At the moment, this is not a serious project. I just wanted to show that decent physics could be made in BASIC.

Hmm, this shows up as Mgame as a topic, and NGAME in the screenshot... 😉 Fixed. 🙂
Oh, and that looks nice. 🙂
I titled it MGame to avoid any possible copywrite infringements, but I guess it's not the end of the world since theirs is N Game, not NGame. 😁
I don't think they'd care though. They're pro-free online games. 👍
i think in the credits, they even said something about letting people port so long as credit is given where it's due. They even released source w/ explanation.
The disadvantage for ASM is the slowness of floating point. At least fixed point works pretty well, but I have no idea how to implement it due to lack of experience.

What? Floating point isn't a problem for ASM, and if it was, it would be a bigger problem for every other language ever created that can use FP numbers..... (Unless you mean floating point is a problem for BASIC - as the vars are computed in FP even if it doesn't need to be)
Sorry, I meant using floating point was considerably slower than using fixed point and bit shifts. Some people I've talked to have suggested using fixed point math as opposed to floating point for physics based games for ti calc. I can understand where that may be faster though. And besides, it seems fixed point truncates very nicely for screen purposes.
That's just what i know though. But then again, I don't know much about physics anyways. ☹️
Fixed point is definitely the way to go. Also, to save accuracy, it's good to do several non-displayed frames in between the ones that are displayed.
hmm, maybe this can be the start of a TI-BASIC version of the popular flash game N? Sounds good to me, I love N!
axcho on UTI did a pretty good job. Things just got slowed down when it came to enemies and stuff. ☹️
Yeah, that's the hard part, the enemies. As I said, though, I definitely might be willing to attempt this in ASM at some point.
As if you don't have enough on your plate already? 🙄

😄 You don't want me to pwn your projects? And yes, jpez, I'd wait until SC and DCS are done.

rofl, that is because you didn't look in the contest admin page... 😉
I looked now... nothing except the discussion of the prizes and working out details... 😕
you have not been to the admin page then, it is a php script on the main site.
Still can't find it; care to PM me the link?
