    Chopper: My second game

    Some of you might remember SpaceWars, a little game I made that I released on here a while back.

    Well, here's another game .

    Note that this is not Redoubt, the 3D one I posted screenys of; that's not even close to finished yet. This one is called Chopper (yes, I suck at thinking of names ), and it's a 2D game made in OpenGL. Really simple concept, but it's strangly addictive .

    From the Readme.txt:
    This is a basic little game I made mostly over one weekend for a 'make a game in 24hrs' competition. I didn't get it completed, but everyone I showed it to seemed to like it, so I decided to finish it. The aim of the game is to guide a helicopter through a cave, in as short a time as possible, without touching the walls or running out of fuel.

    Features:
    -2D graphics via OpenGL
    -Sound / music via FMod
    -Multiplayer with 2 people on one computer
    -Level editor (not complete yet; it works, but it's not very good. Stay tuned for updates!)
    -Random level generator
    -Particle system for explosions, smoke, powerup effects, etc
    -Records system for level completion.
    -Based on the 'NeheGL Base Code'. See http://nehe.gamedev.net for more info.
    -Cartoon-style graphics
    Anyway, enough with explanations:
    Click below to see screenys or to download it:

    It's hosted on my old tripod site at the moment, as I don't have access to FTP at my school. It'll be up on a much faster, non-bandwith-limited mirror ASAP

    EDIT: OK, tripod overloaded like 1 hour after I went public. As promised, here's the high-bandwidth mirror:

    (direct link, no screenys, sorry)

    Comments, tips, flames, praise, curses, etc etc welcome!

    (oh, and as an aside, watch the credits. Of the pictures there, which one do you think I am? )
