About Noname

What's Noname?

Noname's like the classic "asteroids" game, but without the asteroids and with all kinds of ships. It can be played against the computer and/or against upto four human players (on the same computer, keyboard only for now).

Why is it called Noname?

Because I couldn't think of a good name, I made up this temporary name. As soon as I think of a better one, the name changes. If you've got any idea, please tell me.

What's should be improved?

Rightnow, the game can be pretty slow (>20 ships on <Pentium), but the worst thing is: it's 320x200! The game should be in at least 640x480 so you won't collide with everybody every second. Finally: there aren't any sound effects or music.

Can I download Noname?

Yes. You can even choose between two different versions (Protected mode version recommended). Choose one here:

Screenshots

Of course you should see it all moving, 'cause you don't see the bullets and stuff on a static shot (looks just like the stars on the background). But here they are:

Version changes

Some version changes from version 0.99 to 0.999 beta:

• Large explosions are shown correcly!
• Font, sprites and pictures are stored inside the .EXE file. So instead of eight files, you only need three.
• Huge explosions! (64x64 pixels)
• Title screen with ships moving over it, and four help/credit screens.
• End statistics display first eight ships (more wouldn't fit) and displayed on space background.
• 256 Internal directions (very accurate)! Still 32 external directions.
• AI support acceptable group-attack (multiple ships of the same team).
• Ships come through subspace portals instead of appearing out of thin air/space.
• Restart removes all explosions and ships, and resets level correctly and completely.
• No more runtime error #210.
• Static discharge weapon!
• Secondary weapon recharge bug fixed.
• Really a lot more bug fixes and small improvements.
• And... game in protected mode!! No more memory errors with 64MB free!!
