2012.05.07Warm-up
After spending many weeks without coding any game, always be careful of potential strains. Take the time to warm up before starting serious things.
To exercise, I am going to code a little block game you will have to explode. It's stupid but always fun. I'll try to give a little bit of GamePlay freshness giving gravity control to the player. And may be one or two options will later spice things up.
A little bit of prototyping using Processing to check that the game's core is fun enough before spending more time on the game itself.
The little prototype without score, nor options, nor bling-bling is playable there.- Click on the game to give it focus
- ENTER to add blocks
- Q/A/LEFT to rotate gravity left
- D/RIGHT to rotate gravity right
- Click on a group of blocks of the same color to make them explode
- Your goal is to clear the board
If it's not too rotten after a few more prototypes, I may create a full game from it.
I'd like to adapt it to tablets so you will have to rotate your tablet to rotate the board but I'm afraid it wouldn't really be practical for the player :)
To test.
