Wow, I’m pooped. XNA was like really weird. Please, enjoy! You might need a decent system to run this. It uses version 2.0 vertex and pixel shaders. Meow =^.^=

Paramecium is a monocellular love story, in which the protagonist (you) must collect food vacuoles in order to replicate. You play on a team versus an a.i. opponent, and the first to collect enough vacuoles to replicate 25 times wins the round. Some of the game’s parameters are randomized at the start of each round, so it’s quite replayable.
Features artsy graphics, intuitive mouse control, and a looping ambient soundtrack.

It’s incomplete, but I’m uploading it anyway. It’s playable. Here’s a screenshot.
Please check the README.txt before playing.
Phew. I’m not very happy with my results on this LD48, but at least I uploaded something. Maybe next time I’ll do better…

I will post a py2exe’d version soon.

Here’s my final entry for LudumDare 10:
This was my first LudumDare and I’m disappointed that I did not finish, but on the other hand I guess I’m also kinda surprised I got as far as I did. Most of the game logic and art is finished, but I didn’t have enough time left to add gameplay and polish stuff like a menu and highscore list. It is possible to run the game to see the artwork and play with the logic a bit (see doc/README for details).
My biggest mistake was spending 9 hours on trying to get A* graph search working (especially with about 2 years gone since the last time I touched that kind of stuff). Should have given up on that path and re-designed after 3 hours instead of 9 – then I might have had a playable entry.
I did learn a lot (and I am going to learn a lot in the coming weeks as I work to finish this game and to improve my library to make things easier for next time). It was fun in spite of the setback.
Here’s a screenshot from just before I started packaging it up for release:

Space Chaos is a fairly standard space shooter, but with extra explosions, featuring 3 types of enemies and two deadly weapons.
Download – binaries for windows and linux + source.
imba game nice done sam!I’m done. Final post here.
The game’s name is Catalyst, as the game revolves around triggering a nuclear war. There’s not much to it. Its very basic – just a 2-player human vs human mode. Not to mention the fact that the gameplay is very broken – its easy to get into stupid stalemate scenarios and so on and most of the time feels pointless. BUT the nuke explosions are pretty! Wahey!
The chain reaction part of the game is the way that missile attacks trigger off counter-attacks against other nations who then attack other nations etc etc.

Here’s my final screenshot:
And here’s a link to download the game, complete with source:

Executable here and source here… wordpress didn’t like my .zip files. Not very complete, or fun, but you can kill enemies or lose. And you have a chain, which grows longer, and enemies react to it ^_^. Maybe I’ll have something good next time.
Edit: I used SFML, mainly for timing, random numbers and the OpenGL rendering window. All the graphics are drawn with opengl lines.

Whew gotta get this in!
3 level rushed release =/ more levels later!
found some free file hosting in the last minute, here’s the file:

(Thanks Jach for offering ftp space)
more to come later, probably my next free day: Wednesday.
Edit: If the game gives an error message like “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.”, you may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package, which can be downloaded from:

Unfortunately, I didn’t have as much time as I had hoped today, so I wasn’t able to finish the game. However, it is partly playable, so I’m sending it in anyway.

(The source uses a modified version of TileMap.bmx, which I made last year and published on the Blitz site as a tutorial).

Inspiration for this game was this blog post, which somewhat explains the name.
The idea in the game is that you’re a casual games’ level designer and it’s your job to create levels for the game, in which the players can get the maximum score without really doing anything. Because the truth is that’s what most commercially successful casual games are like. Big rewards with minimum input from the player.

Drag the pieces around and click start. The colors will be destroyed as they touch each other. Try to go for the big multiple chains.

It’s done and you can get it here. It may not work if you don’t have visual studio 2005 installed. If thats the case I’ll try and upload a working one asap.

First Ludum Dare entry! Whew… tiring.
Move using the arrow keys, X drops bombs, Z fires your gun. Avoid the aliens. Killing one will set of a chain reaction of bodily explosions!

I wasn’t able to fully finish the game in time. I finally got an idea I liked on Saturday, after scrapping 3 others. Unfortunately, I spent too much time messing with graphics and AI and such and not actual gameplay. Case in point:
That took… a long, long time.
Anyway, at about 2 hours until deadline, I finally got the gameplay implemented, tested it… and it wasn’t fun.
So I bit the bullet and threw all the gameplay out except for these gluttons, which seemed to be the one thing that had potential. I managed to get health and a basic hud in during the last 10 minutes, but didn’t get scoring or menus or anything.
This is actually the first game I’ve ever released, and I’d never used Ruby or Gosu before for development, so I’m pretty happy with how it turned out even so.

The game is finally done, and just in time. I made some basic instructions when starting the game. I am sure everyone can figure out what each crate is and where to land for fuel xD. I dont know if this game will be fitting the theme very well, but I never programed in python and this is my first time using a physics library. Considering everything, I think the game is not bad. Hope whoever plays it has fun.
The game requires python 2.5, pygame, pyopengl, pyode. I will make a binary later on, but for now this is my final entry.

My humble entry: Vector Chain Attack! (pygame source 191kb)
I think only pygame is needed to play the game. Will try to make a py2exe executable too. Samiljan made one for me, can be found here (6.9mb).
Move about with ASWD, and shoot with the mouse. Hit the blue chain bits to start a chain reaction, or the red bits to whittle down the chain little by little.
Lots for me to learn this time, as I did not have much experience with Python or pygame before the competition.
I spent quite a few hours making my first music track too, so I hope you enjoy the SNES style music (the full 13 seconds of it!). Had lots of fun making it with DrPetters Musagi tracker. Before you go mad, press M to make it stop.

I know this post is after the deadline, but here’s the Windows version of my game. I hope it’s ok. See my other post for the Python source (the one with the final tag). Decided to post a new one instead of editing the other post to not risk losing any timestamps there…
Well, I ran out of time. =) This is not even the gameplay that I intended and it is not playable (unless you like to lose). I spent too much bloody time on collisions and missile trajectories, etc.. The “daleks” that you see in the screenshot were going to be gun turrets which you use to shoot down incoming missiles. If enough missiles hit the ground, the ground is destroyed and your tower plummets. I had other buildings and a point to the whole thing, but those were plans that had to be thrown out. 😉 I think with another hour to two hours, this could actually be playable, though not polished. My greatest regret is that I did not get a chance to rotate the missiles so that they point in their direction of travel.
Here is the zip. Download and run at your own boredom.
python source (64K) Needs pygame and pyopengl.
Edit: Uploaded new version with a .bat file that uses CRLF terminators.
Edit 2: Uploaded a non-zero length archive (for ‘archival’ purposes now that judging and whatnot is over). Not really sure how that happened in the first place.
Hmnn.. my ftp server is down ): Anyone keep to upload it somewhere for me? jwwhite at gmail dot com.
anyone else able to open it?
