I need help. Does anyone know how to make it look like you are on the top of a tower in first person?

That looks pretty cool! But is it just for bragging rights? I don't really like the theme...I put a lot of work into my games, and they're all over a minute... Also, I looked at the form, and I'm not exactly sure what they want.

Sounds like you can just create whatever you want (game, app, whatever) based around the theme "Enjoyable enough in 1 minute" with the due date being April 30, 2013, 15:00(UTC+9). And yeah, it sounds like it's just for bragging rights and a spotlight on their website.

If I were able to finish my game by Apr 30, I doubt it would be eligible for the contest, considering it is a port of an existing game.

On the form page, it makes some kind of reference to "original work" so you're probably right about that. It's probably safe to assume that they're only interested in original work.

Here's a google translation from Submissions portion of the form page:
"Unpublished work is (*), work to recruit in the interest Puchikon Daiki, you will be limited to those of the applicant's own original creations were."

that sounds cool. Right now im experimenting with auto matic sprite movements. I have a 30 second video done already. I could add to it

I have been busy with other things (other games and real-lifey stuff) so I haven't used Petit Computer in some time.

Thought right now I'm thinking about making a small game for the contest. Who knows?

Thank you for posting this. One minute, eh? So, more like Tetris or Bejeweled? I'm in! It's too bad that only unpublished work can enter, or I'll enter my Lotto Number Picker. That one was one minute.

I wonder who else is considering Petit Computer Minute video. I can think of a few topics to do.

Ah, well, I'll probably either do Reversi, or maybe Code Cracker/Mastermind program. Either that, or that Paint Drying app looks rather promising!

Who says I'm not trying? I am probably going to release my new FPS for the contest. I also am working on it with my Step Bros. and it is actually decent. I need two things though. 1. How do I make it look like you are on top of a tower and 2. How do I do X,Y,and Z coordinates? Once I get help with the X, Y, and Z coordinates, I will add a vehicle. Is there any mathmatical formula that I can use to control the level using the X, Y, and Z coordinates, or do I have to hard code it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know what you mean by looking like you are on top of a tower, but if you mean isometric projection, then
given X,Y,Z
SX=X+(DX*Z): SY=Y-(DY*Z)

SX,SY=screen X,Y
DX,DY= isometric ratio of DX/DY
Y is subtracted because 0 is top of screen.

EDIT:
If you want perspective
SX=X/Z: SY=Y/Z
Yes, it's that simple!

Thank you SOOOO MUCH! But how do I control the X, Y, and
Z? That is my only thing. how do I make it look like the person is jumping/falling?

It depends on how you do your axis. In isometric, usually X=RIGHT, Y=UP, Z=DEPTH. So, the usual top-down playfield XY becomes XZ. Jumping will be reflected by Y axis.

Thanks! I will release that in a couple of weeks with CincOS. Again, Thank You Soooooo Much! That is one of the things that has driven me crazy forever!
