hullo
i first tried to join omnimaga about a year ago, but the version of xp im running is very... eccentric and simply refused to display the bottom half of the join page. i just remembered recently that i had never actually gotten around to joining so i booted up a linux livecd and joined that way. i've been writing code and such for about two years though(although not at all regularly) and am currently working on two projects: a pokémon clone with personalized graphics and story elements(im rewriting the entire thing in axe with a more authentic walking engine and larger pkmn sprites atm, but here are some pics from the old celtic version: http://s833.photobucket.com/albums/zz254/shmibs/pkmn%20grey/ ), and another which shall remain unnamed for the axe comp. not much else to say besides hi, i guess

Welcome to Omnimaga! Good luck w/your projects, they sound cool.
Your peanuts should be arriving shortly :P
-
Those map screenies for your pokemon game looked cool! I hope you can pull it off in Axe. ;)
Actually, I'm considering rewriting part of my Pokemon port in Axe as well, but it will still be hybrid BASIC overall.
Anyways, good luck on all your projects and welcome to Omnimaga!
Did someone say peanuts?

Agreed. Those game screenshots look stunning.
I hope to see more from you in the future.
Welcome to Omnimaga!
-
Those are awesome screenies! Welcome here. :)
-
very nice project i hope it works out well and nice to have you ^^
-
Wait. What?
Are those 8x8? :D
-
Welcome here to Omnimaga. Enjoy your stay here. The screenshots look really good. Just remember to be aware of the 8 kb of executable code limit that Axe has. Good luck on your projects though :)
-
Heya nice to see you around ^^
I remember seeing your Pokémon project on MaxCoderz but I think there were either no screenshots or they were invisible to guests (I couldn't login at the time). It looks very nice. I hope you eventually finish it and your other Axe project. Axe is nice because you can get good speed (and in some cases, size) like assembly with an easier language, plus since Axe supports the Ans variable, it's possible to split the game in multiple programs or make it hybrid of BASIC and Axe (and even ASM).
Anyway welcome here :)

thanks to everyone who responded and said hello (and sorry it took so long to respond... i joined just before going out of town) yes, they are 8*8, and yes, i am aware of the 8kb limit but im not too worried. the current walking engine(which albeit does leave out a couple of things like ledges and those arrow ground tiles) is about 2k including data for some tile sprites and a small map, which will be stored in an appvar, leaving quite a bit of space for text handling, intro, etc. it will be close, but i think i can make it.

i still have no peanuts :P

These look like peanuts to me :P
-
Aaah sounds like a good deal :)
And welcome back :). Are you planning to announce the project here in the future?
As for peanuts, here are some at http://ourl.ca/6106/96044 ;)
Alternatively, you can look for the ones with Rick Astley printed on the bag or the bag that says "The Game". :P
EDIT: Ninja'd

-
It's imageshack, no surprise, I guess. Too bad :(

I was winning for a while, too. :P
-
Ouch sorry about the parent filter x.x
I hope they don't block Omni as well x.x

i just finished reading the massive topic for srcmpwn :(
i have pretty much the same thing going on. it's easy enough to get around software, but the fighting and tension never goes away...
-
Aw sorry to hear :S

Too bad. Good luck irl shmibs. :)
