Bay 12 Games Forum

A long while ago I made a certain flash game.
It wasn't really a fun or even finished game.
It had difficult controls and no clear goal.
But it was my game and mine alone

A few months ago I went back to my abandoned project and started turning the engine I used for it into something better. Something more object orientated.
I'm nearly finished with it and will work on the actual game once it's done.

Components:
Image data manipulation. (Creating them in a factory class, generating them from tile sheets, rotating them beforehand)
Main object class template to base of objects in game.
Canvas class that holds what should be drawn and processed.
Canvasdrawer that draws the imagedata associated with the objects onto the screen.
Canvasphysix that does the physix and collision detection for each object in the canvas.
Stabletimer that regulates how often Canvasdrawer and canvasphysix are called.
Merged both keyboard and mouse support into one main inputController class.
Sound support. (Can wait till it's needed in the game)
Text. (Not important yet)

Green = done
Orange = working on it
Red = when it's needed

Once the engine is sufficient for my current needs I'll remake my old game but with a lot of changes.
For one the unlimited playing field will be gone. Instead I'll make a persistent playing field of a certain size that will stick with you during the game and random fields you can visit during the game.
I'll also change the keyboard controls to a more relaxed mouse supported control and keep the keyboard controls for when you're out of your ship.

Eventually I'll need the help of other people. Since I'm horrible at anything that requires artistic ability. Mainly sprites.

I'll welcome any comments and criticism.

I win brawls easily as a Khajit.

Did you forget khezit racial ability?

I knew notch personally from his wurmonline days.
Was hooked on his "Breaking the tower" for a while and looked around for what else he was doing.

I also made the first known temple to Notch during the first multiplayer test

I've only got one thing to say about this game.

Creeper army!

Here's a tip when you're stalked by 3 hired thugs after you've mugged people.

Run a bit away from them. Equip bow. Shoot 1. Run away from the other two and the 1 will follow. Paste him into paste.
Rinse repeat 1 more time

Though if you're a high enough level you can probably take them on 3 at a time.

I couldn't though since I was using a dagger as my main weapon. I switched to a sword after that
