Super Bobby World - 22 years later

The original game

Me and my brother has decided to - for the first time - try to collaborate and see if we can make a game together. We will attempt to make a sequel to my first “real” game, Super Bobby World, originally released in 2003 (i.e. 22 years ago). The image above is from that game.

This time we’ll do it in c++ instead, and with a very limited time scope… so we’ll see how it goes. Let’s keep a short dev log about it here to keep track.

Done so far

Mostly the boring boiler plate and setup-stuff:

• Creating a window, handle input, game loop (using SDL)
• Load and draw bitmaps and colored rectangles
• First pass of custom platform physics (collision detection and response)

• Drawing text
• Playing music and SFX
• Very simple screen management

Not much to look at yet, but still managed to get a lot of the nessecary stuff out of the way.

And remember that you can play the original game here, free and in your browser:
