What explosions look really good in Axe Parser? Do you have a favorite explosion in a game that you've played where the explosion looked really cool? Do you prefer particle explosions, sprite explosions, or shock wave explosions?
-
I think my favorite is the one made by leafiness for Graviter.

Another, more recent, screenie:

Oh that one is indeeed cool Z ;) However, it's the only I can think of :S
-
Particle explosions looks best (that's what I think at least...) :)
-
I think you missed a type evident in both me and builderboy's original entries, which is like shockwave explosions but slightly different (this one is an example from my game):

I got bored of physics based games so I decided not to breed yet another one to the world. And, I was too busy to finish, by the time I had to crack down if I was gonna win, I was working 50 hour weeks for my job in most cases, got sick twice, and got my calc stolen for a week once.

Screenies of second two types.

There's actually two types of explosions in DS...it's pretty far into the screenie but it crops up eventually

Basically a particle explosion but with a sprite instead of a pixel, and the bits stick to the walls and such
-
Thanks. I don't remember Cube Runner looking quite like that...is it a TAS or just an old version?
-
That's an old version. First screenie I found that had the explosion :P
Also iirc Blur (a contest entry last year) had a sprite explosion, except it didn't just fill in random data but it had a series of sprites.

Another one of my favorites is from SirCmpwn's Chopper game:

If we're going to start talking about explosions, then we can't leave out the game that has probably 100 times more explosions than any other game.
Geometry Wars!! (Don't worry, I hacked it to start off this hard)
-
Oh yeah, there *are* explosions in that game. I can't tell most of the time, 'cause I'm just trying to stay alive. ;)
My high score is 12893. :D Awesome game.

I like that game and Obstacle Snake because they both drop you straight into the game from the menu, which I think is pretty cool :)

PM me the hacked version

Hey, cuberunner/space dash explosion routine does more than random data explosions ;) It uses sprites in the mono layer and random data in the gray layer ;)
I like particle explosions best but sprite explosions are easier in most cases :P
-
I kinda upgraded the particle explosion in Graviter for Tag - in Tag there's more particles and they interact with the environment more fluidly. I must say I'm partial to particle explosions (of course) but seeing the kind of explosions builder and darl pulled off really had me going wow.
-
oh, my...
this is a rather one-sided vote :P/me waits for someone to vote for a different option just to prove him wrong
anyway, Graviter has truly great explosions :D
-
I like watching the particles from Tag fly around. Somehow, it makes dying not as bad.
-
PM me the hacked version
It's only worth it if you also start with like 10,000+ points XD
-
Real explosions are the best >:D

Yeah, they are the only ones that goes BOOM!
The TI-83+ versions lack the BOOM!.
-
I like sprite explosions, but most of them are implosions. :P
-
I only like sprite explosions when they are made well - high framerate and fluid motion.
