Starcatcher and the lost cities of gold!
Okay but seriously. I finally got around to working on starcatcher again. I added two new types of drifting stars. I got rid of any mouse related support. So now just arrow keys to move. (up/down thrust left/right rotate) – I also enhanced the star graphics a bit. Although they probably won’t even look like this when done (or maybe they will it all just depends). In any case. the small stars are faster and give you more points, however they give you less energy. If you wish to go for the high score go after these. The medium stars probably look bigger than the big stars, however the medium ones (sort of look like a fat plus sign) are slower than small, faster than large, and offer you less point than the small and more than the large ones. The large ones are the ones that look like the medium ones, you can tell them by the fact that they appear to be more “round” than the other two stars… umm don’t know how to say it, you can play it and find out. Note that the larger the star, the more energy it gives you, but the less points. I’m mostly looking to see if there’s any way of improving the gameplay as is… i want to tighten it before adding black holes and super novas (which will probably be pretty nasty ;-)
Anyhoo here’s the screenie, and you can download the program by clicking on it. As usual, even though I try to make sure my system is clean of viruses you should always scan everything you download.
thanks.
