how about a game over sequence?

just any kind of scene you want when you lose

btw the color of blue-green in the main menu image is rgb(0,118,163) if you want to use that (just a thought)

Thats only internet speak V. 1.0 to 1.5. Now that 2.0 launched, it allows for different capitalization of "lol" to mean different things. For instance:

LOL means "I am really laughing out loud!" Or "That was really funny"
Lol means "I chuckled when I read that" or "That was so witty"
lol means "Heh. I smiled but in real life it probably wouldn't get an audible laugh" or "Meh, kinda funny"

Please update your user's manuals

@SmartGuy
The collision method is interesting but it's rather slow. Very draining with the tasks that it performs to get that result. There is a simpler much quicker method, only question is do you want to explore it?

I'll just throw out some examples and you can see if it's worth the time and hassel.

I'm horrible explaining anything with words so I'll just do it with codes. So far, this is what I know about collisions.

We can skip the whole getslot() function by using this:

ok watevr, as long as it works I honestly dont care

why r u even messing with the program anyway?

it works now and we only need it to create the game levels, not like its going to be used in the final game

and about the flame powerup, I need 2 images, the thing falling from the brick and the improved ball, and then maybe some flames for the trail

I was trying to get it to load up the level.txt and edit it, I just notice getslot could be simplified.

I made chages to the Brick images, just looks cooler now and was trying to make it work.

Made a new title image, I'll post it up soon.

I can do flame trail and improved but I'm still ??? about things falling from bricks.



[edit]

What does the glass brick do?

I didn't even know the game did that. It makes sense now but I dont know how do you want it to look like? Should it have some text in it, round or squared, color?

Hey everyone. I would like to join the next project that DarkNOOBS does whether it is a new game idea or if you guys decide to bring back the adventure game thread. I was also wondering if there are any good programs for making bitmap characters. I have been using paint but I was wondering what programs are better. Thanks in advance.

well as far as the 2d program goes, www.getpaint.net (I think thats the site anyway) has a GREAT FREE image editor with a similar format to paint

it has al the features of paint, as well as many from more expensive programs like photoshop

also if you want to join DarkNOOBS then write a program showing your skill level. the usual program is a drawing program, as complex or simple as you like

once you get it finished the just post it into the noobs wanted thread

edit:

@ashingda

just got around to looking at your improvements, and I like it!

however i dont really think we need the 4-9 hit bricks, how may breakout games have you seen that have bricks taking more than 3 hits?

did you make any changes to how the levels.txt file was saved? thats the main thing I need to know about your edit

also, (if you are willing to reclaim your media guy title) then we stil need that flame powerup, as well as a flaming ball

We would love to have you, as smartguy said, just whip something up so we can get a feel for where you are. Post it on Noobs Wanted (that way we don't have to keep bumping it ).

Read the first post of Noobs Wanted.
Your game would be quite hard to judge as Smartguy would have to work out what everything is supposed to do. With the paint challenge he already knows what he's looking for.

PS Smartguy is the Project Manager on this game

@Smartguy
Quote: "4-9 hit bricks"

Well the brick images are made so I put it in just in case we may decide to use it. But the truth is I just havn't play too many brick break games and just didn't really know.


Quote: "did you make any changes to how the levels.txt file was saved?"

Nope. But there are two files that holds the levels data now, "levels.txt" and "lvl.txt". The second one "lvl.txt" is only for the editor and it's purpose is just easier loading for the editor as they are both saved differently.


I dont have the flame images on me right now forgot my flask drive, but I'll post it up later.

Hey saw this post was about to head to the second page. I posted to keep it on first. I also saw the it seems that no one has posted in a while and just wanted to say not to give up on it. You've made it pretty far already, why stop working on it now.

Sorry smart guy, but you gotta accept the fact that this is on its last leg and I don't even think we have any noobs left. It needs to be finished and then we need to move on.

the whole "educating noobs" idea has kinda been lost on this one, its become more of a personal project that i want to see finished

I think we'll just get this one wrapped up, then start a new DarkNOOBS project and ill make continuing this one a solo task

so its:
