Frazzler. It's back and better than ever!

**fraggler** · 02 Feb 2004, 09:51 PM

Hello all,

For the past two days I've been working hard to fix up my flash game Frazzler.
I improved the performance so much it runs on my sister 200MHz laptop at the set framerate. I also now check the framerate and if its below the normal rate, it will still give a score and such, but it will warn you that the FPS is too low and will not submit the score to the high score table.

I fixed the look of the game and made it a little more acceptable with the correct fonts and such. The graphics arent where I want them due to my skill at making vector graphics in Flash.

I used vector graphics in this version, and what I did I think is pretty cool:

The HTML is nifty. There is now my FraggleGames layout and an iframe that contains the flash screen window in the middle. By click the windows border, you can set the window size and it will automagically resize the window. When the window is resized, with Frazzlers vector graphics, everything resizes/scales without much loss to quality. So if Frazzler runs slow at 500x500, just set it to 300x300, and you'll get higher framerate. This solves the FPS problem pretty much.

If you've played CrazyGame mentioned in a thread here, this game is based off it. The problem with CrazyGame was the fact you had to prove you made a score with screenshots and such. Frazzler keeps a high score list of all people who scored higher than 10. To view the full list in a webbrowser, head to:

http://www.fragglegames.com/flash/highscores.php

Here is the games controls:
WASD keys or Arrows: Manuever your player.
ENTER key: Used instead of clicking the TRY AGAIN button. No mouse interaction needed this way.

You must enter a username to start the game!

The score is based on the number of seconds you endure.
If the same score is put into the high score list, the more of milliseconds given to the high score list determines the placement.

This is a community based game. Your feedback helps make this game.
If you have any ideas about gameplay or settings, PLEASE make it heard.

Cha!

Damn, this is much harder now.

Good Job.

**Diff-chan** · 02 Feb 2004, 10:17 PM

I would change the color of the box the game is in so I know where the field ends by sight. Make it blue or something.

And this is a huge improvement over your first revision (which was garbage to be quite honest), but I think it actually moves a bit too fast. Try to emulate the original game more.

Oh, I dont think that game size thing works in Mozilla either.

**Roufuss** · 02 Feb 2004, 10:19 PM

Someone got 54

**icarusfall** · 02 Feb 2004, 10:25 PM

This no longer works on my mac.

It was the other day...
Is there a reason it shouldn't?

**Frogacuda** · 02 Feb 2004, 10:26 PM

now it's too fast (getting like 40fps). Is there a middle ground? Meybe have it start slow and pick up speed? Most of the time I die in like 3 seconds, and then sometimes I'll get like 16. Feels too luck based.

**MechDeus** · 02 Feb 2004, 10:35 PM

I have no problem with the speed, I'm actually doing better then before (probably the reduced bullets). In any case, is there any way to limit the high score listing to only having one version of someone's name? Just wondering because it's kind of odd watching people rise the high score ranks with their name on the top ten six times.

That would be a definite improvement. Otherwise if you play a bunch of times there are a lot of duplicates. Much improved now, I'm getting 34/35 fps.
