Don't have the source files so I can't see if I'm right, but it doesn't seem as if you've scaled any of the timing stuff. I barely had time to run away after I placed a bomb, and I would often overshoot the path I wanted to go into.

Good port of Bomberman, though. Since Hudson got dissolved, it's a worthy tribute.

Yeah, so thanks for not providing a .love file for us people who aren't on Windows. There's a lot of us you know.

[MarekkPie]

Ahem...Wine... That's how I played it.

I forgot that 7zip isn't cross platform, I almost suggested using it. Here you go Jasoco.

Anyhow, I tried reading the the walk function in but got bogged down in libs/player.lua. Pretty dense stuff in there, I'm surprised it works as well as it does.

[MarekkPie]

Either you fixed the timing issue, or it was Wine that was blitzing the game speed...but it runs much better as a .love on Linux.

[Jasoco]

Exactly. There's something really wrong about forcing someone to play a game, written in a cross-platform language, in an emulation layer emulating another OS.

Plus, the .love file is like 5% the size of the ZIP file you provided. Those EXE versions should only be created when a game is finished. Until then you should just upload .love files.

Look at the guy's post count. Look at his join date. Don't jump on him because it wasn't in the format you wanted. I would like the entire Internet to be written in Comic Sans, but am I complaining when I have to look at boring old Helvetica/Arial/Times New Roman? No.

It is not that bad, you know...

Code: Select all

$ unzip Bomberman.zip 
Archive:  Bomberman.zip
   creating: Bomberman/
  inflating: Bomberman/Bomberman.exe  
  inflating: Bomberman/DevIL.dll     
  inflating: Bomberman/OpenAL32.dll  
  inflating: Bomberman/SDL.dll       
$ cd Bomberman
$ unzip Bomberman.exe
$ rm *.exe *.dll
$ zip -r ../Bomberman.love *

and there you have your *.love file.

Or just

Code: Select all

$ unzip Bomberman.zip 
Archive:  Bomberman.zip
   creating: Bomberman/
  inflating: Bomberman/Bomberman.exe  
  inflating: Bomberman/DevIL.dll     
  inflating: Bomberman/OpenAL32.dll  
  inflating: Bomberman/SDL.dll       
$ cd Bomberman
$ love Bomberman.exe

Of course Bomberman.zip is still much larger than it need be.

@Mkalo: don't worry too much about this, just remember that this forum always prefers .loves.
