Congratulations Phobos! You are now one buck closer to being the richest man in the world.

I tried it on my laptop and barely got 2-3 FPS. You could add some options to disable the eye candy?

[quote:tgi6phq4]after gameover if you go to the menu and start game again, it takes longer for first enemy to appear - can't find the reason why is that.

Strange, my game Cell.Protect had the very same problem. I too couldn't find any solutions to it, maybe others would have some idea.

here's another more simpler way of doing it-

This is not the best method, but more like an quick and dirty fix.

Update: The link to the main exe has been fixed, sorry for the inconvenience.

It's in the Your Creations section, but there's no link to it on the main page.

Yes! We now have 2 entries

Here's my entry for the compo, a basic platformer I did in 2 days(13-14 hours).

Everything you need to play is in this file:

You'll also need to download this font, since I cannot distribute it in the rar file.

-If you want to change the map/level, just open map.ini and and edit the currentMap item.

-If the game is too difficult/easy then you can change settings like the spawn rate of the monsters, the max damage they do and the target time. Target time is the time you have to survive to win.

I also managed to make this simple/crappy level editor to make custom levels.

Note: The size limit of the map is 65x30, although nothing much would happen if you exceed it, the extra part will be cut off.

EDIT:Please extract the game before playing. For some reason if you play without extracting, the screen appears dark because the play menu screen doesn't fade off.

EDIT 2: Link to exe fixed.

The competition ends tomorrow night, right?

Jayjay:

Yup, it's pretty much the same thing here except that we also have chemistry as a mandatory subject. Don't know where this notion of 'education is easier in the west' came from, I guess it's the effect of all those stupid teenage sitcoms shown on TV.

Djordhan:

Thanks for the info both of you

You are creating the bullet sprites at the image point 1 of the sprite enemy001, but you haven't defined the image point 1 on the enemy001 sprite. To add an image point, just open the enemy001 sprite and click on the image point button and set it to where ever you want.

Here's the fixed version-

I don't think that would help much since he mentioned that he has bipolar disorder, infact things could turn worse if it's not takencare of in a proper way.

—: It's good to see that you atleast have a therapist to whom you can talk to. In India, people who suffer from bipolar, anxiety etc disorders are labeled "attention seeking" just because the suffering is not physical and they can't see it. I can't talk about it to anybody since I know what the outcome would be, they just would think I trying to gain attention and run away from my responsibilities.

Getting in a fight is not something you should be proud of, although it's sometimes necessary to defend yourself. I never had a fight in my life, it's not that I could win . I am 18, 5'4" and barely weigh 108 lbs, so because of it I was really prone to bullies. I still have nightmares about that, wish I had just punched them once then maybe I wouldn't have these self esteem and anxiety issues that I have.

Bah, I again went offtopic...

Back to topic. When I am angry because something is unfair, I mostly do what Ashley suggested, just admit that what is happening is not unfair(although it not really helpful). When I have an argument with my family, I mostly end up doing what they want just for the sake of making them happy, after that I just isolate myself in my room for the next hour or so. Honestly, I don't even know if that helps or not.

[quote:32zdx6gp]Eh, I personally take a break from whatever is causing me anger issues. Taking a long walk in the forest helps.

I used to do this before I moved to this new city 2 years ago, now I live in the middle of a city so it's no longer an option.

Wow, the difference really seems big. According to the system you described, I just passed my A-levels and will be going to uni in a few months.

In India we don't have the credits system and instead of grades we get marks/points(exams of 40,70, 100 marks). Academics here focuses more on theory rather than practicals. We don't have many projects or presentations( I don't have a problem with this since I have severe social anxiety disorder and prefer not to be the centre of attention ) but thoery exams are more important.

And also schooling system here seems to be rather simple than what you described. Grades 1-5 are called Primary, 6-10 are called secondary, 11 and 12 are reffered as senior secondary. After we pass Grade 10, we allowed to choose different subjects based on our score in grade 10. There's Science, Commerce and Arts streams. Science stream is further divided into PCMC(Phy, Chem, Maths, Computers) and PCMB(Phy, Chem, Maths, Biology). I opted for PCMC.

The commerce and arts are considered for less "intelligent" students, not by the students though it's mostly a belief of parents and teachers(yes).

The increase in difficulty and change in subject matter is substantial in Grade XI for science students, many who used to score 90+ in grade X have now difficulty in passing, this sadly leads to suicides of many students due to very high expectations from the parents.

For the next 2 years we learn the subjects we chose and the mandatory English subject. The scores we get in grade XII is stamped on everything we do next. I plan to do B.E in Computer Science.

I hope I am not bothering you, but would you consider listing some of the stuff you learn in subjects like Phy, Chem, Maths in grade XI-XII, just want to check that what we learn here is similar or not.

Thanks for taking your time to write this.
