Never mind, just noticed you changed it |

Hey guys. Here is my game. I couldnt figure out how to make anything using the in game designing, so it is a saved file with paddles i made in Paintshop Here is the link. http://rapidshare.com/files/56476270/Boredbb_Pong.ZIP.html It is not that well finished. It is a little glitchy, but the deadline is tomorrow so i just had to get it out now. Sorry about any glitches that may occur. And the paddle is a little twitchy as well. :( Sorry you have to download it. :) |
| ||
Ripoff of Kong. :P |
| ||
cool mintybreath |
| ||
Yes, very nice. :) |
| ||
Ripoff of Kong. :P Whats kong? And anyway, i may re enter, and fix some of the glitches since the deadline was pushed back. |
| ||
Does look a lot like Kong from Game Programming for Teens Second Edition... |
| ||
Never read it. Probably a coincidence. What about it looks like Kong? And if Kong is just a copy off of pong like mine was, then it probably just looks like Pong. That kinda makes more sense. |
| ||
it just looks the same because Kong also had 2 paddles on a black screen. Maybe if you add some kind of special effects(background,particles,stars,powerups,etc...) it will look more original. |
| ||
Oh, the only reason it was 2 paddles on a black screen was because i didnt make a background yet. I probably will, my pong version isnt really even done yet. I just entered it because that was the due date, and i figured, " Might as well get it out there" I will change alot more though |
| ||
Nah, the scores are in the same place, when someone scores... Just looks the same... |
| ||
I put the scores in the upper right corner because that seemed like the best spot. It just occured to me first. And you think i copied off of this Kong game because my scores are in the same spot? really? How could my game look like Kong when i made all the paddles and ball myself. The only way it could look alike is if i used the same exact paddles and stuff, considering those are the only significant things in my game. And hopefully the paddles look nothing like Kong's paddles, or that would be wierd. |
| ||
This just in! I may know somewhat about what you are talking about. I still have no idea what this Kong thing is, but when i was first making the game, i had some help from some website i found. They had a Pong sort of game on it too. I used a little of the code from that, some of the source code. I wasnt sure how to do a few things, that is why. I wish i could remember the name of the site though... :( Any way, i did that a while ago, before the contest started, when i was making Pong for the fun of it. I really had no intention of copying a game, I just needed some source code because i was not sure how to make it, or start it. |
| ||
How could it possibly take you this long to make a Pong clone? |
| ||
I am not a coding guru. I guess i would be considered a coding noob. I am only 14, and i know mostly just the basics. |
| ||
I didn't know you're 14, I'm 13! :D |
| ||
So is this contest over yet?? |
| ||
I didn't know you're 14, I'm 13! :D you r? Cool. :) And i dont know if this is over yet either. |
| ||
Nah, it only looks the same when you score. Was just the first thing that came to me... |
| ||
I think we should make another contest like this, It was really fun. |
| ||
Ya we really should. Like a...hmm.... 72 hour pacman making contest, or something like that? :) Lol. 48 hour Halo making contest. That would be cool, but probably not a big enough due date. And way too hard. |
| ||
ya |
| ||
ok, seriously FPS, Who won? |
| ||
lol yeah I was thinking of doing a 168 hour asteroid contest until I gave away the prize =D Now you can get it here: http://www.syntaxbomb.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item26 The catapult was the prize =D |
| ||
I thought the prize was 24 hours of coding anything? |
| ||
That was FPS's prize, I said that I was about to do a 168 hour asteroid contest, but I gave away the prize. The winner of this contest is 24 hours of coding ;) |
| ||
that's what i want to know, who won THIS contest? |
| ||
Me wanna know too. Wait... Judges: Blitz Community. Cast your Votes here. Kip has won. |
| ||
I won??!!??!!?? :D |
