He All,

Here's a GEOMETRY WARS style Template for everyone. Hope you like it!

Looks like GameSalad can handle it - on a iPhone 3G & 3GS

This game template demonstrates:
1. Spawning.
2. Scoring, High scores, Multi points for different enemies
3. Particles.
4. Shields, Explosions etc....
5. Speed, Animation

Dig in, enhance and enjoy.

    You've done it again, haven't you mate?

    *twiddles thumbs at work*

    BTW, I love your templates - they're better than some games I've played! Looking forward to seeing a full game from you at some point :D

    Damn it sucks working with Windows! Yeh i can check the forum about 1000 times a day but as soon as someone uploads a game or template i wanna try it but cant! Grrr

    On another note, perhaps the folks at Gendai could give us a section to upload templates to. There are quite a few created now and it would be nice to have them all in one place

    ...Now with a Video :-)

    Oooh- you're a bit good, aren't you??? :)

    There is a way to make the shots shoot in the direction you press with right joystick though, while travelling in another direction... I'm sure I did it at some point, but I'm not at a Mac to check...

    I do like the background anim too :P

    Thanks for uploading a vid, dude :D

    very cool, I only get about 18fps on my 3GS is that about right?

    Good work Wayne, looks like another great template
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    Glad you all like it.

    I reckon I'm going to do a..................

    'House of the Dead' Template next! Unless anyone has any requests?

    ============================================
    I do hope some of you find the Templates useful, I know my son does - he's busy working on lots of Levels for the [GS Geo Wars] Game.

    My motivation for developing the GameSalad Projects at present is not financial, but to demonstrate gameplay mechanics to my son. He sees other peoples games or plays other games on consoles etc and has an healthy appetite to ask how they were built. To demonstrate to him that anything can be done with a little effort, I whip a template together for him so he can see the basics and take it from there.

    Along the way, of developing the templates for him, I thought that others who are starting out or looking for ideas might find the same templates useful.

    It originally started as me trying to teach him Obj-C, but the misty look in his eyes told me he wasn't ready. I would convert some of my other projects to GameSalad for him to learn from.
    Now though, it seems if I create the project IN GameSalad first - THEN show him how to break the components down into manageable logic chunks within Obj-C - the mist in his eyes isn't so heavy.

    Whilst he would like to develop 3D games, it seems the only 3D game he plays on his iPhone is [MiniGore] - Whilst MiniGore is a fantastic game, it is after all only a 2.5D game which CAN be simulated in GameSalad. I'll do that one over the coming months.
    ============================================

    If anyone has any specific requests for a Template, style of game etc, let me know - or start a Poll for a Template request? Any templates will be uploaded for all to see and experiment with.

    Can I request a 'Tempest' style game? :D

    Considering I work for the studio that did HOTD: Overkill, I'm looking forward to the next template! Been thinking of doing something similar myself, just too many games and too little time!

    I know people appreciate these templates mate, and I think it's awesome that you and your son are doing this, as I said at the meet!

    More power to your elbow, sir!

    QS :D

    Fantastic wayne! Funny, i don't remember a cape and visible underwear when we met. I love what you're doing for your son, and your templates. I started a similar projects with my dog, but he's just rubbish. Anyway i'll get a NEW dog, and teach HIM using your lovely templates. Oh wait, he's coming... 'What? No i didn't write that... Well if you just focused!... Fine! Go back to your painting!'

    EDIT : Nudge to the powers that be : Sous-Chef for wayneh001
  • RattleheadRattlehead Member Posts: 485
    @wayneh001: I think that is a great way conceptually to teach Obj-C. Heck, I think you should create tutorials using that concept and put them up for sale. I know I'd be in line to purchase them.

    Great work, and I can't wait to see the next couple of templates either!

    I also second the 'Sous-chef' title for him.

    Thanks Funkleberry, thats one smart dog you've got there! and can't believe you didn't notice my Cape - I'll wear my full mask gear next time! Yikes!

    @Rattlehead: Thanks, I appreciate your comments. And, hmmm, tutorials, templates, paid for template downloads...?

    Wow great job! Thanks for contributing to the community with this template.

    Could you do a template for a game like Tap Tap Ninja or Traffic Ninja(Which is in the games section: http://gamesalad.com/game/play/35416) where the screen scrolls constantly and you have to keep running and jumping avoiding obstacles?
