    yaaay, my first and best game i've actually done better than this, but i can't upload anything else because this is the first game i've actually finished... started it last night, and finished up today... the main reason i did it was so that i actually had a programming project finished (i'm bad about getting bored after a while ) source included.. you may need the allegro dll to play.. it was too big to include here... the zip is about 8 kb, i think.
    Though your title was depictive, Please tell us about your game.

    well, um... it's pong. a little ball bounces around, and you try not to let it get past yer paddle (controled by the mouse), while the computer opponent does the same. first to ten points wins.

    what's that? you suspect the computer of cheating? of course it's not cheating... yer probably just not very good at the game... maybe you need to format, or something.
    If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

    I would acually like that game better on three conditions:

    Arrow keys control the padle.
    The window was bigger.
    And the computer didn't cheat

    If the file size is big, you could always search for UPX. It's an executable compressor that works on quite a number of systems (Windows, DOS, Linux, etc). And you only need to download one zip to compress files for all those systems too.

    As for the program... If you added classes, you could have multiple balls at once. Like every three points, the ball divides. (Talk about hard games).

    Also, make the computer not cheat. Or at least not move too fast.

    My game is at my geocities site (see my sig). It took about 8 hours to make and I've since formatted my HD so I don't have the source code **sob**...oh yeah, I did it with SDL too.

    [edit]Wow! Bandii is a great game! And yeah, the ball speed is based on how fast your comp is, not time based...You can change the direction of the ball by moving the paddle left or right while you hit the ball too.[/edit]

    I think the ball moves a little to fast.

    I made this with a tool. The tool doesn't give me the source, so I can't post it. Its a game where you try to find the hole in the mountain. The hole is always in the same space, so once you beat it, you won't want to play again. Try it now. Did it work???
    The controls:
    • Arrow keys:Move
    • Enter/Return:Quit

    P.S.:The tool is the FunEditor from here.
    It costs $30 a year or $15 if you subscribe to Nintendo Power.

    ..

    I think you forgot to include the bmp files I think that's something like what the error popped up.

    He included the bitmaps. I just got an error that I am not using 16 bit. How gay.

    Now I see what you are saying.
    User Error :
    Target Function : void Map::InitMasterMap(const char *,const char *,int)
    Error Message : The bitmap file mount.bmp does not exist .
    but the bitmaps are there... WTF...

    Put the bitmaps in c:\my documents. That should help. Or else make the path:"C:\My Documents\Art Assets\Actors"
    For hiker or:"C:\My Documents\Art Assets\Maps"
    for mount.
