GemChase Alpha

A new upload tomorrow. I am too tired.

Fixed all known bugs.
Highscore system works. I only need a highscore table to display ingame and a dialog to enter your name.
Joystick, mouse and keyboard fully supported as input devices (in game and menu).

I will upload a new version when I finished the highscore table (the game already manages highscores and saves them to disk, but only with a preset name ).

Bah, sorry for the delay. Did not had any time the last days.
I will be back on it when I got some hours of time. I guess by this week.

Just to let you know that the project did not die, I post a little screenshot with the new leveltile-map-system.

I made a leveleditor and changed the whole tile-system. Now I can make cavelike levels with "rounded shapes".

As soon as I get some time I will finish this little game. Unfortunately I had other things to do in the past...

Hi Dirk,

That is looking very excellent. Now that the tour is finished you can get back to coding

Very nice Dirk.

I was hoping Cadel Evans was going to win the tour, but he flaked in the mountains.

[Huehnerschaender]

Are you talking about the tour de France? *lol* I hate to watch cycling on the tv... I consider it nothing more than boring
In fact, I had totally different things to do

[czar]

That and the fact that ARD and ZDF stopped showing the tour in Germany. I was firmly for the Rabobank, I think Boogerd and Dekker did a superb job supporting the yellow jersey wearer - just a shame that Rasmussen is such a dodgy character. Mountain stages were very exciting.


I thought Cadel had zip personality

[pstudio]

The Tour is cr*p. With no prooves at all the yellow jersey is kicked out, practically after he've won the tour. Instead Contador wins who's involved with the Puerto case. Is that a more worthy winner?
And now it even seems, that it was Prudhomme himself that forced Rabobank to drop Rasmussen.
I like Evans and perhaps he should have won, but the best would be to just drop the tour. What's the point? Whoever is doing well, will be accused of using doping. The tour is dead. Not just because of the doping accusions and revealings, but also because of how lousy the tour administration is acting.

back to topic.
Looks great Dirk. When will we get a new playable demo?

Good job Very nice voice over :razz: Did you make those sounds yourself??
The game works well on my system:

Windows Viasta Ultimate
AMD 64 X2 5400+
2 Gig DDRII RAM
Club3d Geforce 8600

My FPS was 500.

The only glitch i noticed was flickering of the GUI text.
Hope you can solve it.

Good luck.

[Huehnerschaender]

Thanks guys

Did you make those sounds yourself??

Yep. It's my own voice *hehe*

Thanks. Good to know! Especially because I don't own a single NVidia card. All my computers have ATI card in them.

The only glitch i noticed was flickering of the GUI text.
Hope you can solve it.

Hmm... this never occured here. But maybe this problem is solved by the new version of DanJetX which I am using now. Lets wait and see...

When will we get a new playable demo?

Soon. I just need to do some levels and some things I stopped at when real life caught me some weeks ago The highscore list for example is working, but the "enter your name"-dialog is not finished yet.

I also want to change the spawning of gems and extras. At the moment they spawn at a random place. I want to add fixed spawn points which can be set in the editor to allow better level design. +100 extra for example should not spawn right beneath the ship. It should spawn in an area which is hard to reach. At the moment there is no control about the spawnpoints of things. Thats what I want to change next. I think its very important for level design.
