Computer Game Development - The Indie Alley / Fan Minesweeper Game [BETA]
« on: January 01, 2011, 07:41:32 AM »
MINESWEEPER
Current Version: 0.3 BETA

NEW UPDATE 0.3

So i thought I'd update you guys on my latest pet project.
I've discovered minesweeper during classes this year and am really addicted so i decided to make my own minesweeper game with Game Maker 8 for fun. Almost all the art is original (some of the icons arent) and it is still very limited but it think its pretty good so far.

Some Limitations
-the boards arent randomly created, I hand made every board and hopefully and eventualy there will be enough per difficulty so that it appears that you dont get the same board again... this is because i dont know how to generate a new board and i dont want to bite off more than i can chew
-there are no stats, idk how to do that yet
-exe file is zipped because i cannot upload an exe file. the game is a standalone file.

PLEASE NOTE: Savegame are not compatible with newer versions of the game, any new features since the game was saved will be missing, this is how Game Maker's save system works.

What's New?
-Start of Medium levels (5 New Levels!)
-New Easy Levels (5 New Levels!)
-New about screen/help screen
-To Prevent any bugs, savegames are now incompatible with previous versions
-Empty tiles open up by themselves now!

Due to lack of interest I am no longer updating Minesweeper and instead will be focusing on a new game: Breakout! also in this forum. Feel free to download the gmk and use/continue the game in any way you see fit as long as original credit is given.

Please report any bugs in the thread, if there is a mistake on the board(ex: the number indicating how many mines it is touching is wrong) please take a screenshot of the board in question and I will fix it as soon as possible.

Alright in an attempt to get rid of the system calls but still to get the effect of clearing the screen i thought id run this alternative by you guys. Since system calls apparently didnt work for you guys and clrscr () wont compile for me im thinking of jsut making a function that just skips alot of lines. Seems kinda heavy handed but that should not be os specific. If you guys have any other alternatives let me know.

EDIT: That solution looked really funny cause there was always a blank in between the top of the console and the text.. Jubal, your running win7 and the original program didnt work for you?

I would recommend downlaoding Game Maker (theres a limited free version that should serve your purposes fine) or Multimedia Fusion (not free), they dont require any programming skill and its simple enough to learn, its all visual. Youd need to make or find sprites of everything you want, if your commited and can find some sprites i could help you with the game maker part as i have some experience with it.

i watched the first season which i thought was good though pretty fake. honestly the only real interest in the show was the sex and the violence. overal a decent show if you have nothing better to watch. Ive been watching True Blood recently though which is really addicting, weeds is also good if you havent heard of it check it out.

Hey,
thanks for pointing that out marcus, ive been using visual c++ as my compiler so i have no idea if it works with other OSs. I dont understand why the program would not work on your system jubal since i wrote this in windows 7 also, im really new to this, maybe when i installed visual c++ it added that dll i guess. As for why you cant go back: the only way i could think of going back to the previous menu would be putting everything in a for loop which was kinda confusing to me so i didnt add it, youl need to quit and restart the app. Also i dont know how to do numeric validation, if you explain marcus il add that in for the next version, im planning on doing an overhaul to the first menu cause im not really satistfied with having to type in 1 for addition etc and want it to be more natural.

EDIT: I might also upload another app that does math formulas for you (areas, perimiters, quadratic etc...) but i imagine that would bring up similar problems, what caused the dll error?

EDIT 2: I also have a really cool graphic tic tac toe game i wrote from scratch with open gl that i will definitely upload once i get it working again. Thing is i wrote it entirely on someone else's computer that i presume already had GLUT installed and so obviously when i brought the project home it wouldnt work, now i think ive installed it correctly but im getting some more compile errors. i asked around at ms's visual c++ forums, il link the article.

Alright,
so i know ive been gone a long time mostly because i dont play rtw or mod anymore. I have on the other hand tried my hand at programming, c++ to be exact and have made a couple of simple programs already. Everything is in the console so dont expect anything fancy, also everything was written by hand, every little character is my work :).

This is the first project which i feel is useful enough to post. Its a calculator that runs from the console, it does:
-addition/subtraction
-multiplication/division
-exponents
-percentage
-factorials
-Unit conversions (the more common units, temperature, weight, and distance)

it also remembers the answer from your last operation and automatically uses that in the next operation. Anyways, im not expecting it to change your lives but give it a download, its only 31kb, and if ever you find yourself on a rainy day trying to figure out stupid math and happen to use my program then...il contact you about some sort of monetary arrangement.

So, without further ado:

download the ZIP! the cpp file is the source code, all you really need is the exe.

enjoy, or not.

Update: Thanks to Marcus's fix, the calculator should now work with windows and linux.
