Game Maker? Sounds interesting. I'll have myself a peek on Wikipedia on my lunch break. I'd like to try my hand at RTS.

myself and someone else had started this, but due to inability to contract enough of the right help, it never got finished

Ok, thanks yall for the comments. First:SEAKING9006 Game maker is awesome, you can even make 3d games such as FPS's. But I have to warn you, RTS's are VERY difficult. Ive tried it....and failed. They have been done a lot, but few are very good. (With the exeption of a game called "Battleships Forever" which has 1000+ responses on the gme maker forum!). Thnaks to all of you who took the time to download and review the game, I really appreciate that. Yeah, The par has already been raised to 72 for the new version, dont worry. Some of the bugs and graphics have been fixed in version 0.7 (scheduled to be realesed this weekend, Ill keep yall posted) The sounds where stolen form a other puttputt game, (I gave credit however) And I plan to take a trip to the local puttputt course to record some custom sounds. Also, I am currently negotiating with someone to make the music for the game. As for the friction, I have played around with this a lot. I forget if this was changed for the new version, but I think it feels pretty nice with version 0.7. I even have Newton's 3rd law implemented, so when the ball hits the wall, It loses some energy. Fnord!!!! You're a gamemaker also!!! Cool. I hope I answered all of the questions. But if not, feel free to give more feedback.

Yeah, I made a decent platformer engine then got stuck trying to implement super mario galaxy-type gravity. I know how to do it, but the code needed for my version will be ridiculous.

I still work on stuff occasionally, but I don't know enough higher level math to make really good games.

I have found pre-calculus to be UNBELIEVABLY helpful even down on the TI-84+ level. I had the beginnings of a 3-D graphics engine going, just working on getting the calculus ironed out and implimenting a buffer and a map system (it was generating 2 wall panels and they were hard coded) when I was hit with a RAM reset. I only had an old, early and obsolete version (which was almost an entirely different system) saved in the archive as a backup and it was using the wrong math for generating maps that could support movement. So, I gave up on writing a BASIC engine.

Ah good old gamemaker I remember those years on highschool

Par was indeed too high.
Bridges arent that hard, you just gotta go though the center, but still way above par. Lvl 9 took 20 hits.

Now to make it more exciting introduce some hyper ninja killer alien space zombies of doom and you've got yourself a game.

Yeah SEAKING9006, Ive done some BASIC programming, untill by old 83+ got stolen. Yeah, I know the par was too low, It has been changed to 72 in version 0.7

I have released the new version, 0.7. It has many improvements, so please try out the new version and comment on it. The link is still the same, but here it is again
