Kind Words on RedLine

November 27th, 2008 by dave. No Comments »

AJAX Magazine (of phpmagazine.net) was kind enough to have a look at our RedLine Javascript release and had this to say –

Vertigo-projects have a new and amazing racing game powered by jQuery and using the GameQuery plugin. The game itself is about one thousand lines of code, but you will need some practice to not shift too early or to avoid crashing. It’s interesting to see the level of applications that we can build today using modern javascript libraries such as jQuery. The design is pretty attractive to run a level or two, have a look and enjoy the race http://www.vertigo-project.com/projects/redline-game.

RedLine Game Out!

November 24th, 2008 by dave. 5 Comments »

We have at long last released beta 1 of the RedLine jQuery racing game. Making use of gameQuery, jQuery and a lot of custom code and images its a side scrolling race game made without any use of flash at all!

Please feel free to play it, leave suggestions, report bugs and show us your top scores!

information RedLine Game Out! Please note, the game was designed using Firefox and runs best with the fastest javascript engine you have available. Firefox 3.1 offers the best performance we have seen.

RedLine Public Demo 1

November 19th, 2008 by dave. No Comments »

We’ve been toiling away with sound fixes for gameQuery, problems with slow javascript implementations and more, but are getting close to releasing the first public demo for one of the racing games in RedLine. Its a side scrolling racer, where you have to dodge enemies, collect petrol and miss the dirts/hit the speedups to get a high score – arcade classic style.

There’s still much to be done, but we will be posting it and the source code here on Vertigo Project once its ready!

gameQuery

November 12th, 2008 by dave. 1 Comment »

Something we’ve been playing around with for RedLine is gameQuery, a jQuery plugin for javascript game development.

gameQuery is a jQuery plug-in to help make javascript games easier to develop by adding some simple mechanism and commodity. It’s still in a very early stage of development may change a lot in the version to come. The project has now also a Google Code page where the svn repository of the project will soon be hosted.

We’ll hopefully have a demo or two up with some of the stuff you can do with it soon, but in the meantime feel free to check out the site if you enjoy the odd bit of javascript madness.

We recently helped out setting up games.vault9.net for the Vault9 Forums, and the design came out quite well. If you’re interested, these are the libraries/tools we used –

and the rest was homegrown.

More RedLine Tech

As you might have read Daz put up a feature presentation of using jQuery to do animation (e.g. a racing game) in a previous post. While RedLine’s still have a long way to go, there is another preview using parallax for a 3d background effect.

jQuery Racing Game?

Work has begun on playing around with JavaScript to write some racing games for Red Line – and Darryl has posted a code test on his blog where you can see some of the things that can be done with jQuery.
