Trigonometry Wars


Trigonometry Wars is 71M's entry for the NEO Summer Coding Contest 2006 for PSP Games. Based on the Xbox 360 game Geometry Wars, this is one hell of an addictive game. It's also pretty hard. You have to move your little ship around by firing your thrusters (Left Trigger) and bumping into walls. The Right Trigger is used to shoot, and the analog stick is used to swing your ship to face the direction in which you wanna shoot. The Triangle button lets you fire a smart bomb for those times when you're swamped by enemies.

Here are the Hiscore controls :
  • Left trigger = Delete letter
  • Right trigger = Enter letter
  • Cross = Accept name
Thanks to Scott for the tip!

NOT A ORIGINAL ENTRY

IF IM NOT MISTAKEN THE RULES FOR THE CONTEST WHERE "AN ORGINAL IDEA" WELL FOR THE FACT THIS IS A COPY OF A GAME ON THE XBOX WHICH QUALIFYS IT AS NOT A ORGINAL IDEA AND SECONDLY THERES BEEN A GAME VERY SIMIULAR TO THIS ONE ALREADY OUT FOR THE PSP... OPPSS!

Awesome

This is very well done and addictive as hell. Excellent piece of homebrew. The difficulty scaling is pretty weak though. Once you get the firepower upgrade you can sit in the middle of screen and rack up points, lives, and smart bombs forever. I got to 2 million with 25 lives and 7 bombs and gave up because my left hand was cramping.

Great game.

Ah man, I thank you a lot. You should make an update though, and add music to it. That was one of the ibggest things for me in the 360 version was the music beating in the background.
by - 2006-08-06 20:00:21
Nice job

Could use music like Shilou said (make it an on/off option), bullet sound effects would be nice also.
by - 2006-08-06 20:26:10
Score

Yay 143900 i had 4 lives and bombs.. then mom distrubed me and i lost all ma lives while i wasnt looking. O well great game ^^ controls need sorting a bit tho and the wikkid music from 360 would be awesome. I go round my mates house just to play geowars!!!
by - 2006-08-06 20:28:43
music

Best thing would be ability to play our own mp3's from the msuic folder.

titles are for titlers

it needs a pause button, or is there one? i loved it, it was a nice playing game, if added features were added it would be one loved homebrew game
by - 2006-08-06 21:10:09
Very Nice

wow very nice. I cant use the home button to exit the game though. Music and sound effects if it wouldnt be asking to much. Very impressive with the graphic but after playing the 360 version for hours on end these graphics are alittle dull. But still for homebrew its awesome.
by - 2006-08-06 22:03:22
well

Well this game has good coding but to tell u the truth controles suck bad... use the nub or the dpad not a flippin trigger it makes it so much harder and its stupid. also fix the turning for the guy when he shoots.
by Shilou - 2006-08-06 22:10:49
Tip.

If you use IR SHell with this game, you can get all the features you're missing such as Music, Esc button, More Speed in the more Graphical spots, and a Pause button.
by - 2006-08-06 23:00:58
kick ass

Twas the best thing about my 360 when I first got it.....well it still is kinda. Great port thus far. Wish the movement wasn't like asteroids though. I second using the nub for movement, then have the X O triangle and square as firing (like smash tv) then R would be bomb. Thank you so much for porting. Looking forward to future version with more enemies.(maybe a little harder too. i just stood still in the center and got a million points)

Vector Infector

Actually a homebrew from a few months ago already accomplished this but it seemed to never have left beta. Give a search for Vector Infector, would be great if the author of that and 71M could join forces to complete it.
by - 2006-08-07 00:16:18
Awesome Job

Hope he continues work on this, beutiful job thus far. I don't have a 360 but my brother does and this game on a 50+inch hdtv looked amazing!
by Sephiroth1089 - 2006-08-07 00:48:43
works on 2.6

yay it works on 2.6, i hope music will be added or a custom soundtrack option where u can put a song file in the folders to be added. but other than that its amazing!
by - 2006-08-07 01:31:23
so is there no way?

so is there no way to exit this game other than playing it through IR shell?
by - 2006-08-07 02:04:59
oowww

i'm not good at math!!!! trigonometry,geometry...is there an algebra???
by - 2006-08-07 02:35:08
Shut it

To: Hecktic- we dont care(well, I dont at least:-D) keep your un happy ramblings to your self its a good game, dammit!
by - 2006-08-07 03:50:27
Score

Currently and still going strong with 719,000 11 Lives 5 Bombs and Triple Shot.
by - 2006-08-07 04:14:28
Too Easy

Okay seriously now, this game is way too easy, the lack of a pause (IR Shell doesn't count) ruins the game, makes it go on FOREVER. Weren't there more enemies?
by - 2006-08-07 04:33:46
'Forced' to lose

I ended with 2,917,950 After forcing myself to lose, seriously that's not fun. Though the style and coding rocks it gets way too repetitive with the same enemies.
by - 2006-08-07 05:16:07
wow

best looking homebrew game... I know it's kinda simple but it still looks as cool as the 360 version... well, ya know, like a psp version... but MUSIC folder would be nice
by - 2006-08-07 05:21:41
idiots

"Based on the Xbox 360 game Geometry Wars, this is one hell of an addictive game." have u ever heard of Asteroids? too many kids around.

Can Somebody Tell Me...

1ST POST!!!!
by - 2006-08-07 09:50:00
trig?

so what does this have to do with trigonometry? Looks like space invaders meets asteroids to me...
by - 2006-08-07 10:38:23
Nice, but...

I hate the controls. I would drop the thrusters and just make the analog move in the respective direction. Right now it plays like Resident Evil, which is...hmm. Not a fan of relative movement. Nice looking game though, good times.
by - 2006-08-07 11:41:51
yes!

i love this game on xbox now it's on psp
by - 2006-08-09 15:04:54
moving around

it would be sweet if you could choose your controls on how to move around and shoot cause when you move around you will most likely die
by - 2006-08-11 09:51:56
How to:

How do you install Trigonometry Wars on to your PSP? What Firmware version does Triginometry Wars require?
