[contest] Pacman
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:04:51 pm »
I know it isn't really playable on calc, unfortunately I have only tested it on the emulator before entering, and made the speed so that it's good there :(

When will it be allowed to release an updated version? After the voting?

if it's just a minor fix, like changing a timer, resubmit it and the updated version will be used instead. squidget also had a minor bug that drastically influenced gameplay, and he was allowed to update it. major updates, though (more than two or three lines of code) are too much.

it was only that the speed of all characters was set too slow, they moved 1/12 of a pixel per frame but they should move half a pixel.

Oh yes it would be cool, it is a bit too slow on calc indeed.. ^^
Nice game otherwise ! :)

EDIT : other thing : there is only one monster when I play. The others remain in the middle square. :/

That's a side effect of if being too slow...

Good to see there's at least one Ndless/C program for the contest :) Nice job lkj.

Thanks :)

It's just not finished yet, and I have a weird bug which I have no clue what causes it.

Didn't you say that the speed difference between calculator and nspire emu should be very small? This would mean I have a weird problem with a 6 times slower program on calc.

That would be strange, as IIRC nspire_emu always tries to emulate the real speed.
Possibly some hardware (such as the NAND) might be faster in the emulator.

Anyway, looks like a nice game. Will try it soon :)

Update!  :)
  • everything is controlled by a timer now, that means no more strange problems with the ghosts staying in their den or floating through walls
  • changed the graphics for b/w calcs, it should now be playable also on them
  • improved enemies in general
  • closed memory leak and cleaned up the code

Tell me what you think about the speed of this version: too slow or good?

I still need to make a title screen and the AI is also a bit strange right now...

Only today i've had the chance to try it out and it looks great to me ;). It's a shame we don't have sound (yet?) to better revive oldish and already fading memories.
In the emulator the speed looks fine to me.

Sound would indeed have been awesome. I wonder if standard USB speakers with a small USB adapter would work? In Lua sound was already attempted but it was played over the calculator dock.

I'll have to play the new version soon, but I tried the contest updated version and it was already great. :) The graphics are very similar to the NES one.

I'm glad you like it :)

I think USB speakers are possible, but as I don't know much about USB I'll have to wait until someone else makes it.

Cool game, I like (:
BTW, the game sometimes glitches in the map generation, weirdly.
My calc IS overclocked
