It's hangman, but with a giant spinning wheel!
Wooot!

Latest Update

This week, more Blitz testing!
Can Blitz handle loading textures that are 512x64 pixels, onto lots of systems?
Only one way to find out!

Spin that wheel!!!

I get the same MAV as last time

As a side note, congrats to Jay for having four showcase entries on the front page simultaneously

Nope, you get a completely different MAV!!

It's probably due to the fact that the main textures are 512x32 pixels, and it's buggering it up.

.
Unless it IS the same issue, in which case your gfx card really sucks, and can't handle bog standard resolutions..

It's kind of weird though because while it's not a state of the art graphics card, it isn't bad either. Handles Guitar Hero III just fine (yeah, when I need simple non-brain requiring entertainment that's where I go ).

They made Guitar Hero for PC?
Never thought to look!!

I'll make a super-res tester thing, or something, see what your system makes of that.

This reminds me of the Wheel of Fortune Game.

You do good work. You're good with BB.

Some of the city names I would never guess, since I'm not from england.

Worry not! There are American, English and Welsh towns in the game.. That way, we're all equally as baffled!

(The Welsh ones are REALLY hard, because your usual "A-S-E" test combos doesn't usually work!!)

I'll make an easier version in the next day or so, with fruit and things in it instead!

Yay! It's working because Jay finally bothered to update his B3D version

That way, we're all equally as baffled!


Almost everyone... I'm not very good at any of those cities Nice game though!

No need to make a easier version. That way I'll learn more.

Anyway, What algorithm did you use to make the wheel spin?
Saturday, 15 November 2008, 16:44
Jayenkai
Um.. Go, go, go, go, go, go, slower, slower, stop..

Spinangle=spinangle+1
if spinning>0 then spinning=spinning-1
if mousehit(1) and spinning=0 then spinning=rand(32,64)

or, words to that effect..

The wheel's made up from lots of small wedges, and are just rotated based on AngleofPiece+SpinAngle

(The wedges are in the system folder)

Ah Yes.

I see.

It seems as thought there is a non beveled version as well.

This method of using segments of the pictures in a single file, I've never understood.

Maybe you should make a tutorial.
