Hallowmaze

[SMcNeill]

A little game I'm tossing together for Halloween.  At the moment, it's nothing more than the intro screen, what the hey -- maybe somebody just likes intro screens and want to take a look at this one!  :P

More actual game to come, as I work on it over the next week or so....

(Hallowmaze.bas is the file you'll want to compile, and you'll want to check "Save EXE to source folder" in the QB64 IDE run menu first.)

Great picture and music! What is the music from?

Royalty free web search for "creepy Halloween background".  I'm afraid creating music is not one of my personal talents.

The movement routines are now working, as is basic mob and hero placement on the map.  Maps are going to be centered around the hero, and scale by how much of the map the hero can see.  Torches will only give a 3 unit view, lanterns a 5 unit view, and so on... 

Right now, the map is scaled to a nice 5 unit view to help the user get adjusted to the intro operations, but I can adjust that with just a twitch of the settings at any time, for any map.  :D

More to come...

Good Job, Steve. Just for info - after running your original EXE file (without compiling new one in ide) i give this message and first screen is not visible, just next, sound play not.  After compiling new exe file, program start with sound and first screen (menu) and run right.
