Title: Jump
Post by: mrmprog on July 27, 2011, 02:51:18 am
This is my first attempt at something big in Axe. You jump around and try not to fall. Yay! I am going to try and make this a full game.





(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/0-jump.gif)
It looks better on calc. Thanks to Eeems, Darl, Hayleia, FinaleTI, Builderboy,and p2 for help.  I need to somehow make it so impossible places can't happen. If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know. I will be fine tuning things, improving code and the such meanwhile. Please give me feedback, as this is my first Axe project.


Controls:2nd to jump, left and right to move, enter to select stuff, clear to exit or skip stuff.

Looks pretty good man, I like it
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 27, 2011, 09:28:06 am
Glad you like it :) Yay, updates! I made platforms more "regular", a new sprite for falling/jumping, you can jump further, and dying is... different.

Next: Highscores, a menu, and a death animation.
Maybe Next: Title screen.

looks not bad - it looks good!
You may add, that the lines are just possible to be at every trind line of the screen, or something like this. (then they are not like giant, grey blocks of 4 or 5 lines)

I think, A ball or a smiley would be a better than a stickfigure. (you can't really see, what the pic is; ih's hard in cause of the grey lines)
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 27, 2011, 10:03:59 am
Yeah, I might change that. What would look best in your opinion?

Edit: I made some smiley sprites and they look much better, thanks :)

Tommorow, I will post another screenshot with the new sprites.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: p2 on July 27, 2011, 10:30:45 am
I thought of something like this:



Now, your Program makes that:
Quote
--  -  - -  - --- -

-- - ---- - --- --
-- - - - -  --  --


- - -- - ---- --
----- -- - ---- -

- - --  --- -- -

--- --- --  -- -

--- --- - -- -- 
-- ---- - - ----



If you make it like this:
Code: [Select]
:rand^16 -> A           //A is the Y-coord of the line
4*(A) -> A
the game would look like that:
Quote
--  -  - -  - --- -



-- - ---- - --- --



-- - - - -  --  --



- - -- - ---- --



----- -- - ---- -



- - --  --- -- -



- - --  --- -- -



--- --- --  -- -



--- --- - -- -- 



-- ---- - - ----

It will be better like that, because else there are giant grey blocks of 3 or 4 lines, each one intersecting each other.


With this you'll get the best results iv you use many lines.





Another idea:
Try to use
:pt-off(X,Y,[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF])
:pt-on(X,Y,[code of smiley])
It'll make a white space behind the smiley, so that you can see it better.

For that idea, a
Pt-Off(X,Y,[code of smiley or pointer]
would be enough as "Pt-Off" puts a sprite but erases what there is at the location before.

No it doesn't.  Pt-Off() simply XORs the sprite in parameter slot 3 against the said place on the buffer, it doesn't clear the space behind it first.

Wut ? Weren't you confused with Pt-Change ?
Here is a screenie of Commands.htm
Or maybe I'm wrong because of a grayscale story. I don't know anything to grayscale.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: Ashbad on July 27, 2011, 04:01:37 pm
Oh, my bad, you are correct.  I remember that Pt-Off used to mean it XORed it against the buffer,  I guess that has recently changed.

I don't think it's ever been like that. Pt-Change( has always been used for XOR.

I need to ... make a counter of some sort so that it shifts the screen every few times through the loop, instead of every time.


Try this:

Code: [Select]
.use the variable A for the counter you need
.Main game loop:

1->A

Repeat getkey(15)

A+1->A

If A=4
1->A
End

If A=1
Vertical +
Vertical +{r}
End

.Rest of your code goes here
.
.

End
Let me know how that works out. Also, if you wanted to have multiple difficulty levels, you could have another variable , like B or something, and instead of writing:

Code: [Select]
If A=4
1->A
End
, you could write:

Code: [Select]
If A=B
1->A
End
, where B is the difficulty level, 4 being easiest / slower because it makes it wait longer to scroll, and 2 being the fastest (where it scrolls every iteration of the main game loop).

Let me know if I didn't explain that very well.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 27, 2011, 10:46:55 pm
@buttsfredkin Thank you for the code, but I already did that using the score counter. You will see it soon.
Also, about the pixeloff(, if I do that, wont it erase the lines behind the sprite? The lines are just drawn every few cycles of the loop, so I don't think I can redraw them if they are overwritten.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: Hayleia on July 28, 2011, 04:00:13 am
Yes, the lines would be erased :(
But what do you use ? Do you use Pt-On or Pt-Change ? Because the guy's pixels seem to be inverted if there is a line behind him, so it looks like a Pt-Change.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 28, 2011, 04:03:03 am
Yes, It is Pt-Change. If you can think of a better way, please let me know. I will be posting an update soon, and this time I will include the poorly written source. Btw, check the first post for the most recent screenie :)
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: Hayleia on July 28, 2011, 04:15:02 am
Well, it depends on what you want the effect to be. I added an image to figure out. The horiznotal line is a line and the vertical line is the "smiley sprite". "Chan" means "Change" but I dindn't have the space.
If you use Pt-Change, the common pixels will be white.
If you use Pt-On, the common pixels will be common pixels, black.
I don't know what you want your game to look like, so, choose ;D

EDIT: crap ! my image is ridiculously small !
EDIT 2: image changed

Try it with a 8x12 white space behind your smiley.




Or, better idea:

Make the smiley 12x12
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 28, 2011, 11:56:42 pm
Ok, I updated the first post to have the source and the most recent executable. About the sprites.

Right now, I have this:
Code: [Select]
Pt-change(A,B,Pic1+E)
DispGraph
Pt-change(A,B,Pic1+E)
So that the lines are not erased when the pixel testing part comes.
If there is a better way to do that with an 8*8 sprite, please let me know. I am also thinking of adding fire so that when you die, you fall into flames. Powerups, like a rocket that would cancel out gravity, or springs which would make you jump further, are also being considered. I may also add an enemy mode, where "ghosts" would eat lines, or try to shove you off. Let me know if you approve of these ideas.

Sounds awesome!  From the screenies, this seems really promising! May I suggest a controllable jump?  The longer the jump button is held, the higher the character jumps, with a max jump cap of course.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: Hayleia on July 29, 2011, 03:34:37 am
I am not sure of what I am going to say !
I think that in the newer versions of Axe we can display sprites directly on the screen, so, your lines would be erased on the screen but not on the buffer. And a simple DispGraph would put back the lines to the screen.
I don't know if that function exists so I can't say how to use it either.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 29, 2011, 05:29:56 am
If there was a "draw to screen" thing, that would be perfect! However, I am still using 0.5.3 because 1.0.X crashed my calc. Perhaps it would be possible to do some buffer stuff to achieve the same goal. Currently the jumping is semi-controllable. Since you can only jump if you are on a platform, you can perform "long jumps" if you stand under a stack of platforms, and you will climb to the top quickly if you hold 2nd. If you let go of 2nd in the middle of a "long jump" you can stop at a platform along the way.  It would be interesting if I could implement more controllable jumps. Btw, the latest version has a menu, I will release it later.

Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: Hayleia on July 29, 2011, 06:21:36 am
Another idea !
You could put the lines in the main buffer and put the guy in the back buffer and use a DispGraphr.
If it is not in a fast loop, it won't be greyscale, I think. But I am a noob at it so I'm not sure.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game

I haven't found a tutorial for sound, too.

No, I don't want to be an eggplant.
Let's get back on topic.
Mrmprog, I found a solution !!!
StorePic copies the main buffer(MB) to the back buffer(BB) and RecallPic makes the contrary !
So, you have the lines on the MB, make StorePic, then use Pt-On and DispGraph and finally RecallPic to get your lines back on the MB !!!! :w00t:
(but maybe it will be slow)
Title: Re: mrmprog's game

Good update ! The flame animation is awesome !
For the highscore appvar, I don't think GetCalc(Str3,[])->? would work. You have to write the name of the appvar each time you use GetCalc, not redirect it to a pointer (I think)
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 29, 2011, 10:53:07 am
Are you sure? I think I got that code from the Axe documentation. Did the highscores work for you?
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: Hayleia on July 29, 2011, 10:55:35 am
I don't know, clicking "Highscore" leads to the game :D
but after quitting the game, I looked for the appvar and saw nothing :(
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: FinaleTI on July 29, 2011, 10:56:32 am
GetCalc(Str3) is valid code, so long as Str3 contains a valid external variable name, and it seems to in this program. I haven't actually tested the code though, I just peeked at it in SourceCoder.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: p2 on July 29, 2011, 10:57:44 am
You should make
Code: [Select]
:clearDraw
:clearDraw^rbefore showing the score.
Then the flames wouldn't be black before showing the score

And you may show the score and the text around it in the second line, not in the first line.

try not to make the jump more like on my pic.
wait betwean jumping up and falling.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game
Post by: mrmprog on July 29, 2011, 11:02:31 am
This is really strange. On my calc, when I check the highscore, everything works, even if the appvar doesn't exist. It should create the appvar after you play the first time.

I just checked in Wabbit, and the appvar is correctly made.

Your code was actually very close to working properly.
I fixed a few things, the main ones being the fact that your If A=X statements were off by one, and the fact that one of your labels started with a number. Fixing the label issue allows the game to compile with Axe 1.0.x, as well.

This is so strange. Is anyone else having this problem with FinaleTI's code? Btw, @FinaleTI your code fixed many things, thank you.

You should make
Code: [Select]
:clearDraw
:clearDraw^rbefore showing the score.
Then the flames wouldn't be black before showing the score

And you may show the score and the text around it in the second line, not in the first line.

try not to make the jump more like on my pic.
wait betwean jumping up and falling.

Are you referring to gravity?

Good reasons for it:
first: it would look more realistic
second: It would be easyer because then you'll have more time to react!

mrmprog, if you're interested in implementing gravity, you may want to check out builderboy's physics lessons tutorials.

Ok, I haven't posted here in a while...
I have been adding optimizations and ideas at a slow pace. I plan to have two modes. Survival and normal. In normal, you collect "cookies" and receive extra points per cookie. You can win by getting all the cookies required. Then you will automagically start a new game where you must collect more. In survival, you go as long as you can.

Maybe you could add masked sprites or "masked sprite", I just learned that from shmibs (so if you use it, give credits to him, not to me).

Quote from: shmibs on August 09, 2011, 02:01:34 pm
a simple way to do masked sprites, if you don't feel like messing around with ptmask(, is to OR the entire area you want the sprite to take up and not be transparent, and then XOR all the white spaces. i already have the character sprite above broken into the parts to be OR'd and XOR'd.

here's another pic to help explain the OR/XOR thing better.
Spoiler For image:
(http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9844.0;attach=8946;image)
the first row of sprites is displayed with PtOn(, the second is displayed on top of them with PtChange(, and the third row is the end result. those black things underneath the sprites are shadows which are displayed when he jumps down a ledge. they aren't displayed when walking normally.

Also, if you only use horizontal (or vertical lines), you can replace them with rectangles. If I am not wrong, every Line call and every Rect call takes 14 bytes, but the line routine takes 158 bytes while the rectangle one only takes 114. But I am not sure, and this is not a very important optimization (also, the rectangle is not Rect(X,Y,X,Y) but Rect(X,Y,width,heigth) so it can be hard to change in your code).
Title: Re: mrmprog's game (now called Jump)

Also, Rectangles are faster to render than lines, so when using straight lines use rectangles.

This is an 84+ game.  You would need the 84+ keypad.

Hi and welcome on the forums. Simply connect the 84+ keypad then send the game using TI-Connect or TiLP.

By the way this game looks nice mrmprog :)

What do you mean by 'impossible places' ? As in, you need to make it so that no places occur where two platforms are so far apart you can't jump to them?

It's compiled to asm, so I think you do need ndless (not sure if the 84 keypad changes this), but you also need a ti-84+ keypad for sure.

I don't actually have an nspire, but I know a way to check if this will work.  If you use the Catalog ([2nd] 0) and see the command Asm(, then it will work fine.  As for the software, try downloading TI Connect (possibly updated) strait from Ti's website (the calculator part, of course).  It's free, and should work.  Good luck getting the hardware communicating :thumbsup:
Title: Re: mrmprog's game (now called Jump)
Post by: runeazn on August 16, 2011, 07:34:49 pm
yeah problem is ti connect doesnt work,
ti nspire student software works, but as the name says only for nspire.

Ti connect can find my 84 but not ti nspire, oh the compatibility!
But it cant communicate, tried normal + a cable i used before, both still give the error.
so i cant even put the file in..
Title: Re: mrmprog's game (now called Jump)

tilp does actually install the drivers, as the ti connect software said,
"you can get errors click continue" unsigned drivers"

but tilp doesnt work either..

You can't have both TiLP and TI-connect on the same system.

You want to have the calculator turned on with the 84+ keypad in. For all intents and purposes, it is now an 84+, now you use TI connect to send it the files. If it is in nspire mode, you are doing it wrong.
Title: Re: mrmprog's game (now called Jump)

and both cant communicate

Can you send a file from your 84+ to your nspire?
Title: Re: mrmprog's game (now called Jump)
Post by: chattahippie on August 16, 2011, 07:43:47 pm
Okay, it seems you are at desperate needs according to my terms.
I can think of only one (impractical) option:

Use a Ti-84 (if you have one) to download the needed program/ possibly axe (if you want the source), then transfer the files from the Ti-84 to the nSpire

Wow, I know this is really messed up, but it is the only way I can think of other than trying different computers

haha lol btw i only have this device
btw we are talking about this game i want on it hahahahah
nothing desperate, but i want it working for the future

[edit]
looking good, tried my custom way :0 tell you soon about it,.
ti connect actually can read my general info about the calc !!!

[edit2]
nah failed again
method was : let tilp install drivers
unisntall it keep drivers
install ticonnect but still unable to connect

it shows the files etc. but when i send something it says it timeouts and need to check the cable,
 arghhhh so what now?

[edit] i got it totally working by setting time out to 10 seconds lol.

ok so i placed the file, try to start up and it gives me one option and that is quit?
and that is erro syntax? i downlaod jump.8xp

[edit] got it working too
by following the tip 2nd 0 asm program jump and play :)

Thanks. I used the awesome flam tutorial that Builderboy made. You should check it out.

Items!
Ok, this is cool. I made a gif of myself playing around with thew new stuff. A download is coming in the next few days.
(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/0-jump.gif)
As usual, it looks a ton better on calc. I will post an explanation of what everything is later, beacause I found a bug while making the screenie.

Ok, bug fixed.
Changes:
Lives:New one every 1500
Money:Gives you more points
Strange boxy thing:Spring, gives boost if you hit it the right way.
Spiky thing:Gives mega boost, but at a cost of points.
*Up arrow:Increases your jump height for a while
*Down arrow:Decreases jump height.
