Hi! Congratulations on taking the first brave step in making your first map :>
I will try this out right away! :>

I just played through it and won on my first attempt. :>

The level looks very pretty for the first few minutes, like some kind of Andy Warhol painting. It was a bit touch and go for a while as I scrambled to grab asteroids. Then, after a few minutes of swarming up, I started the conquest and pretty much didn't stop until I had the whole galaxy.

A few things. The whole "square" idea is cool, and not something I've seen before, however it does mean that once you get a whole side to yourself, you end up conquesting the galaxy "spreadsheet-style", row by row. I think, on balance, "organic" style maps, where the layout of asteroids is not so grid-like but more haphazard, are probably more stimulating to play on, but this is certainly an interesting and unique variation.

Overall a great first level. :> You've done a great job.

One thing I did notice though, is that you can't actually "win" - there is no Win Condition, or message box popping up to say that you've won.
If you'd like to rectify that for your future maps, you can do so with this code:

(click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

roidnumber = 999
		if GetEmpire(1):GetNumOwnedAsteroids() == 0 then
		
			Pause()
			MessageBox("you have lost.")
			WaitDialog()
			Unpause()
			Quit(false)
		
		end
	
		if GetEmpire(1):GetNumOwnedAsteroids() == roidnumber then
		
			Pause()
			MessageBox("you have won.")
			WaitDialog()
			Unpause()
			Quit(true)
		end

The code needs to be inserted after the bit that says "While GameRunning()".
You'll need to change "roidnumber = 999" to however many asteroids you have in your level.
You can also change what the messages say, if you want :>

Hope to see more maps from you soon. :>

Hello crazy_one! Haven’t played your level yet, haven’t played for (I think) two weeks now, have currently no time for such.

I’ll not yet add this level to the list of levels but rather wait whether you’ll update it to have an end condition, OK?

Greetz, Tom

Yes, I know, you wrote so. And verily appreciated. I for one have never written a level, and most probably won’t ever do.

Deep frozen greetings from Germany, Tom

I'm not really sure what those control either, to be honest. I guess most of them are kind of self-explanatory though.

Anyway, I wrote my own Eufloria AI rather than spending ages tweaking the settings on the default one. :P

crazy_one · « **Reply #10 on:** December 23, 2010, 09:12:05 AM »

i need to create ai with realy agresive tactic.. thet will be perfect for my level..

Use Annikk's infected AI.

http://www.dyson-game.com/smf/index.php?topic=1174.msg7076#msg7076

While it's only in beta at the moment, if the last one is anything to go by, this one is positively evil.

EDIT:You may want to change the numbers a little. 0.001 is really far too small for the speed, power and energy of an asteroid.

(Played this in 2.07 new game mode)

Have only played the first version yet, and only once … and even though, as the name says, the map is sqare, which might seem boring at first, it was an exciting fight, a hefty to and fro, but finally I was able to win it. Enjoyable.

Must soon play your later added version. But I fear, if you added Annikk’s AI, it’ll all be a bloodshed …

ahhhhh i when i get home i play sounds good good to see another level maker i might make some too ............maybe

annikk.exe · « **Reply #14 on:** January 25, 2011, 04:11:36 AM »

There's lots of support if you want to give it a try! We desperately need more level designers.. :> And it's not even that difficult..
