Phoenix	I now have a moderately interesting box stacking game. Which is quite entertaining to play around with -- for example building a tall tower and then placing a box between a pair of crates in the middle. However, I have no idea what to do with it. How should I turn this into an actual game? What should I add to make the fun last for more than half a minute? Give me ideas!

HoboBen	I got a corrupt archive error

Phoenix	Corrupt archive? Hmm... Try this one instead.

HoboBen	Running the exe... "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." Maybe my WinRar is old. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Phoenix	Bah! Why does that always happen when I make something in VC++? Let me fiddle around with it a little bit...

Phoenix	The file size just keeps growing, but if it works then it's got to be worth it. Let's give it another try: Link

HoboBen	No luck, sorry. I know for visual basic (eww!) I have to distribute an installer for the runtime library. Maybe there's something available on the Microsoft website? -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Phoenix	I don't want to include a runtime library; I just want the program to run out of the box :/ Why do they always have to complicate things so much? I'll continue trying.

Phoenix	If anyone can bother, then try downloading this first. After that, you can try running my program. Even if this does work, I still need to find a better way of distributing things.

HoboBen	No luck, maybe after a reboot though.
Sun, 30 Dec 2007, 18:00
Phoenix	Oh my god! It works! I've finally managed to fix this damn error! This is the final error-less build.

HoboBen	Fantastix!

Jayenkai	Absolutely! Now that it runs, it's quite fun!

blanko1324	That is really good! I'll try to think of some ideas for you. I'll keep it in the back of my mind. -=-=- My Twitter

JL235	Worked perfectly for me and I love it. Could you compile a version which runs full screen at 1792*1344? I'd like to play around with it again but in a bigger playing area. It'd also be nice if the boxes shoot off in the direction that the mouse is moving so I could throw the boxes around. \|edit\| I especially love how you can place blocks anywhere and it will push those around it further out. One thing I'd change though is that when you right-click to delete the blocks, any new ones you place whilst the old ones are fading out are deleted too. I'd change it so that new ones aren't deleted. \|edit\|
Mon, 31 Dec 2007, 05:00
Phoenix	I could do that, JL. But I still need to come up with a game idea. Brainstorm! \|edit\| I made it 1024x768, that's enough, isn't it? \|edit\|

Dabz	I saw a tetris game that had boxes falling/roll all over the place.... I never actually played it, so I cannot comment on the gameplay... But the screenies looked, well, a jumbled mess! But I think it was a commecial project and sold pretty well. Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

GoliX	Me attempting to build an upside-down triangle. Hmmm, only shows when you expand it :/ .
Tue, 01 Jan 2008, 08:20
JL235	Not as good as mine: This stood for about 5 minutes before the left side collapsed, then the right, and then half of the middle. Then when I was adding more blocks it suddenly crashed (the program not the building)! I presume it was to do with the shear number of blocks I had as it was quite slow too.
Tue, 01 Jan 2008, 09:08
GoliX	I gave up in the end, but I'm gonna try again now . What was your technique for stacking them?
Tue, 01 Jan 2008, 11:17
Phoenix	Wow - that's massive, JL! No wonder it was slow!

magicman	thats pretty good, and by pretty good i mean great! -=-=- Stuff... Yeah...
