Weekly game in Processing - new game posted!
Feb 17th, 2010, 3:26pm
 
I've taken on the task of writing a new game every week, and have just posted my fourth so far. I've had a fair amount of experience with Java as a language, and most of what's been keeping me from making games in the past has been the overhead of managing graphics/sound/etc. rather than working on the actual game - so forcing myself to make something every week, and using Processing to do all the "boring stuff" for me, has worked out fantastically. Still learning the details of what Processing is capable of, and I think it shows in the progression of technical quality in the games I've posted so far.
Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my games (especially the latest one, Wavespark). Please try them out at NMcCoy.net and let me know what you think.  Wink

Haven't really been keeping records, so I just did a run and got 22987. Know I can do better though, I botched a landing and wound up stalling just short of the checkpoint. Tongue

Hi, thanks for putting the  link.
Played all games and enjoyed the wavespark most. Place 2 goes to no-rain-today and the 3rd place is shared by the other two games, which were less on my style (but impressive processing-programming nevertheless. Just not my taste of game).

Really cool!
