Astrocados - An ode to programming genius
 
  12th/17   Σ19.245   Sep 18th 2016 5:37pm
 
 
Astrocados is a game about... uhh.. how do I explain this...

I KNOW!

ASTROCADOS IS A GAME ABOUT UTILIZING YOUR IMAGINATION TO ITS FULLEST! Imagine you're a ship blasting enemies in space and saving the holy avocado from the hands of evil!

The idea was making an avocado-based game but we didn't have any ideas as to what the game was gonna be until really late. We also ran out of time, vil had to leave today, and I tried coding an engine which ended up full of bugs and unfinished stuff. The result is a bloated mess full of glue everywhere, but hey, I guess it's funny in a way. If this failure made you laugh then I consider this a success.

btw, if you guys know what's causing the enemies to spaz out, let me know and I'll love you forever.

CREDITS:
- vilxdryad did the coding of the pretty effects, the storyline, I think a few graphics and idk what else (but he did a bunch)

- TMM12 did the cool tunez I think

- I crashed this game into the ground (codez, some grafx, the game over sound)


CONTROLS:
- Arrows: Move
- Z: Shoot
- X: Sudoku
- Enter: Exit sudoku


MANY THANKS TO VIL AND MUDWEED FOR THEIR HELP MAKING THIS GAME ALSO I'M SORRY IF I DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THE HYPE (what hype tho it's not like I announced this trainwreck) BUT IT'S ALL COOL BTW THEY DID MOST OF THE JOB I ONLY WROTE SOME SHITTY CODE AND SUBMITTED THIS ENTRY BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO IT btw take a look at the code I promise it's good ;) ANYWAY PLEASE ENJOY AND DON'T FORGET TO LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK TAKE A LOOK AT MY MYSPACE LINKEDIN SNAPCHAT

DISCLAIMER: This game contains no avocados, unless the planet in the background is made of them. Therefore this game is a scam, but I'll sell it on Steam anyway because yes.

yea, i did not sleep since the gamejams started for coding on this; and because of on this date here is tradition to kill themselves; it was expectable someone would cook at my side and because i did not leave there at the right moment i ended fainting at the stairs of the house for several hours and barely being able to move after; there is not a excuse for what i did to you, i failed the best team and myself.

there is a huuuuge amount of features that were not included at in the final product; as a famicom-styled launcher with various menu entries that lead to the same game with different cheats and title screens; resembling old famicom multicarts, the lack of a title screen, power-ups, stages, bonus stages, level progression, upgrades, bosses and a amazing hidden track which most of them were already fully or partially done.

before i quitted it was a really amazing experience; if i can stare at you once more i would like to have the privilege of coding with you; i am sure this game would have been incredibly amazing once finished properly.

i may sleep several days now

please excuse my failure

It's okay you did nothing wrong

[btw he means national holidays where people eat meat and he's a vegan hence "killing themselves"]

well; i am pretty sensitive to nocive stuff since i have a really clean body

stuff is done already; this is the avocado 52 of the gamejams and there is nothing to do about it

btw; amazing stuff you managed to add later, i would love to add stuff to your engine later; congratulations on that = 3

I'll love you forever if you can figure out why the hell those enemy ships blast all over the place. I don't recall writing any code for that lmao

EDIT: Also for whatever reason the score text moves down on game over lmao.

THAT'S WHAT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND

btw there's a last minute control I included before submitting: Press C to earn points (it's the only way to do so). Aim for the highest score and challenge your friends!

Hey, the problem is with your JavaScript inheritance - there are many ways to do inheritance, but how you had it handled doesn't seem to make sense to me. I sort of hacked in a small fix to the inheritance chain to see if that would fix the issue, and sure enough it does.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-1aumGKQcQTZC01OGpYdXhpR1E

EDIT: See changes in GameObject.js and Enemy.js
EDIT EDIT: I'm also just hacking in fixes, "new" keyword probably isn't required now due to the changes. I wouldn't recommend continuing with the method of inheritance I'm using, rather - consider all your options for inheritance in JavaScript and see which method you want to use.

I think the problem stemmed from Enemy.prototype = new Gameobject();, this particular code didn't make sense to me - the instance is a new game object, and each enemy shares that single instance as a prototype? Sounds fishy.

NICE

My bet was actually on bad array indexing, but it's great you found the issue. I think I made those classes when I was experimenting as a n00b and just decided to reuse them for this game (with no thought process in between). I forgot most if not all of the JavaScript OOP I learned since then so you can guess how things went from there. :P

I learned something new from this so thanks a bunch !!! !! !! !! 1!!!!! You also get a special position in my Hall Of People Who Found Out What The Heck Was Going On With The Code (totally not improvised, in fact it might not exist yet).


EDIT: Pfft wtf I finally figured out the logic behind that last bit. I should lrn my codez better lmao.

man, looking at your working engine is inspiring; i would really hype you coming back to finish this game someday.

btw; amazing job you did there, Nibiru! i really appreciate you took your time into the game code; thanks you a lot~ =' D

i can not believe someone managed to get to that challenging score, you might appear in a secret stage room on the finished game- unless someone can beat it until this compo end

lol i really congratulate you on that one; and YES, TMM12's music is amazing =' D he was my first though in music when the game jams started being a thing once i got onto one of his tracks; i instantly felt in love with his Vybrancy theme he submitted early in Summer Chip VI too so had to message him asking to be involved with the team merio and me were starting for it so i got really happy when he agreed to join~ =' 3

my bad = c i would have lol rip

edit: to be honest; i saw a lot of potential on this game while being developed, even if differs of what was shown here; the main concept of the engine were pretty impressive and the ideas that felt in the mid stage of coding sounded enjoyable imo

well; hope next game jams gathers us to develop something cool, and yea; i am making my way into canvas as suggested = 3

TMM12 made the most part of the success of not getting last

perhaps someone found the way of how to play this

Probably not, as evidenced by the playability ranking :)))

EDIT: Actually yes, it's a game about using your imagination after all, so creative minds likely enjoyed it.
