Trackballs Beta Test
Post: #1
Hi all,
Nice to drop in on iDG again - I didn't manage to enter uDG 2011, but I enjoyed playing all the entries - well done!
In the meantime, to rediscover my mojo (and start a project I have a reasonable chance of completing), I've been working on a Mac port of Trackballs - a Linux game in the style of Marble Madness. It's nearly done, and I'd be grateful if anyone was able to download and beta test for me. You can download Trackballs from http://www.pyramid-productions.net/downl...kballs.zip (29 MB). If you have any questions, please first check the Manual.pdf, otherwise please post any problems, comments, questions etc. to this thread.
Thanks in advance!

Very nice!
Couple ideas:
* should the release of the space bar trigger the jump, or should it be as soon as it's pressed? I can see advantages to both.
* I got way to the end, and then died at the goal... frustrating, but I suppose it's okay... I got too excited
* It seems a slower, more deliberate game than the original Marble Madness for sure. Not sure how you're hoping to tune the gameplay, but if you want something closer to the original Marble Madness, the time has to be pretty short, and the controls would need to be a little sloppier... but as it plays today, I like it

All too often, art is simply the loss of practicality.

Thanks for the feedback.
I should also add that it will run on 10.5+, 64 bit only. If anyone has a need for 10.4 or 32 bit that could be done, but it would bloat the download, so I figured it's not necessary...
Cheers

Posted a new build at http://www.pyramid-productions.net/downl...kballs.zip that fixes the reported missing dependency problem. Can you please give it another go and let me know if it works or not?

It runs for me.
I think jump should be triggered when pressing spacebar rather than when releasing it. The Data should be inside the application bundle as well.

Thanks!
I'm not sure about the data directory - it's certainly possible to put the dir inside the bundle (in fact this is what I started with), but it's not so nice if users are wanting to add more maps using the map editor, or music etc. that they can't see where to put it...

They can't [necessarily] write the app bundle, so you shouldn't rely on that anyway. Give 'em a way to load and save to any old place.
