Hey everyone!
I just recently finished working on a physics based game called diBALLic. Its basically Pong with some other cool features:
*Support for two human players
*Support for a human player and computer player
*Support for two computer players
You shouldn't download this game if you want to get any work done. Otherwise, here's some screenshots:
diBALLic gameplay:
Some more features include:
*Gamepad/Joystick support
*Customizable options text file
*Special energized hit ability
*Cool music and sound effects
The different customizable settings:
If there is enough interest, I will make a tutorial detailing how to make this game from start to finish in TGB. I'm not humanitarian enough to do it just because perhaps one person will benefit. Make sure to let me know what you like and what you dislike about the game. My email is:
syreal [at] syrealgames [dot] com
The AI in diBALLic relies on triangular waveform regression equations in order to calculate where the ball is going to go. The simpler AI just simply follows the Y coordinate of the ball. The smart AI is completely unbeatable at a speed of 60. Its pretty cool to watch two smart AI's going at each other, both at 60 speed.
Or leave a comment here on the .plan. In the very least, the source will be made available for TGB developers on the private TGB forums.
DOWNLOAD:
diBALLic version 1.02 [This version is out of date.]
Latest version:
diBALLic version 1.05 (5 megs)
New in version 1.05:
*Cool floating, multicolored squares in the background
*Some minor script adjustments
The new background effect:
diBALLic SOURCE is now available for TGB users.

Mad props Kevin! It's a pretty cool spin on Pong!
Edit: Luke, Kevin, same?

I think that I should be more like Kevin. My projects always aim high and hardly get off the ground. I should make short, fun games and actually finish them!Mad props Kevin! It's a pretty cool spin on Pong!

Great to see what you've been working on man. I see you helping people quite a bit on the forums and was wondering if you get to actually work on stuff in between. Download now to check it out...

A tutorial would be nice just to figure out what that is! : P
Seriously, a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I try to go thru them all to get a better understanding of different areas of TGB.

Obviously, there is a great interest in the tutorial aspect as well. Out of curiosity, will you be creating the tut on TDN or use your own format? Either way, I'm excited to see it!
Keep up the good work! =)
