Will upload here in a sec...

Done.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Cool it worked! I'll prbly put a screenshot up, though, for those who want to see before downloading.

[Darl181]

Awesome, thanks
I'll need to throw something together for axpirin, i guess...will do tonight

[DJ Omnimaga]

THat will most likely make news too. I wanted to post one but then I forgot, plus I wasn't sure if Axpirin would get another update right afterward. Not tonight, though, due to the Eee Zor thing.

[Darl181]

Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to post axpirin.  Will be in dl section shortly

Wait nvm I did.  oops

[DJ Omnimaga]

Which game are you uploading by the way? I don't remember if THE world hardest GAME and Spacerun were finished so I was wondering...

[Darl181]

Spacerun was finished, twhg is...idk...i might finish it
I still have the levels as ~700-byte appvars and the source as backup files on my calc, so there's the opportunity.

Sey, I tsol eht emag.

Old screenie is old, and axpirin screenie is old.  So, not uploaded tonight
Gives me time to compose a readme though

[DJ Omnimaga]

I see, I hope you finish it ^^

[Darl181]

Readmes sometime this week and/or tonight.
I need to write them for axpirin, spacerun, onslaught and duel.

Tentatively, TWHG is being continued.  I spent a good part of the day trying to fix a minor display bug in the level editor.  So yeah, in a week or so there might be an update

EDIT: Before somebody asks what TWHG is, look at the sig.  "TWHG stands for The World's Hardest Game"

[DJ Omnimaga]

Cool to hear, I hope there's an update soon.

[Darl181]

Yeah, it's so random and hard to read the source that I think I'm just going to re-write it.
What I had been doing was modding the source to add something,  but it's getting to the point where it can't be modded much more.

Which leaves open how I'm going to write the level select GUI.  Suggestions will be appreciated.


Another idea i got was to port Zero Wing to axe, and no, not for the all your base thing, though it would probably include it

[DJ Omnimaga]

Lol ok. Just one thing to remember: If you ever work on a massive project like an RPG, try to not end up rewriting over and over, because I saw people fall into that endless loop before and take years to finish a project. X.x

And LOL it would be cool to have a Zero Wing clone. After all, the game was not that bad, but it has to include the engrish . One thing I thought about is having two versions included, where at the beginning you select "New english translation" and "Original english translation". Otherwise you could just make two executables. People would be able to see how crappy the original English translation was.

[Darl181]

Okay, IDK what's wrong with this.

Theoretically, C should change.  ++ every box every time a box turns black, -- for every box turned white.  Thing is, a good part of the time it doesn't.
C is the remaining number of black blocks to be turned off.  Clearly, it's not accurate.
I think there's a problem with it storing in L₁.  but it's always worked fine before
If you hold 2nd, data comes up.  C is explained above, and the game ends when getkey(15) or C=0[zero].
D is the pointer's location.  The formula is Y*24+X→D.  ie if the selector is in the 9th row and the 3rd column, D is 3*24+9=81.  The xy coordinates are next.  (When drawn to the screen, they're inflated by 4.)
"L1+D" should be the status of the block beneath the selected square.  1 is off, 2 is on.

Can't make screenie now, if someone can make one it would be great.  

[note to concerned people: yes, twhg is in the works.  it's not going very well, though]

[DJ Omnimaga]

I made a screenshot, although I wasn't too sure what to do. Is it a game where you must turn OFF all blocks successfully? Also sorry to hear about TWHG

[Darl181]

Is it a game where you must turn OFF all blocks successfully?

Yes.  Tio stood for turn it off.
I actually kind of liked the sound of 'tio' (say it out loud, it just sounds like a good game name) so I changed this one to lightoff.
Tio the platformer is somewhat physics-based.  So far I have rudimentary gameplay and a level editor.  And only about 3.5K
