My first attempt

Hi guys.

okay I'm about to dump my first game on you but please bear in mind this is my first attempt and I've not done anything remotely like this before so for an old fogey like me, its been hard work, although I've learnt a lot in the process.

Don't expect anything neat or polished, its not. its as rough as it gets but I've been working on it for several weeks now and its time for a project change, so I'm calling it done and moving on. sure there are many ways it can be better (I never did figure out how to get the tank and turret to rotate smoothy to the pointer rather than snapping around but it'll do)

Its a tank game, started off like the old Atari 2600 combat game but as time went on I updated the graphics.

I can take constructive criticism as long as its not "my god you suck and your game sucks". haha tbh I'm a bit scared of showing it really, its like being put in front of a firing squad. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" />

Here a link to the capx file, please don't look at my code, you'll laugh ..or cry <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" />

Rules:- Your 1 tank against forever respawning 2 tanks, move the pointer to aim and move the tank, left mouse to fire a round. extra lives every 1000 points.

nice game

Thanks a lot.

Showed it to my friend who just laughed (yeah, great friend huh) and said I should stop wasting my time with C2 as I'll never do anything worthwhile. tbh as cruel as that sounded at the time, he might be right. anyway thanks a lot.

Not bad for a first attempt, the important thing as you said is that you've learned a lot. Good luck

Sometimes friends feel a bit jealous and would rather dismiss an effort than say you were ahead of them somehow.
