THE NEW COMMUNITY FANGAME PROJECT!, July 18: HiPriority!|DEADLINE: Sun 7-27!

I would like to design the engine.

Made the bat/bar have different shapes

:O

kthxphage

I'm probably done for today.

Looking good.

I'm throwing together a base for the engine right now.

I'm using GM6

edit: okay, it's after midnight, so I just threw some D&D in there since I'm tired and figured I better post something before I go to bed.

please place all the code for the bricks in the "obj_brick" object and leave the rest blank

GUYS GUYS!
I have already said:
I MADE THE FRIGGIN ENGINE ALREADY. READ THE FIRST POST, DAMMIT!


Also the screenshot is taken FROM my engine, so you have a pattern of how big the ball, bricks and bat should be.
Bricks: 16x8
Ball: 9x9
Bat: 64x8


I'm sorry if that was unclear, but still, it would have been pretty obvious if you had read the first post carefully.



Other than that: I love xn--e5x's midis and Flamedragon made the only suitable bricks so far.
I like your enthusiasm, but it is un-organized. If you don't listen to instructions, the new CFP will fail like the last one.

Also I have not seen a single claim on the sprites you made, you just made them and threw them in. For what did I write rules?

Guinea, this is a community project. I would strongly advise that if you've already made an engine, please share it with the rest of the class.

It is not yet ready to be released. This is also stated in the first post.
I will give it to you guys TODAY.

ENGINE IS UPLOADED.
GET IN THE FIRST POST AND READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING.
If you upload an engine that did not follow the instructions, I will remove the attachment.

Guinea, I read your first post, but I found it illogical for you to make the engine if this is a CFP, not an "Ill do the most important part of the game myself while you guys just make the minor stuff" project. I wont be angry if we use your engine, but Ive started an engine of my own for this (Maybe, actually, we could compare and let the Community decide what engine should be used. That would be nice) But whatever. If your going to make the engine in the CFP2, them Ill just sprite

We have seen that engine making is the biggest problem of the community in the last CFP.
This is why I decided to make a basic engine that is easily customizable for everyone.
If you are an advanced programmer you can edit it to your liking, if you are not so advanced, you can still add bricks and other things to it.
Also I've said from the beginning that I have already made an engine, so why did you make an engine yourself? Oh did you not read the first post? Maybe that's why.

The old CFP failed. Why do you think it would be a good idea to make the new one the same way as the old one, with everyone throwing out engines that nobody can work with?

Sorry if I sound harsh though. I just want you guys to listen to simple instructions, because that's what "organizing" means. Otherwise it would be chaos and we don't want that, do we?

With that statement i assume that the person who makes the engine does not add the resources in the game.

No, we dont want that. The reason I made an engine was so that I could present what would be some good things to have in the warm up. I wouldnt have done this if you had relased the engine earlier, which you were incapable of doing because it was in complete. I will still upload the exe so that you can see how I think we could make this game better.

BTW here it is

-Sorry, Doublepost

dweevil, that exe is apparently not a valid executable.
Beware however: If you attached an edittable, I had to remove it, to avoid confusion. Because to date, the engine we use is the one I uploaded in the first post. An exe is ok, though.

Basically it's like this:

If you want to work on the engine (or the levels, basically everything that has to do with the gm6 file), you have to download the latest version of the engine from the first post.
Then you follow the instructions that you will also find in said first post (and that you should have read already).

You can also make ressources, you're not limitted to anything, just to following the instructions given by me, Dex or Tri.

As for the REAL CFP, I have thought about what Titan Dweevil said above.
For the CFP, everyone who thinks of himself as a good engine maker will make basic engines for it and we will decide which one to use as a base.
(However, don't start on a CFP engine yet, as we don't know what we will actually do.)
But for the warm-up, I'd like you to use mine, ok?

Fixed The Link above. L vs Kaiba Lol (Exe)

The engine looks simple.I might see what i can do with it later today.

What about my question/suggestion?

Basically the sounds from MMF would be ok I guess.
xn-e5x has already started on some midis to use, so I suppose you listen to them and find/make something in a similar style for a good library of music.
