Planet Bob

Tried it in my Krok Cart - looking sweet!

Looking cool!

 

Is there a change for supporting the Trakball?

You may use any trackball you want in Joystick mode

 

As for native TB support, I won't even try. I hate trackballs. (Didn't we already talk about that? Or where is this Deja Vu feeling coming from? Bob would post "Blasphemer!" next, or? )

And the I'll say "you can use a ST or Amiga mouse instead".

Nice work Manuel! Although I liked the previous version where I didn't keep getting killed all the time.

 

But it's cool watching everything blow up.

 

Fun little quirk: if you lose your second cannon while holding the fire button down and it happens to be on the frame where your cursor is a solid shape (not cross-hairs), you can keep on killing stuff just by moving the now "permanently deadly" cursor over them. It looks like the cursor "sticks" at the last condition that it was in when your last cannon exploded.

 

(And for what it's worth, the arcade version of Colony 7 didn't use a trackball either.)

Sweet looking game, though it seems impossible to really defend the cannons.

 

Are the missiles/ball going to travel in more than one direction?

Thanks for catching that!

Yup. Right now that's just a particle storm to test the collision detection

Later the fighter ships will run strafing attacks on your colony and you have to shoot them as fast as possible to protect it.

 

BTW: Should there be an attachment for your bb update?
