New little game for this community: Seasaw Circus
« on: September 14, 2008, 11:38:10 am »
(from readme.txt)

SEASAW CIRCUS:

Freeware. No warranty.

Version 2.0 Alpha 1
- First Release

Purpose:
 - A Little remark from a old arcade game by Exidy (you can find the Rom's on MAME site).
 - Since it a version 2.0, This because I (Space Fractal) have created a java version,
  of the same name. Hence this is why I kept the spelling in the title name.
 - A 100% cabinet friendly game without any onscreen config or such (they are hidden).
 - This game is released as GNU and all source code is included.

To Do (I WANT HELP FOR THE GRAPHICS):
 - Working Hiscore. You cant insert your  name yet, but there is a hiscore feature.
 - Better graphics which all taking from either java version or c64 version of it.
 - Sound FX (there is none).
 - Ideas by you

Control:
 - Mouse, Spinner (X axis only)
  If you press LEFT BUTTON to start a new game, the game autochange the control to
  the mouse and disable joystick in that game. LEFT BUTTON is used to switch side on
  your seesaw.

 - Analog Joystick (digital and 49 way joystick is >NOT< supported)
  If you press any JOYSTICK BUTTON to start a new game, that button would been auto
  assigned as your switch button to turn around your seesaw (and disable the mouse).
  The game does also auto change the joystick port, you have pressed that
  JOYSTICK BUTTON to. BTW you can play the game using PL2 analog joystick, as long
  the button is also used the port too.
 
   = A Perfect game, if you do not have a trackball, but have a UltraStick
    (Ultimarc) instead. Remember to change it status to analog before play.
 
THERE ARE NO JOYSTICK MODE SETTING IN CONFIG, DUE IT AUTO CHANGE AUTOMATIC BETHEEN
JOYSTICK AND MOUSE. HINCE IT NOT INCLUDED THAT SETTING IN CONFIG.INI

Credits & Quit:
 - Credits and Quit is assigned to same key as the arcade emulator MAME does.
  "5" to add one credit (as default, changeable)
  "6" to add two credits (as default, changeable)
  ESCAPE to QUIT directly (but save hiscore etc).
 
  These keys are NOT remmap able, but since these are so called M.A.M.E (TM) defaults,
  you should have no problems to fit it on your M.A.M.E. cab.
 
  PL1 Start is NOT used on this game, hence it can autochange MOUSE / JOYSTICK mode.
 
Config:
 Open config.ini in your notepad application and change to feed your need. There are
 description, what they does.
 
Released to:
 Build Your Own Arcade Controls (http://www.arcadecontrols.com)

Best Regards by
Space Fractal



Why release with source?
- I have this on my harddrive for a while very long time, but since I still wait for the graphics I dedicated release with the C64 graphics instead.
- Is not a paid project, just a little fun project.

Thanks SP,
I will download it and give it a whirl.

<Edit>
Well, I gave it a whirl and it works pretty nicely.  Was not able to get it to work full screen, but that's probably due to my wacky resolution and screen rotation.  Works fine in windowed mode.
Thanks again SP

which resoulutions do you use? I know this game dosen't support 16:9 resoulutions. I do not have a plan to support vertical yet.

But this game is in alpha, so it not really finished. I hope to get hiscore to work propenty and not just show it.

I have never heard back again, mightbeen because I was to slow to answaer the pm from the user who want to create the graphics?

Hence I bumbed this thread, but list do NOT add this game to the officiel list until I got some graphics, which I would give full credits to. First after tbat I finish the game with the hiscore.

So by now it by hold.
