Gen, again.

[Zero]

Greetings, all. There is a new version of my game, Gen, available on my website. Now it has two player support! No netplay yet, but I might get around to that eventually...

That's not good!!!





That means again at least half an hour that I am kept away from my Homework everyday!
I was really thinking of reprograming it to add 2-player support! No need for this.
Thanks, this game is just great fun!

[Zero]

How did you intend to do that? Reverse engineering it?

[Fox]

Still great game! *congrats*

[/\/\isanThr0p]

No, just take your pics and start from scratch.
It wouldn't be to hard. No insults, I really like your game. But the cool thing is the Idea of the Game not the programming.

[Fox]

You probably also want to have faster keyboard and (I suppose you use a timer) a timed loop...

[HarryW]

That's a good point, the keyboard input can be a bit erratic.

Great game by the way, I played it for the first time and it's really good! It's pretty darned original too, well done

[Fox]

*evil grin* Think Ill make a clone

[kedaman]

Hehe fox, you really want to that? Haven't tested the multiplayer thing yet... It seems to be almost impossible to beat myself nowodays

[Fox]

What do you mean by beat you? Youre on place 3 in the highscore...

Oh and yes, Ill make a clone I love copying good games *hehe*

[kedaman]

out of own ideas i guess? hehe, i mean i can't get even get 6000 points on gen anymore, i once had this good technique to get a lot of reactions but it seems it doesnt work anymore., Well good luck Fox I have to go on a physics test now

[HarryW]

Hehe, I got about 8500 on my first go I've seen some of the high scores though, and I just don't have that much time on my hands

[Fox]

Yep, me too.. no wait, I was stuck at level 40 or something


Well Keda, Im not out of ideas coz someone already made an RPG or Jump n Run... And this games worth it to copy

[kedaman]

The last one was really hard, but i think i beated it, (i'm talking about my physics test) well ah should get some sleep, it's 15pm and thats very very late. Actually I would like to make this game myself too, or if the word is "copy" hmm, or maybe i should make a variant of it. Well i know it's not out of ideas, since you feel inspired to do it

[Fox]

Yep He its going very good by the way, I spent the most time drawing graphics *hehe*

GenX, do you want the code when its done?

[Fox]

Hey hey, give me some time man!

Its now 1 day ago since I started to think about and make a clone! Of course I have additions, ie. the animations Ill also code some extras, just wait...

[Zero]

You'd better make it good, Fox. Or else. I might even post a link to the finished clone on the Gen page.

By the way, whoever can tell me who Alexey Pajitnov is gets a cookie.

[Fox]

Dont think that youre good because you had one good idea m8...

I bet u use a timer

[Zero]

But do you think you're good becuase you have to steal someone else's idea?

By the way, the game does not use any timers. Or external files, for that matter.

[kedaman]

hey fox and zero! you don't have to fight about those small things, fox is good enough to make even better games and Zero your game is great, i just have to say i make a clone, just because i never done any real clones before, i usually like originality better.

[HarryW]

Is Alexey Pajitnov the writer of the original Tetris? (and now he works at Microsoft)

I could really do with a cookie

[Fox]

Steal your idea???

If you really think so Im sorry you misunderstood the whole thingy!

[Zero]

But damned if I know how I'm gonna get it to him... Oh well.
