Deadly Cobra / News: Recent posts

Hard work is still being done with DC and the new version has animated sprites as well as a few other minor improvements. Look for v0.8.0 before the next D.C.W.C.B.T. in January 2k06. Show up to compete against the current world champion Jon and steal the title!

Deadly Cobra is an SDL based game similar to the classic Nibbles or snake game. The point is to eat as many "Men" as possible without eating yourself or hitting a wall. Features include single & multiplayer modes, cool 2-D graphics and great music.

DeadlyCobra has reached a big milestone in its snake history today. Multiplayer support is now available as well as the new "Longest Snake Mode". It has been a long time since a release, but this one is sure worth it. Practice hard everyone, because the DeadlyCobra World Championship Belt Tournament is Saturday, January 15th, 2005.... read more

The new multiplayer version with lots of other optimizations and tweaks throughout the game is ready. We just need some new music. Please email outbak if you have any to contribute. Basically, we want a few short, loopable tunes that are 1+ mins long. If you can also make sound effects, that is needed as well. Please help get DC Multiplayer to the masses.

P.S. DeadlyCobra World Championship Belt Tournament is coming soon.

Great news, alot of bugfix work has been put into this version and it plays great. Controls are alot smoother and everything overall looks better. Uploaded were both the sourcecode and Win32 binaries. Enjoy!

Whats the one thing holding back DC? Your right, the damn low framerate. Well, a big breakthrough on the map drawing function has been made! A Code release is on the way that will significantly increase the speed DC runs on your machine!

Read changelog, a little tweak here and there.

ambient sound implemented finally. I was bored playing the game in utter silence.

You'll love the new responsive controls. Play away my friends!

We just brought on a fresh face to the team. New work has begun and some nice features should be coming out in the next couple weeks. dont forget about us!

This release fixes a shutdown problem and also randomizes the type of men on re-spawn.

DeadlyCobra (a nibbles-esque game that encorperates moving targets and multiple-levels) now runs on win32!

That's right, we finally reached the deadline for the no-starch press contest. DC has come a long way and drzaius and I are happy with our project. We would have liked to implement a few more things for the contest release and we were very rushed the last few days, but I'm sure the judge's will love it. A Win32 binary should be available soon, thanks for following the project up to now and remember this is the beginning. Keep your eye out for DeadlyCobra.NET edition. LOL, bye.

now you can play DC on your windoze machine. i don't know why you'd want to do that anyways. *sigh*

deadlycobra-0.1.0

now has:

*Tileset Background
*Obstacles (rocks)
*Multiple men onscreen
*basic scoring system

this release now incorporates targets and game rules into the project. check out the changelog for details!

this release incorperates some functionality to DC. it now uses pixmaps for the snake and background and can interpret keypresses, moving the snake (up,down,left,right).

The preliminary code to the DC project has been released. This is by no means "playable", it merely stands as a testbed for our projects design.
