I still haven't finished the new framework, so the SmileBASIC games aren't launched yet!
-=-=-
Game Three is "Just Rocks", and .. well.. yeah, it's exactly what it looks like in the screenshot.
Nothing unusual here, except the smallest of the fragments have a sort of magnetic attraction, so you'll need to actually use your thruster for a change!!!
And achievements.
Oooh!
Other than that, standard Asteroids be it.
The biggest missing thing, right now, is the Music.
I'm planning on adding a new version of JMTrackr into the mix, and am currently trying to formulate how best to do just that.
But, yeah, the SmileBASIC stuff is coming along rather well!
[verse]
Peow Peow Peow goes my rocket ships blaster.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
Shooting lazers at the rocks that are flying by.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
I'm gonna drift through space and rotate myself towards them.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
And then destroy all the asteroids 'til only the dust remains.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow peow! Fwar!)
[verse]
I'm playing Asteroid again, and I'm aiming for a highscore.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
I'm gonna shoot up all the rocks and then I'll shoot up even more.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
Come on and tally up the totals, rank me high as I can go.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
Take a photo of my playing, so I've got something to show.
(Oo-e-oo-e-oo peow peow peow)
[bridge]
How do I reach such a highscore, (highscore)
Perhaps it's 'cos I've been here all day. (shooting more)
And I pump in more credits to relinquish my life, (peow)
Then continue on my quest to blast the rocks that are rife. (peow peow peow)
"Cartoon Derek considers writing a new edition of JMTrackr inside SmileBASIC" by DrawThings / Flux
I think it deserves a point for knowing that that prompt was even vaguely Music related.
... How much of AGameAWeek has the Flux model scraped that it understood that "JMTrackr = Music" !?!
This one has music, too.
This one.. .. .. Not so much.
They're dancing, I suppose.
Int. Dave's Games and ScrunchCakes - Tuesday Morning
[The shop floor is covered in orange-tinted light from the disco ball. A journalist from the local paper is interviewing Dave at a table, while Green is using a mop, trying to clean ominous glowing stains off the ceiling]
Journalist: We were here just 5 short months ago during your grand opening, and now you've created a wonderful Scottish Event for the whole town to take part in. You really have become an important part in our local community.
Dave: [mixing up his impressions] Yarr, it shure is shuper being sho shpeshial, meharties.
Journalist: So, Mr. Parker, please do tell us about your journey since the opening.
Dave: [switching between accents] Well, ye shee, it'sh been quite the adventure, yarr.
Green: I think what he means is, it's been a fun .. adventure.
Journalist: And what inspired the Scottish theme?
Dave: Arr, well, yarr. We're doing a grand adventure.
Journalist: Adventure seems to be a recurring word in your Scrunchybuns.
Dave: [deadpan] ScrunchCake. .. They're called ScrunchCakes.
Green: [quickly interrupting] We wanted to celebrate British culture, so we're going on a .. quest. A grand quest across the whole of Britain.
Dave: And the glowing is completely intentional!
Green: [trying to stick to normality] We'll be visiting a different place every week over the coming months, treking all around the British Isles.
Journalist: The glowing?
Dave: Aye! Like the Northern Lights, but more... orange.
Green: David.. We'll probably see the Northern Lights at some point, but over the next few weeks you can look forward to some wonderfully amazing tastes from around the country.
Journalist: Could you give us any interesting spoilers?
Dave: Not really, we haven't planned too far ahead. The Eccles ScrunchCakes didn't turn out very well.
Journalist: No?
Dave: The raisins keps popping out.
Journalist: And will there be other places you'll be visiting?
Green: We're hoping to get the Guiness ScrunchCakes ready before we hit the Irish coast.
Dave: Oooh, and don't tell anyone, but the Welsh Rarebit ones are deliciously cheesy.
Journalist: Oooh, sounds Scrumptious.
Dave: Scrunchous!
[Dave reaches under the table and pulls out a set of Bagpipes]
Green: OK, Interview over. David, I need to talk to you.
