Cavern Crawler (now) Packaged for Windows
as the title said … Cavern Crawler (now) Packaged for Windows
you can find it here!
Cavern Crawler (Final)
Well after many, many set backs I managed to cough up a finished “game”
[[ Right now its just a love package (renamed zip file) and you will need love installed to play
Windows "dbl click n go" soon to come for more convenience ]]
The original concept was a “shooter” but then turned twards “asteroids meets defender”, but then collision with the walls proved a major problem, which took a day and a quarter !
after seeing a simple solution to all of that, I had less than 6 hours to fix the collisions and make some form of game, so there is nothing attacking you, its mostly another maze game, and the code is horrible
But after tossing in the towel 2 times I am just happy to have a product that qualifies as a game
gfx = inkscape
music = Osgeld + crappy old keyboard and SFXR
system = love 0.50
font = cheated


1024×768 window, Keyboard control (arrow keys, wsad, and keypad)
If you have love already installed on your system or use unzip for sources
Self exe windows package tomorrow when I get home from work
Finally Some wall collision
Ok I have burned soooo much time on getting my dumb little spaceship to collide against the cavern walls, and now Ive got it working … sorta, but its good enough for now
Less than 6 hours to go and I am just now starting on the game parts … wish me luck

Some progress
Ive got how I am going to do the scrolling maps worked out, just need to figure out collision

LD is the only time I seem to clean my desk …
Heres my desk for this one around, not much has changed from LD 14

The computer moved from on top to under, the keyboard was upgraded from “generic clicky” to IBM Model M … um I have a clock and a candle (called “smell my nuts” I kid you not)

Also this time around (if theres enough time) I am going to try my hand at some music, now I am not an accomplished musician, altho I took piano as a kid and played many instruments during high school and early 20’s
Now Im 30 and 10 years out of practice, but I bummed this dirt old keyboard from work, with a excellent sequencer / composer which allows me to baby step so hopefully I can make some basic music that wont make everyone’s ears bleed
Cant wait to get started, and wish everyone good luck

*noobie tip: eat a good dinner, and take a shower before the compo starts !
Dude, you should title your posts – PoV
I had to go into town today so I stopped in one of the local computer shops that I happen to be buddies with the owner
And scored a 1984 Model “M” 1391401 with a ps/2 cord
yay!!
works perfect, using it now
And I am in for the upcoming LD, still using love
