threeornothing Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's an old arcade classic remake of bustout (which has probably been made better 100000 times before, but this was the best idea I could come up with). It's pretty shit, the ball has no intelligence (ie. you can't move the paddle faster to build up speed etc.) and the ball can only move diagonally and randomly decides whether to go left or right, but at least it knows which direction its bouncing so it knows whether to bounce up or down. Fun for 2 minutes, see if you can complete it (I can't). Due to the static nature of the ball it its probably impossible to complete, but thats something I'm working on, also extra life bonuses, double ball mode etc...have a butchers!Download, run bustout.exe .... use <- and -> cursor keys to move. ESC key once the fun has worn off.http://www.keilan303.demon.co.uk/bustout104.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Can you make the paddle move a bit faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheGuevara Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 That's awesome, good work What did you write it in? C++? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 That would make it too easy! But ok...paddle is a bit faster...plus I've stuck in a blue square which if you hit it it throws out a second ball. Let me know if you can actually hit the little f**er....cos I can't http://www.keilan303.demon.co.uk/bustout104.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 The paddle is still too slow! Also i have hit a glitch on the top right hand corner, ball is stuck there, paddle keeps moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Right its almost on par with the speed of the ball now so theres no excuse!I noticed the glitch too....you could say i literally cut a corner....I'll fix it next yearhttp://www.keilan303.demon.co.uk/bustout104.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onlynik Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Paddle is still too slow, detection of the paddle is out. the ball can bounce off thin air. not ad though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest onlynik Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Ok its better but you'll need to work out the bounce on teh top correctly as it really doesn't make sense. Also blue ball works but is impossible to catch. got stucki na infinite loop with only 4 bricks to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Savant Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I found that the ball bounced a little unexpectedly - like it'd bounce back in the same direction, instead of the direction it was already travelling - this made it a little hard to hit certain blocks. Also, the ball bounced down the way off the paddle once when I had the blue ball on the go too...but i still completed it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
