BlameThePixel!

You really have to just try this. I can't think of anything more to put here.

oh yea

Thanks. Please do not post a daft question in this thread unless you have already tried the demo. I'd love to hear suggestions, the full version will of course have a level editor.

man that took me a long time!

vn game. very funny idea and then nicely executed.

Heh, Angelus made that level, you don't even want to know about Unknown X's level...

got it in about 5 tries, nice game. lol, now to try the other levels...

cool game, what'd you make it with?

I fully hand-coded it in Visual Basic.

I also forgot to mention that if you have problems with it, you may need to download this and put the files in your system folder. You'll also need the VB6 Runtime Files.

i like it

Very, very funny! Will the full version be free?

Of course. Development's sort of stopped due to apathy, so I might just release a simple level compiler for now..

cool man

Isn't Visual Basic hard? I've tried some, but I can't understand it so easy, the syntax isn't like C/C++...

It's not too bad, obviously it's in Basic so it's very different to C. I've been meaning to start on C++ again, but give me time... I just ditched ASP for PHP which I see as a good thing. Small, simple bit of code:

'check for success
If evilleft = 0 And Not firsttime Then
firsttime = True
lblOutput = "Success!"
cmdReset.SetFocus
End If

If the game has been started and no evil worms are left, stop the game, put the text "Success!" in the label and set the keyboard focus onto the reset button.

I find VB easy to make quick programs because of the simple form designer.

VB is pretty basic really, it's a keywork language with very few non-word constructs, the only ones i can think of apart from the operators are : and _ and i dont even understand how they work, something to do with spreading over multiple lines, main advantages are that the VB studio supports line by line parsing for debugging purposes and the MSDN disc has a very comprehensive help listing of all commands with examples.

do
text1.value = text.value+' ReadMe Rules'
loop while true

only qualm i have with it is the lack of coding shorthands, like ++ += *= etc

I think it's so annoying that VB uses capitals and no semicolons! And I like a } better than an "end".
