Coin Race!

[SierraKen]

Try to beat the computer in gathering coins between the grid of blocks in 60 seconds by driving your future car around against his future car. Use the arrow keys. After 60 seconds it asks if you want to play again. The score and the time are kept track on the title bar. This is a project I've been working on for 2 days and is the first time I've ever made a grid game or app that is anything like this. It's not perfect, there's some bugs here and there. For example, once in a great while you can get stuck on a block but if you hold down an arrow key you can drive through it, but it's not too often.
Press the S key to turn sound off and on during play. It's a pretty simple game. The computer doesn't have A.I., just random directional changes. So if you can get used to the arrow keys, you can win every time. I might make some kind of A.I. in the future, but I kinda rushed for this first version. But please tell me what you think, thanks.

Nice game SierraKen, a bit easy to win, though. Challenging AI would make the code much longer. Maybe you could try something simple, like storing unpicked coin counts in rows/columns in array and turning the AI car into the one with the highest value on its way direction.

[Ashish]

Good work! Of course, the game AI could be improved and it will be more fun to play it.

[bplus]

Amazing what you can turn into a game!

I have the usual problem of being able to turn on a dime, maybe you can come up with something for old codgers with keyboards that have 4 arrows in the space of 3 keys. (I was robbed!)  :)

[SierraKen]

Thanks guys! B+, I'll add keys to turn for you if you want. Would W, A, S, Z work? Or W,A, D, X?

[bplus]

Thanks guys! B+, I'll add keys to turn for you if you want. Would W, A, S, Z work? Or W,A, D, X?

Thanks but no thanks, I like WASZ system even less, I am severely right handed. :-)

I was thinking press an arrow once = move one step, not shoot off in that direction but something with mouse would be better! (I know you don't want to do things like that, don't worry about it.)

Or press arrows to set direction and use spacebar to take steps, can you even do that?

[SierraKen]

I'm not sure how the space bar would help. Your car moves automatically without pressing anything, you just press the arrow once and it changes direction and keeps going. I might try mouse control as a selection. Like if you press M you can steer with the mouse. I think I'll try that. :)

[SierraKen]

I just tried using a mouse 2 different ways. One just to change direction, which didn't work well at all, the car kept going all kinds of weird ways lol. So then I tried direct control of the car wherever the pointer was and that was not good either, was a mess because it didn't erase the last car's position hardly at all and you could go inside the red blocks. lol Oh well I tried. If there's anything else, go right ahead. Or of course you can add to it yourself if you want. But I'm still thinking about that A.I. a little bit, or maybe adding more competitors if it won't slow down too much.

[bplus]

Thanks for trying Ken, I am trying to help you think of different approaches is all.

I don't know how you guys can turn so quickly down one street or another I keep crashing into red blocks or borders, mostly borders.

AI for car? how to get it to cover whole block with little repetition? Go down one lane, turn and go up next... until whole square is covered then repeat :)

[SierraKen]

I think I got it down pact now. Instead of 1 enemy car (computer) I made 2. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. :D No A.I. needed except it took a lot of tries to get the right number for using Random on how often they change direction. The more often they change direction, the harder it is. Bplus, would it be easier if I added the number pad? 8 = up, 2 = down, 4 = left, 6 = right ?

Bplus, you also might want to slow it down. I've seen before on my stuff that your computer might run faster than mine for some reason. You can slow down the _LIMIT or you can reduce the numbers that x, y, ex, ey, ex2, and ey2 move every loop. They are set on 5 right now I believe. The car is easier to control slowed down I've seen.  _LIMIT is set at 1000 on line 10.

Note: I made an update that changes speed as you like it on a post below.



 

[SierraKen]

This update lets you change speed. It starts out in the middle ( 5 ) and by pressing + or - it speeds up or slows down the game. The slowest it goes is 1 and the fastest is 10. It's almost impossible to play at 10. lol Bplus, see if this helps you play it at around 3 or 4 I bet. I first tried _LIMIT but for some reason that does nothing (I even moved _LIMIT to the loop). So instead I sped up the cars and slowed them down. I think Limit won't speed up the program anymore because of so many FOR/NEXT loops I use. But this is fine instead.

lol Bplus, see if this helps you play it at around 3 or 4 I bet.

Actually for a break, I messed around with the one, 2 posts up, and got the hang of things by not expecting to turn 1 block off from where I'm at, to time it for 5 or 6 blocks down the line, not always a turn but much fewer crashes.

Yeah that happens when it goes too fast. Try my newest code and slow it down a little bit. It should help. If it does help, you can modify the speed variable to whatever number works for you, that way you won't have to press + or - every time.  The speed variable is set on line 19.
