Bamzooki

[yugitom]

That's kind of like what mine looks like :P Try not to enter that, haha.

Also, guys, I may have tracked down a guy with a copy of the original game. Anyone remember Masterath? He didn't make that many posts here but I believe he entered a tournament. Anyway, he made a Bamzooki vid about 5 years ago and he's still active on YouTube. I commented on his most recent video asking him whether he still has a copy of the original game and he says he does. Hopefully, he'll provide us with a copy and we can have more than just 3 events :D

Ah, sweet news.

EDIT: Proposed 'classes' of zook.

4 sizes using the base squares as measurement

<12 squares - Small

12-30 squares - Medium

30-56 squares - Large

>56 - Unlimited

Or it may be easier to measure in terms of volume with a max size cube.

[Thrackerzod]

I've been really enjoying this game.

EDIT: Proposed 'classes' of zook.

It might be easier to measure in terms of length/width/height/weight as seen on the info screen for each zook.

ALSO: How do make them have not-abysmal turning circles?

In that case have base area within a certain size.

Say 100cm² max for "Small"
400cm² max for "Medium"
900cm² max for "Large"
And anything goes above that.

As for turning, there are some options in the movement menu for the base body part.

How do make them have not-abysmal turning circles?

Check the motion tab for the brain body part of the Zook (this'll be the one you started off with) and one of the sections should have sliders for the Zook's ability to turn. I believe they are sharpness (how sharply the zook turns) and sensitivity (i'm not sure how exactly this effects the zook, usually I put this at 50-75, works for most Zook designs.) How sharp the turning should be is usually dependent on the Zook's traction.

Sorry if I'm not quite right there. I may be experienced, but I mainly used this when I was about 10-12 years old. My knowledge on building has deteriorated a little.

This thing seems interesting, if i can get it to work on my Windows 8 laptop that is

[Sircreepalot2]

i got it to work on windows 10 first try so thats cool

[Mystic2000]

yeah, got it to work, and my first zook attempt is turning into some unborn abomination

[cephalopod]

Just a bit of banto, take it with a grain of salt.

Just banto.


EDIT: can't get the software to work for the life of me. A shame, I really loved the show as a kid.

Sweet, this version is so much better.
Shame the zooks I made in SR aren't compatible.

SR wont even let me test the zooks!


EDIT: uh.. where's the actual game for the copy that was just uploaded?

It Upload Form desktop?

I just extracted the folder somewhere.
Then there should be 3 shortcuts in the folder for the zook kit, simulator and movie thingy.

When I click on them, it says the shortcut path doesn't exist.

Me too I click on them, it says shortcut path doesn't exist, so I can't play on it.

I knew I could find someone with this version if I dug hard enough, haha. Thank you so much, mate :)

Well, you'll see what the path it's looking for is. It'll be Program Files x86/Bamzooki, so just replicate that. Take the Bamzooki folder out of the Bamzooki Masterath folder and plop it in your Program Files x86 folder.

[DeadGenocide]

It's not working for me...
It keeps on crashing.

[Avalanche]

For those having issues launching the game, change the 3 shortcuts to "C:\Program Files (x86)\BAMZOOKi\ instead of Program Files, because Bamzooki was made before even Program Files x64 or x86 was a thing. Also, do you think anyone else has a copy of the game with some of the online uploaded zooks on it? Would be interesting to find some of them.
