Click Mania plugin

[Bavarian]

Well here it is, my first plugin.
It's the well known game from 1996, but for me it was a good practice to get familiar with the MP source code.

You can download the version 0.0.3.0 for MP version 0.2 RC2 (CVS 27.02.2006)
http://www.mytempdir.com/481974

Enjoy it.

UPDATE version 0.0.3.0:
1) Take back function implemented
2) problem with the buttons solved


UPDATE version 0.0.2.0:
1) new Sounds are added (thx to carreno)
2) key interface for the remote control users are added
3) some skin improvements
4) i know the toggle buttons are wrong - maybe a skin expert can check the skin file, to find out why the order of the buttons are wrong.

my thx goes also to tomtom21000 and MrMichell for their good feedback


UPDATE version 0.0.1.0:
1) Graphics from tetris.
2) "Game over" will be displayed at the end.
3) Some sounds are include, but I am looking for more cool sounds.

Is the original title maybe clickomania?

Well, guess I will try it later on anyway.

Will it work on all standard skins, or blue2, or which?

I had a eralier version that time, it was called ClickMania, this seams to be the next generation. The princible is the same.

There is a Installer - zip included with all the files for the skin Blue2.

Hi Bavarian,

this is just a great game.

In the link you provided I have a source folder (I can´t compile, so I did not do anything with it) and a Clickmania _demo folder. This again hold one game executable and a folder with game sounds.
So, no installer.
The exe itsself works fine, but how is the game supposed to integrate with mediaportal. Should it work like the tetris plugin or is this something for your next development step?
Or are there some files missing in the link you provided?

It's gone... Will it be reposted?

[Bavarian]

hi tomtom,

you are right. I packed the wrong file to the zip.

So, I deleted the old link and replaced it in the first post with a new one. This version now includes the file install.zip. Copy this file to your MP directory and you have the plugin running equal to myTetris. At the moment it is only for Blue2.

Have fun,

Bavarian

Hi TheVideoViking,

Me again

Works great now.

Good work for your first plugin.

Two suggestions/bugs:

1) How about using the graphics from tetris. They are more stylish!

2) The original game tells you something like "Your score is x" or "game over" when there is no more possibility to eliminate any more of the blocks. With your plugin, nothing happens. Maybe it would be a good idea to add this.

3) There are no sounds at the moment, are there? Allthough too much sounds may be rather annoying, some sound at the start and end would be some fun.

4) It is great to play with a mouse. I have one. But there are a lot of users who only use a remote. May be you could extend navigation to some sort of remote navigation.

Hope to see more of your work soon. By the way, the my music area lacks a developer

Hi tomtom,

thank you for your suggestions.

I am implementing them right now.
There will be an update to version 0.1 in approx 30mins.

By the way, do you know where I can get cool sounds for my plugin?
