FLASH: Protolob game

[Glen Rhodes]

Regarding the 3 bounce sound effects: I had a design issue there. Because of

the mathematical accuracy of the gravity and bounce effects, the ball

actually hits the ground many hundreds of times in tiny bounces. So, I found

that the sound effects were going waaay too much. So I had to limit it to

three bounce sounds.


Any game improvement suggestions for protolob?? It's a concept game right

now - a demonstration of technology rather than a complete game. So, I

welcome input for the final game release.

Amazing... just a couple of things:


1) When the ball hits the ground surface, only three bounce sounds are

heard... if the ball bounces a fourth time, no sound is heard. Why?


2) I shot the cannonball straight up into the air to see what would

happen... but the shadow closeby didn't change size (smaller, dimmer)... can

you make the shadow a little more faded and smaller depending on the

distance between the ground and the ball?


3) I'd love it if there were a high score list... I spent 20 minutes and got

1010 points, but I don't know if that's terrible, average or good... maybe

you could think about setting a time limit, too.


Overall, it is amazing.  Amazing.

Hi. I wrote a little concept game which uses 3D math, space, scaling,

reflections and shadows. It's based on the classic cannon game in which you

aim a cannon and fire, and try to make the arc of the shot hit a target.

It's the same, with X,Y and Z. It's called Protolob, because you are lobbing

proton bombs... it's a start.


Anyhow, it can be found at

Any comments would be appreciated,

Thanks!
