Jumper: a quick Leadwerks 3 game

[AggrorJorn]

A quick game example made in Leadwerks 3. Contains some bugs but prototype works.

 

 

# 0.2

- Animation blending

- smoother animation due to latest LE3 update

Nice

 

152.6 my length score

Fun for a simple game. Have yet to beat shadmar for score.

I couldn't get past 168 ..the most amusing part about that is ... I got the 168 within the first 5min ...after that I tried for 30 min but could never get past 168

i am not sure but this is not working well for me.

 

I can press Space as often as i want and it does not jump. Then sometimes but very rarely it jumps.

 

He is moving soo slow that it can´t even jump over the first gap.

 

 

When i move the window the game stops. But as soon as i release the window it runs so fast i nearly get teleported forward and i already hit shadmars highscore with this trick even when i was not even able to jump over the first gap.

 

Maybe the run forward script is running even when everything else get paused?

 

I know this is just a prototype so please don´t get it wrong please.

 

Edit:

just to be sure. My PC is not too slow.

i have a Geforce GTX 680 and the animation and everything runs smooth as it should.

The Character is just walking very slow.

Just scored 240, I was in the Zone.

Not at all, thank you for the feedback. The character jumps sporadicly really high for some reason. I will add some tweaks and code to see if it stabilizes.

 

You can debug physics by pressing P.

Since the app loop and physics updates don't necessarily line up 100%, sometimes your jumps may be skipped. I have a way to fix that though.

[beo6]

Maybe it is better to fetch user-input inside UpdateWorld then?

 

For what is UpdatePhysics usable anyway? Will it be called independendly of the PC framerate?

[Josh]

Try compiling it now with the latest library. I think that weird jumping behavior will be gone.

[AggrorJorn]

I will try this tomorrow. I don;t have the project on my laptop.

 

Right now I am using the character input in a Physics Hook instead of the normal main loop. Both give me the same effect.

[AggrorJorn]

I have added a new executable to the first post. At my computer it is easier to get a higher highscore now.

 

 

- Since the new LE3 update animation is a lot more fluid. Also the weird jumping is no longer taking place at my computer.

- Animation blending added.

- Character sometime still has jittery movement.

Cool! 149.10

I think it's very nice and unexpected what people can come up with when giving them a certain set of tools. I bet even Josh feels surprised seeing what people are developing a few weeks away from releasing Leadwerks 3. I love the excitement feeling generated in the community with this new release; it feels like it's adapting nicely to the new perspectives raised. It even feels more active than with LE2 (or is it only me?)

[LEFans]

Excellent.

Click the Enter key to start the game, you should call a FlushKeys () function.

[beo6]

Looks nice.

But i have still issues.

 

Jumping works without any problem (i am not @home so i can´t try it on my normal PC where i tested it before)

 

But the character is still running very slow so that i can not make the third jump.

 

 

//Edit: since i am back from Droidcon i tested it on my desktop PC.

It works exactly the same as on my Notebook.

I wonder why it is working for some people correctly. It can´t be from the graphiccard. My Notebook uses an AMD card where my Desktop PC uses an NVIDIA.

 

But i made an test and enabled the vertical synchronisation which immediately made the game playable.

So there must be an issue with the Framerate i think.
