What game would you like to make according to my skill level

[tienkhoanguyen]

"Jesus Christ!hehe" - my quote haha

Well, I figure the people on Windows might like to see a little something...
.........

So here are pre-packed Windows version using DOSBox 0.74:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ac58a ... neDemo.exe

http://www.mediafire.com/download/7xcxo ... ideRPG.exe

Both game super little DEMO uses keyboard and SONY PSone controller.

Remember The SONY PSone controller has a USB adapter.

Thank you Jesus Christ.

For those who prefers DOSBox version, there is not much new here.

This is my remake to @pseudocoder.

That's pretty good - I like the cross hair and line plotting; the frogger demo was well done too. Keep up the good work.

I do have a question though; why so much inline assembler in C code? You might try writing a static lib for the common functions such as the game pad routines, maybe put, peek pixel, etc. That way, you wouldn't be redoing the same code with every new variation or demo.

Wow, I'm way behind. I'll try to catch up this week, looking forward to seeing the latest!

I stumbled across the C64 game Diagon featured on Moby, and the youtube gameplay video seemed both fun and completely something in your skillset, tien. Thought I'd mention it to see if it sparks any interest for you. Spaceships, blocking areas, shoot the moving aliens, polished in a little screen-clearing game.

@pseudocoder:

I only problem is pointers so it is hard to explain but...
.....that is why too many inlines.

@Quadko:

Looks like fun to play but im still in moving

Yeah; games are a headache - I tip my hat to all those who develop the games. For grins, I took a partial stab at a text based pacman clone (no skill set at all in graphics or assembly).

Hopefully the code won't be cropped or maybe that would be for the best. Anyway - this junk needs worker threads, but TC wants no part of that.

Code: Select all

/*
    "pacman".c

    requires c style comments for TC 2.xx // is C++
    compiler: bcc 5.5 (free command tools version)

    text based pacman clone attempt; probable
    bugs, but it's a start.

    ghosts not yet implemented

Jesus Christ!hehe

Okay, Heaven. Here I go, hehe. This is my remake of "Ball and Paddle" game. It is extremely slow for the little kids. You can use either the keyboards or the gamepads.

The keyboard controls are:

A-left
D-right

J-left (other player)
L-right

It is better to buy one of each of the following controllers:

Microsoft XBOX360 controller with USB connector
SONY PlayStation controller with USB connector adapter

Please talk with Quadko on this website if you need info on the controllers.

So this is my game for The New Year 2015

As the pirates say, "Enjoy!" hehe

Well, I'll be. Here is a Windows version of the same game hehe. For those of you who think the DOS version is just too slow...

Jesus Christ!hehe

I think this ball and paddle game is called pingpong? I am not too sure about the English language since I am Vietnamese. However, in this second edition of this remake, I made it so that you scored a point as a team every time the paddle reflects the ball. It just so happens that it is something young kids could play. I remember starting games at least around 9 years old.
