Shyguy’s Cave of Death is a game I made written in Java using the Slick 2D Java OpenGL library. It is inspired by the popular flash game Copter. You fly the Shyguy up and down the screen through the maze collecting various coins and avoiding the deadly mines.

This game is so fun… the source is not open huh ?

Thanks, yeah unfortunately it’s not open source. But I don’t think you would want to take a look at the code; it’s really not very pretty. :)

And everyone would likely just scan the code for vulnerabilities.

H.B.

Well I should hope not everyone would do that but certain people might, yes. But that is not what I’m worried about. It wouldn’t take someone who was keen enough very much effort to decompile the game as it is written in Java and I haven’t made any effort to protect the code. Even so, I’m not sure what kind of vulnerabilities someone might hope to find in the code. If you want to try to submit a fake score then go ahead. Looking at the code won’t help you much there. :D

Good work. It’s really funny game!

It is posible to get from you some parts of code? I think about blood and smoke’s effects. Decompiled code might not compile.

Hey You! Your game is amazing! Wow I love shyguy so much! I’m french, sorry for my poor English! I Hope you will create other games of the best Mario ennemy! ^_^ Please take my mail, I wanna talk with you about the way you create this game, please! :-) Thanks a lot! See you soon for Beating the Number one! ^^

Shy [ ptitshyguy.skyrock.com ]

Yes i’m the second now ^_^ Take care Lemaster, here i come!!!

(Is my english correct ? :-P )

Hello ! Nice to talk with you! Hey I just have a question… my records was older than ” 2 days ago ” -_- No worry, but i think the game don’t work correctly with the records, maybe cause my computer is very strange ^_^

Just, I want to know whats the empty scores mean… you know the scores are marqued with the day of the highscores, but some records haven’t got date… Why ? Thanks a lot for your game :-) I love it!

Hello Shyguy,

The highscores that don’t have a date were recorded before I had implemented the recording of the date. Similarly with the level reached. The time will just show the last time that you submitted your score, that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s when you first achieved that score.

Ok Hey, i can’t play SCOTD anymore… shall i uninstall the software and install it one more time ? Seems like you beat us Dex… Wow Oo congratulations ! I reeaaaly need to beat you ^_-

Sorry for the current brokenness of the game. I’m endeavouring to fix it.

Sorry about the temporary loss of Shyguy service. Normal service has now resumed and we’d like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Thank you…

i got just over 20000 at lvl 8 the other day!!!! yeye

i would have posted the score but my computer is f***ed up bad :P

That’s impressive, Nintendo luver, considering that there is no level 8 :p

a friend of mine made his own one of this the same thing but it had 100 levels that’s why it was so screwy on my computer i deleted it off though as after i saw this i thought that his was the Exact same sorry for the confusing post

Something to say?
