nHitori for Nspire
« on: May 20, 2013, 08:30:46 am »
Hey Guys,

I am very excited you show the latest project I have been working on!

It is the logic game called Hitori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitori).  I attached a little walkthrough to help you understand how to play because the game is more fun when you understand the rules. :)  This isn't a guessing game so it will help you to play by analyzing the board; this will help you in the bigger and harder levels.

This game comes with 100 levels (and solutions) built in.  Also when you beat a level you'll have a star next to the level name.  So try to beat all the levels.

There is undo/redo so you can go back (and forth) many moves.

This program registers the .hitori extension for external level files.  So in addition to the 100 levels; I included some extra external levels should you want to play some more levels!

It should be just about finished; so let me what you think!  I included all my source code as well!  I tested this with a TI-Nspire Touchpad and made it look/play alright on that device.  Though the Nspire CX's color screen is nice; it should play well on any Nspire.

Have a wonderful day!

Am I the only one here that think this project needs far better graphics ?
No offense, but it can be really simple to add little bevel effects or other stuff to make it different from simple rectangles ..
Same remark for the "You win" message.

I cannot wait to dl it
Euhhh.. you know it is already available for download, right ?

Hey Levak,

You're right!  Thank you for your input.  I appreciate honest feedback and so I promise no offense was taken.  For the board it is just SDL_FillRect (aka just a solid rectangle) and the same for the cell highlighting.  But I could use a gradient and see if that improves the look a bit.

I recycled the "You Win" message from nTornado21; but maybe I'll add a particle effect or something! :)

Did you get to play the game a bit?  I claim this game is quite a lot of fun once you know how to play and formed techniques.

ElementCoder, SpiroH, AlexisVieira, joeym: Thanks!  I hope you are enjoying it!

Have an amazing day!

Interesting game, and as for the graphics I kinda agree that Nspire games kinda needs good graphics, although I kinda find the current ones to be cool. One complaint I had before about Lua games in particular and to a lesser extent some C games is that every graphic were just plain shapes, no texture, even though the calcs are capable of far more. in your case though you had textures and I like the way the last board is done in the 3rd screenshot. :)

Hey Guys,

I found some time to add to this game.  It is attached below.  So I didn't change the graphics; I debated myself on that while concurrently added in some other visual improvements.  When you make two adjacent markings or isolate come cells I made it so the yellow cells will darkens & lighten until it is corrected.  Also I made it so when you move the selector it doesn't just move; but slides to its new spot.  If this sliding isn't desired; it is an option.  So under Options you can turn it off.

DJ Omnimaga: I agree with you!  These calculators are capable of some incredible stuff and so the bar is higher for the Nspire games.  Being a puzzle game I'm not sure exactly how far graphically I'd like to take this particular game though.

Hope you like it!  Have an amazing day!
