Dungeon Smasher Mini Edition

DVega — Fri, 11 May 2012 07:16:00 +0000

This is a demo of the old Dungeon Smasher game. I'll find the full game and upload it here as soon as I can.

From what I see, your goal is to complete objectives to reach the next floor. In the demo, they don't give any clues. Die and start over again.
Arrow keys to move
Z to roll
X to attack

Battle Fruit II

Pham Brothers — Fri, 11 May 2012 02:13:00 +0000

The idea for the title was Battlefruit 2: Attack of the Mechafruit. The concept is that all the enemies are mechafruit, fruit who have been infected with technology.

Sequels to Non-Existent Games

Gordius 2

Techie31415 — Fri, 11 May 2012 00:40:05 +0000

Gordius 2 is a game about many things:

Survival.
Battle.
Puzzles.
and not getting your head bit off.

This is also a sequel to the original Gordius, the famous
game which wasn't made in 1973.

In reality, this game was made for the SJSU Game Development Club as an entry to the "Bad Sequels to Non-existent Games" challenge.
While this has been coded in C#, a fairly modern
programming language, it still keeps elements true to many old games- it runs in a console, doesn't use color except in certain places, has some cutscenes that are too long, and utilizes a programmer who both has a strange idea of what humor is as well as who can't figure out how to use libraries.
Backstory: see http:\\neilbickford.com\Gordius.htm (to be filled in)

Includes a somewhat cheating 'proof' that the variant of Sokoban used is not in NP!

Unfortunately, this game is Windows only, but it would probably work in Mono.

5/3 Meeting Summary

gorbino — Fri, 04 May 2012 18:43:52 +0000

As usual, the very awesome Kristi has provided us an excellent summary from last night's meeting, which can be seen here.

Now, on to some quick updates if you are too lazy to click the link.

The Burn Out Gallery was a huge success! The turnout was amazing and everyone who stopped in definitely enjoyed all the hard work the students put out! A HUGE thanks to our Overlord, Kris, for supplying the pizza and drinks. We will definitely do this next year!

Next week's meeting is the FINAL MEETING of the semester. Please do not come to room 241 the week after that. While we do admire your enthusiasm for the club, there will be no meetings that week because it is finals week.
