Well, right now, I have 3 enemy cars that come, and most of the engine done. I also intend to put enemy police cars in eventually that will chase you around. The basic idea is avoid other cars and grab avocados. Here be the most recent upload, though it is rather old and only has a couple cars in it: http://www.sitesled.com/members/spengo/gta.zip
Here is an old screenshot:

WARNING: do not put this on your 83/84+ as it will most probably crash it. Use pindur! If anyone can help me figure out the reason for the crashing, that would be uber. Another problem I am having now is with the fourth car.  (pt cruiser) It seems to think that its coordinates are the same as the player's racecar. :paf:tripaf.gif

Yeah, I did put it out after you left mc. But remember- don't try it on your calc. Unless you enjoy crashing it, that is. ;)wink.gif

Crashing calcs is fun!!!11!!!!!1!1!!!

Anyways, looks pretty cool, you should have a road bg, not a moving one, just a soild road pic.  Also, maybe make a condition that says that your "enemy" cars can't be within 1 pxl of eachother.

I don't know how to do the enemy cars thing. I intend to implement a moving background eventually as well. Why would you say a still one?

Looks very nice Spengo! Just a small idea, what if you had some cars come from the bottom? Never mind, those would probably be the police cars ^^

@arti: Aye, those would be the police cars. :)smile.gif Haven't got that far yet.

@dragon_lance: it is not advocado, it is avocado. Like, the little green fruit you know?

Kevin, I was being quite sincere. Someone made the TI-86 display four tones of red-yellow-brown colour, but he never got it to be stable enough to make a colour game. Imagine that, colour calculators. With touchscreens :')

I heard about that, not sure where though.

Why don't all you programming geniuses just make a color LCD and integrate it into the calc with a semi-new OS...

What I go O_Oshocked2.gif about is that this topic about my crappy n00bish calc game generates posts over twice as fast as my cool ubersome pc fps. XD

Anyways, I have the police car sprites done already, but I can't seem to find the actual sprites anymore. The hex is in the source of my game already, but I just can't find the bmps! There are two police car pictures and I plan to do an altenating thingy between them because then it will look like the lights are flashing. Black and white- not blue or orange.

hehe lol but are you sure it isnt just the LCD being held in front of light, thus making the display look like its red/yellowish colored?


hmm edit: I am wondering how this topic went from Grand theft avocado to colored TI-86 LCDs? That reminds me that Swordd of Darkness news article comment page, which went from Sword of Darkness 89 RPG to religion and pr0n

At least this is still about calculators. :Pblah.gif Anyways, I think running my game on an actual calc is abuse enough without adding in the color lcd. If anyone knows wtf is wrong with my quit stuff, please tell me.

Wooo! Fixed the mysterious disappearing car bug!!! It was a timer (the one that triggers the creation of the cars) which keeps looping around without stopping. Also got the pt cruiser working. PT cruiser and Corvette now go down faster (aka, are moving forwards slower) than the other cars to add some differentness to it.

EDIT: got the last car working (I think) Now all that's left is the police cars and then some cleanup.
EDIT2: made a screenie  :woot:woot.gif

Umm, there are some already. I believe Jim gave one out http://www.revsoft.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=34. But what does a tilemapper have to do with spengos game? He just needs to use a background image.

Ya background image would be it. I could make two and switch 'em to give an animation of movement.

For updates: I was working on the police cars yesterday. They wouldn't show up tho. :(sad.gif So anyways, nothing really new yet anyways. I'll figure out what's wrong later. LAN party today. \o/
