Remember that old game Hurdles, about jumping over hurdles?
It was very simple and not too impressive, with a player jumping over an endless number of hurdles while out on a run. It is controlled with one button, nothing fancy.
I decided to make an 'arcade' version, modding its code so it would run on a monitor(I used 4x3) , be controlled with buttons, and restart at a title screen when you die.
Redstone input from the button is on the left, monitor is on top.
Main Game:

Single-line startup program, also needed:

shell.run("monitor", "top", "hurdles")

Screenies!

Spoiler

This being my first program, some feedback would be nice.
Especially as I've got some more games lying around, among them Pong (Jasper version) and Tunnel.

MUUCH better. looks more like a game now then a whole blob of exploding text :ninja:

Uhh.. Why don't you add some monitor touch support so when the player clicks the screen it will jump..

[martin509]

I coded this in Tekkit unfortunately and I am not exactly in love with touch support. I doubt many people have a touchscreen.
I want to continue Tekkit coding so if you want touch support code it yourself, I can't imagine it being too hard.

Tomorrow, I might try to make is so that you stand on a pressure plate and jump to jump.

edit: oh wait, I could just put in a NOT gate between the pressure plate and computer.

Whats a "presser" plate? Do you mean a pressure plate?

Nice program BTW.

Just to clarify, Noodle made the original, I just tweaked it slightly and expanded on it a bit more.
So I did not make the original, I'm far from skilled enough to make this on my own.
