LineRider in Axe for TI83/84+SE

Dapianokid · Posted: 16 Jan 2013 04:30:18 pm Post subject: LineRider in Axe for TI83/84+SE

I’m writing a viable LineRider port in Axe, for people to take the game with them wherever! It started as a way to teach myself more about programming, instead of trivial knowledge of calculators, but ultimately became a real possibility!
Already complete:

Cursor routines,
part of the map saving routines,
part of map rendering routines.

TODO:

Sprites,
finish line drawing routines,
physics engine (Biggest part of project, I’m going to have to contact the author of the online flash original.),
HUD,
Title screen.

I could use a lot of help, here, no matter what that may mean for my dignity and mean to whats currently there in my program.

I remember when this came out and was all the rage. I look forward to this port Smile

BLeh I'm a slow worker. But I'm trying to get it done, without just giving up. I'm not that good at programming xD

Well I'm actually hoping that nobody will help me. I am trying, really hard, to be a self-sufficient problem solving programmer. I am much better with hardware, apparently.

do you actually know how the physics engine in question is going to work? until you have a working copy of that, don't assume that it's possible. advanced 2d physics with slopes, friction, and acceleration (not to mention a smooth-scrolling camera) are a very tall order on a platform like the 83+

the closest i've ever seen was deep's attempt at porting Fancy Pants Adventures:

he has had years of experience, but still wasn't able to make a finished project out of this.
that's not to say you shouldn't try, though. good luck!
