TI Z80 / Re: tanks and AI

it's rather simple, actually. right now, they just have a 2/3 chance of accelerating forward, 1/3 backward, turn towards the player, and stop moving forward within a certain distance. i'm going to add in side to side motion as well and have them slide a bit ambiently and have a chance of swerving when the player fires his weapon/they hit a wall.

EDIT: builder, what do you recommend for a map setting?
* shmibs is worried that smooth scrolling would be too sluggish with this much going on, but that anything else would feel too crampt.

DOUBLE EDIT: what should i do for collision detection? is there a better method than progressional pixel testing?

TI Z80 / tanks and AI

it's a bit late to enter the contest, but i felt like making something related to the topic anyways, and have been playing a lot of Steel Storm recently, so here's the beginnings of a tank fighting game of some sort. adding in smooth scrolling maps + bullets + collision detection will add a HUGE amount of overhead, but this is running with 11 AI's and at 6MHz, so i think it might be doable with 2-3 AI's at a time and at 15MHz, with some optimisation.

what dot-product method is there? all i can think of is cos(theta) = (u dot v)/(||u|| ||v||), and that would still need arccos

and thanks =)
* shmibs goes to check it out that axiom

edit, i found the axiom, but it's compiled as an 8xp rather than 8xv, what do?

what with the lack of inverse trig functions, what is the best way to determine the angle (0-255) from one point to another on an x,y plane?

this is looking pretty fantastic =D
the only comment i have is that the poke sprites (or at least those you have up here. i don't know if you've updated them since then) could benefit from a bit of shading to fake the differences in colour in the original sprites. this isn't the best of examples, but i tried adding some shading to that squirtle up there, just to show you what i mean.

would using some form of text compression slow things down too much, or would that plus a binary search be doable?
* shmibs has no clues about the speed of nspire lua

i tried that already, and it didn't work. it complains about actions.lua not being found, despite it being there.

sometimes i can't believe that you're still pugging away at this =)
it's looking pretty great.
what are you going to do with level 100 pokemons? the gui doesn't look like it could fit a 3 digit number in there

no, just with ans. the others are a simple getcalc()->pointer, value->pointer, though

* shmibs was confused about copying as well, but you can do it. copy the value from the text box below the sprite, click on one for a different sprite, and hit ctrl+v
shifting would be nice, though.
