You may have noticed the little game in my sig. I just made it for fun, it took about 2 and a half hours. I wanted to attempt an actionscript clone of one of my favorite little internet games, the famous SFCave, better known as "The Worm Game". Why Z-Worm, instead of perhaps F-Worm? Simple, "Z" is by far the coolest sounding letter, especially when said like "zed" the Canadian way.

Self explanitory, click to move, and avoid stuff. The game gets harder as you go along, with the difficulty peaking once you reach about 1400 points. It's almost impossible at that point anyway, so good luck trying to get a high score.

I know the worm segments don't quite line up when you move down quickly, there was nothing I could do about this, save for making the worm fatter, but that made obstacles too hard to dodge.

Don't tell me to add stuff because this is an entirely finished product. Except of course if glitches come up that need fixing.

Still, comments & feedback are appreciated.

Enjoy.

It is full of pixely goodness, nice stuff there Pirate, Currently trying to clone one of your AS toys >_> damm it is hard.

wow thats prettd good like the name too. you should get a server to hold all the hi scores, thenm there would be a goal for them. makes games like these all that more fun. i dunno what sites hold hiscores though.

nice game but what kitsune sayd made sents

Sadly, I know nothing about making working high score tables. If someone can explain it to me in a way that makes sense, unlike most of the tutorials I've found on the subject so far, that would be great. Like, orgasmically great.

576. Arg .

I think I had a downloaded .fla (and .php and so on) template from some website, which I tried to make sense of and put into action.

Needless to say, I failed miserably, but if I can dig it up I'll post it, you might have better luck.




Good game.

I got to 557, at which point I tried to eat some spaghetti and over-pressed the mouse, resulting in my doom.

Add a pause feature?

>:3

Really great! I love this kind of games. Those are ''brushed'' Flash pixels, yes?
Magnificient. What's the Font letter you use?

Brushed pixels?

I am not sure what you're talking about. If you're wondering how I got around Flash's anti-alias, it's actually quite simple. Make sure all your graphics have even pixel dimensions (like, no decimals), and add this actionscript to them:

_y = Math.round(_y)

_x = Math.round(_x)

It rounds off the X and Y coordinates so the object always snaps to pixels. I use pixel graphics a lot for a cleaner look in my games. The font I used is called "BitBold", I forget what site I got it from. The little drop shadows and stuff were an added touch.

you should make power ups ;D
for like-- stuff--

maybe a lazer to shoot out the lil walls
or add mini monsters that move up and down that shoot at you

and get a lil wing man, to shoot at stuff

784.

I beat rusender atleast.
To addicting.

I HATE YOU PIRATE!

What, nobody got over 1000 yet?

Maybe it's easier for me since I programmed it. After ages (minutes) spent tweaking the physics to play just right I suppose I developed a "feel" for the game.

I got.

Final Score: OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg. I just used a meme!
This means im cool now right?!

Maybe if you actually got over 9000 I'd be impressed. The meme alone wont cut it. Here's my current high score, if anyone wants to try tackling the "developer's score".
