Can you Test a few Games? by Dempsey on 05-05-2005 at 03:13 PM

I have to make these 3 games for a college assignment and i need some people to test them for me, basically just to check if they work for other people, on different PC Specs etc.

Also if you have any minor suggestions/modifications let me know and i may add them.


Match Up  -  Fish Racing  -  The Gambler



Cheers :D

So they can blend in :P

But after you do that then you can make themes :P Like aquatic theme :P

That's how they look for me :P

RE: Can you Test a few Games? by Dempsey on 05-05-2005 at 03:55 PM

I've just re-uploaded Fish Racing and the background should match now

RE: Can you Test a few Games? by absorbation on 05-05-2005 at 04:12 PM

Ok this is what it looks like with the xp theme, which i think it will be marked in :)

Not all of it blends in (you may want to test the look on xp theme) becuase it will be marked in the xp theme i think.

Try using tranparent images :P

All games work fine here, although i find the fish racer a bit ugly with the gray background, it was better before.
Can't you just make the fish backgrounds pale yellow kinda thing?

RE: Can you Test a few Games? by Dempsey on 05-05-2005 at 04:24 PM

I've added some colour to fish racing now, but ideally id changed the fish images to transparent and then make the main background blue with seaweed in and stuff, but i cant really be bothered lol

RE: Can you Test a few Games? by The Napster on 05-05-2005 at 04:48 PM

tsk tsk tsk

Lazy :p

I found a sort of cheating way on the match up game, a pattern as it were...

wtf is fish racing lol

the third one is confusing, i was like O.O... then figured out you had to insert the coins, very smart (y)...

Did you close the program in between typing your name and clicking high scores?   Because atm i haven't coded a saving and loading for the high scores, they are only per session.

Nope, I did not close the program.
