The new version of Air hockey is up and ready to go. Get it at http://tbrn.net/modgirl/Ken's%20games I'd like some feedback on a few points. 1. Since this is the first game where the mouse moves things both vertically and horizontally, do you need a system letting you know that the paddle is in line to hit the puck? We could implement this by a few means, such as a sound that gets louder the closer the paddle is to the puck, as in the jousting game, or different beeps indicating either vertical or horizontal alignment. If you need positional assistance, what is harder--getting it lined up horizontally or vertically? By the way, the mouse button functions have changed a bit. They are: Button 1: sets your paddle to center and closest to you. Very handy! Button 2: reports the puck's speed, x then y, then the mouse's speed--x then y. Negative numbers mean movement left or down. The source code is also included, so if any of u are using vb6 and want to know how to get mouse support, go at it! Also, if you want to modify the game, go ahead--just remember to please send me a copy and keep my name on it along with other credits. While this game has a huge way to go before completion, I hope you enjoy it. I know it's not the strategy game yall crave, but it does push the envelope in some ways. Imagine a game where you use the mouse exclusively for navigation, without any keyboard input. Also, I plan to incorporate mouse support into Wrecking Ball. By the way, if you only play with the keyboard, you might as well not download this version--I only fixed mouse related issues. Next, I'll work on the AI--make him smarter and put difficulty levels in the game and so on, as well as working to make the mouse support better.
