Meteor Strike - My first game!

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Dawgles/1950859

Meteors plummet towards the moon, almost surely hindering the progress of the moon mission to find life. Good thing they fit the robot with laser cannons!

Press left and right to move and space to shoot at the meteors before they destroy the ground beneath you!

This is my first game with this and it's 100% an experiment so don't be too harsh.  smile

Re: Meteor Strike - My first game!

Any ideas on what I should do next? I'm going to make another game tomorrow I think.

Re: Meteor Strike - My first game!

How about a platformer? Those are always fun.

Re: Meteor Strike - My first game!

I could try that. Do you have any platformers I can look at to see how the code works?

Read the description.
It's a basic platformer, later if you have a question like how to make it go to the next level, I can add it, explain it or I can add commentary on the project  tongue

Re: Meteor Strike - My first game!

This is a really good game. I don't think I could make something like that.

It's very realistic and the story fits pretty well. Everything is drawn nicely, and it's a fun game!

GOOD JOB!

Re: Meteor Strike - My first game!

Thanks, but the jumping in that seems weird. Is there any way to make jumping like in real life?

Re: Meteor Strike - My first game!

That one's awesome! I won't use it 1/1 but I'll certainly use the coding concepts (it's so floaty). Thanks veggieman!

You are a man named... Dawg. (xD)
You were playing baseball, but you hit the baseball too far.
YOU MUST FIND THE BALL IN THIS EPIC PLATFORMER
Yes, this idea is based on a true story  tongue
I never did find that ball u.u

big_smile  That's good. Oh, and by the way, I'd recommend lowering the jump of the platformer.

I know right? For a first game? It's epic  big_smile
Dawgles, keep up the good work and one day you'll be one of the best programmers in scratch. Well, especially now, considering almost all the good ones left  tongue
Now almost everybody's posting cats or posting in miscellaneous e.e
