Answer Programs
« on: July 25, 2010, 10:03:35 pm »
I got kinda bored one day, with the lack of ideas for programs/games to make, so I started writing stuff in Basic using only the answer variable.  I ended up with one (finished) game, boulder dodge (aka ZZZZZ.8xp), and a game I was going to make kinda like elmgon (the engine that is, which isn't quite finished).  I haven't really done too many projects lately I've noticed... so here they are ^^

ZZZZZ.8xp - Boulder dodge, use the arrow keys to move, and avoid the "*".  It uses the list "ZHIGH" to store the highscore

ZZZZ.8xp - The elmgon "clone"?, use arrow keys to move, up to jump, and press alpha then an arrow key to shoot a laser (Not finished D:).  I plan to add more and finish it soon.
ZZZGTMAP.8xp - a major slowdown in my code, checks for a collision for the lasers
ZZZMAPS.8xp - contains the maps for the program

Note:  I cheated a little bit in the elmgon "clone", it uses for() loops to initilize variables, but it keeps answer in tact throughout the program ^^.  Oh, and I call it an elmgon "clone" because it was just inspired by it, its not meant to cause competition, I was just bored and loved the way you moved around in elmgon.

nah, it'll use the homescreen, and have it scroll up with Disp"
Just out of curiosity, why do you ask?

When you said asteroids, I thought of this: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/215/21592.html
I may try and asteroids for the graphscreen with only answer, sounds fun ^^  But it will probably be crazy slow

Wow, how did I never see that game before?
If you can do that game in basic with a decent speed, whether it uses ans or not, I would request it to be featured.  :)

I had a much lower res version on my calculator... well maybe not low res, but lower detail.  It stayed on my calc forever, but I couldn't find the exact one on ticalc.org :/  Anyways, I can't promise I will work on it tonight (band camp in the morning) but I'll find time ^^

Wow interesting way of coding. Nice to see we can make basic games with minimal var usage :)

I never managed to figure out myself. Anything I tried to do always seemed to overwrite Ans at one point

The main problem is with modifying a single value in a list. Using augment( and seq(, despite being the only way to do it, is slow for a large number of values.
I might try my hand at making an interesting game with this method at some point. :)

Well, you can't display scores with it anyway, since pause modifies Ans.

You can use Disp, followed by a no-argument Pause ;D

Nice job tanner!  As for movement in Elmgon, I was inspired by Harrier Falcon's Metroid Pi. ;D
