Dodge the Boxes

Here it is. My masterpiece.

Dodge the Boxes (25 lines):

EDIT: Added score counter
EDIT 2: Fixed score display problem
EDIT 3: My best score is 1616 (before I got bored)

[freeskier89]

Really, really nice! I love the game over piece! :D

[kdd]

omg... it's cool...
edit: uses a lot of cpu sometimes...

[jerez_z]

ya I'm trying to think of ways to lower it.......

[scags]

Yeah, lol you almost killed my crappy laptop :P

I'll look at it again when I can be on a computer that doesn't make horrible clicking noises and freeze up and explode when I run it :lol:

[hybrid101]

lags on my computer...it looks very cool though! nice trail effect!:pac:

[jerez_z]

anybody have any ideas on how to reduce lag?

[NiñoScript]

looks really cool, i like that Game Over efect too :D


anybody have any ideas on how to reduce lag?
maybe u can reduce the number of trailing boxes :)

[nobody]

Holy crap you crashed my browser! Definitely knocks off a trailing box or two, I think it'l help a ton. Awesome game though!

[bwh2]

would be awesome if it weren't so cpu hungry.

[Gelatine Cow]

Awesome! I too love the 'GAME OVER' part.:thumb::thumb:

[Deril]

wow..!
impresive!

[jerez_z]

the trailing boxes are all done with the bitmap object.

[squan]

instead of the hit counter you should write a little score counter ... that way we can compare scores. That would top it off.

[Gelatine Cow]

Yeah, what he said ^ ;)

[Pattt]

Really nice! :)

[jerez_z]

ok guys V4 is up. (Note: works much better when viewed at 100% and not in the browser.. if I could free up one more line I could add "noScale")

EDIT: Fixed the score display problems, now scale isn't that big a problem.

[Seb Hughes]

That owns.

[NiñoScript]

2279 pts :D

[calvintage]

i got 285... this is amazing.

[jerez_z]

yes! I might be able to compete with the particle clock

[freeskier89]

Yes! 3011 pts and still going strong :D and I can type this reply while I am playing!

Just resize your brower window and bring the box to the very bottom. I feel smart... or I just thought outside of the box lol.

5366 now!

[jerez_z]

holy.... get a life :crazy:

[freeskier89]

:lol: At least I wasn't able to manually sit through 1616 pts like you! Just kidding. :beam: Very nice entry by the way again

[Seb Hughes]

When i played i had to many boxes flying at me.

[jerez_z]

thats the point

[Seb Hughes]

Yep but like there was no possible way i could dodge them jeremy.

[GNXDan]

500 pnts !

[notsocoolxp]

Awsome. :D
