Y.A.R! - Yet Another Runner! (better known as my first project)

Post by ken.athomos »

Good day everyone and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

I've finally finished my first project. This is just a basic endless runner. This isn't really developed to be jaw dropping or the like. This is mostly an "I need to prove to myself that I can do this project" and I would like to share my feelings of fulfillment to everyone else.

I personally want this to serve as a "case study" of some sort for new LOVERS such as myself especially for those who want to study code for Endless Runners. HOWEVER please do not follow the way I coded because I know for a fact that my code isn't optimal nor is it the best example.

As much as possible please do not use the art that I've used. It's not because I made them. It's more of they weren't done really well and I'm embarrassed about it XD

Controls:

Tips on the Game: You don't have to wait to reach the maximum jump height to dash.

EDIT: Constructive criticism is appreciated. I want to be a better coder :P

Congrats on finishing your first project! You game is pretty cool, I played it a bit and had some fun with it, I definitely did not think that those green orbs were bad though, they kinda looked like something you want to "eat" in other games, lol. :)

Yeah I need to work on that for future projects. My mind was just on auto when I was making that orb. Not a good thing XD

I had issues with the ground tiles skipping around, and the collisions we're a little weird. Other than that, not too bad. Definitly needs animations. I thought I was standing still at first, then I thought I was supposed to collect the orbs lol.

Code: Select all

if self:hasBeer() then self:drink()
else self:getBeer() end

Wow sooooooo much progress!! It's already great, in regards to the orbs just make them red/fire like, they are a little hard to avoid.

Also I saw a weird glitch when jumping the first pits, they kinda teleport I don't know if anyone sees this too? If not then maybe I can record it later. EDIT I was "ninjaed" haha I see what Beelz sees
for i, person in ipairs(everybody) do
[tab]if not person.obey then person:setObey(true) end
end

I honestly don't know what's causing it at the moment. Before I changed them to images, they used to be red rectangles done with love.graphics.rectangle. They were working fine before. But then when I changed them to images some of them tend to teleport. Will recheck the code later.

Thanks for the comments everyone :)
