Altitude (Alice Version)

leggomyeggo · #1 02-09-2011, 11:31 PM

As some of you may know: there's a program out there called Alice (Real programmers will probably hate this). Basically, it's a program that allows you to place 3D objects into an environment and then create a storyboard (or in my case, a game) based off of movements such as move, turn, roll, etc.

Well, I've been working in this at my engineering classes and I was told to make a game out of it. First thing I thought of was plains and chutin them down (pfft, who wouldn't?). So, without further ado, I give you: Altitude. Also, before you guys start hatin', I know they don't fire back and it looks silly, but I am working on it and it's still in it's beta phase, if you will. Another thing, you cannot load this program without installing Alice (and they are both perty big files (Altitude being 14889 Kb, idk what Alice is). Not trying to discourage you from trying it, but just so you know.

If you do happen to try it out, please leave feedback and anything wrong with the program (i.e plain doesn't chute, there's a hacker in here and he stole my sammich!, the other plain shot me without being able to shoot..fkin hackers, i randomly get disconnected from the non-existant server, etc).

Last but not least: The Instructions

Step 1: Install Alice
Step 2: Download Altitude
Step 3: Run alice and open up the file you just downloaded^^
Step 4: Press "Play"
Step 5: Choose your character (type in the letter of the character you want)
Step 6: Press enter
Step 7: Controls: Up makes you turn forward (pointing down), down makes you turn backward (Pointing up), left to go left, right to go right, C to fire missiles, space bar to view your rear (don't even think about it)
Step 7: CHUTE THEIR PLAINS!!! Or just run into them and be a kamikaze, that works too.

Downloading it all. Just so you guys know, I'm a tech guy, and that file Altitude is about 14.5 MB, probably for most computers about a 10-30 second download.

Very Cool!

I made a biplane chuter for my Alice Java class.

It kinda sucked, but I still have Alice, let's check out yours.

edit: After careful consideration I decided Alice sucks in general. There's probably a reason programmers hate it.

Programming is an alien language to me, props to the guys who do it, max respect.

yes, but I wanted to know what my HP would say to trying to open a mac file.

while True:

print 'Blue being a "tech guy" because he can time how long it takes him to download something is about as convincing as when he posted copyrighted work and claimed to be a "graphic designer."'

else:

print 'Just kidding Blue, you're great at this stuff!'

On another note, I'm in the finishing stages of writing a Python Pacman game - just beginning to understand how difficult even the simplest stuff really is.

your else clause has no preceding "if" for it to be an else for, yo.

the else clause would execute if my while loop ever ended, noob. lrn2python

oh. what the heck is this newfangled python code **** using else clauses without an if. and in that case, also your code has an infinite loop yo? and an else clause that will never get executed.

Ribilla · #13 02-10-2011, 11:50 PM

What is this modern ****, please do again in C++ kthx.

Ribilla · #14 02-10-2011, 11:57 PM

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
bool blueisanub;

cout << "is blue a nub? Enter 1 for true, 0 for false" << endl;
cin >> blueisanub;

if (blueisanub==true) cout << "Blue being a 'tech guy' because he can time how long it takes him to download something is about as convincing as when he posted copyrighted work and claimed to be a 'graphic designer'" << endl;

else

cout << "Just kidding Blue, you're great at this stuff!" << endl;

return 0;

}

Python is great, however if you're just making games as a hobbyist I would recommend XNA Game Studio, it's quite nice, and you can use it to make Xbox 360 games as well as PC games. The language is C# but if you're familiar with Java you should have no problem making the switch. Also there's an abundance of helpful material out there about it, also it's free.

You guys still using Java, Python, and C++? lol nubs.

Code:

HAI
CAN HAS LOLBRARY?
IM IN YR LOOP
     UP VAR!!1
     VISIBLE "PRLOLGRAMMER NUBS"
     IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 999999? KTHX
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

so many coders in here o.O

Update: Skins/Firing system fixed (I think)

Available skins: Lava, water, chrome, gold, space, abstract, and green

To add a skin to your biplain, on the top left of the alice programming window, click on Biplane3. Next, go to properties. Click on the drop down box next to Skin Texture. Choose your skin (they should be one of the last items there).
