Response to: Tell me about your first game! Posted 1 month ago in Game Development

I was like 12 I think, used gamemaker 8 because it had visual programming. It was like a platformer without gravity (because i didn't know how to do that lol) and the final boss was my cousin's face ripped from his facebook profile, then i drew a knife on it with paint and made it bounce around the room. The HHD of that PC died long ago fortunately.

Check freesound.org they're plenty of raw audios there, some high quality and copyright free. Also some soundfonts like SGM have a bunch of Sound FX.

around 5 months.


That reminds me - is the objective to finish the song, or to score points against the computer? Like, what happens if someone manages to beat the AI by having it miss the ball due to extreme angles?

You have to finish the song like in any other rhythm game. The AI can't miss, you have points and you lose some of them every time you miss, so when your points reach 0 it's a game over (this isn't done yet).


A long time ago I made a one-player pong-like game where multiple balls had to be juggled, but with different depths for each ball - so it wasn't quite as simple as ensuring the ball touched the paddle. That got really difficult with more than 2 balls though, so I don't know if that's going to be worth including here.

Hard to tell how different it'd be to implement in this game. The ball doesn't follow any physics here, whether you can hit the ball or not is determined by the beatmap and the x position of the player. I'm still implementing this so if I feel like it's getting too complicated I'll probably scrap it.

You can see the crappy map editor I made at the start of the video lol. I just click around adding green circles, the lines represent a span (aka the time it will take the ball to go from one side to another.) The green circles represent which side (top or bottom) the ball will end the movement on. To modify the spans I just drag the green circles right or left. All timing is handled by the sync controller, which just takes a music file and a bpm to make big brain math and make things work.


How do the players know where to move the paddles to, or is it like a normal game of pong where there's no memorization possible?

You have to follow the ball with your eyes... for now. But I think it would be nice to be able to map the angle in which the ball will bounce on faster parts, because it REALLY gets difficult.


Do the difficulties scale up with speed only, or are you planning on adding more factors (e.g. number of balls)?

I'm preparing the map editor to support multiple balls at once, as I said, it can get really difficult with shorter spans, but I don't want to rely solely on that. I'm planning to add different ways to hit the ball, like holding Z/X to charge the ball, or to press Z and X at the same time to make stronger hits.

rhythm pong game? Posted May 23rd, 2023 in Game Development

This will probably get lost in the void of inactivity... but I just wanted to show this off. It's supposed to be a "rhythm pong" game, but since the ball here can pong many times it should be considered an overcomplicated variant of "ping pong" which could be called "ping pong pong pong pong pong". In other words you just "ping" once and then "pong" all you want. Note that this could be similar to Lofi Ping Pong or Rhythm Rally but harder.

From my understanding... nope. You can only upload swf or html5 games. Also, i did a quick search and the applet tag was deprecated back in html4.

the start of my art career.
The first drawing my hands has ever made.
A street sharks fanart
i made this when i was like 4 or 3.
“A shark with legs”


Damn, that's pretty creative considering most kids go for something more like "a red-roofed house on top of a green hill" kinda stuff

Once upon a time, I was a salty nine-year-old third grader who couldn't draw Garf.
And no. The first and third drawings aren't mine. They're my sister's.
She was the one that wrote the speech bubbles.

Response to: Geometry Dash Sound Effect in Song? Posted May 5th, 2023 in Audio

Given the audio portal rules, it really depends on robtop. I'd say he doesn't care at all if the sound effects are made by him, which is hard to tell since he mostly uses music from other creators lol


You may not use copyrighted / unlicensed samples.

You aren't allowed to have ANY copyrighted samples in your song. Not even a millisecond. Movie quotes, game sound effects, acapellas of popular singers, etc. have a VERY good chance of being copyrighted.

I like to sniff and lick my games so I prefer physical

Well it doesn't work like that. It never starts to play the BGM for some reason but every other noise works


As I said I'm not familiar with GDevelop5, sorry if I can't help you any further. But (almost) every time this kind of thing happen on HTML5 is because of the Autoplay Policy as far as I know.

Response to: Do you ever think the internet was a big mistake? Posted April 4th, 2022 in General

The internet is just a tool for sending and receiving information, I think that the mistake is the way we use it. Somehow we got so attached to it because of most social networks, which are specifically designed to keep your attention (because of their sales model) and we basically fell for it.
