You know you want to…

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post about something, and I hope to not dissapoint with this one.

Vertigo Project has just launched our first product - RedLine. It is a sideways scroller racing game with the objective being to get the most points before reaching level 10. It uses bits and pieces of the examples I have previously posted but all together is much more impressive.

The 10 levels increase in difficulty as your play through them - with the number of oncoming cars increasing, the amount of time you have to stay alive increasing and the need for petrol increasing.

The game is completely based on jQuery and gameQuery which means it’s nothing more than crafty javascript and basic graphics. We have tried to make it as competitive as possible and have included a score board as well as proof of how awesome (or not) you were in your attempt to beat the game.

We have also tried to keep the javascript as easy to follow as possible incase anyone is interested in looking at how everything comes together. We figured we might as well do it seeing as you could get the source quite easily.

Above anything else, it was a challenge for Dave and myself to see what we could do with the jQuery javascript library and the gameQuery plugin. We have a few ideas for our next project which will also be a javascript game. But you will hear more about that closer to the time.
