This is the first game I'm going to be working on. It's a graphical(as in non-ascii)Gradius style game made in TI-BASIC + XLIB. I expect it to run very fast and have some minor game engine stuff up and runing, but it looks quite promising ATM. I have no XLIB experience as of yet so I'm sure I will have some questions. :)  If XLIB does not entierly suit my needs I may try to include some other minor ASM to supplument it as need be.

Cool! A scrolling shooter in BASIC! Looks like it'll have interesting gameplay when finished.

Cool, I think you will find the scrolling routines from xLIB useful for this :)

Now that haloween is over I have more time for coding and working on projects again. Here are some sprites I've been working on for this game. The player ship is the one on the far left. Any feedback is appreciated :)

which ones do you guys like/not like ? I'm not sure what all I'm gonna use yet. Also; working with 8x8 sprites has reminded me of how limiting they are :)

Here's a title screen I started on last night. I finished it a bit earlier. First pic is before I added shadows.

How is it progressing? o.o

Post by: TIfanx1999 on December 07, 2007, 03:01:00 pm

Slow atm, trying to finish up a couple more sprites and then I'm going to research some similar games coding (ie phoenix) and go from there.

kk, I was getting worried because the only staff project that still seems active now is Jon's platform engine and Ultima V ._.

I have something else that is *MUCH* more intersting that I'm working on but it is going to take some time before it is ready to show off.  :rainbowdevil:
