This is Hungry Hare, my entry to Speedhack 2011. {"name":"604531","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/d\/6d45fc2b0c7a639cc997388d773ff1bc.png","w":816,"h":638,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/d\/6d45fc2b0c7a639cc997388d773ff1bc"} [Windows binaries + source code] http://speedhack.allegro.cc/entry/11/11156/1 This .zip contains windows binaries along with the source code. It is the extra version; Its only difference is it contains music. If you would like to know how the official entry is like, just remove file "3ddance.wav" from the /data folder. Please report any problems found. Some feedback is also greatly appreciated. <My Allegro projects> |

Programming note. Where you used: ALLEGRO_EXENAME_PATH, you should have used ALLEGRO_RESOURCES_PATH. On OS X bundles, the two are not equivalent because you have a structure like:
The purpose of ALLEGRO_RESOURCES_PATH is to be a cross platform way to get at that "bundled" data. I played the game briefly. How fast are you supposed to get going? I think my fingers are too slow for the game. |

I found it to be more a matter of proper pacing than speed. Pressing both keys at the same time will prejudice you, so go slow enough that you know you are only pressing left when you released right, and vice-versa. <My Allegro projects> |

Apparently I have problems with the timing too. I've never reached over 5 years or even made it to the lower platform. Good job with the animation, though.

The animation was actually made by a friend. Thanks for the compliment Something is very wrong here... Have you people never played decathlon before? [edit] It still doesn't look that hard, but I guess I'll try to do some tweaking to make the game less tiring. <My Allegro projects> |

It's pretty challenging at first but I got the hang of it after a few tries. Got to 40 years. |

And the bar has been raised. One of my friends has just score 190 years. <My Allegro projects> |

You make it look easy playing with one hand!.

I know! I still don't get why so many people have trouble with it You could also try playing running with both hands. I suggest the left hand on K, the right hand on L or the right arrow and jumping with your left thumb. <My Allegro projects> |

I don't see the need to alternate. Hammering right and left works just fine. 84 years here. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Yeah, but I did play on my desktop too. Took a bit to get used to, but I managed to do just fine. <My Allegro projects> |

Well, I only managed to play it by mashing the keys (about) at the same time. After understanding the game mechanics, I got to live 142 years old. You really need to go fast to be able to jump on a platform. The fat and energy meter are a bit on the 'periphery of my vision', and the colouring of identical sacks wasn't really obvious to begin with either. |

It really wasn't meant to be obvious Glad you enjoyed it though <My Allegro projects> |

I thinks this is a nice game, although as many others my right arm hurts by now (my mechanical switches keyboard at work is not suited for games like these...). I reached age 88 after a couple of runs. As kenmasters1976 pointed out, the animation of the hare is really good! _____________________ |

This is great - fun, well balanced, lots of polish! I particularly like the little animations when the hare hits something. It seems to depend on how high the point of impact is relative to the hare. The combination of hints and billboards does a great job of telling me how to play as I go. -- |

Something pathetic - the years were in the 70s or 80s I think. I haven't had much time to perfect my playing -- |

Well, with the results out I must say I am kinda disappointed at how HH finished up - expected to do better on the Overall category, but at least I got 3rd on propaganda even if the message I was trying to pass didn't really get through to most XD Still, I am proud to have delivered what I consider a decent full submission on the tight schedule of a SpeedHack all by myself, considering my tiny experience with C++. Thanks to everyone who participated in this pleasant event, and to everyone who played and voted for my game <My Allegro projects> |

It's hard to read the billboards when running, which kind of takes away from the actual message being displayed. And that's the thing with SpeedHack votes... to win anything, you pretty much have to be simple and obvious on the first try. In your case, you probably lost a lot of votes due to people having problems getting used to the controls. |
