Summoning of the Sword

This is a game I've been working on for about 6 weeks for a national competition.
Source is on ge.tt, along with a Windows Installer for the Windows users among us.
Have fun!

It features 3 new levels, none of which use the flutter or ring abilities.
Level 1 (bowser's castle) features some lighting effects which may lag older computers. These use Image::draw_as_quad with a different color at each point. Do you think an OpenGL version of the same thing would run faster?
If any of the levels are too hard, I will consider adding the flutter ability. Or maybe just making them easier. Please list any parts that gave you trouble; this isn't supposed to be crazy hard.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5482 Spooner 2012-01-22T04:32:13Z 2012-01-22T04:32:13Z 5

# then you can do
@img = Image.new $window, image_path("frog.png")

As I strongly recommended to move to Ruby 1.9.3 for performance, that uses require_relative so that is fine for requiring. If you need 1.8.7 compatibility, then make sure you do something like:
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path("../../", __FILE__)
and then all require paths will be relative to that directory.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5481 MCMayor 2012-01-22T04:06:55Z 2012-01-22T04:06:55Z 5 I'll definitely try to use Relapse as soon as the new version releases. As it is it could use a guide.
@paths: newbie question: is this best accomplished by storing the directory somewhere (aka "Dir = File.dirname __FILE__") and appending it to every file name, or is there a way to tell Ruby to always do things relative to the program directory?]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5480 Spooner 2012-01-22T01:25:56Z 2012-01-22T01:25:56Z 5 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5479 Spooner 2012-01-22T01:22:03Z 2012-01-22T01:27:06Z 5
Regarding Ruby gem dependencies, using the Bundler gem is a big boon, and I would highly recommend it to ensure the user can easily run exactly the same gems as you used to develop it.

When using Ocra, you should specify --windows so that it doesn't open a console window when the executable runs.  I'd also recommend you build the exe with Ruby 1.9.3 since it is a lot faster to start up than 1.9.2 and a lot faster to run than 1.8.7 (both matter when making games :D). If you do that, you need to manage paths a bit better, by always using file-relative paths, rather than working-directory-relative paths, since, for example, running "clone4\clone4.exe" won't work.

I'm about to release Relapse v0.2.0, which will make building and releasing executables more idiot-proof and give people more options.

Oh, I had a look at the game too! Feels nice, though I couldn't work out how grabbing and double-jumping worked :$ Good work!]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5478 Jwosty 2012-01-22T00:02:28Z 2012-01-22T00:02:28Z 12 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5477 MCMayor 2012-01-21T19:49:19Z 2012-02-01T19:01:11Z 5 download here

My first Ruby project. It uses both Gosu and RubySDL. If you're on Windows instructions are provided, otherwise you'll have to figure out how to get RubySDL from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1006, which shouldn't be too hard.
I'd like to package executables for both Mac and Linux in the future, or at least something to automatically install dependencies. Pointers would be appreciated!

The game supposedly supports controllers. I've got it to work on an xbox 360 controller, please list anything else it does/does not work with.
There is a section of clone04.rb saying:
AButtons = [Gosu::KbSpace, Gosu::GpButton1]
BButtons = [Gosu::KbZ, Gosu::GpButton0]
CButtons = [Gosu::KbLeftShift, Gosu::KbRightShift, Gosu::GpButton4, Gosu::GpButton5, Gosu::GpButton6]
PauseButtons =[Gosu::KbEnter, Gosu::GpButton7]
so it should be easy to edit.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5473 chase4926 2012-01-20T20:20:29Z 2012-01-20T20:20:29Z 5 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5471 Maverick 2012-01-17T15:27:01Z 2012-01-17T15:27:01Z 12

The background is drawn first no matter what so I'm not worried about Z-order problems with it.

The shadows, as I've said help you see the smaller people as they run behind the backgrounds and such. That's not a glitch.

The only "glitches" are with the occasional battle with objects having similar Z-orders. Also, I just got lazy with particles.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5418 Spooner 2011-12-28T21:08:54Z 2011-12-28T21:08:54Z 12

The particles I just got lazy and didn't apply z-ordering.

The Z-ordering problems I've only had happen occasionally. But with my limited Ruby knowledge I just hacked it together. If you look at the code and know how to fix it, go right ahead and let me know what to change.

As far as windows port goes, I'll get to it in a bit.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5415 jlnr 2011-12-28T01:37:51Z 2011-12-28T01:37:51Z 12 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5414 jlnr 2011-12-28T01:37:16Z 2011-12-28T01:37:16Z 12 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5410 Spooner 2011-12-27T15:13:23Z 2011-12-27T15:13:23Z 12 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5409 Maverick 2011-12-27T07:16:36Z 2011-12-27T07:16:36Z 12
Overall it's a silly game (which is also why the music was half-assed). But enjoy nonetheless!

Like all misunderstood extinct-now-living dinosaurs, Rex here wants to make a good first-impression on the Big City.

Goal:
Rack up enough dino-points by destroying everything that moves.
Don't go too far out of view!
The military will try and stop you.

Controls:
Arrow keys: move
Space Bar: Chomp (to destroy) -> You must be standing in front of and facing an object to do this. Notice the shadows.

Downloads

* Added two new tracks from KanonBaum (Brian Peppers).
* Can now choose length of game (30s, 60s, 90s, etc), rather than being limited to the track length.
* Read track length from .ogg file (yeah, asking the user to enter it manually was dumb!).
* Prevented user from adding multiple copies of the same track to their tracklist.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5393 Spooner 2011-12-22T23:20:25Z 2011-12-22T23:20:25Z 32 Alpha Channel v1.4.0

Sorry about the last release, a dumb error made it not work on native Linux (but it did work on my Linux VM, so I didn't notice the problem).

download

* Settings and high scores now stored in ~/.alpha_channel_spooner
* Added Easy/Normal/Hard difficulties (‘Normal’ is a bit easier than previous; ‘Hard’ is a bit harder)
* Top 20 global scores are recorded and can be viewed ingame and online: http://www.gamercv.com/gamers/9-spooner
* Top 20 of your own scores, ignoring global scores, are stored locally (so you don’t have to compete with people with reflexes).
* Pixel glow shrinks as a pixel is wounded, as well as some other minor tweaks.
* Made the game entirely independent of frames per second, so it can be played on older hardware.
* Fixed: Mistyped filename meant previous version wouldn’t work on Linux :(
* Fixed: Physics messy when window is dragged while playing.]]> http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5391 semaperepelitsa 2011-12-22T18:16:00Z 2011-12-22T18:16:00Z 6 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5390 jlnr 2011-12-22T17:26:37Z 2011-12-22T17:26:37Z 6

Something technical while any of you happy hackers might still be fixing your entry:

Depending on which DLL Windows decides to use for Ruby/Gosu's OpenAL playback, you can get a segfault on exit, or a hanging process. The easiest known workaround is to use Process.exit instead of Window#close until I fix Gosu to insist on the right (modified) DLL.
