Yah, I'm only able to update and upload new versions when I come over to the library. I've already add "Taxes", I'm changing the Walls to cost 15 Stone and reduce the Lumber to 5. Gold will stay 20. I'm also planning a total revision of the raid system. Apparently when you attack with a lot of guys, it screws with it. Anyways, no more info. You will have to wait and see

It's a nice little game, very similar to a downloadable form of Raiders and Traders really. 

Yah, that was sort of my reference/inspiration. Hope you don't mind . Also, work on V0.3 is going nicely. Hopefully I can toss in a few more buildings.

Modify - Updated main post

I shall make a promise with myself. I shall actually USE and UPDATE this "Ryan's Game Thread"! So, now that I have that promise, I shall proceed.

"Kingdom Creator" -Canceled 2/9/12- -Removed from "Attachments" of this post to make some room.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A minigame I'm working on in my spare time. Hope you guys like it . Still has a long way to go (Hopefully go to V1.0)

Cancelled due to lack of time and organization. Also due to unrecoverable errors in source-code. Apologies.

Random Encounter(Mini-Game)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Download - http://www.mediafire.com/?08wi7e96u1ns6az

Just a mini-game I threw together when I had a coders block on "Kingdom Creator".
Finished copy.No Updates.

Random Number Guesser!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A minigame/distraction made in 15 minutes. May not be all that exciting, but I hope you guys enjoy!

Text Editor/Reader

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A small program I created in a little bit to learn about IO Streams. May update/screw around with later!
Update 1 - Now with TextBoxes and with JFileChooser (Classic directory-choose thingy)

Note: You have to give the path to the .txt file, since I don't know how to implement the usual/system file-chooser
Note 2: Begin with "C://" and not "C:\"
Example: C://Users/Ryan/Desktop/file-name.txt

Wow, lot of Notes, eh ?

Calculator

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Part of my "Mini Program-athon" that will span until the end of this week (3/16/12). Only contains the "Standard/Basic" calculations. Here's a list of features to be added later:
Calculating Perimeter & Area (Of various shapes)
Sine & Cos
Fibonacci Sequence (Maybe? Don't see how useful this could be =/)

The Box -Cancelled due to lack of experience/knowledge and organization-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A minigame thing that I'm building/programming! So far not that much, but I hope it's something to screw around with at least . Ideas are ALWAYS appreciated!

Current "Build": Alpha 0.05

Ideas for: Alpha 0.06 -
Fixing some graphics bugs
Think of something new for the "Character" box.
Make a "Zombie Spawner"
Organize & Clean Code!

Controls:
Movement - Arrow Keys
Shoot (Doesn't do much) - Left Click
"Sprint" - Shift
Pause - Escape

Zombie AI/Movement Code for all to see

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

public void FindCharacter() {
      if (xZombie < xChar) {
         xZombie++;
      }
      if (xZombie > xChar) {
         xZombie--;
      }
      if (yZombie < yChar) {
         yZombie++;
      }
      if (yZombie > yChar) {
         yZombie--;
      }
   }

Note: Fixed the graphical error/bug. Turns out I had to move the res folder along with the jar, and not JUST the jar

Generic Top-Down Game (GTDG)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just a very generic and non-fulfilling game! I've joined a small indie group (RazeStudios: http://www.razestudios.net) and they've been able to help me out a LOT. I could hardly get through the world-creation! Thankfully that is out of the way and production can commence!

Current "Version": 0.01
Current Features:
-A neat little frame filled with tiles to look at!

Planned:
-A movable (character)!
-Little else =/

Images!

None yet!

Ideas, suggestions, and constructive criticism is always appreciated

Non-game Programs - The Tinkers' Workshop / Ryan's Python Software!

« on: October 24, 2011, 09:45:08 PM »

Hello, Exilian! 'Tis I, Ryan! I'm here to show off some of my Python games/software/stuffz that I've been playing with! (Note, I will be putting "Ref#" in place of links. The links can be found at the bottom of the page)

First off, I need you to download the latest version of "Pygame" for anything to work. Link is here: Ref1!

Okay, moving on. I've been watching Python tutorials for a few days now, after getting "Pushed" into it by SotK(Adam) and his "Township" game (Found here: Ref2). I've been watching "TheNewBoston"(Ref3) on Youtube, so he helps a lot with understanding the code. So, without further adue, here're some of my programs!

---Line Draw V1---

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This program, you guessed it, draws lines! I think this one is sort-of fun to play with. I got another idea to add when I figure out how to implement said idea

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/file/12t1pqeztp4acne/Line_Draw_V1

Instructions:
1)"F5"(Read "How to play Software")
2)Click where you want a line to start (1st click)
3)Click somewhere else/where you want the line to extend to (2nd click)
4)Click on somewhere else, and it makes a 3rd point and connects to 2nd point.
4b)It just makes it all connected. Read "Planned Features"
Controls:
Left/Right Click - Adds a new line/point
C - Clears point data / New line-thingy
Planned Features:
1)Ability to start a new line/string/whatever (Via R-Click)
2)Ability to change color of the line(s)

------------------------------
---Line Draw V2---

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This program, you guessed it, draws lines! I think this one is sort-of fun to play with. Improvement of Line Draw V1

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/file/w9jb2gptf0e4c4m/Line_Draw_V2

Instructions:
1)"F5"(Read "How to play Software")
2)Click where you want a line to start (1st click)
3)Click somewhere else/where you want the line to extend to (2nd click)
4)Click on somewhere else, and it makes a 3rd point and connects to 2nd point.
4b)It just makes it all connected. Read "Planned Features"
Controls:
Left/Right Click - Adds a new line/point
C - Clears point data / New line-thingy
R - Makes the current line "Red"
G - Makes the current line "Green"
B - Makes the current line "Blue"
Note: If you haven't hit "C" before pushing R/G/B, it turns that line R/G/B. Push "C" then R/G/B for best results
Planned Features:
1) Way to delete/clear the board/screen
2)MOAR COOLARS!!11

How to play the Software:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1) Download the latest release of "Pygame"(Ref1)
2)Go into "Start">"All Programs" and look for "IDLE (Python GUI)"
3)Save a shortcut to the Desktop
4)Open the IDLE
5)"File">"Open" and find the Software you want to use/play(Note: it save the Software in ".file", so at the drop-box, change from ".py .pyc" to "All Files")
6)Hit "F5" and wait for it to load
7)? + Profit (Read: Fun =D)

Note: I will be using Mediafire until the ability to upload a file directly to the forums is re-added. Sorry for the inconvenience

Democracy, you Communist PIG! Joking . Anyways, I think I'd pick Communism, since the whole "Share everything" means I can walk into a Computer store (Or something) and walk out with a super awesome, 500TB Memory and 40000TB Ram computer for FREEEEEE

Would you rather a normal life-span (Die with friends+family) or infinite life (Watch friends+family age and die)?
