I have 4 weeks to make a game - Games

make a point and click about making a game in four weeks.

[QUOTE=Inacio;25886961]2D Platformer. Easy.[/QUOTE] Actually a good idea

Port C++ or C# to Visual Basic, get good grade, be loved by all. [sp]Yes I realize that doesn't make any sense.[/sp]

Make a simple quiz game or something. It doesn't have to anything amazing. Especially in Visual Basic, dohoho.

[QUOTE=Inacio;25886961]2D Platformer. Easy.[/QUOTE] Well actually, the platform collision code can be quite complex.

Pokemon MMO

Since you already have Ammo coded: A FPS, in Quake/Unreal Tournament style.

I made a game once in Visual Basic, took about an hour to 2 hours. It was Darth Vader vs Steve McQueen. You both fired laser and who ever got hit died and the game started over. It was 2 played WASD controls for player 1 and Arrows for player 2. All you need is simple hit detection. I handed it in as one of our 3 needed programs. Although our class is full of retards whilst they were making lottery programs or wage calculators i was making games haha.

might as well make a rough prototype of fuck shit up, it has to be made eventually.

Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Go.

Make a shmup. They're easy to make. You don't have to deal with physics or anything dumb like that. Just a thing that moves in 8 directions and shoots stuff. Now, if you want to make a GOOD shmup, that will take you about 4 years.

3 different squares racing, the winner is random and you get to choose what a square should be named :3:

Good luck.

Easiest thing that could still be fun would probably be a retro style top down shooter where you're a plane or spaceship or something. It's simple and if done right, can be quite addicting.

Make a action game, as soon your character does a "action" the game will go slow-mo and you gotta press a series of letters/numbers

just make an ascii turn based strategy game

Aliens, 'nuff said.

A turn based trench warfare strategy game, with simple graphics and only a few units.

Turn based games would take a lot longer and be a lot more difficult than a game where everything is moving in real time.

Remake fuckin doom, with new levels n monsters n guns n shit.

I created this abomination in 4 hours and I have already made $153 with it : [url]http://www.kongregate.com/games/Matoking/epileptic-headsmashing-game-2000-deluxe[/url] The sad thing is that I broke the win condition at some point and haven't bothered to fix it. Moral of the story: Create a game that has flashing lights and monotone gameplay.

I started programming a character movement engine that's where it hit me.... I can't rotate the fucking sprite unless I make the image a picturebox so I did that, and it wont move Seems anytime there's a picturebox in the scene the movement controls don't work I fucking hate visual basic 5.0 >: Might just do it with a newer version or in another language

Splish 'N Splash: Dildo Warriors.

It's been nearly a week So far, I've got working ammo, a single working gun, 2 zombies entities that walk towards the player that the player can kill and i'm only at 300 lines of code so far, each zombie that I add adds another 50 or so lines because unfortunately I cannot do a simple instancing technique with visual basic 5.0. Am going to add an rpg system which has multiple skills which gain experience and level up on their own, as well as a general level/xp system which will affect the progression of the game/the zombies.

Congratulations. I wish you luck on your journey to make a game in Visual Basic in 3 weeks. I think we'd also like to see the end product when you're done! :smile:

The most important question here is: Why the fuck does your school teach VB5?

Make a text based adventure game

[QUOTE=rakkar;26056912]The most important question here is: Why the fuck does your school teach VB5?[/QUOTE] Our school teaches us Pascal. :saddowns:

Who the FUCK uses VB this days?
