Light Cycles

Here’s a neat Light Cycles clone I wrote a few years back using a program called Game Maker. I never finished it completely, but it’s very close to a complete game. There are a couple bugs with it, but it’s generally pretty fun. I’ve thought about redoing it in C++ or GML again, but decided against it – I have a lot of other things to work on. Here are a couple screenshots:

There are some problems running on Windows Vista, but I was able to convert the application to run OK using a program written by the creator of Game Maker. Be sure you download the correct version. There are no installers or anything like that, but the game does require that you have both the .exe and the .ini file in the same directory.
