Lyricalwolf introduces ...
:biggrin: sry about the corny intro guys i just didnt know how else to start off haha...anywho, ive finished a rough draft version of my ddr/beatmania game.
well actually its more like beatmania if youve ever played the series from konami/ps2.
so far i have 4 notes that scroll from the bottom to the to pof the screen and when each not hits the top line you have to push the corresponding button for that note to get a point. I've seen and downloaded a DDR asm game and thought id try my hand at it.
Ive tried both home and graph screen modes...and of course i stuck with the homesreen lol...anyways its really fun but the songs take up alot of memory in the form of lists so i might try to put em to strings but i dont like the idea.
KK on to my Questions....
well i was wondering if there was anything close to rendering and accepting 2 or more button presses at once. what i mean is when i use getKey can the calc recognize 2 button down at once...in BASIC. i know its possible in asm but im curious if basic can do something at least similar if not exactly what i want.
well since i dont have any ti-ware at the moment...i'll wait to post my code and lists of my songs ive made for it..there awesome really!
well im working on gettin 5 notes wide onscreen at once with 8 lines of that.......so possibly a total of 40 notes onscreen at once! all scrolling lol...and guess what im pretty close with VERY fast speed....
ok guys tell me what ya think?  |

| The numpad is good for multi keypresses... (7 would be up and left, ect.) other than that, sounds good. |

you'll have to use an ASM library to get multiple keypresses, there are tons of them around i think.
Fortunately getkey is so very slow that you dont lose much speed if you trade it in for an ASM program. |

yeah i know. I was afraid you were gunna say that. was hoping that maybe one of these BASIC gurus new anything everyone else didnt. hmm well i guess ill use an asm lib.
hahah well so far its lookin good! ive got a 3, 4, and 5 note versions of the game.
im using disp " to scroll the notes upward. It's an awesome technique to use and very fast, but one prob is that i cant have anything outputted to the homescreen without being scrolled along lol...
here's my 3 note version feel free to try it and suggest anything that i could do to improve upon it
Code:
Clrhome
Delvar ADelvarSFor(C,1,7
Disp "
End
"OO__->Str0 // 2 spaces after the O's
For(A,1,dim(LII3 // LII3 is the list that has the song info
getKey
Output(8,4iPart(LII3(A)),sub(Str0,10fPart(LII3(A)),2
If A>7
S+(Ans-11=iPart(LII3(A-7->S //Keeps Score
Disp "
Output(2,1,S
Output(1,1,"***__**__**__*** //each __ is 2 spaces
For(C,1,50 //tempo of song
End
End
There it is and now you need a list to play the song
mine is this:
{1.1,1.3,3.1,3.3,1.1,1.3,..........
the iPart is the location of the note....1 is the left note...2 is the center.....and 3 is the right note
the fPart is of the note is on or off.... .1 means to display it .3 means a blank
so you can make your own list since i dont have alink cable... sry 
last but not least is use the window button for the left note, the zoom button for the center note and the trace button for the right note!
I still have lots to do....Options, Highscores, Menus, Tempos, Difficulty lvls but fear not because it shall be done!
Oh and if you dont know what you are supposed to do to play you need to hit the corresponding button to the note when it reaches the top line to get a point

A few changes here and there:
[font="courier new"]ClrHome
DelVar ADelVar SFor(C,1,7
Disp "
End
For(A,1,dim(LII3
LII3(A
Output(8,4,4iPart(Ans),sub("OO__",10fPart(Ans),2
If A>7
S+(getKey-11=iPart(LII3(A-7→S
Disp "
Output(1,1,"***__**__**__***
Output(2,1,S
rand(3
End
Your coding looks to be in great form—I hope to see more of it.

ah of course, the use of ans.....
then couldn't
[font="Courier"]S+(getKey-11=iPart(LII3(A-7→S
be...
[font="Courier"]S+(getKey-11=iPart(Ans->S
oh and just to correct in case someone puts the code in their calc
you also put
[font="Courier"]Output(8,4,4iPart(Ans),sub("OO__",10fPart(Ans),2
which should be...
[font="Courier"]Output(8,4iPart(Ans),sub("OO__",10fPart(Ans),2
ommitting the accidental 4 in the beginning
Hey thnx Goose i was hoping youd reply... since ive noticed your probably the best BASIC programmer here ( not intended to offend others..just from what ive seen )
cool thnx ill implement this into my other versions and when i have another but better rough version of the game ill post the code! Gracias |

This is looking good. I hope to see more of the game. Please don't stop this project! There are too many unfinished projects!  I'm going to finish my game too. I decided that I can't stay away from programming, so I'm gonna finish my game that I'm working on. Every time I start to think of new ideas for a game, I just block them out and think of other things! |

Quote: Hey thnx Goose i was hoping youd reply... since ive noticed your probably the best BASIC programmer here ( not intended to offend others..just from what ive seen ) Heh heh. Well, he is the most active in writing code examples for people here. So he probably gets a lot of practice and could beat most of us in a direct coding competition. But game design? I haven't really seen his work in that area. So at least that aspect is up for grabs!
Well, it's nice to have someone as skilled as him to rely on. Otherwise, I'd have to spend a lot more time answering your silly questions.  Thank you Weregoose! |

I agree, probably the best Basic way to do that. |

yes i also agree that's the best way to do pseudo-multiple keypresses in BASIC.
But, sry to say it will not be intuitive for my game. It's not arrows im using, each note look the same as the other one.. i could do it that way but then even i couldnt beat my own lvls lol....excellent idea though ill try to incorporate it into something else in the game..well thnx for the input!
Peace out---
edit.......
OK, well ive got my main menu screen up and running
its pretty cool.. here's the code if anyone can optimize it a little.
Code:
:ClrDraw:RecallPic 5
:Delvar K33->A:1->B
:While K != 21
:Delvar KFor(C,0,LBX(2B)-1
:Text(A,29+C,sub("__)8)___)8)8)__)8)8)8)__)8)!7!)__",LBX(2B-1)+C,1 //Its 2 spaces then 3,2,2,2 spaces
:End
:While not(K
:getKey->K
:A->D
:A+6(K=34)-6(K=25->A
:If A<33:51->A
:If A>51:33->A
:(((A/3)-10)+1)/2->B //That's (A=33)+2(A=39)+3(A=45)+4(A=51->B optimized
:End
:Text(D,29,"_______ // 7 spaces
:End
thnx!

It's been two days since your previous post, so I think it's fine to make another one without considering it a "bump."
Here you go:
[font="courier new"]ClrDraw
RecallPic 5
33→A:1→B
Repeat K=21
For(C,0,LBX(2Ans)-1
Text(A,C+29,sub("░░)8)░░░)8)8)░░)8)8)8)░░)8)!7!)░░",LBX(2Ans-1)+C,1 // 2, 3, 2, 2, 2 spaces
End
A→D
Repeat Ans
getKey→K
End
A+6((Ans=34)-(Ans=25
Ans+24((Ans=27)-(Ans=57→A
Ans/6-4.5→B
Text(D,29,"░░░░░░░ // 7 spaces
End
It would be favorable to turn off the grid and axes, as well as any previously-defined plots or functions that would intrude on the graph screen. (Don't worry about the displaying of coordinates, labels, or expressions.) Finally, storing to a graph database before the program should change stuff around and then recalling it at the end of the program would be beneficial to the user—it's nice to not have to manually set all the preferences again afterwards.

| You really should use numbpad though for one reason. A player can now hold the arrows down if there are multiple of the same in a row. |

??? I dont think i unsderstand exactly what u mean.
well, first of all there will never be the same position of notes in a row. In a column yes but not in a row. And second im not using any kind of arrows in this game, it's only like DDR in thats its notes(not arrows scroll upwards). hmm, could you explain better because the way i see it the numpad would be not intuitive AT ALL!
There are going to be 5 notes and each note is on its own x-coordinate.
thnx!
-----------------------
Oh and by the way thnx weregoose for the optimization. It saved me about 40 bytes and that is no small chunk! I felt kinda dumb after i saw your code. Lol, well im learning slowly but surely and next time i hope your optimizing will be less. And as for the GDB and FNoff, yeah that'll be in there i just didnt put it as a part to be optimized (although i dont know why i put the RecallPic in either.....)
Well, thnx guys and keep postin' |

lol, well since i dont have a working USB port for my 83+SE. i havent put one up yet.
okay i guess ill maunually input it into vti or something and run it and get a screen.
dont expect much though. lol the menu looks awesome but the actuall game is run off the homescreen..only way to do this type of thing without asm so....
but ill post it next post!

k guys here ya go!!

| *Drools* OMG! Those are pretty nice. But I'm not fully understanding the home-screen pic. What are the zeros? Are you supposed to like hit the F buttons at the top of the calc? |

Nice title screen - what does it say on the sides though? Roman numerals? |

[QUOTE=alexrudd]Nice title screen - what does it say on the sides though? Roman numerals?[quote]
well the first beatmania came out in Japan in the arcades.
That one only used 5 keys to play the game. then another version came out that used 7 keys and that was called beatmania II DX(Deluxe).
so i thought id put beatmania IIIDX = beatmania 3 Deluxe
.....
By the way, the 7-key version is in the U.S. now so you can get it at any gamestop.
Beleive me when i say this is the best game ever! Beware though because it has a really high learning curve. I've had the jap import for the PS2 for like 4 years and i still cant beat the toughest songs! |
