So, TAO: Unleashed needs a main menu? And since I fail at making anything larger than 1x1, I'm asking YOU to help me out! Best one wins their username/name in the game.
Okay, so the basic idea is it has to have 3 things:
1) The name in it. Creative, but readable. TAO is a lot bigger than unleashed.
2) Room for me to have 3 options "Play", "Credits", and "Exit". There will be a sword about 8 (length) x 5 (height) pointing to each of the Play/Credits/Exit options (Now known as PCE for simplicity). So, anything like that would work. If you want to try your hand at the sword, be my guest.
3) It's gotta be very interesting. The idea is "beasts" unleashed. It also has the connotation of being Light vs. Dark. So, anything with that is nice.
I'm looking for monochrome, but if you can give me 3 lvl grayscale, I'll accept that as well.
Thank you, and good luck!
EDIT: Also, full TI-83/84 screen is the size that needs to be made.
-
Here is my attempt :)
-
I like this so far, but I wonder what would be the thing at the bottom below the Unlreashed text? ???
-
I like it too, except I don't know what's under Unleashed either. Otherwise, looks nice!

I think it's just abstract art :P
I tried making a menu twice, but failed twice too :(
-
Yeps, its just abstract ^^ lol i have no idea what it is eaither

I dunno what the deal is... I like it ;D

Hmm, can you add something based on the one-tail?:
(http://tao.wikidot.com/local--files/files/1%20tale%20kyuubi.gif)
That would be interesting. I just don't really fully like the abstract, ya know. It looks kinda like some snail coming out saying rawr. ;-) Otherwise, it's nice.
-
grphmastur: I love the one made by player1537 on Cemetech ;D
-
How about this? Also, if you wanted, maybe have instead of static fire for the title screen, I could whip up some animated and dynamic flames? :]

What about the white pixels in the black area blink?

Something like this:

HOLY COW!
You have mad skillz.
/me 's respect for you >9000

Note that it looks particularly better on calc :)

/me faints

Something like this:
I think it is supposed to be something like peaceful (balance, etc), so the fire... hum... But grphmastur is the coder, so he knows :P

The idea is "beasts" unleashed.
peaceful eh? ;)

looool, yeah you're right then, but TAO once told me it was about this:
(http://www.google.com/url?source=imgres&ct=img&q=http://www.arterimalaysia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/yin-yang.jpg&sa=X&ei=dTlYTc--Dof24Abdqa2pBw&ved=0CAQQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNF2kAEjcZJSulc7epRyeaLhYiq6vQ)
-
well we shall just have to see how he likes it :)

icwutudidthar, builder XD
it looks very nice, but the bottom half of the screen being static with so much noise up above is a little odd...
i can think of two things that may help: swapping the top and bottom halves (flipping the PEC section to hang from the top of the screen instead of sticking up from the bottom), or maybe make black "flames" drip from the top of the screen instead of white moving up(although the lettering would have to be black, then, which may not work that well).

I disagree, though, I like it that only one part is flaming :P
-
I like it flaming, and I think the bottom is kinda stagnant. How about outlining the letters in black, making the fire (And I hope you'll show me how to code that in asm) go from the bottom up. Or do something else for the bottom. The two basic things I see now are:
1) The TAO needs to be readable well enough. It may be more readable on calc, who knows. ;-)
2) I don't like the beast being there after all, I think that'll be more of a spoiler anyway, so let's not do that.
-
Wow, that's ridiculous. Mad props Builderboy! ;D
-
Hah alright, lemme work on something new. As for the fire, the code is actually very simple. I'll give the Axe source right here:
Basically it takes each byte in the upper portion of the screen, OR's a bit onto it, AND's the Title from it, and then puts it back one row up :)
-
Oh, that shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm looking forward to what you try next.
-
Bump
-
Thanks qwerty. Okay, so I understand your method from the axe source code, but is there any way to do it using the SafeCopy routine found here (http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=Z80_Routines:Graphic:Fastcopy#Safe_Copy). I'm using this in an app, and so the image it's displaying is only located inside the app, and is therefore not editable, and I don't have two buffers. Any ideas? I also, removed the little kyuubi because I didn't fully like it, and I tested it in the app. Here is the result:
(http://tao.wikidot.com/local--files/files/TAOWithoutFlames_2_13_2011.gif)
Add flames, and that would be very good. Maybe do something with unleashed. I like the font for it, btw.
-
What do you mean with the safecopy routine? Axe uses Safecopy, and I use only a single buffer without modifying the original picture data
-
I made one too, but i cant upload it... dont have a link cable... D:
Wait, copying it in tokenide, up in 30 minutes (i hope so :P)

phew... its done. i hope there are no mistakes :)
NOTE: That 3f60 at the start is for Bitmap( in axe, if you dont use that, delete it!
Edit2: added a program with the bitmap( routine just compile and run :)

Sure, that's okay. I'll just write a program to convert it. Although that doesn't look like a full-screen. That's only 349 characters.

Can you help me do the asm version, then?

Look, its finished, i did that because of possible pc crashes, and to not to lose everything ;D

@aeTIos. There is one extra character. Removing the last character produces the attached file.
@Builderboy Safecopy routine listed here: http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=Z80_Routines:Graphic:Fastcopy#Safe_Copy
Also, can you help me write a routine that does the effect with a key loop and with only the app itself? (Maybe a small buffer to hold the actual flames.)
-
that looks a bit corrupted
also, it's not exactly a title screen, but if you ever have need of it for this project here are sprites for a rotating tao symbol(it's not a full 360 rotation, but the others can easily be filled in by rotating the existing sprites 90 degrees)
-
That is interesting. Could you make a 16x16 one? Not a spinning one, just a nice looking regular one. I don't think I can use a spinning one, but thanks for the offer.
-
I really don't know asm well enough to write it :-[ What can I help you with though?

hmm, well I made space for a buffer, so it's not a problem now really. ;-)
Any more designs?

Oh well, it is completely damaged :/
This was not what it looked like.
I must have made mistakes but I dont want to type it again. so I am going to recreate the whole thing...

I'm sure there is still a flaw or two, but I believe this should look better. It does look interesting.
-
aeTIos did you really copy the entire HEX by hand? O.O Also this looks nice.
-
No, i've made it with TokenIDE. it was too much to copy it by hand... but for the first: yes I did x.x
-
Ok wow o.o
-
on a side note, (will delete this post after answered) how long will it take to get omnomirc again up?

Mhmm you should probably check the OmnomIRC thread to see. There's no set time when it will come back. It could take between 2 hours and 6 months.
-
oh. thats not really... that would not be cool...
-
Okay, I'm probably going to go with Builderboy's here. I'll get the sword to move and flames to work, and show you later.
-
I dont care, congrats Builderboy!
-
Thanks Graphmastur :D If you need any help with the flames (in explanation, not code, since im not superb at doing asm D:) just ask :D
-
Wow I completely missed Builderboy's animated version O.O

Awesome work man!
-
It is a great piece of work. Calcs do that at such a good frame rate, and so smooth and realistic looks wicked
shows the ti-nspire's incompetence
/me is almost about to faint
-
I should upload a tutorial about how to do flames :D I have known how to do them for a really long time but for some reason I have never talked about them until now O.O
-
Do it :D
I'm curious how you do them. The only effect I know how to create are sandstorm effects. :P
-
I think it would be interesting. I added the flame, and only need to get the sword moving. Yet another routine that has the pleasure of existing in ram with everything else. I might just have to write some of these routines on each page instead of in ram.
