Particle Dodgers

Experience a fun little mini-game that can keep you entertained for hours on end! With the help of a couple friends and the warm loving embrace of Thehelper.net, I have finally been able to create my first successful game. I hope you enjoy it, and welcome my game to the members projects section of the forums!

Update: version 1.2 is now available!

Have Fun!

Here's how to play:
-Dodge the Dark Green Particles that come from all sides of the map.
-Don't leave the center of the map. If you do you will be killed!
-Run over Blue Particles to revive the last killed player.
-Run over Red Particles to revive your whole entire team!
-Pressing ESC will reset your camera if you scroll by accident.

Features:
-There are no levels. As the game goes on, more and more particles will begin to spawn!
-Unique Runes drop on the floor that can give your unit a temporary burst of speed, or become invincible for a short period of time!
-And an open mind to anyone with suggestions or comments to the map!

Facts & Questions:
Q: I has blinkz!
A: K.
Q: When should I use it?
A: Now.
Q: Why didn't you post any pics?
A: Photobucket hates me.
Q: Where can I get the latest version?
A: Epicwar.com or at the bottom of this post.
Q: Why can't I leave the square?
A: Magical little elves have a barrier around it, containing you.
Q: What's with the riddle at the beginning of the map?
A: There is no riddle as of v1.2!
Q: The game starts to lag when I get close to the end of the game.
A: Get a better computer(Or wait till SC2 to purchase an even better one).
Q: This map sucks.
A: I'm sorry.
Q: I won!
A: Gratz! Here's a cookie.

v1.2 Fixes & Additions:
-Added in a sorting Leaderboard that gives your points for saving teammates and takes points for dying.
-Added in a new dropping rune: Invulnerability Rune.
-Increased the speed runes spawn time from 15 seconds to 5 seconds.
-Fixed a few bugs that added an addition unit to a player sometimes during ressurection.
-Fixed a bug where a particle would move diagonally from its spawn point.
-Fixed up the Terrain to make it look 'less' plain.


Please, if you enjoyed my map give me +rep! Because we all know the bigger the rep, the bigger your "schlong" is, and I'm Asian-- I need it!(bwahaha)

> being asian dosent mean crap online

It was a joke.

>if it starts to lagg for any reason

It doesn't. I was just saying IF it does for some reason that it's not the maps end.(As far as my knowledge goes)

Sorry, I guess my jokes are bad.

Yeah...good game...+rep ;)

Although, if you set the ally vision as mode 3...ALL the vertices are RED o_0...and you can't tell which is the red or blue or green vertices...

The map was really fun to play!

However, you could add even more runes and change their appearances to make separating them, when they spawn, easier.

Also, you could add different kind of spawns who have different effect when you collide with them, e.g some of them slow or stun you, not kill.


Anyway, the idea is simple but brilliant.

Congratulations, this is the map of the week #4!

Hmm... I played a game similar to this... I think it was called 100 levels or something. Same exact goal, haha.

If you want repuation, earn it! :D

Sounds like a fun game that can take away hours of your life. :p I'll try it out when I can.

Wow! What a surprise ^^. I"m so glad you guys liked it. I was afraid the game was of no interest since I wasn't receiving that many replies, but I'm so happy you guys like it!

I haven't really worked on the map since the lastest update, but now I feel obligated(which is a good thing!)!

I'm glad you enjoyed it,

I know this is off-topic, but what's a "schlong"?

On-topic: I like this map. It's really frustrating, but that's what makes it fun!

just a suggestion, maybe some kind of score counter based on time survived? so people can compare how well players did

I had no intention for it to be racist, I assure you! :D


That sounds like a great idea though. I'll definitely add that in for version 3.0-- Thank you!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
