Hello
i wanted to start something new, and my idea was a bomberman game for the Nspire, or is there already one?
i made a fast drawing of what it might look like, it's totally doable, so it's not a kind of visionary effect that would never be able succeed :)
-
XD
You're always making/starting wonderous lua project XD
That looks nice already!
-
O.O
Same as TBridgedO_Yeong said :P
I hope you do it, that would be awesome !
([offtopic] we both have +52 respect [/offtopic])
edit: :ninja:
-
thanks :) i love lua, since it's on the pc, and it is still understanable (not like asm)
and you nearly ninja'd me on my own new topic xp it was like 41 seconds :w00t:
and nice about the respect points, didn't notice that :)
aaaaah, noooooo :ninja: :)
-
I already have some code done for Bomberman.
The map engine and player moving works (smooth scrolling). But it is quite some work if you want to get everything working with ai and all.
You may try to make it as I'm not actively busy on it :)
-
do you have collision detection yet? i have it, but the man steps block per block, and not per pixel, for ease of collisiondetection and speed, mostly because of the last one, because pixel per pixel is sooooooo slow xs
I you don't mind, i would use it as my entry for the cemetech contest #8, hopefully they accept nspire games, as they said the judges don't have nspires, but i'll try it...
so please don't post your code (or something else) jimbauwens, as i want to do this completely in order to the rules :) and i don't know if they would accept it if they might think i used your code xp
-
Yeah, I got collision detection :)
Good luck with the contest, and who knows I might even be your judge ;)
-
are you one of the judges? brr, i'm already getting scared
-
I think I remember you mentioning this in irc.
Also, I really thought you made call of duty :P/me lost
-
me or jim?
well, if i would have made that, it would be sooo awesome :) nice try xp
-
me or jim?
well, if i would have made that, it would be sooo awesome :) nice try xp
Yeah!
It'll have everything!....except.....speed.....D:
-
Lua slow?
-
for call of duty it is slow yes xp
--edit--
and for other programs as well, you just have to make it look fast by making things move another way (e.g.not by pixel)
-
Is there a speed gain for using less color?
-
Wow, you click to make the character move? That's amazing :D
-
that was just to activate the emulator, not to move him :(
-
for call of duty it is slow yes xp
--edit--

I don't think that Lua is slow. It is actually quite fast, but the key input really sucks...
Anyway, wow, another great game !
Do you get paid for making them ? :P
-
Do you get paid for making them ? :P
Don't give him bad ideas :P
Moreover, His games are so good that I am I'd pay for them.
But shhhhhh...
-
hehe, thanks :) donations can be sent to .. xp no, i just love it :)
and imo my games aren't that good, they miss that little bit of an extra, but i don't really know how to put it into games, you understand? but, anyway, thanks xp

Here is a screenshot of what I was trying:
Ask you can see there were still some problems with the collision detection.
Well, I don't think I'm going to continue it, so good luck with yours :)
-
that's why i make it move per block, that makes the collosiondetection very simple, just look at the table value next to it, and you know if it can move or not.
but it looks really nice, especially the floor :) it gives some dimension to the game, and i like that kind of 3D effect :) we could work on it together...
-
Looks great jim!
-
Well, I'm not really planning on continuing it. Also, that was a couple of month ago and I think I would be able to do the collision detection right now.
Anyway, got other projects to finish (EEPro, Blockbreaker).
-
Blockbreaker lua? Sounds cool.
-
So here is a new screenshot of the new development of bomberman, 3D, explosions work, no moving yet, but that will come !
if someone has better sprites than in the first screenie, please tell me where to find them, i was thinking of a minecraft character, because they're simple, but famous :)

how the hell ...

You forgot to say that the sprites were of Bomberdude 68k.

Looks nice. Minecraft player sounds fine to me. :)
-
Nick, this is awesome.
And As I see all your projects you're doing, I really want you to share with us your Time Turner (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Time-Turner) (that Hermione uses to attend multiple classes at the same time)... because I have no idea otherwise how you manage to have time to do all these O_O
-
That just looks incredible :)
Edit: you should post it in your thread on Cemetech, just because I want to see how Kerm will respond to the coolness of this. (For him, Lua isn't such a capable language)
-
well, adriweb, i would love to share it, but i forgot to take it back to today, since i went to yesterday this morning, and i forgot it there xs
-
Holy mother of heck=Nick Steen...
O.O
Daaaiiiiiiimmmmnnnnn
I want to try this!!!
If you want a tester hehehehehe.... >:D >:D :devil:
-
This looks awesome, but one suggestion would be to make the explosions look like actual explosions rather than squares/cubes. Glad to see new games from you :)
-
O.O/me wants
Nspire CX really is the future of calc programming, huh?
-
It depends if the Prizm picks up and if TI tries to block Ndless again.
-
and if the lua speeds up.. we could make wonderfull things with it, but the speed is the biggest problem i encounter
here (https://sites.google.com/site/stonesetproductions/ti-nspire/games/speedx3d) you can see the maximum speed of it, but that's really the limit, it's very restricted.
-
Yeah true, although even at highest speed we would still have no gbc emu from Lua. Also that looks nice. Is that real 3D or pseudo-3D?
-
I don't know if the speed of the intepretion in general will be faster, but TI is/has been optimizing certain graphical parts. (which will speed up drawing).
Believe me or not, TI is doing their best to improve :)
-
i don't think it's really the graphics, that will make a lot good, but especially the key inputs, those are really toooo slow..
but i can believe that tehy'll do what they can, so respect :)
i think it's already very nice we got LUA, so in fact we have nothing to blame them :)
@DJ_O, that's real 3D, it uses tiny3D.. but it's not far enough finished so i don't start a topic yet, maybe i will later if i encounter problems
-
I have an idea for your game:
Use on.mouseMove(x) as (extra) control. Just use the x coordinate to move. (so you can swipe to move left/right).
Don't forget to hide the mouse :)
(this is faster than key presses I think)
-
sounds interesting, it will surely be faster, thanks for that!
added! it works great, but when i do cursor.hide() the cursor is set to the middle again, and so the values are being reset and i can't correctly trace the direction anymore
here's my code:
function on.mouseMove(x,y)
hor = x - xmouse
vert = y - ymouse
if hor<0 then
on.arrowKey('left')
elseif hor>0 then
on.arrowKey('right')
end
if vert<0 then
on.arrowKey('up')
elseif vert>0 then
on.arrowKey('down')
end
setMouse(x,y)
end
function setMouse(x,y)
xmouse = x
ymouse = y
end
and it's quite hard to make it move in the correct direction with that 3D xs not for the coding, but when playing it
-
Hmm, what if you do cursor.hide() at the beginning? (say, in on.create)
If that doesn't work, maybe you just can set another cursor that you basically don't see.
Also, you should localize the values hor and vert :) (just good practice)
-
well, they are local because i don't declare them at the beginning, or isn't that true? do i have to put local before them?
oh and how can i make such a 'custom' cursor?
-
Well, if you don't put "local" before them they are global ;)
I don't mean a 'custom' cursor, but a cursor such as a crosshair or something else.
Anyway, did you try to take the cursor.hide out of the loop and put it in on.create() ?
-
ok, i changed some things so it's more acurate, like this:
if hor<-5 and math.abs(hor)>=2*math.abs(vert) then so it only moves if you really move the cursor, not if your hand is laying on the touchpad and is moving a tiny tiny bit.
also, sometimes you have that the cursor is on the edge of the screen (and you can't move anymore to towards that edge), so is there a way to reset the cursor back to the middle? i've tried cursor.hide() cursor.show() but then sometimes it doen'st reappear again xs
-
Well, I don't think you can reset it easy.
You just should try to code it as good as possible with what you got :P
-
Can you post Bomberman's code to GitHub ?
-
He can't, as its for the contest on Cemetech (against the rules).
-
Ahh, ok :D
-
this one is secret, and it'll be until the end of the election [evil]mhuhahahahaha[/evil]
so keep on dreaming of it :)
-
Are you still working on this project Nick?
