You may want to set the windob to be not resizable ;) Anyway... The concept is really cool, but since the bullets speed is determined by the distance, the clicked position hat to the center, you can exploit this, by setting up a (nearly) static circle of bullets and just camp inside it. You can solve this, by letting bullets die or give them a constant speed. Very nice work for 16 hours :)"},{"author_name":"kddekadenz","author_uid":"10000","time":"May 13, 2013 @ 1:24pm","epoch":1368451140,"text":"Did not start for me.

I made my game in Java, which I started learning approximately a month ago so that's the reason I for instance could not add sounds (don't know how to do that o:)\r\n\r\nBecause of silly timezones (and was busy on most of saturday) I only got to work like 16 hours on this. It's 4 am now o____.\r\n\r\nMmmh enough excuses! Originally, the idea behind this was that you are a person that's going the opposite direction of all the other people. People following the same stream. The other people are really dark gray, hard to spot in their dark gray environments. Your goal would be to add color to their lives. And I had some more thoughts around that.\r\n\r\nBut well here is my game and it's not quite like that. You move with arrow keys or WASD, and shoot colors with leftmouse button. If the dark people catch you up, you lose some mass, if you throw colors at people they will add mass to your body.\r\nAlso, you lose a percentage of your mass when throwing colors.\r\nThe enemies are intentionally hard to spot.\r\n\r\nYou lose when you don't have any mass left. I didn't have time to make a game over screen so it will just blink red and restart.\r\n\r\nOh well, might have spent a bit too much time on playing around with different ways of rendering the pixels.\r\nNext thing on my to-do list would probably be to make world boundaries.\r\n\r\nMinimalism because I only used dynamically semi-randomly generated pixels when rendering. Even the background is dynamically generated. Who needs sprites?\r\nThe filesize is indeed pretty minimalistic as well.\r\n\r\nIt's so long time since I've been occupied by a project in any intensity close to this! Feels kind of aweomse except for the part where I only get like 0~ hours sleep before school tomorrow.\r\n\r\nWorth it anyway!\r\n\r\nYes\r\n\r\nHello?\r\n\r\nok\r\n\r\nI was honestly pretty stressed while writing this wall of text. Submitted 10 secs before deadline :OOOO\r\nThen I discovered there was one more hour to submit. Hi.\r\n\r\nAbout the source, there's a package essential.game, which I wrote mainly a couple of weeks ago, rest is written within these 48 hours.\r\n\r\n\"Base code and personal code libraries are allowed, but should be declared and shared with the community prior to beginning your entry. To do this, make a blog post.\"\r\nUhm I think it's a little late to read the rules now but am I supposed to share that package before I upload? ok bye<\/p>","title":"Enlighten the night"}
