[Lua] Hill Climb Racing
« on: July 20, 2014, 05:51:04 pm »
Me again with another lua game for the nspire.
This is the result of me playing around with the built-in physics engine in lua. In the current state the game is playable, but lacking important elements, such as score, upgrades, different cars and better graphics.
What is implemented right now:
- car controlled with the arrow keys
- generated landscape wich adds to the front and removes its back
- bad vehicle physics

Planned features include:
- proper vehicle physics
- highscores
- upgrades
- different cars
- different tracks
- fuel
- death which ends the game :devil:
(basically the stuff from Hill Climb Racing)

Looks quite cool. I can't try it though since I have OS 3.1 D:

Will it be like the bike game in California's Games? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Games

I would kepp downward compatibility, if the physics engine would be included in older versions. I'm sorry

Well at the moment I have no plans of how exactly the vehicles should look like. And I thought of this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingersoft.hillclimb

- bad vehicle physics

Wait, you're implementing bad vehicle physics?

I think he means that for the time being he hasn't implemented good one yet. :P

That's it :D
I'm still working out how joints and springs work, that's why the vehicle physics are not too god right now. But that will be one of the next things to do  ::)

Haha, if your car gets stuck, just spawn like 50 cars under it to fling it forward :P
Anyways, great job!

I don't think you can spawn cars in game :P

You can, I just tried it out :P
Probably just temporary for testing the physics

I suggest keep that feature.
It could overload your calc :)

You can even spawn blue balls. But I won't tell you how  :P (and I'm not sure if it would work on a real calc insted of the emulator)
Anyway, this is just a temporary feature and as the game is stil in an early stage I decided to keep it for now. I used it to determine how to handle the landscape properly.

Maybe as the game progresses you could add obstacles like hay bales that slows you down greatly and stuff that can kill you like cows slowly wandering around, rocks, nethams, holes and stuff like that.

Holes should be possible, but other obstacles than steep slopes could be a problem, because you can't avoid them in a 2D world. Things that slow you down should be possible though
