Fun, and very challenging! Although there's a couple of flaws I noticed:
- The window is title "Window name"
- It's not clear that you're supposed to press space to start the game

This is pretty fun. I like the tunes and the look, and its pretty dang challenging. Feels good to figure out what the next phase is going to be and adapt on the next attempt.

Fun and difficult game! Also fits the theme well.

@zerbu Oops. I forgot to set the window title once I chose a title for the game.

Do you know why my computer reconize the game as a virus when I download the game ?

@fullsaphir It's pretty common, as I didn't use any engine and I didn't sign the executable (or submit it to Microsoft for review). You can scan it with your anti-virus if you want to be sure it's safe. If you get the blue window from Windows smart screen, you can still execute it (if you think it's safe, and you're right not just trusting the executable) by clicking on "More information" than "Execute". The full source code is also available if you want to check that.

Windows won't let me play it, even after choosing to "run anyway" :(

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Neat little game. I can't finish it to save my life but I enjoyed trying. Music is nice and enjoyable on multiple listens, controls do what they're supposed to and graphics are simple, but clear.

That was fun, and quite the challenge. I felt a little input lag but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

@walaber I'm sorry about that.

Here is a test build with some things disabled (Gameinput and asserts disabled, nothing changes for the game). Gameinput (the new API from Microsoft to handle controllers) may not be present on your computer, or some issues with the shaders might be causing a crash. If it still doesn't work, could you look if there is a log.txt file next to the executable ? Are there error messages near the end of the file ? Which version of Windows are you using, and which graphics card (OpenGL 3.3 is required but that should be supported for any card in the last 15 years) ?

Chanllenging and funny!I can really feel the tense when the space is getting limited.I enjoyed it.

Hey, this game is fun! Graphics remind me of the asteroids, which I used to play when I was younger! One issue I had with the game was that the audio was super loud, like a constant hum that wouldn't end. I fixed this by deleting the sound effects which were packaged with the game.

@sso I'm sorry about the audio issue. It's the first game I publish with the audio system and I may have messed up something. I most likely won't be able to fix it, but does your audio set up has something special (pro sound card, virtual soundcard... ) ?

@maximevincent A friend also reported some lag, but his issue was with lag for the audio when you change direction (which is trigger when a key is pressed so it might just be input lag). What's your PC specs (any pc should be able to run it, but there might be an issue with high end PCs) ? What's your monitor refresh rate ? My friend has a RTX 3080 on Windows 11.

Good use of the theme, I like how challenging it was. Reminds me of old school arcade style games

It's good and fun ! I can't manage to beat it though, i have to git gud. Nice take on the theme.

One suggestion could be that i think the games accelerate too much too quickly. Not that memorizing the pattern is a problem, it's just that it is frustrating that it speeds up instantly.

Still, it's enjoyable, great work !

Really neat game. Difficulty really ramps up after the countdown hits around 20 but I really like that. Nice sounds and minimalistic graphics, great game overall.

Very fun game! Nice and fitting music! I like how the music ramps up as the levels get harder and the length is the same as the whole game. It was quite a bit challenging, but was nothing too hard when I mastered the "Rapid A/D Taps" skill :D

Really interesting idea, good job! The music is really good too

simple game, simple happy. great work!

good idea, but too depend on memory

simplistic, minimalistic and super challenging, awesome nostalgic music, really great game feel and mood

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Simple, polished, smooth, and a big challenge. This got me hooked for a while. Really like the simple look of the game. The gameplay was smooth although it is quite strange that the horizontal movement is way faster than the vertical movement. That caught me off guard a couple of times.

Great effort :smile:

@bredera Speed should be the same in any direction. But I didn't handle resizing the window, so if you resized it, the speed might have been wrong. The window should stay squared to keep the same speed.

@thebmxeur Ah that explains it. I resized it to fit my screen. Good to know :smile:

The old school rules. Simple and ingenious. I liked.

simple but fun.
Agreed on the old school feel :)

Really good - really hard. I love this little game which is well done. Controls work well as expected - and the minimalist aesthetic, the music too, are gorgeous. Movements are smooth. The main gameplay is clever and fits with the theme. I took a look at your code. Obviously you masterize C. Thank you for this lesson on how to create a good game without any dependencies (except the minimal OpenGL). One of my favorite entries. I wish you the best ++

Fun hardcore game, you made sure to show that you can warp around which is needed later. If you resize the window the graphics are stretched.

Did you write the “lib” folder yourself? Using such a library is worth kudos, but you deserve even more kudos if you also wrote that.

@sentmoraap I wrote the libs except for stb_truetype.h, stb_rect_pack.h, ps_rawinput.h and glcorearb.h. The floating_point_to_decimal.h is a port in C of the reference C++ implementation of the dragonbox algorithm (I wrote the port).

Old school hardcore, well done, addictive!

I downloaded it, but after unzipping the executable file I click but it doesn't open. Aui is windows 7

@lincolnsalles I'm using some API's from Windows 10 (not specifically for this game, but it's part of my codebase) so the game won't run on Windows 7. Sorry about that. Maybe this version will work: https://www.sisyphe.be/ld48/54/lines_test.zip
It's the same but without Microsoft Gameinput API which requires Windows 10 19H1 (May 2019 update) or newer. But I'm probably using other API's not available on Windows 7.

I downloaded this one but it didn't work either, but I confess that Windows 7 is already becoming intolerable lol
