Hello! This is my presentation to purebasic forum.
I've been coding for yabasic so many years and recently discovered purebasic and give it a try... and soon started to code demos and stuff... it's a good step from yabasic.
I will like to share this little demo of a game started to develop at the same time learning languaje so it's simple but works ok. It's called PLATOO! and it's about shooting skeet.
[DOWNLOAD LINK AT THE END OF TOPIC. Since .exe is 22mb and forum's attachments can't exceed 10mb i've uploaded to MEGA]
Unfortunately i've lost latest versions and source code so i decided to share the latest .exe i have from the game, before to start building levels and objectives and even before i got a clear idea of what to do with this game.
It basically consist in the main loop where you can shoot skeets until out of ammo in a few random escenaries.
No objetives nor game progression sadly, but you can beat the hi score for each escenary and records will be saved to file.
Controls are mouse/keyboard or gamepad. If default gamepad controls don't satisfy you can edit the joystick pressing [J] in game. (Changes will be saved to file and loaded automatically next time if gamepad plugged)
Let's go for the important INFO:
OPTIONS:
* Languajes: You can choose SPANISH/ENGLISH at the very first screen of the game. Result will be saved to file.
* Controls: You can use mouse/keyboard or a gamepad. If you want to use gamepad plugg it before game or
change escenary to autodetect. Move analog sticks to all directions before play to detect the sticks's limits.
Personalice joystick pressing [J]. Changes will be saved to file.
CONTROLS:
* IN GAME:
-MOUSE LEFT=SHOT
-MOUSE RIGHT=RELOAD
-[INTRO]=PAUSE
-[ESC]=EXIT GAME/REPLAY
-[C]=Continue (to next random escenary)
-[W]=Watch instant replay (after play)
-[R]=Repeat current escenary
-[1],[2]=Select spanish/english in real time
You can delete a record after beated it [H], also you can delete the records.dat file and all records will be
cleared
OS:
* Windows 32 bit (it may work on 64 bit or maybe not i dunno)
PERFORMANCE:
* Game intended to run at 60 FPS. You can chek FPS by pressing [RIGHT CAPS]+[F]
* Resolution: It works in 600*400. If your screen doesn't support will auto switch to standard 640*480
FEATURES:
* Give it a try!! I think it's nice game, simple and effective.
* Included some awesome .wav tunes from movies and shows probably well knowed.
* Any changes on config, controls or records will be saved to same folder attached to .exe so i suggest to keep
PLATOO.exe in a folder.
PROBLEMS RESOLUTION:
* WARNING! Suspend pc or exit fullscreen mode may cause game crash or stucked. If you can't return to
fullscreen mode you probably need to terminate .exe [CTRL]+[CAPS]+[ESC] I've tryed to follow instructions of
purebasic about this but at the moment i don't know how to do it.
THAT'S ALL FOLKS! Hope enjoy this little game... and comments are welcome!
