Snake (2600)

Posted by Wickeycolumbus, 31 December 2010 · 140 views

It's been a while since I posted anything here, so I thought I'd share a mini game I was working on recently. It's a simple clone of the popular game Snake.

Adventure 1K update

Posted by Wickeycolumbus, 19 April 2010 · 97 views

I had some time to work on Adventure 1K, here is an updated version.

Updates:

* playfield is green
* object graphics changed
* two rooms
* gate opening animation
* collision detection between player and walls
* multiple bug fixes

It still needs a bit of work, but I think it can fit into 1K.

Vong gets a rating!

Posted by Wickeycolumbus, 28 April 2009 · 68 views

Looks like allgame gave Vong a rating!

It was rated 3.5/5 ("Very good" according to their scale), not bad for a 2K game written in a couple months by someone my age

Vong's 1 year anniversary

Posted by Wickeycolumbus, 29 March 2009 · 48 views

I was viewing the source code for Vong today and realized that the first official build of Vong was 1 year ago yesterday (3/28). The entire project lasted from 3/28/08 to 7/24/08, although I rewrote it on 6/13/08. It took 41 days to rewrite.

In celebration of Vong's 1 year anniversary, I have attached the source of the first build
