New Graphic Game > Need Your Approval

I have attached the game I am making, could you please tell me if it is worth finishing or you think it will be a waste of time? thanks.


P.S. On the main menu use spacebar instead of enter.

You have?:confused:

hmm.. forgot to include the file.. here it is.. and i just got back and it wont take exe.. here..

I didn't look at the game, but I would say that as long as you are learning things, the game is worth continuing, even if it is a dumb game

i think its one of the best ones here not to brag. I mean besides the windows games of course but i think its pretty good for a dos game. please give me some feedback

Could you please post a readme file or at least how the game is played?

as i said its not really finished, jsut the layout. right now i just want to know if i ontinued working on it if it would be a good game. it has colors, 2d graphics, etc, etc. Right now the only menu option that works is "Start a New Game" and in the game the blue is water and the green is grass(that will all be included in the "help" option on the main menu when the game is complete)

A good game is a well-designed game.

If you want it to be a good game, then work on the design.

Note that by design I don't mean graphics.

I'd say continue the game, or even better finish it.:)

wow, this is an active thread tonight...but anyway, keep trying because a large part of programming is about learning and you won't learn anything if you give up, other than how to be a quitter, and that's not a very useful skill when dealing with computers (:

any specific suggestions? like if im missing something or a good addition to the game?

start with a plot...and some game objectives...then a map...maybe some items, and some enemies...then go from there and see what you come up with...

lol besides the obvious.

start with the obvious, and then ask for help (:

Yeah, finish it!!

heh nice game :) but are there suppose to be black lines appearing randomly?
also you might wanna make it so that the whole map is not reprinted with every move, only the new block and old block are printed its much smoother.
in the menu try to make it so that you can press enter to start game too instead of pressing space.

finally you might wanna check out my game (dungeons of moria, link in my sig) , ;)

hope the info helped

yeah i was looking for enter but i was too lazy to find the hex/ascii/C++ code for it lol. ill get on that.

Have you seen that tanks game where you blow up barrels? It was originally done in ascii like your game and then xlated to a 10,000 line 3-d directx game. The directx version sucked.

Yeah it's not everything in graphics. It's the gameplay that counts.

You should reduce the flickering in a menu and in a game and one more thing, FINISH the game.

thanks for your input all, i will look into it
