Title: Manic the Hedgehog
Post by: v6v on 2012-12-10, 01:14:59 PM

Hello!

http://paradigm.heliohost.org/Manic.html

I made this for a local Game Jam in November.

It wasn't finished but I did raise some brows :)

press down and space to spindash

I'll probably work on it after Child of Streams 2.

(I can host HTML5 projects now that my web hosting is more reliable)

Hum, doesn't seem very reliable to me. :P  I only get timeouts.

I'm using Chrome on Windows 7 and it seems to work alright... but it's very short, like 2 seconds of running and then there's no more level, right? :)
One annoying thing though, if your browser is not really wide, you get terrible flicker when it starts to scroll. Need smaller scroll margins maybe.
Cool that you're getting into HTML5 projects!

Thanks Vincent and bluemonkmn for trying it. I should work on it when I get time.

i can't connect to your hoster, doesn't seem to be the very best.

Is it acting funny?

A month ago, I tried to switch from a virtual server running on their main server to their main server, because the uptime jumps from 70 percent to 99 percent (The server maintenance team told me themselves but I'm not so sure)

It's supposed to have 20 percent more uptime at the (expense of not supporting Java/RubyonRails) than the last server I hosted my website on- but this obviously isn't true now

It's a shame too, because half of my game will depend on my webhost for looking up other online players.

I've had some people offer me usage of their server, but I'm going to look into the world of dedicated hosting eventually. There isn't anything reliable at the moment for free, and I can't afford anything, even though my expectations are so small, this is the only host that doesn't put a cap on bandwidth or CPU usage, but their reliability is terrible.

I'm terribly sorry. It's not anything important anyways, I wanted to share what little I had made in HTML5.

it worked yesterday evening and now also. but there's not much to do, is it?  ;D
I just see the first few tiles and then there's a bottomless pit, on which's bottom I can walk around.
