Stroll Wars - Rumble in the Woods

It's like that loading progress bar that goes up to 99% pretty quickly then stays there for about an hour. Good luck with the last "2" things.

(I add the controls help screen later) -
Looks great! Will try it with the kids tonight!

Added the controls help screen. And the help text caused a crash by a memory leak, when using the
strReplace()
function in a loop. I removed it now.
(committed it but its pending) -
I tried to reproduce the crash with
strReplace()
with a more simplified code, but failed. Basically it was appearing when the input and output parameter of the function were the same. Looks like there is a relation with the post from @Discostew . But for me, I guess the problem came from the arryay-elements I passed as the parameter. I will try again next time to figure it out. -
Final update done. 😅
- switching (> 20 times, every second) between the controls screen and the menu and between the high score screen and the menu caused a crash after 20 seconds: it was related to the use of the
strReplace()
, passing the output to the next string replace function as an input. It was confirmed that is fixed in the next FUZE version 👍 - crashs were happening when undocked: I am not 100% sure how this got away, I just started to define a
setMode(1920, 1080)
in the beginning and checked all scaling related stuff. - the touch keyboard was only giving me numbers instead of letters, when undocked: I had to call the
setMode(1280,720)
explicitly, when undocked, before callinginput()
. If you do not use setMode() at all, the keyboard will work docked and undocked.
Hope you enjoy, I will still have a look at @xevdev s suggestion with the free movement and drop the keyboard control.
And yeah, 10 high score tables and a reset high score function for game parties ;-)

I am working on navigation improvements, and I think this was a major game flow blocker. To get that properly tested I need a proper training area 😂 but I definitely underestimated the time it takes to find style matching bushes and stones. 🧐

@spikey this has lots of potential to add in different arenas and game modes like capture the flag, iv got some self drawn assets that would suit your game and being the same size tile it's fairly fast to patch a map together. could have rooms and different areas so the player could take advantage of environmental effects pits,windy,icey ect, probably getting carried away sorry.

@waldron I would love to use your graphics, especially if I start extending (see below) the concept after the first release (some of the ideas, I would drop, without help, especially with the graphics). And yes, I know exactly what you mean: the hardest part right now, for me is to get not carried away (yet!). I could not resist with the training arena. So, my goal right now is: navigation with high usability, simple map (no extra interaction yet), and AI players. Done by 80%, 70%, 60%.I want to complete this version as a full game. And then get wild with Stroll Wars 2: by playing the first version and gathering feedback I will decide on:
- multi arena style or scroller
- co op or vs
- special charge shot / shield / self healing
- items to pick up: health, special power, speed
- seasons: snow, forrest, country side, desert
- game modes: capture flag, capture zone, king of the hill, aim against time, together towards one big guy, gold rush, bonus levels
So, for now, I got my stone, but I d love to take this further.👍😎

@spikey sounds like a sensible plan to release as is then when the time comes then update it, for now it's inspiring to see like all programs on Fuze.

@spikey cant wait till i can play this!

Found some animated torches, (the Finalbossblues/torch was in the wrong order), and tinkered with the hit sound. Getting the sound right, was hard. I miss an option to play audio with an offset (meaning: having a parameter for the start second and the duration). After having the logic ready, I can probably complete it quite fast, just by using the map editor for the rest of the level.
