Depot Games: BlobLand 2

Current Version: 2

Project Status: Completed

Links: Web Site

Category: Space Shooters

Developers: Tobi Vollebregt

Ports: DOS, Windows

Source Code: Available

Author's Description: BlobLand 2 is a small space shooter written for the Allegro SpeedHack 2003 (see also allegro.cc or speedhack.allegro.cc). In short, the Allegro SpeedHack is an international competition in which you have to write a game using the game programming library "Allegro" within 72 hours (one weekend). It is impossible to write the game entirely before this weekend because only at the last moment (Friday 12:00 UTC) a special set of rules is published. It is actually an extended version of BlobLand, combined with the Allegro demo.

Features are: realtime metaballs (blobs) for the aliens, particle engine with a cool blurring effect, a hiscore list, sound effects and music, 3d rotating asteroids, nukes and support for page flipping / triple buffering / double buffering / dirty rectangles.
