JJ's Road Rage: The Musical

JJ's Road Rage: The Musical is a small C + raylib arcade driving game built with Pelles C on Windows.

The current build is a one-level, endless-road score attack game with:

• keyboard controls
• a start screen
• a pause screen
• a high score screen
• an in-dash stereo in fullscreen mode
• 6 music tracks
• 2 power-ups
• local high score saving

What kind of game is this?

You drive on an endless scrolling road, dodge traffic, shoot red enemy cars, avoid hitting civilians, grab power-ups, and chase a higher score.

If you like arcade games, you'll like this game for sure.

What kind of PC a that game needs ?

[rweidner]

My computer is:

• Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz (3.19 GHz)
• Installed RAM: 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
• Graphics: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 128 MB
• OS: Windows 11 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I tested the game compiled as 32 bit. I don't have testers, so I don't know what other combinations of PC/OS work.

Also, I compiled using PellesC 14.00.0 RC 1.

Thanks for it.
I might test a your program in my PC farm

Wow! Thanks. That would be awesome!

Hi rweidner,

Downloaded and ran on my desktop.  Ran quite well.  Neat ole time video game, impressed.

One thing, I've got a 32 inch monitor, in the Full screen mode it locks to the top of the screen centered horizontally.  I think being centered vertically too would be better, at least better for my neck.  

Makes my VEXED game look pretty tame. https://www.oldergeeks.com/downloads/file.php?id=3529 or here https://sourceforge.net/projects/vexed-for-windows/

I'll try on a few different systems.  I've not tried to build it yet though just running your exe.

Cheers,
John Z

Thanks, John Z, for checking out and testing my game. I greatly appreciate your efforts and feedback. If you enjoy the game but the orientation on your monitor is an issue, I've got good news. It runs in windowed mode, too. In windowed mode, you can move the game around your monitor to where you like it. 

The game initializes on the high score screen. From there:
* Press the |Backspace| key to get to the main menu.
* Press |S| to get to the settings screen.
* Press |W| to get to windowed mode.

While you're there, feel free to play around with the different difficulty settings.

I made windowed mode for folks with smaller monitors. For that reason, in windowed mode I drop the dashboard/stereo view. I didn't consider it might be a nice feature for folks with larger monitors too. I might have gotten lucky with that feature.

Hi, Ronald,

Yup I saw and ran in windowed mode too. But of course I then had all other windows distracting. Of course I could close them ........
