I made two games based on Futurama.
My first game ever made is a Futurama spaceship game.

Second game I made is Futurama based on the Mario Bros.

I just mostly wanted other gamers opinions of my game so i can get an idea of what to improve.

---

They look extremely good for your first games. I've not got time to download them though. Much better than my first games anyway.

---

Not bad. I like the dinky Fry sprite. Obviously its only basic at the moment, but perhaps some instructions. The very bottom of the screen is missing a platform. The alien guys are pretty good in that if you get in their way, they will start firing at you, but in other respects they do tend to sort of drift about, so perhaps little more intelligence when they move about. Sorry I can't come with anything more constructive, but its way better than my first game.

---

Thanks for the comments. I might try to fix those when i get the time.

I really want to fix this but im clueless of what to do.
+ Code Snippet

if rightkey() = 1

play sprite 1,1,2,75
   inc m#,5.5
endif


if leftkey() = 1
play sprite 1,3,5,75
   dec m#,5.5
endif
endif

If you tap the right key and then you tap the left key he doesn't look back he walks backwards a little then after like 3 taps on the left key he looks the other direction. Is there a way i could make him look the other direction right when you click the leftkey or is there another method of playing the animation?

---

I don't have DB Pro, but if it was a DB Classic game you would just change the sprite images yourself, and you wouldn't have that problem.

---

Just wondering what game did you guys like better? I kind of like my spaceship game more.

---

lol, reminds me of the first Futurama episode where hes playing that
arcade game

maybe you could change the bullets or whatever to not be rectangles, just make them more rounded on the ends

---

You got a mention in the newsletter.

---

Yeah pretty cool that I got mentioned in the newsletter. I got the moving to work better but i didnt upload it yet. I guess i do kind of make my bullets square. Im making another game ill show a picture or have a little demo for you guys to see soon.

---

Hmmm what if life was a video game, you seriously need Pacman, Mrs Pacman and a part to play space invaders like in the episode with the what if machine.

Nice looking game though, keep it up,

---

I will most likely do a pacman game next. Thanks for the feedback.

I am working on a new game and I need some opinions of the game.



You can download it at

Some questions I have.
Is the jumping good?
Does the level need to be longer?
More enemies in the level?

I still need to fix some things but I need some feedback first.

---

Im not sure how fast your computer is running at but on mine (AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 3200+, 2.19 GHz 1.00 GB of RAM) the game ran extremely fast. I could get to the other end of the map in a matter of seconds, if that.

---

I was trying out a different sync method and I was wondering if it would run different on other computers. I will try to get it fix asap.

Thanks for telling me.

[EDIT]
Fixed the error. I just forgot to add sync rate.

---

I have finally made a game where you play as Bender.

Have fun

---

A) What do you do?
B) Why did it try to connect to the internet?

---

For the bender game you are suppose to dodge the two items as you fall and it gets harder and harder to beat.



I have no idea why it tried to connect to the internet. Never tried connecting on any of my computers and my friends but when i was on my aunts computer it tried to connect so i am thinking it might be because of xppro.

---

I have xp home though. Now it says my comp is too slow.

Windows XP home
1 gig ram
AMD athlon 64 3500 + (2.19 ghz)
Nvidia GeForce 6200 SE (256 mb)

Errr. Not sure why it says that, but oh well.

And it still tries to connect to the internet.

---

Well heres the source code. You will see that nothing tries to connect to the interenet.
