first paddling video game ever!

keizo

Okay, this is not quite 'Karel Jr Pro Paddler' by EA Games, but it's a fun little thing I did this summer. This is some what of a pre-release. Have fun wasting time with it, and post your highest scores! Oh and if it runs slow, well then I guess your computer is a bit slow...

Instructions

The object of the game is to get as far as you can with 40 strokes.
To paddle just click the mouse on the game screen. Each click is one stroke. When the word 'stroking' appears your paddle is in the water, so I don't recommend taking another stroke before that one is finished.
If your VO2 (oxygen level) gets over 100% you can't paddle any more, so paddle long and hard and surf all you can.
Remember, it doesn't matter how long you take.
Conserve your strokes! you will go farther.
Click reset to play again.

Broke 2K again with 2002.76...but it was really a struggle. I wonder if anyone will ever break 3K? It seems almost impossible.

it should load automatically into your screen on the first page of this thread. If you don't have the flash player installed get it at www.macromedia.com
Once you get it to load, click away!

:shock: Not to be a buzz kill for you guys... But maybe if all of you spent half the time you play this game on a real boat, you'd actually PADDLE FAST. Don't get too nuts with this thing, only your index finger and the size of your ass will increase...not the "distance" traveled.

are you a little sour that you can not get high scores? I have to say that the game has done amazing things for my paddling skills, i am beginning to learn that surfing isn't only about paddling hard and fast, that it's all about the timing, keeping the hull speed consistently up... I kind of look at this game as a simulator, who learns to fly a plane without going in a flight simulator first? I also think the game is doing really good things for society in general, keeping the younger generation off the street, away from gangs and drugs etc..

There's a bug in it though. All you have to do is nothing and if a wave comes along it can push you a little distance. Maybe a timer would solve that. 40 strokes in a certain time period. If you let the game run for a long time, you can easily get the high score.

[b]Man have to get use to it, thanks Keizo, now I really have another excuse to get out and really paddle, don't want to get fat sitting around playing the game.. only my left click finger gets a work out.. Fun all around..

Hey Keizo I just broke my old record of 2375. New high of 2452. Has anyone beat that?

#111 Sat, 11/20/2004 - 3:18pm

keizo

gordon, that's absolutely ridiculous. that must be the all time high.. you must have lots of free time at work :)
anyway, I don't know when I'll ever get a new game out, maybe sometime in 2005.

#112 Sun, 11/21/2004 - 6:19am

MikeA

[quote="keizo"]Some ideas planned for the future include a high score board, ability to fly the ama... adding a paddler on top the canoe. Perhaps different canoes, paddlers, & settings for the waves. Currently the waves are generated in a random position, but are the same height and speed for every game.
Anyway, try it out, let me know what you think.[/quote]

Good fun Keizo. Mahalo.
Happy Thanksgiving

Eh, it's addicting enough the way as it is :) Thanks for helping us fritter away those boring moments holding down the day job to support the paddling habit... Yeah, it could be more sophisticated, but who's complaining? (I mean besides the fact that I'm still trying to break 2000)

What would be cool is if you could set up a game server so users can compete against each other. Or set up parameters so we could see who gets farthest the fastest. I wish I could program so I could help you out. Good surfing!
