Yeah we all noticed that. You're the first one to upload all the code though. Hopefully all the tips he has gotten will speed up Contra a WHOLE bunch by the next release.

Pfft, a running tackle.

hey bryan i can tell you for sure this will be a program that will be on ticalcs news headlines becuase i would say this program is better than most of the basic programs i seen! No offense to Kerm Martin!

I'm not really a big Kerm fan, and I definitely think "Civilization Simulator" should not have been featured. That game was SO slow, and sucked. Like Keith said, there's almost no doubt it will get featured on ticalc. Make sure you include an animated screenshot! Oh and the moment you submit it, all of us will go to ticalc and give you the best reviews ever!

oh yeah! But hey u have to give Kerm some credit he does make so good games and programs,but others are real good! The newest one civilization simulator is cool but the shell he made was pretty useless! All of the code is mainly is basic!

I am sorry hart, but I deleted your post. You did not have permission to alter the game and then post it to the whole world. I was very upset to see it and I hope you will not do it again. And as far as everyone trying to make me reduce the program to one program, its just not gonna happen unless you want a slow game. Because even as hart said, it slowed it down.

Besides your program was obsolete anyway, I have changed it alot, so you pretty much wasted your time...

Level 2 done: working on new boss feature, and level 3

hmm, considering that that is a laser arcane, i would hold up a mirror to dodge it.
so, about how many programs do you think will be in the final version bryan?

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 23 Feb 2004 01:49:22 pm Post subject:

1) It's not a laser,
2) deflecting isn't dodging.

What's the big deal with having more than one program anyway?

i dont mind. some people were complaining that it cluttered their program menu

hey if certain people are upset of having more than one program why dont they wait and see if Bryan puts it in basic builder and makes a app? God i dont really know what the big deal is! Neutral

speaking of basicbuilder bryan i was wonder if when u release the new contra with less progs if i could put it in basicbuilder if not to release to ticalc, to at least let me keep it for myself and a few friends at my school who like it Laughing

i dunno. he might. he chewed me out for making some of his code smaller AND faster....

Bryan Thomas · Posted: 23 Feb 2004 10:16:57 pm Post subject:

lol, everyone acts as if Im the bad guy Sad

. I just do not think its right that people think they can edit someones code, or modify it. Then have a copy of it on the internet, without the true makers permission. It is just not right and is somewhat unfair to the maker. Its alot easier to criticize code, then it is to make it. The code may all be easily understood, but the methods and brainstorming for the ideas behind the code, is what making a game is all about. So please, stop worrying so much about the subroutines/code. I will take care of it. Because as I have said and said and said again, I am not to worried bout code right now, b/c I am constantly adding stuff, so why make it all perfect, then add stuff, then have to make it perfect again? just makes no sense to me... Neutral

So Ill leave you this:

Some of the best programmers, can have the worst games. Its not the code that makes a game good, or bad...

if you can find a way to be the "bad guy" after what you've done with contra, let me know asap :P

you can never please everyone, just keep that in mind when you finish this game (one thing i learned in sim city 3000 that was actually true).

Just to kind of throw my opinion in last minute here, but I'd rather have a large scale basic program broken up into multiple programs. Who cares if it clutters up the program menu? It's easier to find stuff, it's easier to isolate problems, and it's faster. Laughing

Jedd · Posted: 23 Feb 2004 11:52:06 pm Post subject:

That's not really the issue. I agree, multiple programs isn't a big deal. But some people want to convert Contra to an App by using BasicBuilder. In order to do so, it needs to be in 1 program.

Keith Pierce · Advanced Member Joined: 02 Feb 2004 Posts: 411

Hey If he decides to put it in basicbuilder and is afraid that there will be extra memory not being used then why dont he put another game in to it and have it a doubled app! One part with the contra game and the other part being another game!

Jeremiah Walgren · Posted: 24 Feb 2004 02:39:58 pm Post subject:

But what would the other game be? Suggestions, anyone?

Bryan Thomas · Posted: 24 Feb 2004 05:28:47 pm Post subject:

Well, I have alot of games I could put in the app, such as maybe enslaver, MineZ, hangman, or Small games like tunnel X83 or Pulse/Shokwave. But in the end I plan on releasing an all BASIC contra (not converted to BasicBuilder), and 1 version that is converted with BasicBuilder, I will probably put it in the same zip file. That way everyone is happy. Very Happy

Yeah I guess we all have alot of diffferences in opinoin when it comes to Subroutiens and code, but overall I shall do my best to satisfy the majority of you. Razz
