Ghetto Engineer
"Grandma, aka Big G has baked some cookies. Visit her. It's a dangerous hood, so better gear up."
Use materials found in your garage to craft an unconventional weapon. Choose wisely, as you can only carry one weapon on your way to Big G. Use your imagination, but don't go nuts as not everything works.
Use:
MOUSE to drag materials to craft
WASD/ARROWS to move
SPACE to shoot
ALT to do special if possible
-There are 12 weapons in total
-You aren't supposed to be able to complete the game with every weapon.
-There are no sounds, unfortunately.
-If it is super laggy for you, I can't help it (much). I blame the language!
-Keep the "Assets" folder in the same folder as the executable.
-Windows only :(
-I apologize if anyone in the ghetto gets offended. (Still ain't ticking that box.)
PROBLEMS:
Blurry graphics on Win 8/8.1 (try compatibility mode?)
Failed to play on someones PC (no clue)
1082 lines, done in 48 hours and absolutely from scratch with CoolBasic. CoolBasic is a BlitzBasic based language providing some simple graphics functions and an object system. It's so simple that I had to, for example, create an algorithm that draws objects according to their y-value. The performance is also crap on CoolBasic, so the algorithm is not set to perfect-mode -- expect graphical glitches. Still, CoolBasic is a cool language. Easy to use, but hard to do beautiful projects. That's why completing this compo is actually a huge success in my eyes. The game isn't too bad either, just don't look at the source code (it's baaaad). Graphics were done with Paint.NET and I've included the .pdn-files too.
Have fun and please rate and comment - I love to get feedback!
