Ballin': Turn Based Basketball


.love (requires LÖVE)
OSX
Windows

Ballin' is a game of turn based basketball, players take turns drawing freeform paths which are then followed simultaneously. The accuracy of shooting is based on distance to the hoop and opponent. THe strategy is to shake the defense and drive to the hoop.

Hot seat and networked multiplayer is supported.

*oops old link had a bad version
you'll need love, it's written for 0.7, don't know if it will work on earlier versions.

draw by holding the mouse

So right now it needs:
-Real graphics/sound
-Proper collision detection so that it's possible to score
-A better UI, with a score board
-Networking, bugger if I know how to do that though

I am reminded of Charles Barkley: Shut Up and Jam! even though the game mechanics and theme are undoubtedly different.

right now it doesn't really have a theme beyond basketball, I'm basically terrible at graphics&music so unless so kind soul would like to contribute some its going to continue with it's current theme of "bland".

Ballin' V0.1
Linux uses will need their own copy of LÖVE.

This is a game play complete beta. Networking isn't/may never be implemented but the game otherwise does everything I was planning on.

Ballin' V0.2 Now with networked multiplayer.

The big feature is multiplayer, thanks to FinalSin whose code I raided to figure out how to use LUBE. This version also contains some transitional animations and some tweaks to the ball behavior.

Played the windows hotseat version.
The concept seems interesting, but we didn't really understand how to play.
It took us several minutes just to understand that you have to hold and grab the mouse from your player to draw the path, but one player was able to draw a much longer path then the other, we moved to the ball and nothing happened, in short, very confusing...
