Wumpus Hunt

[cairnswm]

Ok so heres the situation.

I havn't done ANY game dev since the LD48 in the middle of April . Got lots of ideas but havn't done anything. Been working hard at work as well (wearing a wrist brace because of it ).

So I decided to do something quick and funny to get myself back into the whole game dev thingy.

So I made Wumpus Hunt based loosely on the dos Hunt the Wumpus game. The whole game took me just about ONE hour .

So take a look and tell me what you think:

Download size is about 67KB (Includes EXE and all images needed to play the game). You will need the SDL libraries installed to play the game.

Some problems here.

This is the log:

My OS is w2k... I think the problem is the font path :idea:

I've uploaded a new version with its own font in the Images Directory.

- Add 5 mins to development time

Nice one!
Too bad your faery game idea didn't game off the ground.

PS. hope you don't stress your wrist too much. You'll still be needing it for a very long time.

Nice
My best score is 1

[cairnswm]

Well the fairy town game or a small RTS "Humans vs Orcs" (typically) is the next game in line.

I did say it was a simple game But I thought it wasn;t bad for an hours work. (All images except the background were also done in that hour)

Hi there,

Your Wumpus Hunt program needs quite a lot of DLLs from the SDL library. I have found some of them from other programs... but not all of them. In particular I need SDL_ttf.dll.

I also have SDL Library v1.0 for Delphi but I have not looked at in ages and I don't recall how I can create my own SDL_ttf.dll ... maybe you know how this is done?!?

Seeing how you spent so little development time on this maybe you could spend a little more time documenting the required DLLs?!? ... and also sources where these files are available on the web. I don't really like the idea of having to load up the SDL library and generating these files myself (assuming that I could remember how it was done).

Regards,
Peter W. :-)))

hmm. yes, include dlls with package. I found the SDL runtime package, but it ain't Good Enough. The next error was SDL_image.dll, and someone mentioned a font dll... (is having no SDL making me look silly? Asphyre forever!)

I have the SDL Libs packaged on my web sitre at:
