recreation of Excite Bike, check it out
This was the final project for one of my CS classes, we had one month and four people to remake (with enhancements) the NES game Excite Bike. This is not the final turn in version, but pretty close so hopefully its in a relatively working state =p. Its unfortunately probably a resource hog so ensure to try to run it in full screen. If it still has low FPS, I apologize =/. Anyways, if you find any issues, let us know with the contact info in the README, or just post here. After the project is completely turn in, I will consider posting the source code pending any serious issues.
Thanks and hopefully enjoy...

LadyFoxy,any more info possibly on what happened when you tried to run it?windowed mode? fullscreen? If you tried fullscreen, try a couple times, its a bit shaky =/ Yeah for amateur programming!
It's very nice!
You should get a fine grade.
Although it didn't act sluggish at all, it would occasionally "freeze" for a second or two when I ran it in windowed mode. The full screen mode worked quite well with no pauses at all.

Thanks for the fun!

guys,what systems are these:In windowed mode: played it for a complete hour, not even a single flicker of freeze.P4 2.266, 256Mb DDR, 16MB ATI RAGE
my best guess is, full screen doesn't have to worry about all the background applications being drawn, and I believe there is more hardware acceleration full screen than windowed
for those still interested, while I wish I could fix most of the serious bugs, more than likely this will be the last release and was the version that was turned in. The game download as well as the source code is available at the bottom of this webpage
