Hello all!

Game and screenshots at www.numeronreactor.com

What a terrible job collecting salvage out here in this asteroid field is. Its not only bleak and depressing finding long dead and frozen bodies floating in space, but there are plenty of other broken hulls out here exactly the same model as the ship you're now in. Its only inevitable you end up like that. And you do. You are lucky enough to crash land on an asteroid large enough to have... some kind of life. Or maybe the real lucky ones are the ones who died quickly back out there in the void...

This game was made inside of 7 days for the annual 7 Day Roguelike Challenge which has just concluded, and it uses Slick!

Wow this looks really clean. All the graphics are neat and the theme just blends right in with the gameplay. 10/10 from me. Just wondering

  • How do you store your maps?
  • How do you use game states (e.g. cutscenes are a state)?
  • Quote:
    The version (Slick2D) shipped with this game has had several minor modifications and tweaks.
    These were?
  • Are you going to release the source code?


BTW I love the website too.

Thanks guys for the good words!

Currently I have an array of Tile objects which each hold a stack of game objects for that tile. This is incredibly inefficient, and one of the main reasons for the memory blow out. I intend to change it to 5 overlapping byte arrays in the coming months

I dont use any of the slick game related stuff, see next question.

When I first picked up Slick I merged GameContainer and AppGameContainer, and then stripped the result down so that it was a plain and simple UI. All my slick related code is in a separate project file which the game is dependant on, and my main game loops update the UI as a part of their own thing.

Also a minor bug or two. :wink:

Nope. Sorry!

Also, how did you get your menu working with SlickUI and how do you implement that pixel font?

Menu waits for key, if its up or down, then change the currently selected item otherwise if enter/space perform the selected item. Pretty straight forward.

Pulled basically straight out of the documentation wiki, loads ttf files:
Code:
public UnicodeFont loadFont(String path, int size, boolean bold, boolean italic) throws SlickException{
    UnicodeFont font = new UnicodeFont(path, size, bold, italic);
    font.addAsciiGlyphs();
    font.addGlyphs(400, 600);
    font.getEffects().add(new ColorEffect(java.awt.Color.WHITE));
    font.loadGlyphs();
    return font;
  }

Just an update on the competition results...

Nightfall did exceptionally well.

Out of 63 successful entrants in the competition, it landed second place tied with 4 other people :)
