Title: A-RACE
Post by: trevmeister66 on January 28, 2007, 11:28:00 am
Ok, today i while i was sick ( :(sad.gif ) i made a sidescrolling race thingamajig. It's my first side scroller, so i hope it isn't too bad. After i added in the high score system, i thought i would post it here to see who could get the highest scores for each lvl. Just post your scores, even if they aren't going to be on the high score list.

HIGH SCORES (For A-RACE #1 only)
==========
Easy: 100 (Krid,CureDesu,Trevmeister66)
Medium: 200 (Krid)
Hard: 300 (Krid)
Expert: 204 (CureDesu)

I have set highscores, but didn't add them (i beat easy and medium  :Ptongue.gif )

EDIT: I don't know if it would be easier or harder on a Virt calc, so i recommend sending it to normal 83+/84+ (unless you can't).
Here is the file:

tried it, nice, but i think you should make the pattern more random so it's even more harder :Ptongue.gif

What were your scores?  :???:confus.gif

yeah, i somehow forgot your scores in 2 seconds and inputted something else.

EDIT: is inputted a word?
Title: A-RACE
Post by: CureDesu on January 29, 2007, 10:08:00 am
Nope, input is the right word, for present, past, or future. (you forgot to put my medium score: 158  :Dbiggrin.gif

Title: A-RACE
Post by: trevmeister66 on January 29, 2007, 01:17:00 pm
Sorry for the double post but:

"A-RACE 2: Unleashed" is now out.
New features are:
*Random tracks (although it takes a while to load, 5 or 6 seconds i think)
*New Single Race track: Endless (even though it isn't working right now, will fix it soon)
*New Career Mode: Saves your wins/losses/ and (records for each track).
*2 different High Score systems: 1 for Single race, 1 for Career.

A-RACE the original is in too.
See first post for update.

nice, your the first person i've seen beat Hard.  :thumbup:google.gif

i'll update the high scores after i post this.

how did you like A-RACE 2? do you think the random track and loading time is better than the preset maps?
Title: A-RACE
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 30, 2007, 03:42:00 am
I'm gonna try the new version asap :)smile.gif

 I like the idea of the career mode and random. But as you say the loading times are less great. As a game I prefer part 2, since it also has career. However the first one is perhaps semi more interesting for high scores since everyone gets the same tracks. Though once you beat Hard there's not much more to come back for (Expert is kinda stupid :Ptongue.gif ).

Post by: trevmeister66 on January 30, 2007, 05:33:00 am
mmm... Thanks for your input.   :)smile.gif. The thing about the random maps is it saves memory (i guess it doesn't matter much since it's only like 2K bytes or something). In the next version, i'm going to "upgrade" the career mode where you will be able to race in "tournaments" against the AI (not at same time though). I haven't completely figured out how that will work and am working on it right now. Any suggestions about it would greatly be appreciated.

 Let's say you'd race in a tournament with 7 opponents (7 opponents would be a good number , 8 player tournaments ftw).

You'd let the player race and display his score. For example 335.

Now you have 7 opponents which also "raced". Make a list of which one is the best driver, you could do this random each game. The best driver gets a higher randInt(low,high) output. So you'd randInt around a bit for all opponents and you'd end up with like.

CPU3: 589
CPU6: 550
CPU1: 459
CPU5: 402
P1: 335
CPU2: 320
CPU4: 250
CPU7: 89

Then give points etc. and after several races you have a winner!  :paf:tripaf.gif

hmm...that's a really good idea. :thumbup:google.gif i think i will be using that actually. You want credit in the readme?

EDIT: Would you rather have the random maps again or preset maps? (it will be a little faster to make the map for random maps). I plan on finishing this by tonight or tomorrow night  :Ptongue.gif

A-RACE2
Easy = 100
Medium = 200
Hard = 300
Expert = 400

A-RACE one is impossible on a TI 84 because of how fast it goes
Title: A-RACE
Post by: trevmeister66 on February 20, 2007, 04:05:00 pm
nice, glad to see people still play this :)smile.gif
Congrats on beating all of the levels ;)wink.gif

trev haha thats cause all the levels generated put all the walls on the top and none on the bottom so it was easy riding lol maybe you should fix this
Title: A-RACE

lol yeah i'll fix it in the next release, whenever i get to finishing it <_<dry.gif

Nice game, I played the first version and got 328 on Expert mode. :Ptongue.gif It's actually very easy once you get the right rhythm down.

The game itself seems like Agility but with less features, however, so you might wanna work on something that sets your game apart. The only thing I can think of right now is a better menu, but its a start (sorry if you have one already, I didn't play the second version but I read the readme and comments).
