Hello all. This is a game I am currently making. It is very early in development, so it is only a menu screen for now. It is one of my first experiments in Swing. Screenshot:  (In case you didn't notice, the numbers are levels to be made  ) |

Well, its going to be a game where you use the arrow keys to move a red square to a green one. But you will have to watch out for the blue squares, which if they are on a square adjacent to the red square, you lose! The blue squares will be using AI that I have to figure out how to do  . There will also be walls and flame blocks, which you have to avoid. |

My game will have a name as soon as I get the neccessary gameplay working (don't like playig pong when there is no ball ) I have already decided the name. Soon I will post it on my thread (but it may require some deciphering) @OP: I don't mind that you 'copied' the name. Keep it as long as it takes to make a name. But yeah, what is it about? Ninja'd  |

Just in case you were confused, you have to avoid the flame blocks squares, not the walls (Though it might be useful to avoid the walls ) |

I have a name! But unfortunately, that name was hashed  , so you have to work it out. This is it: 314025596 If you decipher it, please tell me . |

Please stop copying my ideas.  And by the way, dehashing a string is complicated. And you have to account for the fact there are (potentially) infinite strings per hashcode. I tried making a dehashing program today and gave up because iterating through each possible string is actually quite hard. I may try again tomorrow with only letters. |

It's not hard, it's time consuming... If your game name has 10 characters, that means there are at least 26^10 strings to be checked (that's: 141167095653376 checks). With 1 million checks / second, it will take almost 4.5 years.

Definitely getting the name in time! |

An idea for a game name and possibly a deeper story: The Rapist of Gong Nameng
There are far to few rapist-games...

Going for the critical acclaim and market success of Custer's Revenge, are you?

OK. But I'm not really asking for big publicity. I was thinking of calling it squares...

You never should ask for it if you want the game to be fun. But if it's fun, publicity is a good side-effect. |
