Blobby's adventure 0x5

[cjgone]

THIS IS ONLY FOR THE TI-84 PLUS SE and 83 SE. I'm using the 15 mhz mode only available for these calcs.



*last screeny*


I thought it would be a good idea to post my new project thingy because it's Bungie day today ( kudos to Halo ftw).

To start it off, it's called Blobby's Adventure atm, some weird friend of Mario (maybe related to calc84maniac ) and symbolizes.. not to mention how little creativity I have.

Blobby's Adventure is a noobie side-scrolling\platformer game like thing that uses my amazing ineffecient coding skillz to the max.

To intesify the intensity (oh yea!), i'll list what's chillin' about this project. So far it supports:

->4 way smooth scrolling
->Support for objects and crap that are limited to 8x8 ( no bosses lol)
->Collision detection with the tile map AND the objects
->Animations and garbly stuff like that
->It runs on an interrupt for good speed consistency
->Written in assembly for maximum speed :}
->Other assembly exploitations for object to object creation\ etc.


hawwt

more hawtness <333

Thanks, yea, i'm not an artist, and no worries my bros, I only write free source codez atm so when the "product" is done, it'll have the pretty source code which is about 3,800 lines atm with some comments.

When i'm not surfing the internet or playing Halo, i'll give some time to this project.
Shame that with the other hardcore projects in works, my awesomeness is gonna be undermined. :[

Demo thingy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Graph = exit, left\right\up\down
Screen is not updated as it starts the thingy you gotta scroll around.
It has some goomba thingies that run around ( little animated feet lollll!), some coins that don't look like coins. You can jump around and stuff, which isn't any fun, but it will be fun when i finish it :D

Note:this project will deviate away from a mario look in some time, 'cuz this is mario's friend and he has his own adventure :thumbsup:

All routines written by others will be properly cited (like 4 routines, like fastcopy, putspriteXOR, etc)

This is a great start. I bet it would be easier for you to test if you updated the screen at the start. You can also use Wabbitemu to take screenshots.

View in firefox for full speed.

Looking pretty damned sweet cj! Im VERY impressed! .

How long have you been working on this?

[cjgone]

I've been working on this for a bit of time, just really haven't had time to get anywhere decent. However, luckily, it's summer, and I can actually make a full fledged game.

I also somehow need to get better grfx (you gotta admit, graphics do really make a game ). =X

Um, the game will have more speed later when I take some time to use a good interrupt comprimise to give the code the most speed it can use. Atm, it runs at a 3/110 second timer (counts 3 times at 110hz before looping the main loop). If i remove the interrupt, it becomes really fast which is good, noting that I have much more to add. ;-)

p.s Lol, the whole in the map was purposely done for other tests ;o.

[Liazon]

it looks pretty fast to me. maybe you should mask the sprite when it goes through the cloud things.

[cjgone]

ooh, yay got my first emulator downloaded in 2 yearz <3



thx wabbitemu :]

->object 2 object creation
->goomba pwnage
->more stuff comin' soon :]]]]]

[DigiTan]

Definately something for the community to look foreward too. It sort of takes me back to the SQRXZ character.

[Liazon]

nice! you know he kinda looks like kirby right now.

Er, updates: shell like thingy thing and block thats coin limited ;o


Um, atm, shell doesn't hurt other things.
Enemies can walk thru push blocks.


Things i will be working on:
->different collisions for different directional walking
->how objects are deleted, like atm all objects are deleted when they hit the screen edge and restored as of new...which is bad for objects that aren't supposed to come back
->more hardcore grfx and animations.



blobby's adventure iz teh pwnzsauce

Looks like you've got a really good begining here. I'm looking foward to seeing how it develops. The graphics dont really look to bad either.

[magicdanw]

Nice job! Only thing I noticed that I didn't like so much was that Blobby is xor-ed onto the screen. This makes him look weird when he goes in front of things. Maybe you should look into sprite masking for a different approach.

Other than that, awesome! I really look forward to a release!

[cjgone]

I'll be working on the sprite masking after I finish the general "engine" of the game.

I'll make everything into an "AND\OR" mask sprite in the end.. Making a mask for like 30 images is gonna be uber boring.

->Update, i made a custom object deletion thingy. F.E, theres the coin box thingy (the smily box lol), it's created when it comes to the screen. You hit it once, get a coin, and you leave the area, deleting the coin box when it hits the edge, resetting all data about it including how many coins it has already given... You come back and get another coin from the new box... glitch much? Well, now, that certain coin box is NOT deleted after it is created, meaning that you can't reset the number of allowed coins gotten to get an infinite coin supply.

->Shell now has double the speed as it previously did.

->other house-cleaning fixes.

spasm = spencer's assembler. check out the luby's thread on compiler issues. spasm2 is almost done. spasm1 did support this:

[WikiGuru]

Or use imagestudio... Draw your sprites, send it through imagestudio, and then copy/paste the code into your program. It even supports greyscale (up to 8 levels).

[cjgone]

I do use image studio, but i dunno if it can make a mask?

[DigiTan]

In think right now, Spasm is poised to integrate all the relevant features of Paint, Image Studio and possibly even a few image compression algorithms into a single interface. For now, things seem to be moving in the right direction anyway, so I'd just keep it mind when you start up the and/xor redrawing.

[Liazon]

ya, pitty you usually can't paintbucket what you want to be the mask. too much overflow. though nothing wrong w/ making masks by hand.
