Obliteration ensues
« on: January 21, 2011, 01:49:07 am »
KermMartian has continued to demonstrate the potential of CALCnet 2.2, this time with a Scorched-Earth clone called Obliterate:




Quote from: KermMartian@Cemetech
Since CALCnet2.2 was featured across the geekiest places on the internet, globalCALCnet started broadcasting across the globe, and Doors CS 7.1.1 is making its way to new calculators, I decided to start a small project for CALCnet that I've been meaning to attempt for quite some time. Objectively, it's a complex project, but with the magic of CALCnet and Doors CS' GUI system, I actually managed to bang out the main menu including calculator communication, About screen, username changing, and quitting within three hours last night. It's been roughly 24 hours since I've started, and since then I've also added terrain generation, terrain propagation across the connected calculators, assignment of turn-taking order, placement of tanks, and (almost) correct falling of tanks when terrain is removed.

Still to come is most of the gameplay, including turn-triggering, game-over detection, input for setting power and angle, tank turret display (I'll need to punt on some angle-to-line algorithms), display of the username of the calc currently playing, and a few other goodies.

Since gCn is online, could this mean that online multiplayer games will arrive on our TI-83+ and TI-84+ soon?

Nice game. I love the fact our calcs now can play online in multiplayer. And now, what's next, MMORPGs? There's no limit now.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

Guys, if you haven't already, you should check out my Eitrix game. (http://ourl.ca/8464) It will be designed to implement CALCnet2.2 (BTW, that's how you need to write it, according to the CALCnet Whitepaper on cemetech) to allow for a 4-player Tetris fight to the death.

* Ztrumpet needs to clear his calc too.  I think it's up around 300 now as well.

Awesome job Kerm!  Looks great! :D

that's a bad name in your name

though I say it all the time IRL

welcome to omnimaga, though, and I suggest you PM DJ (or ask him here) to change your name to something else, it's quite offensive IMHO.  If you have such a project, post it here, we like projects here :D

Yes we do. And yes, you probably should ask DJ Omnimaga to change your name. He's the main admin here.

Hi and welcome here. I will have to ask you to e-mail me an alternate nickname choice at omni maga [AT] gmail.com, though, because although we allow certain bad words in nicknames (such as the F**k word) the one you used at the end of your nickname can be offensive to some viewers and would be against one of our board rules. After the nick change your password will be reset and e-mailed to you, but you can change it back afterward.

I hope to see your game in action soon, though.

(Note the reason why I ask to e-mail me instead of PMing me is because to send PMs you need 6 posts)
