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.

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 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5481 MCMayor Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:06:55 GMT Gosu Showcase I'll definitely try to use Relapse as soon as the new version releases.

@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 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5480 Spooner Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:25:56 GMT Gosu Showcase http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5479 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5479 Spooner Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:22:03 GMT Gosu Showcase
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 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5478 Jwosty Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:02:28 GMT Gosu Showcase http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5477 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5477 MCMayor Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:49:19 GMT Gosu Showcase 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]

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 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5418 Spooner Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:08:54 GMT Gosu Showcase

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.

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.

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 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5391 semaperepelitsa Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:16:00 GMT Gosu Showcase http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5390 http://www.libgosu.org/cgi-bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=5390 jlnr Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:26:37 GMT Gosu Showcase

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.
