This is an early demo release of the Broomsticks2!!
Quick list of initial improvements:
- Fullscreen!
- Better performance!
- Simpler files (BMP images)!
- Front layer (clouds)!
- 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 teams with passing!
To change the game settings, edit the settings.txt file below. The settings
you can change are:
- Fullscreen or window display
- Display mode: 1=640x480 (default), 2=800x600, 3=1024x768
- Number of red and black balls
- Acceleration and max speed
- Score to win the game
To change the graphics, edit or replace the images in the imgs/
directory. Important things to understand:
- White pixels in the images become transparent in the game
- There is a front layer (e.g. front.bmp) and background layer (sky.bmp)
- Character images (e.g. players.bmp) are arranged in a special way. See
imgs/characters.txt for more information.
To find cool graphics for use with this game, go to the
official website at www.broomsticks3d.com.
If you download GIF images from the website, you will need to convert
them to BMP. Sometime soon, I will post BMP versions of all the images.
To create your own characters, edit the players.bmp file with
your favorite paint program (e.g. Windows Paint,
Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP).
To change the front layer (clouds), edit front.bmp. To remove this layer from the
game, rename the file.
