After a long wait ive just uploaded the most recent version of treovor pythagoras.

download and play Trevor Pythagoras now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who dont know what trevor pythagoras is, its a game which I (David Woodford) have created in my free time about a penguin called trevor. Trevors aim is to collect the triangles without dieing on the spikes or evil fish. The game is made in java and is complied as java application, which means i cant embed it yet.

For the “proper” instuructions go to my last trevor post

Note: the controlls are WASD not arrows

Whats new:

The first thing youll ntice is my lovley start up screen, the trevlaunch file, this is just a verey basic JFrame with a button that iniates the game. The code associated with the button is identical to that in the main method of the game file. You can still run it straight from the game file using the other batch file provided
My amazing background. The game now kind of supports backgrounds, the default is some iceburgs in alska. To change this just edit the background file(its one of the giffs in the img folder) but keep the dimensions the same. The background doesnt quite work as it moves at a different speed but ill sort it sometime
You can finally kill fish!!! If you jump on the fish now you can in theory kill them, the code for this seems a bit 50:50. well 10:90 but it can work. It should work if the fish is directly below you or below and to the side in which your travelling, if you can make it work 100% ill be happy to update the game and give you a mention
Ive still allowed you to create custom levels, to play these use edit and run the other(not play.bat) batch file as you did before
Hmm thats about it. i cant remeber my last upload so there might be some chages i havnt mentioned but their the main ones.

enjoy playing and dont forget to email me changes

Trevor Changes

admin — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:11:48 +0000

Its been a while since i last made some updates to trevor so i have. Ive also included to new levels in the download, although there some digging to do if you want to play the previous levels(there stored as a complied subclass of level, not as a text file in the levels folder).

DOWNLOAD

So what are the changes?

well really only that i have made the movement of trevor much smoother. On the first versions the screen was repainted evrey time the main game loop was run. This meant it could only move one block per frame, making the animation verey jumpy. Now ive made it so that it is repainted 4 times for evrey block he moves, so he moves 5px per frame at 10 frames a second, so the motion looks verey smooth.

Becuase people found the “simple to use” level design method to hard!!!!!!! ive made it even simpler. When your level is read in the borders are automatically added, so all you have to do is make sure your level isnt more than 19 lines high and 59 accorss and add and blank line and then end at the end. Simple!!!

Ive included 2 new levels for you to play. Just change the play.bat file so that it pass the game the level you want to plays file name as a parameter.

Happy trevoring. You can also visit the trevor section my site www.breakingwave.co.nr/computing/trevor/intro.htm

Trevor Pythagoras Level 1 && Diablo trick::Trampeze

Trevor Level 1

Download here(this link now works)
I have now complied my “level 1″ for Trevor. This means that there is no something you can play. Click the link above to download it(it is a link, even though it might not be underlined). The aim of the level is to reach the finish(the spirally thing) without dieing but by getting as many points as possible. You can get 10 points for each triangle you collect, i think the maximum is 120. However you can get injured if you get caught by the fish or land on the “spikes” each of the these take 10 points off your life.

other objects:

springs: These allow you to jump higher (9 squares instead of 5 i think) meaning you can reach some of the platforms. Just walk on one and watch yourself go up
hearts: these give you extra 10 health points
shields: This gives you 10 second (50 frames) protection from things that hurt you

How to play

Click the link at the start of this page to download the game as zip file, save it to your hard drive and extract it
If you havnt got java installed already on your computer go to java.sun.com to download it. Note you may need the developer version to download (this is the java jdk)
Run the file play.bat that you downloaded

Diablo Trick:

Trapeze

In the trapeze you make the diablo swing up and around on of your sticks and land back on the string, keep it there for a short period of time and then swing it back down

Get the diablo spinning fast
Swing it across you your weak handed side
And then back across quickly to your strong handed side so it comes up and over you strong handed stick
heres the hard part, try and land the diablo on the strings between your 2 sticks, this is now your trapeze
when the diablo starts to slow down swing it back down to its normal position

At first you wont be able to keep it on the strings for very long but after a while you should be able to lengthen the amount of time.
