About two weeks ago I decided I wanted to make a Centipede clone for the contest. Centipede is a classic Atari game.
Sadly enough I only could spend a couple of hours on it, so it did not get done in time.
Here is what I have until now:

As you can see there are still many things lacking:
- You don't die when hit (or win)
- No spiders, no fleas and no scorpions
- graphics aren't so good yet
- Controls need improvement.
But I intend to finish it, so it's not too bad :)
-
Yaaaaay!!!
-
Not bad, not bad. :P
-
Although it isn't finished, it is still a nice start. :) I look forward to seeing it completed. =)

How do you control your cannon by the way? Using directional buttons or swiping the touchpad like a trackball?
Edit: You know you have a small area at the bottom to move around freely in all directions, don't you?
-
Very good job, jimbauwens! If you finished you probably would've done very well. :)
-
Yeah, looks very good even though it's not finished.
-
Thanks all for your kind words :)

Currently only the arrow keys, but I plan to change that.
Yes, I just didn't move much in the animation. My area is 4 mushrooms high.

It looks awesome, albeit there's something I don't get. What 'head' do you control when the centipede is split in more than one piece?
Good job, nonetheless!
-
I think you control the canon, not the centipede.
-
That's correct. Centipede is kind of like the old space invaders. You control the cannon, and are trying to kill the centipede before it comes down and kills you. :)

Looks like a fun game :D Too bad you couldn't finish it in time for the contest, but I'm glad you're planning to finish it anyway!

Oooh, that explains a lot :P thanks

Looks not bad so far :D

Info time: Centipede is the first game made by a woman

This looks great. I hope it gets finished. :D

This makes me so nostalgic, reminds me of the olden days x.x
-
That reminds me, have you ever worked on this again? It looked cool and I would like to try this when it's complete or playable. Does it run on OS 3.1?
