Information-
Your goal is to create a game routine with at least the minimum requirements below stated as well as many optional components as you can
Your program will be designed for use with an matrix based map with each matrix entry representing a single unit of an 8X8 grid.
Your Program will need to be able to react to collision of the following: 0: non-wall, 1: wall, 2: invisible wall
You may use what ever form of display you want (picture, tile map system, etc.)to display your map, but it most be called externally from program "Draw"
How the map is displayed will not effect the score so long as it corresponds with the Matrix Map I include bellow. Walls should be black rectangles.
All optional variables are initialized in program START which then launches the routine program with each variable being stored on its own line.
Considerations:
--Requirement: 25 points each--100points total
--Additional: 50 points total
--Optional: 5 points each--50 points total
1. character moves around the screen based upon vars x,y
"real(1,X,Y,8,8,0,0,0,1,0,1" You may use what ever sprite you wish.
Optional: instead the character has a looping sequential animation (spaced 8 pixels horizontally apart) with the animation length based on List1(1) and the original sprite based upon L1(2)
Optional2: the character has a changeable image index based upon the vars with the pic X in L1(3) and Y*8 in L1(4)
Optional3: if the character is moving left or right
Optional4: using variable D to flip the sprite left when left is pressed and back when right is pressed if L1(5)=1
2. The direction keys left and right cause the character to move a variable amount +/-'V' and this is combined with X and stored into the X variable.
optional: V increases each time the left/right keys are pressed a variable amount L1(6) up to a maximum amount L1(7) instead
optional2: The value V decrease from a certain amount of friction L1(8) each turn instead of becoming zero instantly each turn
optional3: if there is no ground bellow character, if L1(9) is 1 then there is no movement left or right (momentum based jumping) otherwise character moves normally
3. When up is pressed, the character jumps up for variable amount of time 'J' at a variable speed 'I' and then falls at a variable speed 'G' which each turn effects y. Jumps should be limited to when there is a collision below the character with a wall, and falling limited to when there is not.
optional: 'I' increases a variable amount L1(10) up to a maximum amount L1(11) for 'J' instead
optional2: after J is 0, character falls at a speed G that increases at a rate of L1(12)
optional3: if L1(13) is 1, if a collision with wall is detected above, stop jumping and start falling
4. If there are collisions left or right, the movement in those directions stops.
Additional
1. Size of code
2. Speed of code
3. Lack of errors
MAP:
the following is the map I will test with
[[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2]
[1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,2]
[1,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,2]
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2]
[1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2]
[1,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,1]
[1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,1]
[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]]

this is the stuff that I'm good at, I can just never put all of them together into a full game :D

I agree with you, i also like just to do the routines. I think that we should just have a weekly contest for each of those routines, and then whoever wins the most wins the routines contest! :D Kinda like the ASM quiz topic over at Revsoft/MC.

threeefingeredguy means a coding contest where you have very very limited amount of time to program something, like 2 days to make a platform engine or any kind and best one win
I would really like platform ^^

I already have one of the greatest inventory systems ever... ^_^ At least for BASIC anyways... -.-

Of course, I will have a lot less time starting next week as i will begin working towards my CS accociates degree and my parents say I have to get a job soon.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 14, 2006, 01:13:00 am
as for poll results we need to break the tie :D
maybe we should start a new poll with those options?Best inventory routine [ 2 ] [20.00%]
Best platform routine [ 2 ] [20.00%]
Best movie scripting routine [ 2 ] [20.00%]

I know you could for example make the contest at 10 AM GMT-5, but imagine if the contest manager got called for work 30 mins earlier, or had to suddently go right at the time he posted the notice, or had to go 2 hours later? It should be considered. Maybe one day/12 hours would be ok?It's not a bad idea tho, but I think it should be done a weekend, so almost everyone is free.

someone will have to wake up to start it for me o.o
oh yea we need a new contest manager >.<
Post by: necro on September 15, 2006, 06:19:00 pm
Besides, plenty of people have lives and Id hope as many people get a chance to try as possible. The schedule stands and the contest is platform engine. Oh, and I wrote friday instead of saturday twice (I need a new calander) but yeah...who ever takes over can make it how they want. I will get the contest up asap.

I guess my entry would have won by default then if I submitted it :(I think the lack of advertisement of Omnimaga contest since I left all other forums doesnt help either, I would like to see pixel art contests come back if anyone would be interested in managing them tho, some drawn lot of interest
