Cockroaches!

Cockroaches-2D: That's the name of my first official game!!!!

Check it out here: http://www.cs.umn.edu/~gandhi. Click on Graphics->2D Game. Its my assignment here. :-)

Let me know if it doesn't work on your systems(which I am sure won't. no time to test properly. :-) ).

Update, 3-oct-05: Windows now available!!! (hope this runs)
Linux: could anyone help? basically, need to supply the library ".so" files i guess. I guess you need to do a "make" as well.

What Next? I am thinking that I could make a game on Greedy Pig so that everyone can enjoy! So Skely, if you can put how to play the game at your Blog, I will go through it and try to make a game? what say you?

Was this game designed based on the real time experiences you had with your SRM mates?

Each SRm-ite is an item which can be associated to a Cockroach..

Each coackroach tries to kill the other...

Why does all games have to portray killing and hatred?

Can't you create a game which preaches peace,love and kindness...

Hey Gandhi,

Let me give you a suggestion to make a game that could possibly preach peace, love and kindness.

There is a cage with a lot of pigeons. The objective of this game could be how fast one can free the pigeons from the cage. If you free the male pigeon and the female pigeon is still inside the cage, then male pigeon would come back to the cage. So you should be able to release a pair together. There would also be many enemies around who would shoot the pigeons the moment it is released. So you should free the pigeon in such a way that it doesn't get attacked by the enemies.

Just an idea.

Wa re Wah....Good game suggested Anu...

Thought the theme involves justice,peace but the path is again violence.

How about you given a village in shatters, and you the user1 (hero) has to make it a self-independant village.All are self-employed, against pollution, corruption etc.

The challenge would be the enemy (Gram panchayat leader who is wicked and corrupt - as always) with lots of money wants to distrupt the hero's good deeds in the village.

Biju,
I know that you are totally jobless at UK. Will you please give some time for Gandhe to work on the game, and then you could download it.

Poor Gandhe, he is using his brain on th e computers after a few years. Unfortunatley he has been dumb and stupid at Bangalore. So it will take some time for him to remove the rust from his head.

Skely, it is a library error...you have been testing Oracle databases for 3 years, you could have suggested me on how to fix that one?

Hey Gandhi, the previous time when I tried messing around with a cockroach, I landed up with a "screwed" up ankle... Should I try once more? ;-D
