I came across @dave1707 dual joystick code example and added a bit too it. Now you can shoot at some bothersome gnats flying around you. It’s pretty dumb but, I thought it a little more entertaining while evaluating Dave’s code . If its too easy, you can uncomment some code in the collision detect function to make things much harder. Cheers!
@krdavis Nice demo, no code is dumb because it will teach someone something. Plus it gave you something to code.
@krdavis nice Icon, you’re a man after my own heart.

@UberGoober You need to load the Codea Game Sounds. Look in assets.
@dave1707 thanks!
@krdavis This is cool!
As a game it doesn’t really feel like the player has a chance against the flies, though.
I made some tweaks to make it feel more achievable to get all the flies, plus some cosmetic stuff:
- Circles are more transparent
- Vignette effect at corners of screen
- Small shadow under main character
- Player’s shots are larger and more colorful
- Sound effect for shooting added
- Sound effect for hitting a fly changed
- Flys are larger
- Fewer flies
- Lessened the amount the player can go off the sides of the screen in each direction
- New icon more close-in on player
Update: made the sounds quieter and less annoying. Note the word “less”.
@UberGoober nice!
