Pontes Duel, an online shooter

[Manu]

Hello everyone,
Last days I did a new game: Pontes Duel.
It is a shooter and it can be played online, it's simple, fast and easy to use.
Download Pontes Duel

From help file:

This game is playable online and requires port 9995 UDP to be properly opened in order to host a game. If you are the host, it is also necessary to allow the game to pass through your firewall.
The client must enter the host’s IP address in order to connect to a hosted game.
The IP address can be copied into clipboard pressing enter on the corresponding option in main menu.

One round is finished when one player has 15 points. If the opponent is hit directly in front, you win 2 points, if you hit the opponent almost directly in front, you win one point.
The winner is the player who is the first to win ten rounds.

Use the Space Bar to fire. After firing six times, it is necessary to reload the gun by pressing the Enter Key. You can reload the gun only after 3 seconds since the last fire occurred.
Press M to hear the number of remaining bullets in your gun.

Press S to hear the score in the current round.
Press A to hear the rounds score.

Use left or right arrow to move left or right.
It is also possible to use F or J keys to move. G and H can reload the gun too.

In Training mode you can practice shooting.

The game is free, and it is programmed by Emanuel Boboiu.
The sounds are edited by Cornel Todericiu who is also the main tester.

We can continue to develope this game, one useful thing would be to make the joining system easier, like in Pontes Backgammon.
Any other suggestion is welcome.

There is a new version of Pontes Duel, 1.1.

In this version there are different type of rounds like: revolvers on the floor, snipers on the snow, revolvers on the ice, swords on the grass and boxing on the gravel.

Hi everybody,

There is a new version of Pontes Duel: 1.2.

This version can be downloaded clicking next link:
Pontes Duel 1.2

You can read the entire manual pressing next link:

What's new:

1. You can use the mouse as an alternative:
- moving the mouse left or right it's the same as pressing left or right arrows;
- Left Mouse Button fires or hits, like Space bar;
- Right Mouse Button charges the gun or makes the player to rest when in rounds without fire guns;
- Middle Mouse Button throws a flashbang like F4;
- F3 enables or disables the mouse, by default it's enabled.
2. There is not necessary anymore to give the IP Address to your partner. Now you can wait as a host, or search for hosts as a client.
When you are waiting as a client, a list of available hosts appears, just press enter on a host to connect.
3. When starting this version for first time, you must fill two input boxes: your nickname and your country. You can also change these information from Main Menu at Change Nickname.
4. Pressing W you can hear your partner's nickname and country.
5. Control + W spells your partner's nickname.
6. In rounds without fire guns you can jump. When moving left or right, if Up Arrow is pressed, the fighter jumps 3 steps in the respective direction.
7. In order to win a round, you must make 15 points and your partner to have less than 14. If the score is 14 - 14 it's considered a draw and the round starts again.
8. Some sounds were changed: the start signal, the sounds in the 5th round (Boxing on the Gravel) etc.
9. Some bugs were corrected. For instance now the score will be accurate, only the server decides who wins a game.
