Health and Kills readout.

Messed a bit with monster generation and monster behaviour.

You can't die yet though. But you do take damage.

thats gay

Nice done Ricky 

The player is now the Quake guy instead of a stick man.

You can Die!

Tuned the monster behaviour a bit more

Added player firing/non-firing frames

Began externalising data into separate .js files (the beginning of a level-loading system)

Best score is 210.

Known Issue: By the time the 'you are dead' message appears, the score is cleared from the screen.

this is getting to be pretty cool :) 

They jump. They chase.

They do no damage (yet).

JS is a lot faster than I had feared. 

Are you following a tutorial or taking a course? This is pretty nice! 

Means a lot. :)

I've just finished the first year of a part-time foundation degree in Computer Science. I've done a module in C++, for which I created Minesweeper, and my Minesweeper worked pretty well. Realised a lot of stuff.
'Off the back of that' I created an XML/PHP CMS/directory for a Web Applications module, if you want to have a giggle it's at http://rickyt32.com/CRD_FINAL/ - none of the places are real. And it's very hackable I'm sure.
I've also been using a bit of JQuery for work stuff, so Javascript seemed like a good idea :).

I found one good video on getting started with HTML5 canvas, and used a blog page to figure out how to do object stuff in JS. The rest is all me :) Which is probably why it's terribly inefficient I'm sure, and there are lettle to no comments in my code XD

The vid I found for canvas:

The guy has a thick Scottish accent (though I speak fuent Scottish ;), and the links are dead, but it really helped me nonetheless.

(the one in #22 has a typo) 

Nice!

But unfortunately I can't find a larger version of the image. 223x600 is the largest :( And Quakeguy is a bit too small :D

'Cause it is a bit of a pain to make the sprites. 

More Quake textures :)

Improved Fiends (now they have a slashing anim)

Bullets pointing backwards, er, point backwards.

Some new GFXs.

This one has killable, fightable fiends.

Also has corpse-stay for dead fiends. 

bed..... 

Added blood particles!!!

Minor fixes when restarting after death:

Those flying monsters are genius :p


Here's what I've been working on btw, still not quite ready to put up something playable just yet...

Heh - this is my first Javascript project. And really it's the first decent attempt I have made towards coding an action game. Seeing your game made me feel inadequate ;) Still I'm a total n00b to coding sop I shouldn't worry too much I guess....

So are you using Flash CS5 to make it, and Actionscript?

BTW - my first attempt at collision (you can jump on crates - a bit rocky still but functional):

http://rickyt23.com/dudeGame14/ 

I'm using the Flex SDK and FlashDevelop, a free IDE for it. I don't actually own Flash CS5 itself, which is the reason other than performance that I'm not using Flash vector graphics. :) 

And yeah it's all Actionscript, levels are stored as XML. 

And just Javascript. No framework :P

I'm using the context2D library to draw stuff onto a canvas. I'm not using any of the built in effects for HTML5 canvas, I don't know how much faster it is, but I think it's got to be faster than doing what I am doing - using .pngs with transparency for everything. I couldn't get negative scaling to work either so I have had to make separate images for everything facing left and right.

I get the idea of control loops and everything, but it startles me how many iterations I can carry out per frame. I'm sure if I were better at abstraction it would be a lot more efficient. But ATM the blood particle array is uncapped, and it doesn't seem to give any major slowdown. And the more features I add, stuff like collision detection and damage detection, and rendering two different types of animated monster, it hasn't missed a beat yet.

Firebug seems to slow down sometimes, but I'm not sure that that ism't more the fault of Firebug itself. I only ever use Firebug when I get an error, just in the hope of seeing the error message. 

No lame monsters on the first life (intentional - nice to see it with just Quake GFX)

5:00am - bad. bed.....

And they bleed

http://rickyt23.com/dudeGame16/ 

And because I was experimenting an forgot about it until just now, this version is running at 40FPS instead of 30. 00ps! 

Heh. Doesn't work too well on my phone :-) 

Is it performance or input that is the problem?

Or both? 

Both of both, the canvas is very flickery for some reason, but yeah input is a more severe issue. Android 4 fwiw.
