Looks like an authentic arcade game, your idea is very good. The absence of texturemapping make the game more atmospheric. Looking forward for the final version

Thanks mate
Well, I think I have done as much as I can for this competition!
I have uploaded the latest (and most likely the last) zip file to the FTP site:
"paul_nicholls - vectored! - final.zip" (6.1MB file, Win 32 only - tested on Vista/XP)
It includes a read me file with my email address and instructions
It even has some music now
PLEASE! let me know if it works, or doesn't work ASAP!!
cheers,
Paul

Windows 7 64 bit here, works fine with sounds.
Some notes: It says "Press f5 to reset" when you die, but pressing f5 seemingly does nothing?
When you die / run out of time, it resets your distance to 0, so you don't know how well you did
Damn! I thought I had fixed the F5 issue - I removed it to reduce the button count for extra points...Some notes: It says "Press f5 to reset" when you die, but pressing f5 seemingly does nothing?

Ok, I will try and fix this and the resetting issue too ASAP if I still have time.
Thanks for testing!

Hidden cheat codes or for-development testing things can be forgiven as long as they are either well hidden from the core of the game or they are disabled for the normal running of the game it's self.
I don't want everyone to have to tear apart they means of which they developed their game, just to satisfy the d-pad + 4 buttons rule. As long as the game is played among the 8 buttons and any extra keys used are only for debugging purposes, we will judge those and not get into nitty gritty bits about how F1 makes the FPS display come on and off. That doesn't effect the game so we don't care about tiny things like that.
Thanks Jason I have already removed the F5 bit (and from the audio file too) anway...
I am just adding some effects for when objects are destroyed/picked up, and I will re-submit my entry (very soon)
cheers,

Attention everyone (and judges )
I have now uploaded (hopefully) my final version - it now includes music this time (I forgot to add it to the archive...D'OH!), and graphical effects when destroying objects/picking them up
I think I now have all the bugs out of it, like the audio saying press F5 but that not working (is now removed) hehe
The new filename is:
"paul_nicholls - vectored! - final#2.zip" (Win32 only, 6.1MB in size)
Thanks to http://www.readthewords.com for all the voices in the game
Thanks all, and good luck!!
cheers,
Paul

Well, if I get time tonight, I will upload a newer version of my game - I have added in a fullscreen mode using "-fullscreen" as a parameter
I will also do some small tweeks too...
It is 8:05pm on the 17th here in Australia and I don't know how many hours I have left
cheers,
Paul
