Fastest I've ever made a game.
| EDIT: I'm a serious procrastinator and a master at it. I swear if you gave me an hour to do something I would do 5% of it in the first 50 minutes and browse web... the rest in the last 10 minutes. I guess creativity flies when you have a time limit. |
Rofl. I do that all the time. If I get stuck somewhere I automatically switch to my web browser...
| Umm, OP. Did your game actually have graphics in it or all console? |
Graphics.
If you look a ways down the page you'll see a screencap.
I have a game in infinite development:

Not the best game but I like the Chipmunk physics system. I still can't get Box2D to handle angular velocities the way I like, so I've stuck with Chipmunk for this game.

I made a really bad frogger game in about an hour using visual basic when i was 16. my programming started at the late age of 16 due to no computer in the household up till that point. back then it was rare for every household to have a computer. basically loading images in visual basic is very fast and easy using common controls. you could load an image with like 1 line. then it was just a matter of moving the items using a timer and some ultra basic collision. it actually worked though but had no sound. maybe some wouldnt qualify it as a game with no sound but i was pretty impressed with myself at the time. these days i realize the accomplishment wasnt very much.
when i think back about the programs i made in visual basic almost all of them were 90% windows api calls. In fact to be honest i dont remember basic having all the class librarys or the basic equivelent available like i do with c++. maybe they were there but my programming understanding wasnt up to par. oh well. Ive washed my hands free of basic anyway.

But I guess you got a load of dangerous extra files you didn't want, which you won't be able to delete for thousands of years...

I agree, that was an epic game! I think some improved graphics would vastly improve the overall gameplay. And perhaps some animations and options? Haha, that and the other ... chips adventures or something like that?
You're thinking of Chip's Challenge, done by Chuck Sommerville of Epyx (speaking of fast games, that game was done start to finish in ten weeks, and that's a loooong game). And yes, that game was thoroughly excellent; my second favorite ever, and I keep my Windows 98 NEC around just to play it.
Rodent's Revenge is fun too.

2 minutes.
All the program did was cout in a console windows:
"You have lost the game."
And didn't let the user exit, cuz if you hear about the game you lose the game, lawl.
Naw I'm just kidding.

About 8 hours total. A snake game. My first ever. I am pretty proud of myself.
btw, nice looking rpg Xander333.

| The objectived of the game was to play in my presence so I can see you're expression when you realize you've been trolled. ico |
