Title: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Jim Bauwens on May 28, 2011, 01:18:24 pm
As some of you might have heard, I'm busy on a Nspire port of BlockBreaker in Lua.
Most of my work is finished, just need to add some more graphical 'pleasing' effects and maps.

Here are some screenshots:

I tried to make an animation with calccapture, but it did not capture the grayscale correctly, and the speed (don't worry, its fast enough). Here is the animation:

As you can see there is still some work on the interface.
I also need to find a better sprite for player, as it doesn't look so good.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Woo! This is looking great, nice job :D

Yep, looking extremely good :)

I've had the chance to test it and I hope it will come out as soon as possible, the game is addictive (with a map editor ? :P)

Yeah, I must say my brother's done a quite good job. :P
I wonder if he'll do a map editor, because the maps are implanted in the game itself, but since I know NOTHING of Lua, it might be possible.

Post by: Adriweb on May 28, 2011, 03:50:24 pm
Yep, I asked him if he was gonna do it and I thought about a way to implement it... He said it wouldn't be hard to make it :)

Thanks everybody!

Right now I'm busy on improving the level selector, making is look better (Adriweb put some crazy ideas in my head).

This is very good Jim, but one thing:

I lost the game...

Keep up the good work! How does it look like on CX calcs?
Title: Re: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Jim Bauwens on May 29, 2011, 03:52:11 pm
I haven't tried it on a CX, and I haven't really added colors yet.
But that is very very easy to do :)

That menu looks awesome  :w00t:
I'm learning Lua now, but for  now, I think I'll stick to a simple menu   :P
Title: Re: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Jim Bauwens on June 23, 2011, 01:04:38 pm
Thanks :)

Note to others: I'm still working on it, but it isn't progressing so fast since I have lots of work.

:O this looks very nice GJ so far
i hope you will add colours for the CX I love colored games :)

Very nice!
I hate having to choose between keeping os 2.0 and 3.0 on my calc because of programs like this.
Title: Re: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Jim Bauwens on June 23, 2011, 03:22:01 pm
Thanks :D

@Kjelddy, It will be color :)

I wish we could constantly change too :) There's a way to fix that though (Ndless 3 :))

I would like to see this finished too.

Colors would be a good addition :P

Post by: Jim Bauwens on December 26, 2011, 09:46:43 am
I already rewrote the whole game, and its all in color now (looks quite nice on my CX :P).
But I had lots of other work so I didn't rewrite my menu yet and some other stuff.

I really will try to finish it as fast as possible (but I'm also working on other stuff such as EEPro, so...)

Ah ok. I hope it's not eventually gonna be discontinued though D:

Good to hear. :) So many projects die every year.

I know, but blockbreaker is too special for me to quit :)

I'll see if I can make some time to finish it.

He doesn't have much time since he's working on EEPro and another awesome TI-Planet (and Omnimaga to a lesser extent (but nobody here knows about it)) project with Excale and myself, that's going to come out soon, hopefully ;)
Title: Re: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Jim Bauwens on January 16, 2012, 02:02:22 pm
Exactly.
In other words, Adriweb is keeping my in captive until I finish those stuff.
If I don't write over 9000 lines of code a day, he will wip me.
/me runs

It was started in May, back when I had no Nspire... Hm. I do hope it gets released.
Title: Re: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Stefan Bauwens on January 24, 2012, 05:48:36 am
Don't worry. It'll get finished. Maybe in 20 years though.

i don't think asking every day when it will be finished won't make it go any faster.. he's working on it, so just let him do, he knows what he's doing xp
Title: Re: [WIP] BlockBreaker Nspire (Lua)
Post by: Jim Bauwens on January 28, 2012, 04:28:16 pm
I'm really sorry, but I have lots of work and other important projects:

- Project for TI-Planet
- EEPro
- Very much work at home (our house isn't yet in a state like most of your houses ;), we need to build/pour floors, walls, etc)
- School, need to study for exams
- Lots of other stuff I want to do IRL

So you can see, finishing Block Breaker isn't just 1,2,3 ;)
I hope you can understand my situation, and be able to wait a bit :)
