Shooter (nominated most original game name 2006 and lost)

So this is Shooter. Its the biggest game ive ever made and its not finished. Basically I could finish it but ive done what I wanted todo with it. Its got 2 different type of normal enemies, a boss, some sound effects. The whole caboodle basically. Its kinda fun to play but there is nothing really thats special about it. On the programming/learning side however I learn TONS. The project finished up at about 1500 lines long which may not sound like much but to me its the equivalent to eating 6 or 7 small children, not in a week but IN ONE SITTING. Yes its pretty hardcore and not for the faint of heart. Oh and incase you suddenly think that Ive developed a bit of an artistic edge. None of the art work is my own, its all taken from royalty free sources (some sprite sheet I found lying around somewhere...)

Instructions, Arrow keys to move and space to fire. The floaty p thing is a powerup that increases the power of your gunZ.

Sfcave (if anyone has heard of the original have a cookie)

Before i get a tirade of nasty comments from my faithful readers (the sad thing is that even if I said 'both of them' I would still be overstating my readership). YES! this is a remake of the palm pilot classic, SFcave made by sunflat software. But hey its a good game and someones got to do a remake sometime right? Well I did so a big raspberry to you all (I would use more colourful phraseology but im trying to keep this all U rated).

This is the final in my series of single button games. I learnt alot about them and it was a good laugh trying to think of different ways of playing with the idea of a single button of interaction. There is a good article on gamasutra about it but im too lazy to track it down.

This is definately my most polished game to date. It has sound and nice title and extro screens (ok maybe just a title screen). Its also got some graphical 'flourishes' like text that zooms upwards when you get a bonus. And yes i realise that it looks like the inside of a dogs arse but i dont have a single artistic bone in my body (as you will come to realise).

Javalin Throwing sim

I'm sure everyone has played those annoying flash games where you have to throw the javelin as far as you can (I didn't link to any because they are all a hell of a lot better than mine!). Well as the previous parenthesised comment just alluded to, I have indeed created my own version of this timeless classic. Once again featuring "generic plumber man" and his estranged rocket/spear (wtf is it??) contraption.

I would like to point out that this is without doubt the most buggy piece of rubbish I have ever forced upon the poor inhabitants of this thankless planet. Its not a virus but I reckon even the virus writers would form a collective sharp intake of breath at the sight of this hideous monstrosity. Oh and a lot of the time is doesn't work.

Believe it or not the game play reason for making these was that you could accomplish a lot with just one button. What with all the new controllers having more buttons than a pearly king its nice to limit yourself to something more simple.

So if you are still feeling foolish enough to try it out...

Oh its space bar to do all the associated actions (running, throwing etc).

My First game!

This game is called Super jump brothers. Its the first game that i ever made. Actually to call it a game is a slight misnomer. You press the space bar to make they guy jump over the fences that get faster as you get over more and more. Of special note is the way that when you get to the peak of your jump "Generic plumber man" does a little forward flip. See its attention to the little things that make my games something really special... For anyone that cares this game was written in c using the Allegro games programming library which i might add, is a great tool for begginers and experts alike!

Anyway if you do play it dont hesitate to leave a comment about how shockingly poor it is!
