pretty cool sudi

i'd make it so you can still move when out of energy
make you move faster and not have bullets collide

[sudi]

Hmmm....it was the intial idea so u have to be carefull with your energy.....and when the bullets don't collide u don't have any change at all cause then the enemy just beat the u up. This Way u can still survive. But i will think about the speed it's really slow.

[Spintz]

Well the aliens can shoot your bullets too, so takes lots of bullets to kill aliens( have to shoot through their bullets then hit them 2x at least ). It's a challenge, I like it.

[sudi]

( have to shoot through their bullets then hit them 2x at least )

Not quite right....in the first level you have to hit the enemy once in the second u have to hit the first line once and the last 2 time in the 3third level 3 time and so on....i hope at least....but u can load up your gun and a big bullet is harder to stop than a smal one.

cool game sudi,
i agree with spintz, the speed of the ship is a bit frustrating. other than that its pretty playable.

this challenge has been fairly successful so far, I think we should have more small game challenges in the future, if you're all up for making other small games that is.. I really enjoyed making mine, so I know I will be!

[sudi]

Thanks for the comments spintz and bitplane
OK turned up the speed but now i think it's way to easy to get 6000 points....anyways i wanted to upload it but gdlib.net is down.
The next thing i will release is the source when I think it's ok to show you my crappy work...

Plans:
Adding a buy menu every 2 or 3 levels to get a new ship or weapon or more shield.....so basicly extras.

[BlindSide]

Its still pretty slow sudi, that ship looks like it can go alot faster

(PS: A neat idea ill be using is to warp ahead during levels, I think u shud use that in ur game rather then the aliens just popping up again.)

Btw guys, count me in. Expect a brandspanking SI edition of THERMAL at your doorstep soon. (With multiplayer play )

[sudi]

I know that it's still slow......just as i said in my previous post i couldn't upoad it...anyways now it's out! Have fun and tell me what highscores you get....

I actually just came to level 4 or 5...with 5900 points

PS: The included irrlicht-gcc.dll can be used to compile with mingw and direct3d9 support...means link to irrlicht-gcc.dll instead of the libirrlicht like u normaly do and then ofcourse include it into ur release.

[AlexL]

Going to be starting abit late, but you can count me in on this contest as well.

EDIT: Also, what are the specs for the judges computers, this way I know what I can and can't add to the entry? Thank you in advanced.

[sudi]

Ok my entry is done....don't have any time to polish graphics and stuff. But the gameplay is done...

My question is now where should i send it? Or is it enough to just post the link here?If that is it enough here it is including the source and two project files (code::blocks and devc++) ready to compile the whole thing...just read the readme in the source download everything needed to compile is in the download. No need to setup your linker!!!!
