Hi

Here is my template : "City Building Simulation" (a very basic example for a game like "Forge of empire" or "Town ship")

I have put in the zip 5 versions (0.1 to 0.5), to show how to add features to a game.
Tell me what do you think about this template, if it's good enough.

PS : For comments, I think they need to be fixed, because english isn't my native langage ^^

My second submission

I was going to write this at the weekend but I've had a quiet couple of days at work, so in between meetings I've broken out AppGameKit and managed to bang out Floppy Birds

Code is attached. There's probably way more comments than actual code.
More of a complete game than a template. It's just lacking sounds.


Edit - Reuploaded to fix a few typos in the comments

Be my guest.
You've got all of the code right there. Feel free to add whatever sounds you like.

I put i together in between meetings at work. I think people would notice if it started to make sounds as well.

Good looking Floppy Bird
The reputation of this game combined with the source code to make it will be attractive to wannabe coders.

Here is my attempt at a template for a bullet hell/top down shooter style game. I'm not sure if there is too much code for a good template, but I've tried to keep the code organised and I've added plenty of comments which will hopefully help explain what''s going on. If you just want to give the game a try, you can play it online here. Or you can download the attachment and have a look at the code (which I guess is the main point!). Any comments/feedback on making the template better/more useful are welcome. Anyhow I hope someone finds it useful .

Hi all,

We now have a Tutorial AppGameKit badge. This is awarded anyone who creates and submits a game tutorial.

I have added the badge to users who have supplied versions of their games so far.

If I missed anyone please let me know.

Here's a small request that will help new users, I hope someone can pick up this challenge;

"Create a small demo tier1 project that shows the correct method for setting up the screen so that it will configure no matter what device it's run on (so it adapts to any screen res)."

I ask because it's a common issue and a small demo would help so many new users.

Mobiius,I don't understand your code is not convenient.
In my example, I adjust the height in relation to specified width, and all images look great and in their places.

p.s. Sorry for my English.

I don't understand.

In my example you don't need to change anything, just cut and paste and your good. I use a percentage system, so X and Y values go from 0.0 to 100.0 on all devices across all screen sizes.

Normaly I also use the percentage system, but I don't set the aspect ratio so I have 100x100 Units in the middle of the screen no matter what orientation.
I then use GetScreenBoundsTop etc. to place sprites in relation to to the top border for example ...again no matter what orientation or resolution.
..like so:


This ofc. results in a different playing area for every device or orientation so I Restrict it to the 100x100 Units in the middle,
everything else is some extra space to place no-game-changing things like the user interface.

That's all well and good, but not one of my projects has used DarawBox, and sprites will auto scale to use their correct aspect ratio when either height or width is set to -1 so a 100x100 sprite can always be 100x100.

Stretching the coordinate system on the X axis so it fits the whole screen, is nice..
The only problem I see, for me, is if you want something orbiting around something you wouldn't get a circle but an oval, for example.

You would if you take that into account with your trig. for example, multiply your x value by Y * aspectRatio.

Of course you could overcome that problem.
It's just... I wouldn't like to take the streching into account for every position I do in runtime
I think we are even, we both like using the percentage system and the rest is habitation

Hey Rick, from how it looks right now, my project (The angry birds template) could be in danger not getting done till the deadline. So if anyone wants to take it, I would be happy for it.

MikeHart,

My latest WIP is pretty similar to Angry Birds. I could just rewrite it a bit and use that for a template if you don't think you'll be able to do it in time. Although I'm in the process of moving houses at the moment so I might take a while to get it done too

Yes easter bunny, it would be great as it would take some load off my end here.

Hi,

Someone asked me about an isometric demo. Could anyone knock up a very basic project showing how to store data and the display ordering of tiles to make such a game work in AppGameKit?

A few hours tinkering this evening and I have a playable Smash-Hit style game made. I need to have a tidy up of the code, and do a tiny bit of 3d object culling optimisation, then I'll post it up. In the meantime, here's a teaser:

@CJB - Looks really slick from the picture

@Rick - Is there any way of putting links to all the templates in the original post to make it easier to get at them or do you have other plans?

I have been tied up mostly with job hunting and getting myself straight with work

I shall post Frogga very soon

Another weekend has passed and I haven't had time to tidy this again... SO, here is the messy version of SMASH-IT!

No media in this version, so you can just copy and paste into a new project. I'll try to make it pretty during the week. Probably requires a bunch of tweaks too... this was my first attempt at a 3D game!
