TAG - Action-Packed realtime MULTIPLAYER GAME - must see! |
|
| | 
| | | | I made this game as a project to learn about winsock, and to prepare myself for a future project that uses similar concepts as this game. In this game, you chase your opponent around an "arena" until you catch him/her, at that point, he/she becomes "it" - like the classic childrens backyard game of tag. I plan on adding a map editor which will enable players to design their own arenas, including ramps, pillars, etc. The next thing i will be doing is tightening up the calculations and code to make it run smoother and not fall out of sync like it likes to every once and a while. This code is a must see for anytone that plans on making their own online games. please VOTE FOR ME if ya like it. If you wanna play a match with me, my ICQ number is 91914752. Enjoy, and happy-programming.
If anyone knows how i could tighten up the calculations and improve the game's efficientcy in any way let me know, I HAVE HEAVILY COMMENTED ALL THE CODE so it should be pretty easy to understand. remember to vote =)

ppl find so they can be fixed ASAP.
I

Bravo! This is easily the best
demonstration of real-time multiplayer
gaming I have seen on PSC! I have some
Ideas on how to improve one of the
bigger calculations it has to perform,
check your e-mail... keep up the good
work! FIVE STARS!

2/3/2001 11:23:30 AM:Roger Chang

GLOBES here!

Thnx for the encouragment everyone, I
just had an idea for this game, i might
put a laser-gun type of thing so the
players can play it like laser quest,
and maybe i'll make it a
multi-connection capable game so you
could have like 4 people in one game.
I'd have to make the arenas bigger and
really work on the calculations. I'm
glad ya'll like it, keep the comments
and Votes commin! by the way, my ICQ
number is 91914752 if anyone wants to
play a match with me. thanks again. =)

Humm, the music keeps playing when I
press End (In the IDE)
I've already
seen some things that could be
optimised.
Maybe I'll mail you
later
|
2/3/2001 2:07:01 PM:Tim Miron
yeah, there is some stuff that could be
worked with, i aint the best
mathimatician i'm 15 and in 10th grade
so some of the stuff was probably done
the long way, for some reason the music
keeps playing unless you exit the game
by pressing the X in the corner, the
terminate sub dont seem to have any
effect on it. I'm workin on that exact
problem right now. but hey, i tried.
thanks for telling me! =)

also, if you choose to be a client and
press connect, i have it so it will
bring you to the game screen, and tells
you if your connecting or whats going
on with the connection, but doesn't
start the game until the connection is
varified. I figured out how to make it
not get out of sync as well, so i'll
re-upload this code in the next day or
two.

Nice work man! YES, the other guy is
right, some things could be tightened
up a little, but all in all this is
superb code - 5 GLOBES from me!!!

This is a very good game d00d. Simple
and fun :D 5 Globes, I hope u win
Coding contest ;)

2/9/2001 4:54:42 PM:Tim Miron
Well, i've gotten a few comments sayin
i should make a single player AI
version of this so i'm workin on that
right now, I've re-uploaded this code
submission and improved a little bit on
the data-stream handleing, and fix a
typo that i made before. Hope everyone
is enjoying this game, keep your
feedback and the votes comming... Happy
Programming =)

2/19/2001 3:17:09 AM:Rocky
Hey this is awsome. Anyone who wants to
match me in this game e-mail me at
vxvrockyvxv@aol.com I'm dieing to test
this out.
|
2/23/2001 8:01:13 PM:vbcodeguru
Tim, i am sorry to tell that your code
does not work at all coz' i haved
already tested it and it does'nt work
at all. I am just wondering why this
people vote for a code that does not
really work at all. I have rated your
code 1. I'm sorry man but your code is
very far from finished coz' it has many
major bugs in it.
|
2/23/2001 8:25:19 PM:Steve Jobs
Your code sucks!!! More practice man
because your code does not really
work!! And i agree to vbcodeguru that
your code is 100% pure of BUGS. Nice
try. My vote for your is poor
|
2/24/2001 8:59:41 AM:LinuxDude
Tim......i am not impressed with your
code...i have tested it too...and the
only thing that happens is that your
code always crash simply because your
code ARE FILLED WITH BUGS!!!!! I will
give you 1 glove....Don't keep it
up...Backup now before its too late...
|
2/24/2001 9:02:07 AM:Tim Miron
Oh really??? Maybe i screwed a few
things up when i re-uploaded it, but it
wa working for me and some friends we
tried it ourselves! I have noticed
that it doesn't work if you have ICQ
running sometimes, I'm not quiet sure
why? Well, I do know it was working a
few weeks ago and i did RE-UPLOAD it
about 2 weeks ago, or maybe it was 3,
and when i did so i tried to correct
some fo the bugs and improve the
data-stream handeling to be faster and
more efficient, perhaps I actually
scr4wed it up, but i know that the
first upload of it worked because I
played numerous matches with some
people and it worked. I will try to
look into what exactly i messed up. For
now i suggest that no one DLs this code
until i fix it. I will post a comment
here when i do so. Workin on it right
now actually. Thanks for your comments.

Well done, well I'll take a look at it
and see if I can improve it or
something. I'd like to add something
more than just running around the place
(more than 1 person to catch), etc
|
3/13/2001 9:55:18 PM:Cyberjet
That is a cool code and i got it
running! I'm glad you are the contents
winner and these guys who given you 1
globe are just a bit lame, ask them
what have they written in VB.
Notes
from first look:
1)
Instead of doing
Dim m ... etc and
then
m=msgbox(...)
do not declare m,
just remove brackets for the message in
message box.
2)It is not an easy code
and has a silly mistake: how would you
expect menus to work if the action is
declared as private in the other form.
Take all sub mnu..._click events to the
form1 if u havent done so yet.

3/13/2001 10:20:35 PM:Cyberjet
Timer1_Timer
not significantly but
faster if you change your if statements
to select case:
It may even be better
if you create a function and pass
values to it, if you want me to do it
e-mail me.

Very nice...

3/24/2001 10:47:15 PM:Syrius
Mike Canejo has been submitting code on
here for a long time, and he doesn't
want any competition. He gave you 1
globe because he wants his code to win.
I know that because he will vote a 1 on
anything that might reduce his chances
of winning.
|
3/31/2001 11:47:37 PM:The Germ
It cant connect to anyone! Can anyone
help?
|
4/28/2001 6:33:50 AM:Jeremy
The 3 people that all voted one globe
are the same person.. they make similar
grammar mistakes.
When you have to
fake votes on your competition.. your
code is junk. If you win, big deal, its
a hollow victory if it isn't earned.

1/2/2002 3:22:11 AM:Emperor Frollard
I honestly can say, It doesnt work.
my
friend and I are REALLY looking forward
to learning winsock, but in winxp Pro,
it just doesnt work. I havent tried
booting to win98 (gag) to try this. it
just sits there waiting to connect. I
have cable internet, and the little
rxtx light dont even flicker when it
triest to connect...theres something
majorly wrong with this code (in
xp).
3 stars because its obviously
good code (from what people say) but it
just doesnt work.
|
1/2/2002 9:58:09 AM:Niko Niemi
looks very nice! did it really win a
contest?
|
1/3/2002 5:59:17 AM:Kerplunk_boy
