Today, I've converted my entry for the BMCF competition into a webgame, using my ABCBasic scripting engine:
http://abcbasic.comyr.com/Barry/
It could take a few mins to load, and it might not run on older machines. I didn't include any sounds.
Instructions are on the title screen. Have fun!

cool game but it plays so fast, I cant ever beat the first level.. maybe slow it down a bit?


Drak(Posted 2009) [#3]
It plays super fast on my comp too. Makes it hard to get anywhere.

Yup, *WAY* too fast.

Barry bounces up and down about five times a second on my computer.

Pressing the 'right' key for less than a second results in death on a bomb on the far right of the screen.

Also a bug: If you jump on a bomb and it explodes, and keep on the same location the sprite will continue to bounce up and down in the air *above* the location where the bomb used to be, rather than on the now-empty floor.

I just see an empty picture box. Black screen with 'no picture' icon in a square in the centre of the screen.

The speed (for me) seems fine, but that first level is really hard.


Warner(Posted 2009) [#7]
I've updated the timing routine, so it should be better now. It is hard to tell, since it runs at normal speed at my computer.
Matty, you prob. don't have Java installed/enabled.


Drak(Posted 2009) [#8]
It plays at a good speed now with the new timing routine. It's still difficult, though.

What Drak said.
