Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Hi testitemqlstudop!

As developer I can play the game on Mac OS, but I did't release the game for this platform.
The reasons are the following:
- The game controls are optimised for touchscreen (the game is difficult to play with touchpad/mouse)
- The game orientation is portrait, not landscape

Do ...

Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

We will have "Golly Gray" from the next version! :D

EDIT: I just tried the color. It's too dark, it's not a good idea to put on black background...

Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Alright. I haven't tried fever mode. Is it for getting more coins? ALso why did you call it Alien Armpit lol

Basically you go automatically in "Fever Mode" when you kill many enemies in a short time interval.
In "Fever Mode" the score and the coins are doubled! :D
I didn't choose the color names ...

Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Hi Saka!
The thing is that many people don't realize how to spend coins to unlock elements.
This is the reason why I make a gift of 100 coins and than force the user to buy the Laser.
Anyway with the new fever mode and with the daily reward you should be able to get coins faster and to unlock your ...

Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Ehy saka, it was just a minor release.
I updated the internal libraries and added the possibility to rate the game.
Now I'm working to add the possibility to share your scores with other Life Wars players! :D
Hopefully this will make the game more engaging...

Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Ehy Saka, thanks for the inputs, I will start the world 3 soon! :D
For sure I'll add some of the spaceships you suggested! :P
But before I start, I want to collect feedbacks around the world to understand if it is worth to continue the project.
I'd like to make the game as much fun as possible, to ...

Re: Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Hi Saka, thank you for your feedback! :)

When you play the Discovery Mode or the Infinity mode, no real GoL simulation is actually involved.
I did this choice for several reason:
- I don't want enemies to destroy each other when they collide. It would be too messy.
- Each enemy type has its update ...

@Gamedziner

Yes, there is copperhead! :D
This is how a page inside the "enemy wiki" looks like:

The "speed" is not the actual speed (c/10), but it calibrated for each enemy.
By the way each spaceship move exactly as in a simulation, just with ...

Life Wars: the Conway's Game of Life Shooter

Hi everyone! :D
I'm an Italian software engineer with a big interest in the Game of Life (like everyone in this forum I guess!).
Several months ago, for hobby, I started to develop a shooter game based on our beloved Game of Life!
In the game you control a ship to fight against some strange enemies ...
