Cannonship - 2d shooter

[zielok]

I started creating a new game "CannonShip" (2d top shooter like Tyrian).

Download (11.22.2010 version)

I have:
- tiled map loader (another version based on xml lua parser)
- fast and smooth scrolling (two layers and three tileset - more is possible)
and no more this time....

Sorry for double post!
New version is availbale (in the first post) - this is very early stage (without collision, some animations and more..)

Controls:
WSAD - move our ship
Right Control - shoot

Don't have much to comment for now but an advice: use another key than right crtl since that keycode don't seem to work on OSX.

Wow, man, it looks gorgeous.

This looks really good. I've always been a fan of this genre so I can't wait to see where this goes.

Nice. I have to try it on Caanoo & Dingoo :-).

You overdid those graphics. ._.

[Ryne]

I agree it looks really good, did you do the graphics yourself?

MacBook's don't even have a right Control key. You should instead of just checking for right control, check for left as well by doing:

Code: Select all

if love.keyboard.isDown("rctrl") or love.keyboard.isDown("lctrl") then

I also like placing the key in a local like:

Code: Select all

local fireKey = love.keyboard.isDown("rctrl") or love.keyboard.isDown("lctrl")

Other than that, even though I can't shoot, it's amazing looking.

New version is available.
Features:
- added enemy destruction
- added particles effect
- fixed shoot key
and maybe more but I don't remember

Port for Dingoo? Yes, it's possible but first I must finish game.

Yes, I make graphics.
