Fan Fan, Knut Karlsen, Natacha Ruivo: Quick Chick - a Processing game
Over on Fan Fan’s blog I just found documentation of one of the funniest games the students made: “Quick Chick” starring Billy the Chick who must dodge poisonous falling apples and thorny flowers while making his way home before dark.
Quick Chick is a classic scrolling-landscape type game with obstacle avoidance and good gameplay. Graphically it’s so smooth you’d swear it was done in Flash (it’s JAVA2D). And the graphics are some of the cutest I’ve ever seen in a Processing sketch.
Looks great. Will they upload it for online play?
really good!
yeah! i want to play this game online!
where is the website to play that game?!
Hi, nice to see your interest in our game. I’ll try to make a online version of it soon (maybe during christmas). A challenge we had when making the game was fps. We used quite a lot of big png images for the graphics, and to make it render smoothly enough (above 25 fps or so) i had to use OpenGL rendering in processing. So there is quite a bit of optimization to be done before posting a online version (with Java 2D). But i’ll try to post a video from it on my site before that.
Hi, I like this kind of graphics in a game, I am also trying to do a platforms game with
processing and I was wondering if you have finished it now? can we play to the game?
looks great, cant wait to test
