the atmosphere
2) When RONALD jumps he turns into a CAT, giving him great leaping power (used by pressing SHIFT)
3) RONALD (PhD) is also a fantastic scientist, and brought a CLONING DEVICE he invented to the field, disguised as an ordinary trash can (used automatically)

When the game starts, 60 seconds will be on the timer, and 1 RONALD CATJUMPER, DR. MOUTH and GEM will be present on the field! DR. MOUTH has very slippery fingers, and tends to drop the GEMS very easily, most often when RONALD or a clone of him touches a GEM. If two GEMS touch each other, they will vanish back to safety in the hands of the ROYAL APPLE FAMILY. If no GEMS are present on the screen DR. MOUTH will be likely to drop another onto the field, but not before RONALD CATJUMPER can use the moment to create a CLONE of himself!

Good luck, players!

THE SCORING:
0-1: You are awful. You should be ashamed of yourself.
2-10: The ROYAL APPLE FAMILY will never see their money again. You jerk.
11-40: Pretty good, but DR. MOUTH has made off with most of the GEMS!
41-70: Great work!
71-100: You're awesome!
100+: You got more GEMS than there were in the first place! How the heck did you do that?
