Ok, here's the scoop: Bomberman (think Bomberman 2 from the old SNES days) for the 83+/84+ calcs. I already have the movement system/ lay bomb engine done, though I'm sure it could be optimized a bit. Still need:

Powerup drops: Heh, a few sprites, thats about it
Enemy AI: Started
More Levels: No doubt the easiest part, as I just copy them from my SNES version

And more to come. I also have to figure out how to use the scroll screen effect and I'll probably use that, too.

Anyways, I'll try to keep you all posted

sound good, for sprites, id recommend u consult necro, as he probably is one of the best sprite artists around >D

always glad to optimize

Thanks. Yeah, necro, it'd be cool if you could make some enemy sprites and the actual Bomberman sprites. I have some, but I'm sure you could make them much better

sound pretty nice, will you have lot of scrolling and things like that? I remember there was a bomberman game in BASIC which was pretty good at ticalc. Now it's time for you to make an even better one

I still need to figure out how it works with xLIB, but yes I do plan to have scrolling. YAY!!!! Level 1.

will there be external levels with level editor?

katmaster · « **Reply #8 on:** December 15, 2005, 06:42:00 pm »

@necro: due to finals, I haven't been working on it. I'll probably sit down on Sunday and get working. And then I have all 15 days of Christmas Break!!!! YEE-HAW!!!

@xlibman: I was thinking about that, but I'm not really sure how to do it. It's a possibility, though.

external levels would be more external matrices or whatever map format you use, only thing is that you would only have a limited amount of external level at once on the same calc due to memory limitations

well...when the new xlib comes out, you could have a program that only has the following data

prgmEXLEV4BM
"prgmDEFAULT,prgmCUSTOM,prgmCUSTOM2,ect."->String 1

then find where there are commas and use that to draw a list on screen, then using xlib's copy archived ability, coppy the file you sub(ed into string 2 and have it load it into the game

the owner would either manualy update the list or you could use a asm program to generate/update this prorgam with the data in it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmmmm...I smell a way to make xlib into a full blown shell (like mirage or crunchy) via a little basic programing

how is it pogressing so far?

@katmaster I hope you are still working on this, it looks really nice.

katmaster · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:48:00 pm »

YES!!!!!! No way I would drop it (at least right now)

I've been a little busy, but I've been working on some optimizations for the movement code, as it's a little slower then I'd like. After that, I'll continue the AI work, and then power ups. So, yep, it's still trucking on

I hope to see screenshots soon
