Readme & Controls (Full readme included in zip file)


Aim Of The Game


The aim of the game is to Avoid attacks getting you, get the powerups and win the race.


Controls


Menu : X = Advance to next screen


Game :


X = Accelerate - (HOLD) This acceleration is modest to say the least, your best best is combining it with power ups and the "L" key.

L = Speed Boost - (TAP) This will give you a slight speed boost, that when combined with the "X" key will make you go faster.

R = Block Attacks - (TAP) Tapping this key as your just about (literally) to be hit, will stop the attack from slowing you down.

R = Use Power Ups - (TAP) Tapping this key as your just about (literally) to revieve a power up (mushroom) , will give you a nice short speed boost.

Start = Pause the game - Press "X" to resume

[zx-81]

[ICE]

looks very nice.

[yaustar]

You have a small error on line 1270.

if Donkey_Kong_Timer == 7 and Race == true then
Donkey_Kong_Frame = Luigi_Frame + 1
end

You also load the kart images three times?

Edit: Bear in mind, I am at work so all I can really do is look at the source to see how it is played.

[The King]

nice man and if u need a beta tester i will be willing to help any one with anything

[-Xandu-]

[DarthPaul]

Woah Zion your games are the best. You're an excelent coder,gonna download this now. Hehe looks funny but awesome.

[CaptainMorgan4]

[TCLCloud]

really short, graphics are okayish, sounds is all over the place (liked the lost hatch countdown!).

it would be nice to see this game expanded with more characters, proper weapon usage and better tracks

[Airdevil]

The game looks great zion!

Hows the whole lost brother situation? Because i thought you were stopping coding to focus on that.

Nice release Zion. Keep up the great work!

[zaiser]

Thank you

[dark heart]

why would you make a 2-d clone of a 3d racing game?
sorry, but i really think people need to do their own thing, unless it surpasses the original :D

[Baboon]

Judging by the attached screenshot this looks like a really good homebrew game (the character sprites look excellent). :thumbup:

I’ll download this after work and give it a blast. ...good work fella! :D

I would say this looks like a PSP 2D homage to mariokart (not everything has to be in 3D lol). :) ...and besides don’t diss this game (unless you think you can do better?), in their own time these people have created something for us all to enjoy for free!

It's alot better than what most official games though, just direct ports with maybe a few extras...
Atleast Zion had to do almost everything himself.

Anyways, looks like a good game. I'll have to try it sometime :thumbup:

:confused: I thought you had learned not to steal.

Don't act like you didn't say wandria was cancelled. If you want to say it is no longer cancelled, then that's fine, absolutely no problem, but claiming you never said it is continuing your nice long streak of lying:

sorry to everyone who was looking forward to the game (you can try the alpha at least)


i cant keep up the way i am financially and am having to forget coding to get a full time job again.


is me admitting im not a talented enough coder a good enough excuse? or do you want me to embarress myself further?

+ i think finding out you have a brother after all these years is a little more important that coding a game for the psp


im quitting cus im not talented enough. want me to put a huge sign in my sig or something. give me a break ****ing hell

It looks nice at all, but c'mon man.

Yet again your going off topic to bring up things that i have done wrong in the past and you have chosen to bring them up here, totaly offtopic to try and ruin what is a nice thread.

Maybe learn to use the "Private Messaging" feature next time?

Thanks a lot. i just hope users ignore that post as i intend to do

ONTOPIC :
thanks to everyone who posted on-topic (which is about the racing game and NOT wandria) and liked the game :D

[XioN980]

quzar: You make some very valid points but perhaps PM zion next time, its never nice to have a release thread spoiled by bringing up the past and starting a controversy. I know it, you know it and zion knows it, keep it on topic ok govena'

[mesosade]

hehe nice job zion :D

I'm not the one who brought it off topic. You were quite pleased to repeat the "fact" again and again that you never said wandria was cancelled. That is bold faced lie.

The last PM convo I remember having with you started with you sending me a message that was more profanity and threat than substance. I woul much rather hold any discussion in public to make sure that you keep civil, if not honest.

[Panini]

Ladies put ur handbags down!

Lets just all just play nicely and enjoy this new homebrew creation. :)

Right I admit it was cancelled and now it isnt. there happy ? your right i fully agree, whatever.

now can we please stop discussing wandria and talk about this game. thank you

[tallica]

Good job zion!

[titch.ryan]

great release glad youve finished a game lol

[xg917]

lol, great game dude! ^_^
and this jsut crossed my mind... 2D super mario 64.. lol..

[Gizmo356]

Isn't it a DCEmu rule to keep threads especially news threads on topic? and doesn't you dragging this off topic kind of contradict with the rules of the site?

[Zion]

Im planning on recoding it in c and adding new features such as a difficulty level, even better AI, and more levels.

The only reason it was coded in lua was for ease and fastness of testing

Please post here or pm me with ideas for the next version

[I_hate_firmware]

that looks really sick.

[BlueCrab]

To all who have been flaming each other in the topic. STOP.

That is all.

[JKKDARK]

I don't see people "flaming" on the thread. Or did you delete these posts?

[quzar]

Yea, there were one or two that were clipped out.

[Broadus]

Neato!

[pspfan]

Please post here or pm me with ideas for the next version
My suggestions basically fall under the category t make it more like the 2D Mario Kart Super Circuit game for GBA or the 2D Super Mario Kart for SNES.

It'd be cool to move around on the track and have turns, instead of being in a line (this could be another "mode" of play). Also all the different weapons could be usable.

I think those features would make it more fun. Anyway good job.

[wraggster]

Please do not change the original newspost so it messes up the PSP News front page.

Also to those flaming, i havent read any of it and dont want to but anymore and action wil be taken by me to those involved regardless of who they are.

Time for all to keep totally on topic or keep out of threads that dont concern them.

[titch.ryan]

bit disappointed with this game but it could be improved by adding movement around the track, more powerups and better tracks.

anyway hope you continue developing this.

[Sp3ct0r]

Oooh..cool, gonna try it.

[parkermauney]

Could use work, but who am I to talk! :P It would be awesome if you added Directional movement!

[stotheamuel]

It's pretty fun. :)

[aznTerz]

is it that good?
i might try it...

[Kevaughn]

How exactly do i upload this to my psp cause I did and it stated currupted data.

[JKKDARK]

[Necro Star]
