hoover boover , w.i.p , demo released

[micky4fun]

Hi all

ok , been tickering around with Kevins challenge 16 , snake clever programming

so i decided not to enter that as its not all my code so would be unfair to others , also wanted to make a full 2 player game ,
well been at it most this afternoon , only to waste 3 hours with 1 line in wrong place that kept mucking it all up
graphics not great , but give idea of game

plot , oh yes silly plot again , use your hoover to collect scraps on floor to boost score , but this also extends you hoover pipe , so dont get all tangled up and dont bump into other players hoover
also this is a rechargeable hoover , so to keep it going you have to move hoover , not brush but hoover over batteries to keep it charged .
well thats the idea , ile post demo a.s.a.p , but may have to leave this project and go back to dont chicken out to re-do graphics that BlinkOk is doing very kindly for me
ok back soonish

thanks
mick :)

Haha, this looks cool. :P

I wonder... If you're going to make this game, do you think you could connect to other players online and play with them?

Hi Makeii Runoru ,

do you think you could connect to other players online and play with them?

well i know that i could not even begin to know how to code that part of the game , but if i do get it up and running and if it warrants a online play option maybe someone could add it ..
im hoping to add Furniture etc , power ups and downs etc ,  anyway lets see how it goes

thanks for comments , much appreciate

hey mick,

where you got all your grafics... ?

Hi Big C.

well i cheat , dont look bad , but as you can see not much to images , but seems to work ok
ile post source with game , i have disabled some of the collision dectection i have done , but some not done yet and depending on game direction i may not be how to do some as its hard for me as it has all angles and stuff like that , also had to use a round hoover like a henry in u.k as a long hoover i could not rotate around the same direction of pipe.
also players start in a wierd position as i cant work out how to get them both in a straight line ,
all i have done is tinker around with code on forums , maybe if i get it a bit further if i get stuck someone may want to take over to finish it properly , if its worth finishing
anyway heres a demo , the hoover will extened every time you get the banana and score that player 1 point
player one use arrow keys , player 2 use a s w z keys , i know its the wrong way around but i will change that later

hi Big C.

thanks

im just looking for a slight different approach to an old school game , just looked for something that might expand or unwind , ie hoover with flexible pipe , garden hose being unreeled but that would have had a fix point. so i went with hoover , but the programming is hard for me to do what i want to do , but ile give it a go and see what happens , but clueless with maths and angles and that kinda stuff and program structure .

thanks
mick :)
