Project 2.5, now named Quantizer because i’ve not released a game that starts with Q, is somehow ready for beta testing… and yes, i’m surprised it was that quick as well! There’s just a starfield in the background, three attacker types, pseudo random wave generation and a slightly cobbled classical soundtrack but it’s been enjoyable playing it for the last couple of days and the online highscores work pretty well so far…!
Beta testing should take a couple of days, fingers crossed…
Quantizer - beta version
Update: obviously, something broked… the highscore handling got it’s knickers in a twist and decided that it wasn’t going to keep as many scores as i’d told it to… in fact it seemed adamant that it would only record twelve! That’s been fixed and after a little prodding around i’ve managed to write a sidebar widget for WordPress that can read the online scores and neatly display them (okay, it’s using tables and that’s naughty but it works so i don’t care!)
