Title: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 04, 2014, 03:24:10 pm
In pure BASIC (since Axe is incompatible with the CSE, and I can't find a way to do Asm), I am creating a todo list. This is compatible with monochrome calcs that use .8xp files, meaning the 83+ to the 84+CSE.
It has a monetary system, where you can get points by completing tasks. Use these points, called Sparks, in the Motor Shop to buy customization options, minigames, and more!

Edit: Version 1.2.5 is out.
Spoiler For Changelog 1.2.5:
Changelog 1.2.5:
*Actually fixed bug that quits when adding a list item
*Fixed bug that doesn't allow items to be checked off
*Small tweaks

Thanks! I already have the number to text engine working, and I'm working on the text to number engine right now.

Good news: Thanks to JWinslow23 and Runer112, I got the text to data and the data to text converters working! I also have the GUI and some checklist-y functions (selecting which item to check off and checking it off) completed.

Post by: 123outerme on August 05, 2014, 12:21:08 pm
Well, I finished the Motor Shop, and did a little bit more work in the GUI department.
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 05, 2014, 03:00:54 pm
I have the GUI 90% implemented. All I have to do is add the ability to add new list items, and then the framework is done. I have yet to do the minigames, though!
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 05, 2014, 03:15:39 pm
Now there is a demo version! See the OP for details. The only thing that I need to add is the minigames you can unlock. Other than that, it's finished!
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 05, 2014, 05:55:43 pm
New demo! See the OP for details. The last thing that I need to add is the minigames, and then you will be able to enjoy this fully!
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 05, 2014, 09:03:01 pm
I updated the demo. Now, everything works smoothly! Still, I need to add the minigames, but after that, I'll be done! ;D
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 06, 2014, 12:17:20 pm
Added a screenshot! I'm working on the first minigame right now.
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 06, 2014, 06:20:48 pm
I added the first minigame! I still need an idea for the second, though. I'm almost done, just a few more things to do!
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 12, 2014, 07:12:34 pm
I accidentally broke Engine. Once I fix it, I'll make a video of all of the features and stuff. I still need an idea for the second minigame!
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 12, 2014, 10:12:49 pm
From the first post it looks interesting, although new gameplay features will definitively be a good idea to make the game stand out from other ticalc.org games in general.

Oh, sorry, that's the first minigame. Should've specified that first :P
And, I fixed Engine a little bit, but I still screwed up a lot. Could anyone possibly help fix it? The broken version is attached.
Title: Re: Engine - A BASIC Todo List: Drive Your Goals
Post by: 123outerme on August 23, 2014, 02:34:57 pm
Well, instead of working off of that one, I'm working off of the demo version attached. It'll take me some time to figure out all of the differences and then apply the code, while also bug testing, but I will fix this!

I finally fixed it. I have no idea what I did to fix it, since I changed a lot of things, so I won't be tweaking it until I add the second minigame (which I still need an idea for).

Edit 10:50 PM Server Time: I fixed a few things and reuploaded. Now, this version is also on the OP!

The first minigame reminds me of the tunnel pack game on DJ's Ticalc: Catch the lobsters

It is only allowed if it are big updates, but then also not 7 times in one single day, that is just way too much. Next time just edit your post, except if it is a really major update. Or like, just post a update every 12h for a rule-of-thumb? IDK
