Scratch

Project Notes

PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND RUN IN PRESENTATION MODE, IT IS A LOT LESS BUGGY, ESPECIALLY IN FREE RIDE.
This game was kind of made by accident. I was experimenting with ways of making somthing roll and turn, accordingly. I ended up with a working, rolling bike, that I made into a game. Ride your bike to the next stage, without crashing. If you go too fast, you will crash and fall off the screen. Also watch the energy bar. When you pedal, it will decrease. Free-wheel on the downhills and pedal on the uphills to conserve energy. Start - begin the main game, made up of 5 levels, each with 4 stages. In total - 20 stages (not including free ride) Free Ride - not to be confused with free-riding - I am actually a freerider/downhiller.(Free Ride was the only name I could think of) ride your bike along 10 different pieces of terrain to test the bikes rolling and physics with unlimited energy. Instructions - The controls and other pieces of info. The game is still quite buggy. Somtimes when you go down a steep hill, you will fly off the hill and fly around the edges of the screen. Some stages don't work very well,as the terrain is too steep or too bumpy. In my opinion, the stages that work the best are Level 1, stages 2 and 3. The physics, aren't quite perfect, but the basics are there: You will use more more energy going up steeper hills, you will travel faster down steeper hills, etc.
I tryed to make this a side-scrolling game, but the rolling physics didn't work. One part thatcould be improved is the physics when you are in the air. It was purely luck that the rider doesn't start spinnning out of control, like I expected, when he is in the air, but it can be improved. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this game, :D 04lukeb.
