thin ice

I was thinking of making a game a puzle game actualy where you move this skater guy over a grid and when you leave a space you cant return to that space.
the goal is to completely clear all spaces in the level
it would probably be x-lib since pure basic would take to long, and asm is beyond my ability
it would be for the 83/84 i think ts simple enough concept that i might actually be able to complete it
I even got a good sprite for the skater guy( hes got a scarf and a hat)

000111100
100101000
011111000
000110100
001011000
000010000
001101100
(not very easy to see,where are my link cables)
if i do make it i might make a simple version first and then and only then i might make it that there is a time limit in witch you can stand on a space before it breaks and you lose, and maybe a level editor but thats o nly if i make the simple version first, and if i find my ti84
before i decide i need to know what you guys think and if this has already been done before please tell me

I could see it working. Not sure if it's been done before. Even if it had been, there's still plenty of room to add new twists to it.

YES! im gunna do it thats it ill doit and maybe ill work on my vocabulary as well(ok not so much with the vocabulary hear)

any way here is my development plan(completed steps are crossed off)
[s]1. make the engine in basic for the home screen[/s]
[s]2. adapt engine to xlib and graphscreen[/s]
[s]3. design appropriate sprites[/s]
[s]4 implement sprites into engine[/s]
5. make demo
6 develope levels
7 make rough draft of program
8 produce final draft
if possible after completion to make a second version with more features

I found my 84, I had left it in my physics class. because i could not find it i worked on the things in my development plan i could work on. I used my 89 to design the sprites for the game. ill post a screen shot of the sprites as soon as i find my linkcable.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Smile

Id really like to actually show my progress instead of talking about it but i cant find my link cable.

Good luck finding your cable. If worst comes to worst, you could always buy one, but then you always find what you lost the moment you buy a new one, it's just the sad fact of life. Laughing

the good thing about not knowing where my cable is is that i have more time to add extra stuff.
in fact just recently I added a second mode called skill mode.

I want to play. I cant wait.It sounds fun. I hope you find your cables soon.

It sounds fun indeed. Is it in pure basic, or does it use Celtic III/xLib?

GloryMXE7 · Posted: 27 Oct 2009 06:53:15 pm Post subject:

It uses X lib. the levels,there are 30 of them, are stored on the sprite map, the starting positions are stored in a list though. the levels are also used as sprites for the level select screen,which i am currently working on. there are a couple of things that need to be straightened out after i finish the level select screen, before i move on to making a setup program, and then onto final optimizations. if i haven't found my link cable by the time final optimization begins i'll buy or order a new one.

update level select done, just a few things to straighten out before i do some optimizations before i post peices of code i think probably could be optimized some more but not sure how

one more thing i just ordered a new link cable Laughing

dont know when ill get it though

Very nice looking!
I'm going to have fun with this game.

Done
you will have to get x-lib from somewhere else though

Wow, good job Glory! That game looks pretty neat. (Too bad I don't have a TI-83+ to play it on)

But I think it would be cool if the player's sprite changed depending on the direction he's facing, especially for left and right. Right now it looks like he's figure skating backwards when he's going left. :D

(I'm not trying to criticize your work--I think it looks awesome as it is.)

Looks nice, it has been done before, but maybe you could improve on the concept.

I remember seeing it as a Gym Puzzle in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, in the seventh gym you had to clear out the tiles before proceding further.
