Shoot Da Monkee

[Nahuel]

Here's a little game I made based on DBak's question on this thread.

It's simple. Choose the right angle and the right speed to hit the monkey that's sitting on a bench on the other side of the screen.

Every time you hit the monkey, you get 1 point. If you miss, you lose 1 point.

When you get to 5 points, a stone wall is placed in the middle. Of course, since you can lose points, the wall will disappear if you go back to 4 points.

When you get to 10 points, a brick wall is placed in the middle. You can select the proper angle and shoot above the wall, or choose the right speed and pass through it.

I hope you have fun playing, cos I had fun coding it

Important notes:

• There seems to be a problem with the sounds on other computers that I don't have on mine.

  At the top of the script the sounds that the game will use are loaded using _SoundOpen(). This way, you can use the handles and the speed is perfect. BUT, this only works on MY computer... I have NO idea why. On other computers, sounds play just once. _SoundPlay() seems to close the sounds when returning so they won't play again. If this happens to you, comment the lines that use _SoundOpen() and uncomment the lines below these. This way works alright on fast computers, but it's TERRIBLY slow on not-so-fast ones. (You'll see a note in the code)

• The images were ALL made by myself on Ms. Paint.
• The sounds were downloaded from a site FOR FREE. I cannot remember what site, since it was a long time but I'm willing to search again on request.

Nice, I'm not very good though only hit the monkey once.

I love seing games being made in autoit, because they are often very clever

Awesome game dude! Yeah, I suck at the game too, and It doesn't like my resoultion...

[Nahuel]

@monoceres: Thanks! Figuring out the projectile equation gave me a good headache

@R6V2: Yeah, the game should work on any resolution, but it seems to be easier on 800x600.

[Swift]

Aha! Finally beat the game! Yes! Heres a good tip: set the angle to 70 (Always) and then use between 120-142 as the speed! on 768x1200 (I think..)

So your screen is bigger on it's height than its width??

the green background appearing gave me a bad headache.

the last time this happened is when i still played diablo 2 and i tried changing the background color on redvex.

other then that, nice game. the monkey becomes very bloody though

rest in peace monkey rest in peace.

Although I understand some Spanish, and know what it says lol but you know some people might not

There's an English version too...

Nice work on the game! Maybe make options for the sound 'cause they're kind of annoying...

[Achilles]

I had always been using a speed of 500 and adjusting the angle... That didn't work very well after the wall showed up...

[Swift]

Like I said, always use 70 angle, and use the speed between 120-142 (Works with the wall anywhere too)

[Nahuel]

Haha, thanks everyone!

@Achilles: I wasn't really planning on making a full application to share... so the options can be changed directly from the script. I'll think about that when I think of new ideas for the game

@R6V2: Reached the highest score? I seem to be the only one so far

If you want to try out the other levels, change the value of $PuntajeInicial. Use >5 if you want the stone wall and >10 if you want the brick wall.

[Toady]

lol cool.

[Swift]

Yeah, I reached the highest score, took me some effort and trial-n-error, but finally found how, read some of my above posts on a tip to winning the game!
