I have uploaded the main game of BlockMania. Check it out, you need an editor to play your levels!

I have posted my game into YoYo Games. Check it out!

Ramp (Blocks 3 & 4) When a block moves to this ramp (if free of collisions above, the top left of this block), this blocks moves diagonally up.

Yes, I made these using Game Maker 8.1. I didn't buy the Standard version.

Wait, the Yoyo Games logo...

You aren't using GAME MAKER, are you?

Garygoh884 13 years ago

OK, I have released the new version of my editor. Here is the link. I have added the import/export functions.

SPOILER

Crystal Block (Block 12): If a color block is cleared which is adjacent to this block, this block is cleared. Necessary to complete.

Magnet (Wall 2): Blocks can't be moved while on the top of this wall.

Garygoh884 13 years ago

Yes. My editor has 10 different colors for blocks. I will deploy this game for testing if I develop the level code system and walls.

Nice Bump! I like the editor, but how we can test?

Editor in Progress
Here is the editor that I am currently working on. I'll implement the import/export function after the next upload or so.

I made this editor using Game Maker 8.1L, so I wish I would upgrade to the Standard Edition, but it's costly.

SPOILER

Controls

Left Mouse: Insert Tile
Right Mouse: Delete Tile
Mousewheel Up/Down: Switch between Tiles
Middle Mouse: Switch Tile Type

That's what I meant Birjo, :p, It could have been different in some countries.

@Everyone, don't know where I should post this, but I'm thinking of making an Ipad/possibly Iphone app where there are blocks like in Blockoban, but instead of dragging the blocks to move them, you have to rotate the screen (with a button) to let them fall into place (normal gravity is in effect, though I may make some block to change that).

Sound like a good idea?

@SimonM: Actually, you don't have to at all. You can claim copyright without the need to register it anywhere. It's a different story with Trademark though.

Garygoh884 13 years ago

This game includes level importing, which is the same as these games on BL. I had implemented the level coding system while I'm developing.

DY, you don't have to send it to a patent office in some countries

Magic_X 13 years ago

It just makes it look official :P

demonicyoshi 13 years ago

I like the flow chart.

but why is it copyrighted? Did you actually send it to the patent ofice and get it copyrighted?

Sad but true.

It's not like we care for the script, we care about the game itself!

Garygoh884 13 years ago

Here is the piece of script for an object:

SPOILER

if action_if_collision(x,y+1,0)=false
inair=true
else inair=false
//Move options, when selected
if selected=true
{
if mouse_x<x-1
{selected=false
global.movedir=-1
global.movetarget=id
action_timeline_set(timeline_moveoff,0,0,0)
}
if mouse_x>x+33
{selected=false
global.movedir=1
global.movetarget=id
action_timeline_set(timeline_moveoff,0,0,0)
}
}
//Move phase
if id=global.movetarget
{
if action_if_collision(x+2*global.movedir,y,0)=false
x+=global.movedir*8
}
//Process to drop blocks in air
if inair=true && global.drophold=false
{y+=8
global.movelock+=1
}

That's a very long and complex script!

Garygoh884 14 years ago

I have implemented a flowchart so that I won't mess up with complex scripts, as shown here.

I tried Gamemaker... it confuzeled me...

looks cool garygoh cant wait to play it

gamelover101 14 years ago

Looks interesting, can't wait to test! :)

Garygoh884 14 years ago

Like BLockoban II. This game features some items which doesn't include in BLockoban II, crystal blocks and 8 colors instead of BLockoban's 6. (game in progress) Although I have disconutinued my previous Game Maker 8 game, because I have messed up. I made only one room for the prototype version to test my scripts and objects for errors. These scripts and codings are much more complex (as of thought).

gameinsky 14 years ago

Looks fun, what is the goal of the game ? how does it play ?

I'm working on this game very hard and I wanted to share a footage with all of you! I worked this project via Game Maker 8 and spent loads of hours to correct scripting errors.
