Pwnyz - Accountants vs Ponies

[OOBradm]

Hey all,
I'd just like to spread the word that I finished programming my first game using C++ and SDL.


Its a tower defense / RTS game, isometric view, smallish 17MB download.

It's for the 4elements contest over at www.gamedev.net. In the contest, they give you 4 elements to build a game based on. This year, they were Ponies, Accountants, Crystals, and Explosions.

I spent a solid 4 months working on the game, so if you have some free time, i would LOVE to hear feedback from people (its a smallish 17MB download, and runs in a window).

Thanks!
Brad

It gets a lot of unhandled exception errors.

Ran out of time at the end to debug.

Give me your tetris code from 4 years ago

didn't take long for me to get an error, but dear god, those filing cabinets are hilarious!

great idea! :laugh:

keep crashing if I clicked repeatedly to move my Accountant back from the "firing range" / hot zone.

I couldn't figure out how to change guys, but it didn't matter anyway, as it would crash before the ponies ever made it into the buidling anyway.

Maybe I will try it again tonight. Good job with the game. Much better than any game I ever wrote, even if I couldn't get it to work right. It has been about 15 years since I have written a game, so maybe I will start again in my spare time; maybe finish some of the concepts I started back then but never finished. It could be fun.

OP, can you fix up the bugs? i REALLY want to play this game the farthest i've gotten was round3 before crashing

You should really handle your exception errors. It's bad having them unhandled.

I'm glad you like it minus the crashes! I have plans to fix up the bugs, i just have to get myself motivated once the contest is over....

Ive been banned so i couldnt reply to this sooner, but OP thats a pretty nice game youve made there, i like the music in it, it reminds me of the sims 1. Good stuff! :thumbsup:

Oh also, with vista x64 it works pretty well, only seems to crash if i click the red X at the top right, and oncetime when i used a different guy.
