I like where this thread is going.

[Miya]

I enjoy this idea. 

[Gainsworthy]

Misc?

• This is my second (almost) finished game. I try to teach myself some stuffs right now, but i'm still on the lowest level though...

 

You mean ZicZac was your first game ever? Wow. Now I feel all... inadequate.

[Dugan]

i tried to dload , and its 0 kb

[Dugan]

hmm - sorry still 0kb. Could you zip it perhaps? (maybe its a firewall thing)

[Gainsworthy]

Ah, a coder, but not a game-maker. Righteo. Makes a little more sense  .

You seem to have a knack for making games- this is similarly brilliant to ZicZac. Particularly difficult and twitchy, but it has a real sense of weight and speed to it - which is, in my opinion, critical in a shooter. So, yeah, feels good, looks awesome and distinct, and has a nice sense of reward in the challenge. Short, but well de-made! Though, you do have some good source material. Nobody Shooter is an nice choice of name, too.

Also, why do you always put down your music? I feel the "generative chippy stuff" works very nicely with the feel of your games.


Oh, and finally, just figured out that your name is Zero-Relative! I always read it as "Oh-Rell." Though, I still will. I'm still trying to figure out the numbers plastered all over your site.

[Dugan]

yeah that worked - ta! fun game, more levels please 

1376 best score so far...

Hey, this is fun. It also works under Win2k, BTW. And I like the sound/music.

One complaint I have is that the things you are supposed to pick up look too similar to the bullets which will hurt you if you don't pay attention, so it's sometimes confusing.

[Blueberry]

Gosh, this is hard.
I finally beat it on my #10+ try. Have struggled so hard it was very comforting to find that it said 'Very Good" in flashing text. All games should do that.

The simulated Gameboy pixels were gorgeous, but I thought playfield was too cluttred and that gameplay suffered from that.

I feel happy after playing your game!

[ExciteMike]

NICE! 
For some reason I kept thinking the points were shots I had to avoid, even though I still play Everyday Shooter.  My only complaint is that it would be even better if my gamepad worked with it.

[Ryan]

Awesome! Very polished and fun. I've never played Everyday Shooter, but this was very cool. The only thing that bugged me is the window wasn't centered on the screen, and alt + enter doesn't make it full screen, just centered with a background. (But that's just preference). Great work!

[medieval]

I want this, but it spits on me with a windows error 

[medieval]

The one where you always click Don't send.

[medieval]

Pretty much, yeah. I'm on 32bit XP Home.

[superflat]

Another Orel game... great news... I loved Zic-Zac too...  I'lll play it as soon as my entry's done!

[medieval]

It doesn't work, but I do have VC++ '08 Express edition if that helps.

[medieval]

My antivirus does no such thing as raping downloaded stand-alone EXEs.

And it still doesn't work. I get a white rectangle (square?) with a black border and the error message.


EDIT

It works now. Very nice!

[muku]

Hm. Don't you use SDL? It has a very simply flag which you can set to enable vsync. In my experience, SDL is a painless way to get a cross-platform OpenGL window going.

[muku]

Another, more lightweight option for cross-platform OpenGL is GLFW. But yeah, I can see how you want to stick to your own code, I know the "not invented here" syndrome all too well

On the other hand, SDL is nice because there's SDL_image and that's just so handy once you start loading sprites and whatever.

For the new version, the changes seem slight, but it's still a lot of fun. BTW, how did you implement the online highscore table? Do you have a server with a PHP script or something which handles that? It seems like such a great feature.
