Title: Mega Dead Pixel [Axe - Contest Entry]
Post by: zeldaking on November 06, 2013, 01:58:16 pm
Well I just got my calculators back, so it's been a while since I've been able to program. I was hoping to enter into the contest, even though the deadline is today. Anyways here goes.
It's a game where you are either a 1x1..2x2 etc 8x8 block of pixels that has to "paint" dead shapes as they scroll by. Trick is, running into the shapes causes you to shrink by one pixel and you die when you hit a shape when you are a 1x1. Painting shapes in quick succession leads to a mode called "super pixel" where you are huge and can crash into shapes. Painting a shape requires brushing by a shape as it scrolls by. To get bigger; you either eat a single pixel or turn into a super pixel. There are coins to pick up that let's the player but new shapes to get high scores.
Here is a picture of all the shapes, I might add a few more. But this is them for now.

If I don't finish by today, I'll keep working on it and finish it, but not for the contest.

Edit: Picture fixed. Thanks

Yeah, sorry for the huge size. I'm not sure how to make is smaller :P
I am programming as fast as I can.

To make the pic smaller, use "width=__" in the img tag. Quote my post if you want an example.

Anyway, good luck with your entry, the concept looks promising.

Or use image editing software to shrink it down.

I hope it's not an important class. I failed a lot of math tests because I found the calculator more interesting than math :P

My teachers have never asked for a RAM clear, even for national tests like the ACT and AP tests.

for AP tests it states that you are allowed to bring your own software on your calc into the test, so the teacher wouldn't be allowed to make you ram clear on that one.

Too bad you didn't get time to submit this for the contest, but this looks interesting, so I definitively hope that you'll finish it. :)
