Sorry for the double post, for the guys saying about this and that where the game doesn't work, I can just tell you from my own experience that compiling python in this manner is a very finicky process, then you sometimes even have issues, like the ones you are having, where the game works just fine from source but not from the compilation, or, the game works from the compilation on *your* system, but you take it to another one and it doesn't. It would be good if you guys to cut them some slack in this matter, because believe me, it's a bit of a pain.

well, in all python games that I see, sounds wasn't closed, it was open: how is it? its not possable to close sounds(put in dat file)?

Hi Kianoosh,
Definitely a great concept! Keep up the work guys! I love games like this and I love what this brings to the table. It gives the player more incentive to make good sure they hit that ball or else, thus adding an element of intensity to it. Honestly, it's quite promising!
I do have a few suggestions though.
1. The panning in the game seems quite jumpy for the genre. The volume step is fine, but the way the ball pans just doesn't quite feel smooth to me.
2. I don't know if there's a key to announce scores or not, but if not can you please add one?
3. The game just kind of tosses you in there without any adue, and so I originally thought I was listening to an intro when it first started.
Also as a side note I'm not sure if the ball gets faster or not, but it does seem like the opponent is able to hit it every time. Perhaps this is just my lack of skill though. big_smile
Keep it up though and I look forward to seeing what this becomes in future!

If there aren't too many sounds, you can just bundle them with the executable.
This isn't so secure, though.
I notice that The great toy robbery found another way to do this.

I still can't open the archive by the way.

2019-03-22 11:55:21

I hope some interesting powerups and alternate boards/characters or special physics are added in the future, to distinguish this from all the other pongs out there.
Nice job getting another game out though regardless, and doing it in python.

Hi there. Thanks for the motivative comments smile I'm working on the update. Added a good bounce sound, You can now indicate where the ai is by listening to his moving sound, added the  s key to check for the current scores, and last but not least changed the movement keys to left and right arrow keys. The update that has arrow keys instead of A and D is already uploaded on the server and is downloadable form the first post's link. But the other updates I mentioned are still in hand. Please give me any other suggestions that you might have. oh BTW, Yeah the ball moving sound is so unnatural and I don't have any others to replace with. The control of the pan is not in my hands, that is the way fmod pans sounds. I might be able to change it a bit but I do not promice to be able tyo do that

thank you for listened to my suggestions smile
well, replace it with showdown ball sound: everything cant be with new sounds

2019-03-22 14:09:13

People want to play a new game. They would go play showdown if they wanted to play something like that. Audio game completely relys on audio therefore one must be creative and different than the other.

Hi kianoosh, i am deffinitly going to look at this, good work

best regards
never give up on what ever you are doing.

2019-03-22 17:08:02

hey any chance of making it multiplay or online play? i can see certainly many a competition being made with a game like this.

2019-03-22 17:59:21

I actually can, But I really can't promice when. Since this game engine i'm working with is farely new to me and I have to get used to it

best regards

yup it's important to get things right first before just plowing ahead. i can respect that totally.

2019-03-22 22:09:28

Or you could plow right down a hole, and then you need a master shovel to dig a hole back out again.
I have tried such things in the past, and failed, of course, but at least I was smart enough not to say that a new multiplayer game would be here in a month. big_smile
@Kianoosh, Is this a good game engine or not?

2019-03-22 23:24:44 (edited by kianoosh 2019-03-22 23:26:05)

Yeah it looks cool
I've been messing with the things and managed to add long shoots that go into the air, and soon have to add jumping to be able to catch the said shoots. The game is also 3d now, which means you can go forward/backward, left/right to defend and shoot the ball in the way you want

hey can we have a bigger pitch? especially for faster shots it just feels like a small square.

2019-03-23 17:46:55

This game don't work, the system don't found a  strange file in folder

ice, fire, water, thunder.

2019-03-23 17:58:03

I'll try it out once the errors posted above get fixed.  The description sounds like a cross between VIPGameZone's Super Tennis and Microsoft's Ear Hockey.  Should be interesting.

2019-03-23 23:10:54

i like this game, is cool.

2019-03-24 22:38:44 (edited by kianoosh 2019-03-24 23:23:05)

I'm sorry for being too late here, I'm now back at home. So would you both, post 44 and 45 tell me what were the errors you were getting, Cause the update I was talking about is now 90% ready. So why not performing the an update with no strange errors?
I wait for your replies, please let me know of any features you want to be coded in a 3d balling game. So I might be able to code some before I update the game. Please note, there's no jumping. Both player and the ai can shoot the ball in the air without jumping because it doesn't go up that high for now. I might add another shooting mode where you shoot the ball high in the air so the aponent needs to jump to get the ball but not now.

This game's name always reminds me of melon balling.

2019-03-25 07:28:17

Kianoosh, while you are busy with the update, can you please add a sound for when you move towards a wall? like a boundry? because i never know when i reached a wall or not?

best regards
never give up on what ever you are doing.

2019-03-25 09:07:03

a sound for hitting the boundries is already added in the update
