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...

Glad you enjoyed the game,

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!

a very racist joke lol

nice map though

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!

    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
