It's a simple 3D game... my first game in DBPro. Please give it a try, it's actually pretty fun.

The file is on Geocities, so if you can't download the file it's because many people have donwloaded it (which makes me happy). however if you actually CAN download the file it means nobody is downloading it

anyways, lemme know what you think good or bad.

you can see some screenshots on this link as well before you download. thx- walaber

Wow! That is actually very adictive for a simple idea. This has so much potential to be made into a great game with more depth. Add powerups, lives etc. I have one problem with the mouse movement. It's kind of jerky, I suspect this is because you are using something like:

xPos=xPos+mousemovex()/4

or something. If you are then that can be fixed by adding a .0 on the end of the 4, it just means it will come up with a decimal answer like 0.25, rather than rounding it to the nearest integer (0).

Great game, keep up the good work.

EDIT
Btw, my top score: 9800 and something .

Do you bite your thumb at me sir?

I like it! Very playable and addictive.

One MAJOR flaw - you need to make it run at same speed in different resolutions and pc's. Goes from very fast to stupidly slow.

I cranked up the res in your options screen and could easily play without dying because everything moved at a nice sedate speed. I got to see all your nice fancy shapes as game progresses. BUT then it crashed with an error about line 378. Image or object doesnt exist or something similar.

I would also suggest not having barriers right in front of you when you start a game as I got annoyed when I died within 1 second of starting! Give a breathing space of a few seconds to give the player time to think.

Also put a 'back' option on options screen as only way back to main menu is to change resolution.

Well done!

Boo!

You can press enter to go back, but I agree, put a back thing or a "Press enter to go back". Also, you should have levels in a later version.

OK I uploaded a slighty altered version that fixes the first few walls so they don't come flying right at you.

I also slightly adjusted the mouse-movement code.. it's jumpy like that to keep it fair no matter what input device you are using (although the mouse is by far the easiest)

thanks for the comments!

spooky: if you just don't change the resolution and press enter at anytime in the options screen you go back to the main menu.

(edit) as for the speed issues... the game runs at the max 60fps on my machine regrdless of resolution... but your right, if you have a slower machine and you run at the high resolutions, the game will probably crawl along.... i should implement a smarter sync system... right now I'm all busy with my Alienware comp entry

OK sorry for the constant annoying updates...

I've changed the game so it runs at an internal speed of 30FPS (using a timer() system)... so now if your system can handle at least 30fps, the game should run at the same speed regardless of resolution.... a really slow computer will still have trouble... but hey

thanks for all who have already tried the game!

the newest version is still the same link as above.

I think your game is pretty fun and addicting. The concept is simple, but it's presented very well: very clean graphics, and that song goes well with the game.

My only suggestion is that you base the game menu on the system timer. That is, when you press a key in the menu, it jumps too quickly through the possible menu items. Perhaps use TIMER() comparisons to force a delay between menu items.

Otherwise, good job!

Here's an error I got somewhere between 8000 and 10000 points (I forget what I had because it crashed):

Runtime Error 7008 - Object does not exist at line 380

the error was based on the score... if you got over 1000, the game freaked out. a classic example of too much cut-and-pasting in my code. it's all fixed now... to be honest I'm really impressed you were able to get a score like that though! I usually die around 8000...

thanks for playing my game... feel free to download the updated version (same link as always)

lupin- holy cow I didn't think anyone would really play that much. thanks for playing my game- you're much better at it than I am. just curious, what control setting do you use? I personally think mouse control is the easiest, followed by joystick....

heheh, It’s quite fun while at work. I use the keyboard control, the mouse is a bit jerky and slow. I feel like I have more control over the ship using the keyboard.
I actually made it to 26871 couple of weeks ago, I could send you a screenshot if you'd like.
Sadly I can't make it pass that. GG thoe
