Software spawned from the GameLib project

This is a game Tor Jarle, a study-buddy, made to demonstrate overhead games using GameLib. It is basically a clone of the good old Gauntlet with a few adjustment to the ruleset and input-system. I think it worked out pretty well, and the game turned out to be quite enjoyable.

The control system needs a short introduction. When you move towards an enemy you'll automatically hit the enemy you are moving towards. If you stand still or if an enemy sneaks up on you from the back, you will be hit.

This is a racer game I made to demonstrate how to make racer games using GameLib. The game grew as I got more ideas on that I wanted to add to the game. To mention some of the ideas I added to the game, I could say an interesting menu-system (needs to be seen in motion) and an input-system I haven't seen something similar to in other games for mobile devices. In addition to all of this, the game even has multiplayer support over bluetooth.

This is a strategy game I made to demonstrate strategy games using GameLib. In this game you play as a black ants trying to eradict all the red ants from the map. One can buy new units at anthills and you collect resources from aphids. After a fight these aphids can also be used to give some health back to the ants. The movement radius for ants are determined by the ground type, something which is shown when you select an ant. The AI of the opposition is quite advanced, inspired by the first Advance Wars.

A clone I made of Mario to demonstrate the possibility of making platform game using GameLib. The first level of the original Super Mario Brothers game was recreated with the exeption of fire throwing and pipes.

In order to demonstrate shooter games using GameLib I tried to translate a game I made earlier for Flash, namely Fire!. I had to conclude that this translation would not be complete because of shortcomings in hardware on mobile devices. A lot of enemies would have to be cut and the animations would not have been that impressive anymore. Although I was able to take it quite far with realtime rotation of enemies and a lot of cool effect. Maybe I will resume this project one day.
