12 player snake

[Djidjo]

Hi slinga,

Guess what ? 2 days ago, vreuzon, a friend and I played 12-player snake for more than 5 minutes. There's a small problem : from time to time, there's nothing to eat for a long time. Is it on purpose ?

No, I noticed the bug as well. What version are you using? It happens when the food is displayed in a position where it is over-written by a moving snake. So the food IS there, only you can't see it 😉.

I thought I fixed it in the newest version, if not it should be a one line fix (keep printing the food during the while loop, stupid buy hey it'll work).

I had a version 2.03 lying around on my hard disk, I gave it a whirl and I didn't see the bug pop-up. Give it a go.

The SSMTF web pagehas been updated with snake 2.03.

(what about your new game, slinga ?)

My 12 player balloon fight clone is coming along slowly. I have a temporary title screen done (the balloon is animated!!). I also have very minimal controller input working.

I still have to work out the physics, collision detection, sound, pretty much everything actually.

I expect to be done around May or June with something playable.

 

[vreuzon]

is "balloon fight" the original game name ?

Yep, it's an old nes game. It's a rip off of joust.

Here's a screen shot:

It's beginning to look a little bit like balloon fight. I have the stars in the background working, the bonus round balloons fly upwards and animate properly, the players move around somewhat. I don't have any collision detection done yet and the control will need a whole lot of work, but the game is beginning to take shape. Of course NONE of this actually works on a real saturn...
