Ok, so I've just now been getting better with Axe, and I like contests, even if my game sucks XD.
Anyway so siege is a game were you spawn randomly in a forest with 5 pixlets (pixlets are villager). You then build buildings with the supplies you are given to upgrade your production. You can't move the actually pixlets themselves. you can only build buildings that so certain things. So in a sense its kind of a simulation. By building the different buildings you can eventually build an army, Or just a small force of troops. Your objective is to destroy the castle that is in the woods before the castles guards kill your village.
I don't have any screenshots at the time, but progress is coming along nicely.

Yeah sound a really good game :D
-
yup, sounds awesome! :D
-
^That
-
I can't wait to see this game! Thats a good concept, should be getting a high originality score!
-
Interesting, good luck!
-
So I still don't have a lot of screen shots or anything but I have gotten the behaviors for the pixlets pretty much done. Now when they are about 10 pixels away from a tree or pile of rocks they will go to it, mine some/cut some materials from the object.
Working hard. ;D
EDIT: I'm so pissed right now I'm probably going to drop out of the contest. I made a 3 more lines of code that say. If you are a pixlet and not a tree add random values to your coordinates. Normally this would work just fine but now it just doesn't.
I tell the calc to display the coordinates to my screen, as I run the program it is telling me on the screen that the data value is 1. So my calc is somehow COMPLETELY DISREGARDING the if statement and saying its not true, even though it is telling ITSELF that the given statement is true! :mad: :banghead:
-
Don't drop out, It sounds awesome! Sometimes you just got to take a little rest from it!
-
Isn't the contest tomorrow?
Without this little line of code working im afraid it will be very hard to play. :/
I'll keep working tomorrow morning. ;)
-
I think you have until Nov. 5th to send it in! It would suck if it was tomorrow, I don't even have a title screen yet!
*Edit: Yeah, we still have a month!
-
Wait WAHT??? It's November??? ???
Wow, I failed it. Oh then I'll keep working hard :thumbsup:
-
Otherwise it would be a pretty short contest >.<
-
Ya, I was thinking it was due TODAY and that's why I was so frantically working on it XD. Anyway since It's not today I'm definitely still in the contest.
I'm probably going to take a small break and give some screenies though cause I'm already like 1/3 of the way done. XP
-
Better get it sooner done, coding always turns out to take longer than expected ;)
-
@XiiR3CR34T10N: Yea, not to worry, plenty of time left still. ^^

OK I thought I might update. I've finished the logic with the AI's for the pixlets finding cutting and bring wood from trees. I've also made them think smarter, so if there aren't any trees nearby they will start to move around randomly until they find some. I also made them not do anything if there isn't a wood cutting building. (they wont cut trees if there is nothing to return too)
So I have figured out that really frustrating bug. I was using an OR. I don't know if it's just me or if it's broken, but OR's and AND's don't seem to work properly. I usually try to avoid them in AXE because of this, but Force of habit made me try and use them. So I have fixed that now. I also figured out why they wouldn't go after the left and right closer edge trees! Instead of using a distance formula, I decided to just calculate how close a tree is X then Y. Since doing so the game is checking into negative numbers which will then return positive for the trees location. (AKA I'll fix that tomorrow)
I'm also going to give a screenie later.
Thanks all!
-
Good luck on this. Can't wait to see screenies, though. Also don't go overboard on features since the contest has a limited timeframe (eg don't do a full Starcraft clone :P)
-
If you were using OR and AND, be careful as these are bitwise, not logical. The logical counterparts are ?? and ? which can also be used as single line conditionals or ternary operators (see Commands.html for details). ;)
-
Oh! That is quite helpful, so ?? = AND and ? = OR. Right?
-
Oh! That is quite helpful, so ?? = AND and ? = OR. Right?
Other way around. :P
-
So again with AND and OR with axe, I tried something like
If [type]=1??[type]=11
execute command
End
Is this how you do it because I tried this and the types I dont want still perform this command anyway...
-
This is the way you do it. It's weird it doesn't work though since I use and abuse it in all my programs. :/
-
coul it have to do something with chaining it?
example.
If x=1??x=11??x=21??x=31??x=41??...
command
End
Becuase I have like 10 onjust one.
-
I think there's a maximum of nested conditions like this. Not sure how much.
-
It would throw an error at compile time if that was the issue.
-
OK, unfortunately I will not be putting this in the contest, for two reasons. 1) I deleted Axe Parser on my calc to get a new version and now I cannot get it on at all. 2) I still haven't gotten the ? and ??'s to work so the program can't function properly.
I'll work on this when I get the time later.
