Perplexus

Perplexus

Description

Welcome to the second FreshBrain General Scholarship project.

This will be the workspace where you post information about your project.  It is VERY important that you use this environment to save everything related to the creation of your project.  You will be judged based not only on the final submission, but the process that you used.

Before we get into the details of what you need to use this environment for, lets talk about the project itself.  As you read under the description of the scholarship, it is really up to you as to what you create.  All that we ask is that it is in one of the technology areas that are a part of FreshBrain.  Those include:

  • Development
  • Eco/Green
  • Gaming
  • Graphic Design
  • Music
  • Video/Movies
  • Web
  • Venture

You decide what you do.  You might check out the rest of the website to see what others have created or to look for ideas.  Talk to your friends.  Look around on the internet.  Then pick something and do it.  Maybe one of the tools on the site can help you.  Show us what you've got!

There are three things that you should do (two are a MUST) as you complete your project and before you submit.

  1. Use the Update capability of the project to post updates along the way.  These are a kind of very simple progress report.  It is up to you as to how often you create an update.  Make sure they are full of good content.  This is optional but will be considered in reviewing your submission.
  2. Create a summary of the steps that you took to complete your project and create your submission.  This should be a simple microsoft word, open office writer or text document.  Upload this to the File Manager capability of the project.  You MUST do this.
  3. Upload your finished project to the File Manager.  You MUST do this.

That's it.  Have fun.  And remember, you have to go back to the scholarship page and submit the URL to this project workspace to be considered!

Perplexus: Submission

May 26, 2009 at 10:49 am by Oracizan

Well, I'm about to submit my project for consideration, wish me luck! I think that Perplexus is pretty much bug-free now, thanks to my wonderful beta testers. I've tweaked and prodded and polished all of the little components of the game as much as I can, now all I can do is hope. Good luck, Perplex...

Perplexus: Complete?

I think that Perplexus is a complete game program now. I've hammered out all of the little bugs and added a few puzzles for demonstration purposes. I even added an intro screen and wrote a ReadMe file! But you can never too sure, so I'm going to post a beta version and see what everyone thinks of it...

Level Editor

Quick Update: I've thrown together a quick level editor for Perplexus, also using Game Maker. Quick and dirty, but it gets the job done. Now I can test some of the gameplay.You can see that the editor works in an overhead view. You can also see that the level in the screenshot is just shown for exam...
