Let's Roll! [FINAL VERSION]
« on: March 02, 2008, 04:16:01 PM »
Nickname: Da_MerV
Project name: Let's Roll
From: US
Division: PSP Game
Original enter: YES
Motion Support: YES
In last NEO Compo this project won in the top 10: NO
Project description: Simple yet entertaining game demonstrating the possibility of motion integration and pseudo 3D in Lua.

Screen:


Long description: This game is a demonstration of the power and capability of Lua. In this game you must tilt the PSP to roll the ball along a course to the goal. As the levels pass, the courses get more challenging, and the ball rolls faster. A great game for anyone and any age!

Featuring:
   -Realistic control with the motion kit
   -Pseudo 3D levels and great graphics
   -Simple gameplay for any age player
   -Small size: the entire pack is only 1.56 MB uncompressed

PLEASE NOTE: PLUG BEFORE YOU PLAY, THE PROGRAM ASSUMES THE MOTION KIT IS ALREADY THERE

Known Issues:
   -Exit only breaks the script, I did this because os.exit() was crashing the PSP
   FIXED-Once in a blue moon it will freeze and crash, I'm not sure why

Enjoy the game and don't forget to vote!

PS. The update is now available! Please re download the zip. I am trying to find the bug that causes it to crash every once in a while. If it crashes while you are playing it, please post and let me know what level and as many details as possible.

Awesome game! Does it work without the motion kit? Even if it doesn't, that's still super-awesome. You should get bonus points for the first entry.

Thanks! I built this game in three days and just for this competition. Unfortunately, it will only work with the motion kit; this was, after all, a demonstration of the motion sensor's capability.

Nice game. [Tested w/Mo-kit] Smiley

3 days is a little understatement I think? :shrug:
 You mean total combined time of around 72 hrs?

Actually, I built it in a total time of about 8 hours, over the course of 3 days. Thanks for testing it!

In a sense, first is both good and bad.

Good in the sense your setting the bar Smiley

Bad in teh sense you could've used this extra time to make your game better Wink

So you're not allowed to post new versions up to the deadline? Like what if you want testing/feedback?

Oh actually I don't know

If that's the case I'll post my soon and continually update it Smiley

Neo - so what's the word? Can we submit a project then update it before the deadlien if we so choose?

b0rk:
I believe its not a problem to post your project and then update it a few times before the deadline - but you might hurt yourself by releasing a non-stable version first which might not be re-downloaded once everything is fixed, that will keep some negative opinions
Also Floxxx's Funportal would be against the rules then because according to his website a first (?) release was made on the 12th february of 2008 (Version number 1.0).
