Umm yea im really sorry but there is no way to update four images at once so I was wondering what I should do in the mean time here is one. The title screen. If anyone want to edit the title screen and make it better then post the better version that would be so awesome.

ooh sound nice alerady, I am wondering if a black background version would be cooler tho?

Another Image. This is the GUI with a real-time variable to sprite converter counter.

cool stuff again :) , as for posting multiple images at once you need to post them in separate posts actually :( (just post 4 times in a row if you have 4 images for example)

So you requested a title screen...





I first made a nice bg image (wheeee! a spiral galaxy! ^_^)


and did some fonting


is that about what you had in mind?

If these pics are ok, i'll meld them together to get the final tite screen and maybe add some shading and a frame for the letters.

Ok so I got a like quick animated screenshot together but Tilem sucks so it looks slower than it really is on the real calc. I can't fix that. And also the person sprite is messed up cause ima need to edit it which i will do later because this is just a demo to show the NPC routine, engine routine, and scrolling routine.

EDIT: Ok wow make sure that you click on the thumbnail because it really distorts the picture way too much.

Title: Image Updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 16, 2006, 05:01:00 am

wow nice, i noticed the char/ship flickers when moving, if you dont use grayscale you could make it not update the display when displaying the map and only update when displaying the sprite

whoa! Looks amazing Killerplayer! Great work :thumbup: I like the sprites :D

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Spellshaper on August 16, 2006, 11:46:00 am

neat indeed ^_^
and yes, that flickering can be worked around, like xlibman said.

I have an idea!
What about more realistic acceleration and deceleration?
Like: You press one arrow button and the ship starts moving in that direction until you press the opposite arrow button :)

Post by: Halifax on August 16, 2006, 04:37:00 pm

Yea spellshaper thats a great idea ill try to implement that into the game but umm xlibman i don't understand what ur saying??

EDIT: O wait nvm i get it you mean dont use real(2,etc. and just use real(1,etc. so the sprite is not overwritten by the map right?

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Halifax on August 16, 2006, 04:45:00 pm

Thicking more closely about wat u were saying spellshaper I found out that it would be hard for me to implement this into the fighting engine without slowing it down significantly because I need to run the AI. O and btw what do you guys think about a 45 sec. loading time.

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Spellshaper on August 16, 2006, 10:56:00 pm

I think xlibman means not updating the screen until everything has been drawn to the buffer.
The real(-54125+functions of xlib that draw sprites have the option not to update the screen. That way, it doesn't flicker.

45sec. loading time for the game or a fight? :wacko:

 Nonono i mean use 0 instead of 1 when displaying the map for the last argument (which tell xlib if it update LCD immediately or not), check xlib readme for this

Post by: Halifax on August 17, 2006, 02:14:00 pm

@xlibman yea ur right it works better i tried it

@spellshaper Yes for the game because I have to uncompress matrices and setup lists and strings and variables but I will also be realesing a Galactic that comes with uncompressed matrices that are in programs

O and btw what do you guys think about a 45 sec. loading time.

 do something interesting with it so its not just a blank screen for 45 seconds.

actually, first try to optimize that down a bit. then add in a loading screen with an animation or a loading bar telling what stage of loading you are in. this will actually slow down the load time a bit, but it will make the perceived loading time shorter.

No a map is ten of those levels with NPC's bosses and enemies and other stuff. Also today I implemented Spellshapers idea of motion and it works also i put an option into the pause menu so you can change to cruise motion or to one block per button press if you get that.
@elfprince: Yea thats what I was thinking about doing

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Dragon__lance on August 18, 2006, 08:56:00 am

ahhh 10 level's isn't bad... elfprince's idea's wonderful. Really does help. That's cool you have the cruise mode and such, how will the battles work?

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Halifax on August 18, 2006, 05:25:00 pm

That's what im working on now im not sure how battles will work yet im just testing ideas. Im open for ideas  :)

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 19, 2006, 03:31:00 am

i noticed it didnt took that long to load in the screenie, do u mean 45 sec at startup of between every map?

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Halifax on August 19, 2006, 03:57:00 am

Yes for every 10 stages(1 map) there will be a 45 sec loading time but you won't be allowed out of a map before beating a boss. But I will also be making one with uncompressed maps and a loading time of 5 secs.

Title: Image Updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 19, 2006, 04:57:00 am

aaah ic cool I may do that eventually with my smaller games

Title: Image Updates
Post by: Halifax on August 21, 2006, 02:37:00 pm

yea actually forget it because now it will only be a 5 second loading time.
