XMasBeta is released. It''s used using DJGPP + Allegro.
I hope you all like it. Take a look at the screenshot below.
After downloading it, please reply with your computer specs.
So that I know what type of computer it works on.
There is no FPS counter. But just tell if it runs ok.
It runs perfect on my: AMD K6-2 350Mhz, 96Mb.

Damn it. I typed that picture code wrong.
Here is the picture:
There. Hope your happy =)
Hope you like it. And BTW. A BIG "Thank You" Scott Hilbert.
Kirby PC inspired me to make this game.

Yeah. I have the same problem downloading it.
I''m trying to fix the problem for the moment.
Wait a while. And try again.

Well it ran great, (On what computer would 320x240 not run great?) on my PIII 533mhz machine w/ a Voodoo3 3000 z/ 128 mb of ram.
Are you looking for and constructive critisism too? First of I have to say that''s the best snow I''ve seen in a side scroller ever. But maybe that''s just cause I haven''t looked far. But well done on the snow!
However the physics of the guys jump are not even close to real from what I could tell. Learn a bit about acceleration and velocity. Basically gravity has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s so every second your velocity should increase by 9.8 m/s downwards. Anyhow, I figure I won''t explain this unless you ask, but good jumping is important in any SideScroller. Other than that an artist and some objects and enemies and you got yourself a game!
Good work so far!
See ya,
Ben
P.S. If you want some good physics explanation about jumping I could try to explain it all to you if you e-mail me, otherwise good luck in finding the stuff you need!!

Not bad, it runs fine for me on my AMD K5 166, 32Mb Ram, 4 Mb Daytona SiS 6232 video card.
Only one comment, Santa''s jump animation is a little jerky and when he''s walking he looks more like he''s doing the Michael Jackson Moonwalk thing.
Nice work.

Thank you. I''m do glad you liked it
About the jumping. I know it''s not completely right.
But it will do for now. I still think it works in the right way.
I use this formel: StartPower*Time -(Gravitation*(Time*Time))/2
But the gravitation in my game is set to about 11.
I know that''s not right. But as I said, it will have to do for
now.
Every game I''ve done have allways been left at half. I don''t want that to happend with this game.
But what did you(And everyone else) think about one thing:
- Doesn''t the game put you in a good mood?
I think so.
BTW. About the snow. I''m an expert on snow because I live in Finland
