freedom ball
A downloadable game for Windows
Catch the Fire and Free Paradise Island!
adding a ball to procedural height field caves made a fun game with a simple objective: get to the top of the island. with configurable physics and interactive physical modeling audio synthesis, learning how to bounce around and reach the objective is fairly fun.
controls
this game requires a game controller for stick control.
hold button: bounce higher
you can adjust the slope of the terrain at any point during the first level. afterwards, you can only adjust the slope during the victory condition pause (press the start button to reach the menu).
'hidden' key functions
the V key transports you to the flagpole for instant gratification. doing this with fire for any distance makes it very loud. don't do this loud.
the P key switches OpenGL to render wireframe instead of triangles.

Hey, I can't start the game idk why… On the first screen, where the message "press button to begin" is written, I don't know which button to press to start the game. I tried every buttons on my gamepad (an unofficial playstation controller which works for other games) and every keys on my keyboard. Also, V and P works, but even if I'm transported to the flagpole, I can't start the game…
thanks for letting me know! it's nice to hear the OpenGL code is working!
the joystick is input with standard windows JOYINFOEX, i don't have any error reporting coded for it but it sounds like it didn't detect it for some reason (occasionally mine isn't detected, unplug/plug). the X button/bottom right button/jump button, i think a couple of buttons are in the code.
i should add the error reporting in though, it will make everyone's life easier..
