Description

not like classical Asteroids game should work with Python 2.5

Changes

- fixed: now killing two or more asteroids at a time is really better than one - fixed: i had a float division error when mouse was on player's center - changed menu: added highscore table, sound control, "settings" submenu - highscore table is displayed after death, and can be closed only after some time - settings are now saved in a file - added FPS label, if your FPS is below 24, it is recommended to turn off clouds - as an experiment: a little part of the code moved to C++ - added floating text when you gain score killing an asteroid

thanks for help. i'll see if that works. Sorry for renaming your game. I did it becuse I wanted to shorten the name. As i launch it from command line its faster to type. dont worry about it.

i'm working with Windows, so i don't know the solution, but as i googled.. try setting MALLOC_CHECK_ to zero as described here: http://www.novell.com/support/documentLink.do?externalID=3113982 and, SampleMan2.py is another project, not this one :)

the intro works but then it crashes on ubuntu 10.04. I've had similiar problems with other python programs. Am I missing a package or what? What should i do? when starting from console it prints out: ringo@ringo-desktop:~/SampleMan2$ python SampleMan2.py * glibc detected * python: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x08bc1d78 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= ...list of some files ======= Memory map: ======== ...list of programs

ok, i'll add hiscore table after death and volume control soon :) i'm only studying to make games, i don't know about any license.. :) Do you want to use it somehow?

I was trigger happy and not very accurate :) doing better now, thanks for the tip. Suggestions: give us volume controls for sound effects and most importantly music, and/or wrap the load of music.mp3 in a try/except so we can just rename it to turn off the deedle deedle eedle and leave the blamo, if you see what I mean ha ha. Also IMHO should throw a "you are dead" modeless dialog (or maybe a highscore table?)... anything just so death doesn't result in dying plus also bad clicks on the main menu, if that makes sense? This is a cool game, what license are you releasing it under?

A game well made :). My highscore is 887, for the moment...

i dont think it is hard really =) try not to shoot very often, there will be less asteroids. or shoot with SPACE. my highscore is above 5000 =) maybe you just have to get used to the game.

Works for me on OS X, very nice, but man... what's your highscore? I survived for 2 seconds once and got 300. Is it supposed to be blazingly hard?
