Title: My Cage Match Entry
Post by: AngelFish on December 18, 2010, 10:43:46 pm: In honor of the current Cage match, here is my "Entry." The screenie appears really slow to me, but I'm not sure if that's because of the Firefox Beta version or my corrupted Wabbitemu file. It runs at a reasonable speed on-calc.

EDIT: Firefox Beta is the problem :P

Title: Re: My Cage Match Entry
Post by: AngelFish on December 18, 2010, 11:38:47 pm: To press the button. It's a one button game :P

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 18, 2010, 11:41:49 pm: Yeah but is there any difficulty, like the mouse cursor moving and you are forced to press enter right in time before cursor goes too far?

Post by: AngelFish on December 18, 2010, 11:46:07 pm: Nope, none at all. You can move the cursor any direction you want. There's only one button and pushing that button is the entire game.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 18, 2010, 11:48:49 pm: Ok but it's not a game, then? I thought the cage matches required to have a game where you can win or lose? ??? (Unless you actually lose when it says "The Game"? :P) Also how can you move in 4 directions if only one button can be pressed and go through text? O.O Does it just turn around 90° every keypress and on the 5th keypress it goes through the text if you're over it? ???

Other than that you can use the arrow keys and a button to push the button :P

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 18, 2010, 11:50:28 pm: Ok, I think I get it. I guess I just thought that every game required to be able to win or lose.

Well I don't think it's a serious entry type thing, but I could be wrong :P

Yep, it's literally a one button game. No one said the button had to be physical...

And no it's not serious. I made it in a couple of hours, both of which were spent debugging the thing.
