Intergalactic Pest Control
February 17, 2010
So here’s another update (I know I’m on fire!). It’s the game I submitted for my Windows Games Programming module at Uni. Its made by me from scratch with the source files supplied by Uni and edited by me. The code was written by me from scratch though.
The game was to be designed to a specific design document that I couldn’t deviate from for level 1. I got full marks for my implementation of level 1. The second level I was allowed to play around with the code a bit to gain extra marks. All I did with this was to add a new type of enemy that evades the spray canister the player uses.
The only way to kill the midges in the game is when they turn red at random intervals, but they’re only red for 3 seconds before they turn an invincible blue and fly off the screen, you lose the game if more than 3 midges turn invincible and escape.
The sound on the video below is a little out of sync with the video, I guess this is because I used Windows Movie Maker to squish the size of the file and encode it for youtube, but it displays the game pretty well. I’m not going to upload the executable for this game because it’s not quite how I like it. I am, however planning on porting the game (at least the first level) in flash with my newly squired skills! So look out for updates on that.
Here’s the video:
