My first game: Hole-boy
Jul 14th, 2009, 5:19am  
Hello!
This is my very first completed game, made for teaching myself some basic programming. You can not use arrow-keys for movement as I couldn't manage to get those working, so 'w' and 's' it is.

I wasn't aware of that you could import fonts so all text is made with line(); so most of the source-code is lines making letters, haha! I think the game is neat but lacks a high score which would make it way funnier.

Thanks for looking! (Don't forget to read the awesome story;/)

Amusing and not bad for a first try! Although I am not too sure how score is computed.
I hate the wsad key controls, as I have a French keyboard: a is on top row and w on bottom... Smiley

Thank you!
Well I am terribly sorry about the w,a,s & d, haha! I tried to avoid it, but my laptop didn't listen to when i pressed the arrow-keys. I should make a french version ;)

The score is counted +1 point everytime the ball goes through the net. Your score is x2 is you manage to win a bet. This is very hard though.

The "right" solution is to allow user to choose keys himself. Not obvious to do in Processing, though.

The concept is original, at least. :-)
