Yeah but you could have used wine :P

Anyway, it's weird because it's working here on windows xp... I'm trying to fix that now, but if you want I can make a request form.

At least are the included datas what you wanted ?

Oh wait nvm, I was trying to pass 2 parameters, that's why it didn't work <_<

Anyway, seems ok, I'll try to implement it, thanks a lot :)

Ok, but I think there's a background image (the city ?) for the paralax effect, so how will you handle this ? Do you want to use a transparent tile right now (if so, which one ?), or include the city in the map image (if so, I'll have to add its tiles in the tileset) ?
Nah that was implemented in the GBA versions of F-Zero. The SNES game had no parralax effect for the city background image.

Is this project dead?

It is. I didn't plan to work on it anymore, but who knows.

Mode 7 definitively seems incredibly hard, because very few projects like such succeeded unless they were by calc84maniac x.x

Necro bump,

I finally decided to go in the F-Zero directory, press Ctrl+A then Del. I restarted everything from scratch without replicating many errors I made, including using floats. Now the engine runs incredibly faster than the last version at maximal resolution (1*1), where the previous engine used quartered resolution (2*2). Also, this new version projects variable-size tilemaps instead of bitmaps.

I'll soon post a screenshot.

EDIT : here you go.



Don't worry, both the quality and speed are not nearly as bad on-calc. You can try it if you want. You'll need F-Zero.tns and textures.tga.tns in the same directory, w/e it is. For now you can't do much : use the clickpad/touchpad to move around. Everything that is black means it's outside the tilemap.

Darn that is pretty good. Glad you revived this as well. :) If you make an F-Zero game, will it use tilemaps like above rather than a very large picture this time and will they be zoomed out 2x like in previous version to stay true to the SNES version?

DJ_O well the original SNES game uses a tilemap, not a bitmap :P and I don't think resolution is quartered either - though I may be wrong since I last played it a long time ago.

Ok I was asking, since the original F-Zero Trackspire used a bitmap. :P

And I think the resolution was a bit small, since every mode 7 game on the SNES are kinda pixelated.

Update !

You can now load and project external maps, that you will have previously generated with the newly-written map editor ;D

I also implemented collision detection !

Click here for 4MB animated gif ! (which is, of course, laggier and uglier than the on-calc version)

Very nice! You should maybe post two screenshots next time, soon, because I lost patience then opened your GIF in VirtualDub to skip the 2 minutes long map editor showcase and see actual gameplay. :P

Also glad that you now use maps, since the game levels will be much smaller. :)

Also one trick to make screenshots smoother is to set nspire_emu to run at 10% speed then using a video editor to speed it back up to 100% while setting the final frame rate to 30 FPS. It results in an ultra massive GIF file, though. :P
