Title: A couple sprites/title screen
Post by: _player1537 on September 01, 2010, 07:02:47 pm
Working on a small pong game in C.  Could I get some better paddle, and ball sprites than what I threw together in 5 seconds?  Also a nice title screen would be cool :)  If possible the title screen would need:
-Play game
-difficulty < x >
-Exit


Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Totally forgot, 16 level greyscale 320x240

Here ya go. I made these to go with a black background, since that is that pong was.  ;)  I can probably get to a title screen too.

EDIT:Here's the title. It's kinda plain, but then again, it is Pong , so it actually works out.

I don't think it is worth it to do a title screen at 320x240.  It adds a massive amount of memory to the program (about 30K, if I am not mistaken).  A better idea would be to use sprites used by the program, or simply draw smaller sprites to the screen (or mask them with a background).  That is what I am doing for Block Dude (which will be with the next update when I change to passwords you actually type in).

O.O

really? Darn that's big... I agree with apcalc, though. One thing I would do is draw the Pong word/effects plus the rest of the text as sprites, but the entire black area should not be sprite data.

Alright, well here's just the title and the extra balls for that cool effect. I guess you can just use whatever type the Nspire has for the menu items.

This looks kinda cool. Also the pong chars fits the '70s a lil bit, the time at which the game was released ;D

Amazing :D  I love your sprites :P  Just tried to SC the first title, it was 38400 bytes.  When I get time, I'll switch everything to a black background, and add in the title screen :)
