Title: Dual Falldown
Post by: ztrumpet on October 03, 2010, 05:33:36 pm

A few of you know I was working on a project called Dual Falldown.  Well, I got part way through the coding and I decided that it wasn't any fun at all.  So here's the source and the executable of the progress I made before this landed in the trash bin.  Use Y= and Window to move one and Trace and Zoom to move the other. :)

(Note: If you didn't understand that paragraph, it said "This is dead." :P )

I didn't check the source yet, but you might be using unsigned comparisons for the signed Y-value. In other words, when the Y-value goes below 0, it is treated as above 0 because it loops to 65535. To fix that, do << instead of <. But I'm just guessing because I haven't seen the source yet. Nice game idea, though.

No, it's because I wanted it to stay at the top.  There's a loop commented out in the source (While A and B or something) that's replaced with While 1.  It was to debug, but I never took it out. :P

You're purposely making them pass through the block? ???

If it's not hard enough to be fun, maybe you could have 4 balls or something? Or you could have just one set of controls that move both balls at the same time. Just some ideas, because the shot does look nice.

I don't really understand the goal of the game, but it's pretty fun anyway. :P

Mhmm are we supposed to die if we reach the top? I just fall through the floor. Also sometimes one of the ball moves by itself

This was something I added for testing.

Nice.  Sorry to hear it's abandoned, though.

If you really want to see this finished, I have no problem with someone using my source to finish it up or starting from scratch with this concept in mind. :)

Naw, it's okay.  I was merely lamenting the loss of a project in general.
