Penguin Maze

[wasniahC]

Hi i am going to make a new map it is based on nothing that alreasy exists, it is called Penguin Maze!
the basic idea: there will be 12 players, each with one penguin. you have to guide your penguin to the end of the maze. If you make it to the end first you are declared the winner!
this may seem like a bad idea because somebody might just clik at the end of the maze and think Go penguin go! but i have thought of methods to counter this. also there will be evil animals in the maze and the penguins will have some powers, and these can be used for battleing amongst the penguins. The penguins cant hurt eachover, but can do stuff like throw snowballs etc, and run faster. The animals can hurt the penguins, and if the penguins die, they come back at the base after a ressurection.
There i said it this is my idea
DONT STEAL IT

If you finish it in time you would like to enter it in my contest?

Sweet ass, I love penguins, in fact they are by far my favourite living animal on this planet. I can help you find some good pictures of penguins for the loading screen and such, if you are interested you can even use my icon penguin.

Cool, sounds kinda like a more serious maze map I was working on ages ago and re-started recently, if you need any help with triggering or trap ideas then I've got a few you might like.

 

[wasniahC]

that was wat i was hoping bob, when is the deadline?
great!wotis this penguin icon ? lol
and i wouldn't mind any help with triggering and traps
if this goes big you guys'l be in the development team lol

The deadline is the 20 of Feb. But extensions can be given if any one needs more time.

 

[wasniahC]

Ah ok thanks

 

[wasniahC]

Ok new ideas:
Don't have to make it to end of maze
there will be penguin eggs scattered around!
I will try and finish a trigger that chooses them randomly.
there are 2 types of egg. 1 type (all but 1 egg are this) are duds, the other type is golden egg and if you find it and bring it back to the will you win automatically
the eggs all look the same from the outside
I will have specific nest spots, but is there a trigger that will make it so 22/23 of these nest spots there will be egg type 1 and in 1 there will be egg type 2.
Also that would be quite useful a loading screen icon. Could you help out with that?

i hope you randomly generate the maze... theres plenty of good algorithms for that

 

[wasniahC]

yea i will randomly generate where the different eggs are
and i will randomly generate some of the enemies
i am not randomly generating the whole map that could get confusing

why not? that would be the best way, a randomly generated maze

Makes the map more Replayable.

If you are unable to get it directly like that just go to http://www.freewebs.com/brotherhood_of_the_front/guildcharter.htm

It is one of the newer websites I had created for a guild I was in charge of for Horizons. Feel free to use the other pictures as well, I have no direct use for any of them currently.[/url]

Neat thanks I just need to figure out how to get it as a map icon thing instead of the minimap! : D
Can you get a normal penguin as well?

 

[Malufa]

Just search under the images file of Google and you can find a lot.

i like the first one, help the penguin get to the party! so cute

 

[wasniahC]

hey i am having trouble with a random group (units) how do i make it so that a random group (of units) apears somewhere at the start of the game?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

what?

 

[Dork990]

Kinda off-topic...but okay! :roll:

random group and somewhere, yes we are getting somewhere probably.
Ok first thing to know, create random units or move random units that already exist?
second: random units as in random unit type?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

what the hell are you all talking about? this is supposed to be about those penguin mazeses that 5 year olds do! lol, i dunno what ur talking about but im not sure if this is the right place

 

[wasniahC]

yea its in random UNIT type one is 7 of a weak unit one is 3 of a medium unit and one is a boss. how do i get that to apear when the game starts?

 

[Malufa]

I love penguins.

 

[wasniahC]

dont we all.
