Title: Jump!
Post by: ztrumpet on September 19, 2010, 06:30:55 pm
This is my Axe contest entry.  I've included a gif and the most recent version.  This is completely bug free and though I'm pretty sure I'm done with it, if you have a suggestion I'd like you to post it. :)

Controls:
Menu: 2nd, Up, Down, and Clear
Game: 2nd to Jump and Mode to Pause/Unpause
Continue to the next screen: 2nd

Make sure you reach the top of the bar with the bottom of your block to "land" the jump. ;D

If you Archive the AppVar created, it will put it back in Archive when the program's done. :D

P.S.  If you like this, you can vote for it in the contest poll! O0

Thanks. :)  That's because they are both based off of this: http://ourl.ca/4161/77054

Space dash also looks quite similar, I wonder if it was also based off that?

Oh, oops I mean HGP.

Well then in that case. What is HGP? :P

Actually, the box jumping kind of reminds me of The Impossible Game

Psst, don't tell anyone, but the sprites are the same.  Mine backflips instead of frontflipping, though. :P
ThePenguin, how did you draw flipping boxes so well?

To those of you who have thought about putting the version I entered on their calc, please download this version, as it's slightly different. :)

Yeah it reminded me of The Impossible Game indeed, but also Ztrumpet's original Jump game. It looks very nice.

What's the difference between the contest version and this one btw?

4 changes:
1. I removed the Repeat getKey(54):End before the score screen.
2. I added a While getKey(54):End loop after showing the score, so if you were already holding down 2nd (and didn't get a highscore), it would pause there.
3. I made it easier to pause.
4. I realized that it was possible to squeeze one more pixel out in height, so I did that. :)

Thanks. ;D

Lol, spacedash was actually inspired by Robot Unicorn Attack. (and to some smaller degree the Impossible Game). I have actually never played HGP :P

Very nice game! My best score is 2000 :p very hard.

ThePenguin, how did you draw flipping boxes so well?

If you mean how did I come up with the shapes. I drew a box, then a diagonal box, and I tried to draw shapes in between. It wasn't really that hard when I tried to get all of the boxes to have 6 pixel sides.

Hmm, should I release this to ticalc now or wait until the contest is over?
Title: Re: Jump!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 27, 2010, 10:35:36 pm
You should release it now I think. After all, the deadline has arrived so you are allowed to release it. Just maybe include a link to Omni and screenshots. :)

Does it works pretty well for your needs?
Title: Re: Jump!
Post by: kindermoumoute on October 02, 2010, 11:34:55 am
sure, you can see screen.
Title: Re: Jump!
Post by: ztrumpet on October 02, 2010, 09:44:27 pm
Cool Kinder. :)  I'm glad it worked for you. :)
(For clarification, this is the routine I created for Axe Snake, have used in it, SpiderAx, and Jump so far, and is in the Routines thread.)
