Mitnick
After finishing Hell’s Gate, I really didn’t want to get into a big project again (not without some time to “rest”). And this is one of the little things I made in that time.
Released on December 2005, Mitnick is quite a simple minigame in which you use W to speed up, always move towards the mouse pointer, and use mouse left button to shoot and mouse right button to throw “ultra-bombs”.
Nothing out of the ordinary if it wasn’t because the game is an OSG (One Script Game). For those users of Game Maker that will ring a bell. If not, it’s a game where the .gm6 (.gmk, or .whatever other versions of GM use) only contains a script, an object and a room. The room only contains an instance of the object. And the object only contains an event: Draw. The event only contains one action: execute script (guess what script it executes? Right, the only one it contains).
So yeah, it was more fun to program than to play. That’s why you can download both the executable version and the editable version here, to let you take a look at the (1075 lines of) code.
It was my first OSG, and I learnt quite a lot in the process of making it. I made a better OSG some time later. That is Sivor, and I’ll post about that one soon. =)
