Platform Game - UPDATED 3 [ C++ & Allegro ]

[NiteHackr]

I don't know how artistic you are, but you might like "Tile Studio", it's a really nice free tile editing/creation utility. Comes with a build in map editor. I like to use the built in map editor to test out the tiles I am creating. When you edit them it shows you what the tile looks like tiled as you edit. It has some really nice features anyhow. I'm not very artistic but have been able to whip up a few nice ones with it. It's open source. Just google it.

Cani download that? Looks really nice! :)

[Grandboy3000]

[DoNotHackMyAccount]

Selfmade GUI routines ? 5/5

[aldex123]

[Azdeth11]

nicely done!

[crazymanny00]

nice stuff man, hey whats that music :P?

[aldex123]

Into the void by nine inch nails

[crazymanny00]

How long has this taken you to make the platform game and the editor all together?

[aldex123]

Well i made it time ago... I remember it was like a month... but working like 3 or 4 days a week like 2 hours each...

I made it in my free time, uni is making me crazy haha

[gamemak0r]

hey i used to use unregistered hypercam but now i use CamStudio its great and free i think you should try it and tell others

[aldex123]

Thanks man, but in my new vids I'm using camtasia. =) thx anyways! keep it up!

[gamemak0r]

can we download your map maker im currently using allegro c++ if we can how

[aldex123]

Well i'm really busy to upload stuff right now.. But maybe later I will man... I will try to finish the game when I get to vacations (If I get the chance... since i'm working on XNA) and I will release it with the map maker and everything

[lee155912000]

This is sweet!

Can't wait till I'm good enough to make something like this.

[aldex123]

Thanks man =) heh

[salmiak911]

Hmm, personally I don't like Allegro. Tought I used to use it as a little kid ( 10 years ago or soo ).

I would like to see your code when you feel ready to release it.

[MrEmreD]

So far it looks great :) Keep up the great work !

One suggestion:

I think the game would be much better if you had centered the view to the protagonist - like in mario. its better to see just one part of the map instead of seeing all of it

Best regards ;)

[mccoy301]

where do i get this

[aldex123]

no where... I haven't finished it yet

[SneakySteeve]

5 stars! :D

How did you manage to do your collision detection? It has been a maze for me on my games.

[aldex123]

Hey! thanks =)

Well... it's a tile based collision... I just check the tile where the player is located and then if he has a box at any of his sides, it detects it... and well.. that's most of it heh

[teteen]

not bad, check my programs ;d ;)

[mybowlcut]

Good graphics go a long way! Game looks really cool. I like how it takes a few shots to kill the enemies and all the little gadgets you've got going on with preset behaviour... very nice.

[aldex123]

thx man =)

[nolfolk]

masterpiece *-* did it all with allegro ? I'm trying to study openGL, but put texture on stuff seems to be impossible to me u,u

Congratz there !

[aldex123]

Thanks man, yeah everything was made with allegro, and the graphics with Photoshop...

Well I don't know any OpenGL... I got some books, and I'm going to read them when I get a chance heh

Thanks for the comment

[trufun202]

Nice work man!  This is looking great.

[aldex123]

Thanks man!

[wweecw2nick]

hay can u post a tutorial how to make a game like this i subscribed

[aldex123]

Hey! I will think about it!

Right now I don't have enough time to do that...

But maybe I will, not about making a complete game, but I could give you a few tricks and ideas for your games.

[wweecw2nick]

ok thaxs man!!

[poppedcorn123698745]

if you could post a video to give some insight on a how to create a map maker it would be greatly apprectiated

[aldex123]

It's done!

I made the vid you ask for! check it out! ;)

[poppedcorn123698745]

thanks!

[soccergod561234]

great game man :) I love the graphics to! especially the bullets and map maker :P I have a question though, whered you learn to make tilemaps in allegro? Ive been looking everywhere for tutorials and I cant find one the explains it well, where did you learn how to?

[aldex123]

Hey! Well I didn't look out for any tutorials at all.

I used Macromedia Flash, and actionscript. So I had the experience on doing tile maps and stuff on editors and games I made time ago..

I just had to figure out how to make it work properly here tho.

But I don't use Flash since 2004, so it was time ago XD

[Wizrai]

See? See? He likes the graphics! :D

[alskoy]

What compiler do you use. I'm looking for a new one and i don't want to have to go through the hassle of fixing allegro again. Lol.

[aldex123]

Dev-Cpp.

You just have to download the allegro devpak and that's it.

[limited06]

Nice work as usual, I got a few animations working in mine. I need to add in some door ones once you have finished collecting all the objectives though.

[aldex123]

nice man! well thanks for the comment heh =) yeah Well i have to work now on moving platforms and well, make a menu for the game and stuff like that =P
