Flight 2942 - BaconGameJam 01

[josefnpat]

Hey folks, I participated in the BaconGameJam 01, and this is what came out of it:

http://bacongamejam.org/jams/bacongamej ... ight-2942/

Code is @ https://github.com/josefnpat/bacongamejam-01

This was done over 12 hours, whereas I spent the remaining 36 hours doing ... other stuff. I will be pushing documentation soon, so please expect it.

Wouldn't mind getting some feedback.

My feedback: started the app, clicked in connect server, choose the only one there, waited one minute and nothing happened. So I quitted. A bloody minute watching stars for nothing

Yeah, I'm having a lot of issues with this at the moment. It's really on and off. Would you mind telling me what OS you're running? And what version of love?

currently working:
josefnpat - Ubuntu 10.04 (my machine)
josefnpat - Ubuntu 11.04 (my laptop)
le_programmer - Ubuntu
TechnoCat - Windows

currently failing:
coffee - ?
SoggyWaffles - Windows
DrSulfurious - Windows

In the end, I don't think it has to do with the OS. Or maybe it has to do with the OS internet connection. Very confusing.


The best way to get this working is to set up a lamp stack, and run it from localhost, and have your friends join in over lan.

it work but the reaction of the ship is way to slow because it seems to first get to the server (the key input for move) and from the server back to player and THEN the move is visible for me. more then 1 sec lag. This should be changed.

Because of this problem i'm unable to rate something The graphics are nice.

You want the "raw" .love.

I'm the piece of OS that is missing. OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leo)

PO2 issues forced me to try it on 0.8.0, but then version incompatibilities kept me from playing.

Ok, I found what I think is a "workaround" but I only know how to do it in ubuntu.

The trick is to have the working directory be the root folder uncompressed from the command line.

e.g.
What works:
love .
love ./
love tests/..
What doesn't work:
from one directory up: love bacongamejam-01
from one directory in: love ..

Basically, if it's from any other working directory, the create new thread doesn't work.

If someone can help me understand why it does this, I'd be grateful.

Extremely unresponsive.
