Planet Chili

Hello everyone.This is my first game using chilidirectxframework it still has some bugs and lots of improvements to be made.If anyone has anything to say about it I would love to here it.
Also big thanks to chili for mouse support and big thanks to whoever added the extra keys to the framework.

Pretty cool game. I see a lot of improvements here and there that could be added to the game.

I wont even start about your code. It's not like bad or horrible, but the game at this state could be written in 1/1000 of what you have now. For one, things that you use over and over, like buttons, could be made to a function. That would already save a lot of space.

You might also want to invest time on chili's bitmap loading tutorial.

Another thing to point out; once you die, the program still calculates lives and points.

But it's pretty good game anyways, don't get me wrong. Especially for your first one.

Thanks Lux I fixed a few things in it thanks for your help.

cameron,

Hey nice game!
I also noticed the repeating code that could have been reduced, but still overall, nice job for your first!

Natories

It looks nice.

I would just change couple of things

1. I think you have a bug when you press UP arrow. some pause window apear and after you go to continue it adds you 4-5 more enemies and automaticly switches to hard level i think. try it.
2. When you pick to play hard or very hard enemies shoot too fast ( bullets are to fast and enemies fire them almoust repeatedly) even it is hard dificult you should be able to survive and make kills. Like this I have to focus on avoiding enemies bullets and you don't have time to fire on enemies

thats all

you made that game by your own i bet you needed a lot of time. good job cameron.

Yeagh up arrow loads the game and down arrow saves the game I tried that out and it didnt happen for me.Space is shoot and left,right,a,d is how to move, and click for menu select.ps does anyone know why if you full screen the game the menu select and continue buttons are off. Thanks all.

you better put some other buttons for save and load game dear coz people have practice what is the significance of arraws they aren't for load or save game

So like s for save and l for load? Just off hand what is the difference between * pointer and ->.

Hey cameron, thanks for uploading your game! I always enjoy seeing users' creations. And thanks to everyone who tryed it out and gave some feedback.

You can't resize the screen because the mouse coordinates will change. If you want to be able to resize you need a way of detecting the current resolution of the screen and then you need to convert window coordinates into game screen coordinates.

* accesses the varible pointed to by a pointer
-> accesses a member of the variable pointed to by a pointer

Thanks chili.I love your video tuts.It took me forever to find good tuts like yours that are funny.I love how easy they are to understand.Maybe ill start on a new game soon.
