Firstly...
I want to thank the blurtians following me here, for patiently bearing with me during these past days of blurt silence which was as a result of our school exams which commenced last week. Love you all😚
My Playventure
I was brooding lazily through play store this morning after an exhausting night vigil of coding and customizing characters and I came across this game called Ninja Warrior and I finished it. This game, simple as it is, gave me a lot of inspirations a regards my current 2d game project which is a 2d action run and gun game.
Makeup
This game consists of a ninja fighting his way through the dark admist traps, impressingly difficult situations, enemies and most at times through otherwordly creatures and bosses, you complete a level while looking for and collecting Ryku-Ryu scrolls and coins.
What drew me to this game
Some days back I began a 2d game project and was desperately in need of inspiration for a certain complex loop which I ran into while creating one of 'the bad guys' : This bad guy spawns an infinite number of bad guys and bombs while at the same time moving away from the player avatar. I discovered in this game that it is also possible for the ninja to run as the environment spawns itself while throwing shurikens which cannot be exhausted. I put two and two together and created a loop nested in a loop like a 2d array but both runs independently of each other:
eg; for(i=0; i<=100000; i++){
for(i=0; 1<=100000; i++){
//some extra code}
//more code
}}
This has given me inspiration in the creation of characters, special abilities,
complex environments and so on. Am writing a script for an advanced game with a complex storyline and intriguing situations but its going to be in 2d mode. I believe that this game will cause a lot of advancements in 2d technology, am still looking for other games which will spur my creativity and give me ideas but until then, lets finish this code.....
