Title: Bocking Game!! (iphone/ipod touch)
Post by: Spud on November 05, 2009, 10:52:01 AM
I know this has been posted elsewhere but it's awesome! So I will post it here incase you havn't heard yet.

I haven't got the app yet. No memory on my ipod but I think I will have to check it out just because it's a bocking game lol. It is iphone/ipod touch only. I doubt it will be available on any other platform  :Cwink:

Info,screenshots ect:

Hopefully the app will do well and if nothing else advertise the sport a bit. But the way these guys crash in the video I don't know if anybody will want to take it up :D

Awesome game :) very fun... not as fun as bocking though.

Im going to give it a go so that i can transform the settings to a computer format so you can have it as a flash file.
Anyone know what the legal aspects of that is?

DC do you know how to code? its not just about 'transforming the settings'

;)

You'd be best to talk to the author who is on the 'other' forum

Hes called idiwo 'http://www.idiwo.com/'

It's not quite perfect but then none of the early skateboarding games were either.
I think this is great, looks totally playable!

on the subject of recoding it, could try the iphone simulator, you can get it as part of the xcode iphone dev tools (osx of course)

if anyone wants a bockin ggame on  any other platform, get working on it  :Claugh:

Hi guys!

We hope you enjoy with our game.
   
If sales will be good we will port a version for pc\mac and web-based version too.
   
I hope that our game will attract great attention to this amazing sport.

If any questions - feel free to ask.

BTW, we still looking for some stilts-maker company for become a sponsor of this game.

if you're plannign on a pc/mac version? why no linux one? seeing as it's very similar to osx in terms of programming, just a thought of course.

You can reformat it though going though the system and changing it, may need to re-make some graphics though.

Just wondering, would you allow me to try if i keep all the game as you made it? Just transfer it to flash?

Its impossible due to technical site.
OpenGL ES, C#, C++ and engine ...

alrighty then, but if it's only done in C/C++ and uses opengl there shouldn't be much difficulty porting it

well i couldn't say, don't have the source for it :D shouldn't be too hard though, unless it's all based on the modern osx stuff, instead of using oldschool UNIX based code

Lol DG or you could wait till they do it themselves,

You thought about maybe jsut decoding it all and adding your own in, wont be to difficult... just rediculously time consuming and take alot of work.

if you're talking about dissassembling it, a: wouldn't work, and b: slightly illegal in the copyright sense etc as it's a comemrcial thing, so no

Thats why i don't plan on doing it, and i asked what legal things there were, so thanks :) anyway i don't have enough time or knowledge of game coding to do that, especially for an iphone :S
Id die of confution :P

I thought you said you were doing media law?
Title: Re: Bocking Game!! (iphone/ipod touch)
Post by: dark-castles2 on November 06, 2009, 12:42:06 AM
I am, but my brother designs computer games, and has been since he was like 15-16, and he is now 28... so he taught me loads and been brought up with him making games, and showing me how they work.
Media law doesn't involve games, its photography and movies... looking to start work in film industry making sure they dont break the law.
Dunno which answer you wanted so said both :)

The only glaring problem with it is the timing of the jumps. it is possible to jump on the game when you couldnt for real. it shouldnt be instant. it should be at the end of a stride if you understand me?

First version was "like in real life", and we face with a problem: it was very slow and boring game.
arcade game play is required, unfortunately.

I would get this and a Ipod Touch, if the Zune HD didn't come out.
Currently saving up for one, perhaps you guys should port it to the Zune HD when the new XNA comes out.
