The Unofficial Game Jolt 10-day contest

Forum Listing » Contests Forum » View Topic

  • Our internet provider has gone bankrupt and will shut down my connection in a few minutes.. sorry, I don't know when to decide who won the contest @_@

    Everything seems a bit loose with only 3 games, all of them sort of prototypes, entered.

  • People actually worked on these games. Don't let their efforts go to waste just because there were only 3 of them. We need to decide who won and not let this go like the Music Interpretation contest.

  • I agree on that. Also apparently I've still got internet access.

    Let's figure something out - add me (ThomerDk) on skype and we'll find ShadowWolf as fast as possible.

  • A suggestion for you guys. Download all 3 games and exchange phone numbers (if you need more time than your internet connection can give you, and if you all don't mind sharing that with each other). Then only 1 of you will need internet access to post/message the winner.

    That really sucks if your ISP is just cutting internet within hours of declaring bankruptcy. I would expect them to let you to keep your internet connection until another provider can come in and set you up.

  • I don't have Skype... What's your email, BK-TN? I won't have internet access for the next week or so, but I can email you my top 3.

  • contact@bk-tn.com

  • I'm getting an error from your game, Link. It's not the same error people were getting before, so I assume the new .zip changed something, but:

    "ERROR in
    action number 1
    of End Step Event
    for object control_obj:

    Trying to use non-existing surface."

  • That is just ridiculous. Look at the source; that just shouldn't be happening. I don't dump the surface data either.

  • It's one of Game Maker's worst flaws and only appears at random on some computers.

    Link, you could put up a video of it (Preferably a commentary) if ShadowWolf doesn't get it running.

  • I played on a different computer and it worked for some reason I will never understand.

  • Game Maker has much worse flaws than that. :P

    Good to hear you got it running. I hadn't had any problems on the computers I tested it on (other than FPS on some lower-end ones) so hearing people having errors pop up was irritating.

  • I'm going to rain on your parade again. I downloaded your new version and got this error both times I tried to play (after playing about a minute):

    ERROR in
    action number 1
    of End Step Event
    for object control_obj:

    Error in code at line 16:
               draw_line(o.x/(2*pi)*tw,(-o.y+pi/2)/(pi)*th,o.connected.x/(2*pi)*tw,(-o.connected.y+pi/2)/(pi)*th);
                                                                       ^
