Car Race

Race your car, but don't crash!

Color Darts

Use your mouse to throw darts and score points!







Scale2X- Scale2X Algorithm
Sample Image scaled 8x using Scale2X Algorithm. This was done in Liberty BASIC. I am going to add this to Pixel Artist after i tweak it a bit.
First picture is normal 8x scaling. Second picture is scaled using scale2x 8x scaling

Pixel Artist r1

I have started to work on a simple yet helpful pixel art tool.
I created it so that I can make simple graphics for my games. I wanted to share it
so that maybe someone else who just wants something that's quick an simple to
use might find it useful. If you have time, please let me know
of what you think this program might need or could use. Thanks.

Here are some snaps of things I've created with it. They are simple but interesting.

This next two are from my first version I was working on.

Download the source code below.

Bitmap Rotate Tool

A small tool I'm working on that allows you to make a sheet of a rotated bitmap. This makes it easier for making sprites, etc.
This first version is basic.

Test Drive

A small program to shows how you can rotate a bitmap on the fly. Using this method you can create a game with out having to make each separate direction bitmap.
I will post more advanced uses as I have time.

COLORMATCH

I want to share a program I am working on, I would like to post information about it here.
I am developing a small game, simple design, but since I need more programming experience anything I develop just helps give me more skill in my favorite past time. Ok, so I'm developing this game I call Color Match (the name for now, may change later). All you have to do in this game is match up 3 or more of the same color to earn points. Sounds easy huh, the catch is that the game board consist of 5 rings of colored circles that can be turned independently of each other. So instead of swapping two game pieces like in most other matching games this game requires that you rotate the rings in order to match up colors. As you progress through each level, the difficulty of the game increases as the game adds more colors to the game board. After a few levels it becomes more difficult to match up colors. You may notice that any color circles on the outer most rings will fall inward as you match up colors of the inner rings. This is by design. I thought it would make it more fun. I hope some find this game amusing and offer up some thoughts about how I may improve this game.

Please post any comments or suggestions here. http://basic.wikispaces.com/message/list/Ben+Jimenez

Color Match DirectX

Here is a DirectX version of the game. Use the left/right arrow keys to rotate the rings and the up/down arrow to select a ring. There is no indication as to witch ring is selected at this time. Press <Escape> any time to end game. (see screen shot below)
