 :D

This is disgusting. And one of the better Snake games I've ever played! It's even... clever.

Though, question: What happens when I "EDGETEND"? I was expecting something along the lines of an "UCHUFORCE", but nothing happened at all.  Ah wells. This is turning out to be a great unofficial competition.

uhhh haha nothing happens yet   but things WILL happen later this week i promise

[aeiowu]

haha awesome 

i was thinking ramp it up with a ridiculous amount of combo names. like get three TMs in a row and you enter Trademark Trance.

ptoing's new avatar is awesome.

[Derek]

Haha, I love the corn in the poop!  It's really fun, too.

[AdamAtomic]

[Melly]

Quite an excellent little game. I also like the link you added to the real deal.

[rv_el]

Theres Peanuts in the poop!!!!

I have fallen in love with the music. Is there a standalone version somewhere?

[Martin 2BAM]

Is the source code available? Because I wanted to use flixel for a tiled no-gravity game bomberman-ish and using the source as an example would be awesome.

Thanks!

[AdamAtomic]

Currently it isn't, I might release it, can't think of a good reason not to except I might be obliged to actually comment it or clean up the code   But no gravity + tiled movement is pretty simple - just don't set the Y acceleration and then a little bit of key queuing to keep your hero on tile boundaries

[Martin 2BAM]

I'll look into it, Thanks for the tip

[Dacke]

Key queuing?

Don't feel any pressure about commenting or cleaning up. Just having different sources for different kinds of games can be a great help. The human eye is magic when it comes to seeing patterns. When comparing Mode and Edgecrement we will see differences and similarities and be able to better understand what is needed in a Flixel game.

Seeing a messy game is also quite relaxing, as you don't have to feel too bad about your own code

[AdamAtomic]

yea that is true!  on the flipside giving the code away means i have to give the art and music (well, art at least) away too, I'll have to check with the other poopdudes to see what they think!

[Dacke]

If it makes you feel any better I can pirate the graphics before you give us the code. I'll just use my Print Screen Key
(Hm.. or will they be connected to the MIT license if you hand them out?)

I'm a bit curious about what "key queuing" means. But I just started looking at Flixel seriously yesterday, so perhaps I should just read up on it.

[AdamAtomic]

it's not really a flixel feature, it was just how i tackled the edgecrement controls in particular.  it went something like this:

Code:

bool up, down, left, right;
if(FlxG.kUp) up = true;
if(FlxG.kDown) down = true;
//etc etc
if(onNextTile())
{
  if(up) velocity.y = 100;
  if(down) velocity.y = -100;
  //etc etc
}

Basically just keep track of what button the player pressed last, and when you get to the next tile, take off in that direction.  onNextTile() isn't a real flixel function either, it just represents whatever modulo or whatever you might do to figure out if you're on a tile or not.

[Martin 2BAM]

I don't mean to push you, but just the source (AS3) without comments nor media contents works for me. Anyway, I can wait

A little off-topic but... It would be cool if flixel stopped eating the CPU while paused. If I want to swap to a chat window, for example, and the game is auto-paused... it still eats the whole CPU (I have a single core, so that means everything is sluggish)
Happened to me with Fathom.

I have no problem with giving the art in this game away I guess. Make it unde some GNU something yadda yadda. Non commercial use and all that. 

[Martin 2BAM]

I got it working nevertheless. Flixel is really cool and straightforward
