Well, YALG (Yet Another Laser Game) is about done I guess :) I'd like to finish it with as less bugs as possible :)
YALG can be downloaded here:
http://www.persistentrealities.com/getfile.php?file=YALGSetup.exe (8.5mb). I bet that I have to check the windowed/fullscreen stuff another time, because of the line problem stuff (you'll see)..
Eventually I hope to sell it, from this site:
http://www.persistentrealities.com/yalgsite/ It ain't done yet, and I noticed weird things happen when you resize your browser window. The content in there isn't completely serious, and hasn't been checked on typo's either.
And last, do you think 8,5 is a nice price for this game? 
Comments, ideas are welcome :)

Exactly what I do.
I design the map, with mirrors. Count all the mirrors and add them to the inventory. Save under "map name - done". Then delete the mirrors and count them another time as I delete them (last check). Then save it under "map name"
the completed one allows me to check it really is finishable :)

Yeah. I've found the best way to make a map (this, I'm sure is already common knowledge) is to design it WITH all the mirrors, etc. and then just remove them before the final save. So then it's like a puzzle, just a lot cooler. |

Yes, maps that are placed already in the map - using the editor - are unmovable during gameplay.

Hey Almar, I suppose in this version the mirrors that come placed in the map are fixed? That would change my level a bit. |

I think there's a reason for that. VBOGG is a great dll. But, like with sublcassing, it suffers from problems if you abruptly end your program (using the stop button in VB, for example). I got so tired of that, that I made an conditional compilation, something like:
#if ogg = 1 then
sub Playmusic
end sub
#end if
this will only compile the music playing code, if I set the conditional compile variable "ogg" to 1. I often forget to put it back to 1 if I compile YALG for a installation :).
Also, the music is from www.bluetonicworld.com www.besonic.com/BeSonic/User/0,4675,g0r0l0t0o0i13146,FF.html" target="_blank">http://www.besonic.com/BeSonic/User/0,4675,g0r0l0t0o0i13146,FF.html . (Yes, I've asked the guy who made the music :))
edit: the url above messes up, strange :) |

I should work further on that map to make it entirely decent, and not only a quarter of it 
Then I'll post here the final version... with the solution  |

*kick* :)
VBBR, Can you maybe give me a completed version of your map Exchange? I can't figureout how to make it work :P.
Also, I'm in need of some more maps. I made some more now, and I need about 5-6 more. so if anyone can help me on that :). This weekend I want to finish YALG.
http://www.persistentrealities.com/files/YALGSetup.exe
is the latest installer :)

so much for great testers :D |

Eh, that's nt supposed to happen. Any predefined mirrors should be fixed. I guess somewhere a boolean is not set anymore, it used to be right ;) |

Certainly. But you can't rotate them. Strange, eh? |

i was wondering, why are you able to move the mirrors that are on the level by default, seems counter-intuitive to me |
| Almar |
Posted - Jul 21 2004 : 03:07:13 AM
Yes, that is one of the most annoying bugs :)

You just need to move some mirrors :) If you click play at the start it should break the emmitter.
Also if the laser stops at an ice cube just stop and re-play, there seems to be a random bug that causes the laser to get stuck in the ice randomly. |

Hmm, the mirrors i nthe map are mirrors which should be there, or eventually be removed? And should the map finish when I press play (guess not , but I'll just ask if it's a bug in the game if it doesn't :P)
looks complex to me :) |
