Quote: Syntax
Starting Positions are stored to first 5 elements of L1
1 - A X location
2 - D Y location
3 - B Velocity
4 - E Can't seem to find
5 - H Jump
Displays are after the first five elements
.1 - Line
1 - X1
2 - Y1
3 - X2
4 - Y2
.2 - Horizontal
1 - Y
.3 - Vertical
1 - X
.4 - Point Change
1 - X
2 - Y
.5 - Jump Tube
1 - X
2 - Y
3 - Height
.6 - Jump pad
1 - X
2 - Y
You should be able to figure out how to display text on your own, it uses .7
Example: 10,10,0,0,0,.3,10 would create a level where you start at 10,10 and there's a verticle line at 10.
Here are directions for display (which are for now, unoptimized):
Code:
L1(1->A
L1(2->D
L1(3->B
L1(4->E
L1(5->H
ClrDraw
for(K,6,dim(L1)-6
If .6=L1(K
Then
Line(L1(K+1),L1(K+2),L1(K+1),L1(K+2)+1
K+2->K
End
If .5=L1(K
Then
Line(L1(K+1),L1(K+2),L1(K+1),L1(K+1)+L1(K+3
Line(L1(K+1)+3,L1(K+2),L1(K+1)+3,L1(K+1)+L1(K+3
K+3->K
End
If .7=L1(K
Then
Text(L1(K+1),L1(K+2),sub("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ:[degree symbol]()[]{}! ",L1(K+3),1
K+3->K
End
If .1=L1(K
Then
Line(L1(K+1),L1(K+2),L1(K+3),L1(K+4
K+4->K
End
If .2=L1(K
Then
Horizontal L1(K+1
K+1->K
End
If .3=L1(K
Then
Vertical L1(K+1
K+1->K
End
If .4=L1(K
Then
Pt-Change(L1(K+1),L1(K+2
K+2->K
End
End

You will notice from the first post I have edited the code with optimizations (some of mine, some of Weregooses (THANKS!)).
What I need to do:
-Levels.
-Key's and door's.
-Switches (almost done).
-Automatic level changing every few seconds (almost done).
-Dying (as of now you are imortal, doesn't it feel great) (the only way I can think of doing this is to slow to be exceptable, it's not the actual dying, it's the detection of death).
Now I have come to understand one thing about this game that I had not realised before. I have absolutly no idea where I am going to go with this. So far this is not a game, it is a dot running around the screen pulling switches and finishing small maps. I have no clue where to take this game. Not even a small one. If you have any thoughts, PLEASE tell me. |

You could turn the game into your standard platform game with enemies and puzzles and a lame storyline.
OR you could make the non-standard platform game where you have enemies, puzzles, and a good storyline. Unfortunately I'm terrible at coming up with storylines so I couldn't help you in that way.
But to actually add some content to this post, you could not turn it into a "Game" but rather put in formulas to make accurate physics, and make it a fun simulator for kinetics. Or maybe, I don't have any good ideas. |

| I pretty much want it to be a platformer witha a cheesy storyline but the thing is I'm not sure if the engine can support enemies that move at least none that I have been able to come up with... depressing isn't it. |

Draw screen, except for enemies.
Store it to picture.
Update statplot with enemies.
Recall picture.
It might be somewhat flickery, but could feasibly work. |

| Recalling pictures does not clear the screen. It only ORs all the pixels with data contained in it (just turns on whatever was on when you stored, not turn off whatever was off) |

He'll almost have greyscale if that goes fast! But in the other case, it will only be flickery. |

Ah, that's what I thought you meant. Actually recalling a picture refreshes the image by itself. The main probelm with this that with the main character being only one pixle it really disrupts how it looks and if the character was any bigger the swinging around poles feture would not work.
Fallen ghost, this is pure basic so no grayscale. |

I've had the same problem with N. A nice engine but no game or enemies. If you come up with something, let me know.  |

| Is it possible to have an enemy that simply rolls across the screen and doesn't have an AI and if you touch it you die. Kinda like a gomba in Mario, except you can't jump on top of it. |

| bananaman, that's what I was thinking, but there is still a hit detection problem, I'm working on adding animatedwater (It barely slows the game down, you can't swim so if you touch it you die). |

I don't think the enemies need to be too sophisticated. Just some simple variations of the regular walking and jumping and creatively designed levels could make for a fun challanging game.
Also you don't have to have every different type of thing on the screen at the same time, like one level could have water another spikes and another enemies. |

| The trouble really with enemies is hit detection, since the hit detection used in this game is pxlTest( it does not differenciate between the different types of enemies and barriers, any solution would be accepted with open arms, except for turning to asm libs.. Water effect is done. The same effect will be used for spikes once I get around to it, it's only a small modification. |

| You could make it differentiate. Have a pixel test and a conditional making sure that it's the enemy. You would probably only have to check to see if they're in the same location. May slow it down significantly though. |

Hmm, guess my post never went through (wifi problems.)
If you use StatPlots, it's reasonably efficient to just use max(<x_coord> = <x_list> * <y_coord> = <y_list> |
