Ok as mentioned above, i'm going to need some bug testers (by 31st October)

I'm looking for varied 32-bit Windows PCs:
32-bit Vista - position filled!
32-bit Windows7
I'm doing Windows XP testing...
But volunteers are welcome

A Linux person with WINE would be nice.

PM me if your interested!
I'll give further details once you apply!

Sorry for the delays guys, my USB internet modem was faulty (disconecting of its own accord, etc)

All the kool kidz have apple

That's about the only thing keeping apple in business. iPhones have always been lower quality, less features and less power then competitors for years, not to mention Apple is now more evil then Microsoft ever was, and o yeah, it's a completely closed source system.

Don't get me started on the blatant hypocrisy of Linux users that have iphones.

YOU DON'T HAVE AN I PHONE!!!!!!

Yeah, I know better. So do 4 of my latest co-workers that finally switched to android, and most the country it seems as Android market share has blown past iOS.

AtomHex · « **Reply #66 on:** January 19, 2011, 07:04:04 PM »

I have to admit, the Android phones are looking very tempting but also the fact that I have an I-phone 3g and have had no problems using it at the basic user level for a couple of years.....but a new phone is in my near future just not sure what to get, I do love the large screen of my I-phone ( aged eyes you know ) but I'm going to look at others that don't nickle and dime me to death so I CAN BUT MORE ROBOT STUFF.

madsci1016 · « **Reply #67 on:** January 19, 2011, 11:28:22 PM »

The biggest kicker for people here is that Apple BLOCKS robot control apps, while Google has RELEASED SDKs and libraries to control robots. Which would you rather have?

I can easily use my old G1 as a 'robot brain' now thanks to that.

Goodies of Wikipedia:

Macintosh version

In 2008, Sandy Duncan announced a port of Game Maker for Mac OS X was being developed. The port had undergone many delays due to technical reasons. A version[27] was made available for private beta testing.

On December 4, 2009, YoYo Games' Mac Developer resigned;[28] however, work resumed on January 27, 2010.[29]

On April 14, 2010, a release candidate for the Mac version was released.[30]

On August 11, 2010, YoYo Games released Game Maker 7 for Mac alongside a new Macintosh games hub entitled the YoYo Games AppStore.[31]
[edit] PlayStation Portable version

On 10 March 2010, YoYo Games CEO Sandy Duncan announced a new version of Game Maker that would be coming to the PlayStation Portable system.[32][33] YoYo Games recently held a competition (Competition 05)[34] in which the restrictions resembled those of a PlayStation Portable, and many rumors arose. Eventually, after over three months, an official announcement was made. YoYo Games also has begun a new competition (Competition 06)[35] with restrictions similar to those of a PlayStation Portable.
[edit] iOS Version and controversy

On 24 September 2010, YoYo Games announced they were making an iOS version, compatible with Apple iPod, iPhone, and iPad.[36] On 20 October, they have submitted Skydiver Mach II, their first app to the iTunes store.[37] As of 22 October 2010 (2010 -10-22)[update], the iOS version is not yet available for public use, however, YoYo Games has released information regarding the requirements for Game Maker games running on the platform.

On January 5, 2011, YoYo Games detected a group of hackers that created a decompiler for Game Maker so they can decompile/modify Game Maker games on the Itunes App Store and later the project would allow them to make and publish their own iOS game and bypass YoYo Games. YoYo Games responded by threatening to take action unless their project was terminated. This gathered much controversy as members of the Game Maker Community started to debate whether or not YoYo Games would sue. Nevertheless, YoYo Games's decision remains questionable to the hackers and the members of the Game Maker Community. One of the hackers, "Zach" said he would call off the decompiler project.
[edit] Android Version

The YoYo Games Store also allows users to port to Google Android.

Good Work with the game.

If you were to keep going with making games I would switch to java programming.
It is super easy and if you download a program called Alice (alice.org) it willl teach you easy programming and then you can move to Java3D

I can't wait for the final product.

voyager2 · « **Reply #72 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:09:48 AM »

Best thing is that there's a program to convert Game Maker files to Java files

voyager2 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 05, 2011, 07:04:25 PM »

Hi All!
Nearly ready for release!!!
Just have to design the levels

My least favourite part

Anyone want to help with the Level design?

Here's a little utility I made to help with level design:

PM me if your interested

And I need some robot theme background music, any suggestions?

your game has potential, you have to change the graphics and also to improve the levels of the game

If anyone has heard of the game VVVVVV, its soundtrack, PPPPPP, is fantastic. It gets my vote all the way.

Not compatible with 64 bit computers! Get with the times man!

Well sounds fun, can't try it out though.

To solve all incompatibilities I use almighty VMWare + XP(x32)

It somehow works on my x64 Win 7.

Doesn't anyone want to help design the levels.

robotsRcool · « **Reply #82 on:** February 11, 2011, 11:48:22 PM »

man this game will be look good when it is finished, and its game developer is shockingly a lot like blizzard one of the best game devs in the world in how he delays his content so much until it is perfect.

My guess is the next game will be WOSOR where we will have an online mmo
btw WOSOR stands for world of society of robots

gete it i am funny hahaha

voyager2 · « **Reply #83 on:** February 12, 2011, 02:02:01 AM »

Online multilayer?! I don't think I'm that good...
WoSoR, you read my mind

voyager2 · « **Reply #84 on:** February 23, 2011, 07:36:02 PM »

Hi All,

Its set in concrete:
Its going to be an endurance game.
You get a higher score the longer you survive

Collect coins, kill baddies, etc...

Current progress:

Re-integrating the story: I did do it yesterday but it seems the save seems to be corrupted

2+ hrs it took me and I've got to do it again

Re-integrating the new sounds: 30+ min again the damn thing got corrupted somehow...

Integrating the new images: haven't done that yet

45+ min

3.5hrs

Keep your eyes on this space!!!
I'll upload soon!

Voyager
