source code,.s
I realeased a .ZGEproj file here;
viewtopic.php?t=102
for a simple game, Space Fortress Z, to show what i"m doing,. to get different effects just tweek that values till you find what you nee,d. Ville's examples are very helpfull to me,. as he knows how to work his editor best,. I still haven't waded through then all,. that is likely why i ask silly questions,.
the larger the file the more work it is to find stuff anyhow,. if there is something specific ask about that,.

UPDATED! - iteration 038
Ok,. an update! now with the new ZGE res. selection,. and my bitmap font too so it is readable under any rez as well,. . I cut out some of the effects,. and changed some stuff a bit,. less messy but still quite a lovely mess!
oh,. and now if you win there is a proper winning screen,. and some bonus particle shows,. at least I hope so I have not been able to beat it,. I also changed the ships contorls to velocity instead of direct movements,. so it should work better if you have v-sink off,. could anyone test that for me? I still cant get that to work on my card,. . cheers!

it has a bit of stratagy to it!
If you shoot nothing, nothing comes at you,. except to slow march of the pixels,. if you shoot constantly you will bring down many pixels,. if you do NOT convert them to green POWs then they will re-spawn on top, and come at you as SWOOERS!
So the stratagy is to shoot, . but not too much ,. while converting Pixels to POWs and try not to let many get past you, so as to avoid an over flow or SWOOERS swiping at you!,. it is not a mindless shooter.
Ville - ah! I thought you added that,. I will do that next update,. !

OK,. I really think I am done with this,. for now. lol
I added more explanation text to say what I said in the above reply,.
I re-worked some of the physics to make the Pixles you shoot fly back up the sceen a bit more. This makes the game a bit easier, I think(?). Perhaps too easy now,. but it is more win-able than before,. The basis of the game's difficulty is simple human nature,. ppl tend to just blast the hell out of everything,. and in this game, if you do that, and miss a lot of falling stuff, you are only makeing the game more difficult on yourself,. in this way there is a bit of a lesson in the game design; Use restraint, skill, and some stategy, or you will be overwelmed.
added a new sound when stuff falls of the bottom of the screen,. and tweeked the visules a bit too,. also the required .txt file, for the level layout, in now inbedded into the single file,. much better.
peace.
