Those of you on Cemetech might have seen me and T.Wang talk about a project. We are making a game called "Dodge". The Beta versions can be found on ticalc and I have included the first version. Are there any tips/ideas/feature requests for us? We're out of ideas.
-
I can't try it yet due to being on my phone but I think I saw your Cemetech sig and was intrigued by the game. Maybe add a "Doge" mode where shibes are involved? :P
-
I won't be on Cemetech for a very long time...
Thomas made the signature bar
what's a shibe?
-
Aah ok, why won't you be on Cemetech for a long time? Is it blocked or does your parents restrict the amount of sites you can visit?
As for a shibe I was refering to the doge internet meme because the word dodge was a bit similar :P
-
I pronounce doge and dodge the same way. :P

The site restriction and the fact that I was banned for being unconstructive. I'm trying to make up for it by being constructive and rereading my posts before I post
-
Ah ok sorry to hear. While Cemetech is more lax on rude or unconstructive comments than Omnimaga, they tend to not take them lightly if the said comments comes from newer calculator users. That said it's a bit similar here although on Omni even older members got banned for it before (posts rarely do get deleted, though and there's a karma system) and we usually encourage people to proofread their posts to ensure they won't get misunderstood. (especially considering Omnimaga got plenty of non-English speaking users)
Anyway, I'm downloading this game finally now that I can do so, so hopefully I have some time to try it later this evening or tomorrow. :)

There's a new update for it. It uses xLib so you won't have to unarchive the subprogram movepi every time. We also added more falling *'s. I'll get it on when I can use my computer (I am using an iPad now). And of course, it's called beta 5.
EDIT: I added the group for B5. Note/reminder: You need Doors CS. It uses the Doors hybrid library check (1337=[[42) and has an icon. There's also dodgetst, which is a branch of Dodge that I made and named "V.1" without asking Thomas ;)
-
Cool to hear. I can't wait for the update :)
-
Dodge Test is now available on Ticalc.

Link? I can't find it.

This is the link:

The reason would be that it's called dodge V.1, the zip is called dodgetst after I renamed it. Sorry for not clarifying.

I might try to port this to the V200, while I'm hoping T.Wang will port this to the N-spire.
We're explaining this topic on different forums. Thomas does Cemetech while I do Omnimaga :)
I've stopped working on this recently so I could rest my overheated brain. I don't know about Thomas.

Thought everyone would like a screenshot.

I like the game, it's executed very well especially for a first game. It lacks a bit of a challenge, though. I would recommend that the chance of bombs/snowflakes/stars dropping is higher when you get closer to your X-position. That way you have to keep moving.

We both started TI BASIC this year :P
Oh, and there's a small update called B5, but the V.1 you took a screenshot of is actually a branch. I didn't get Thomas' "permission" to release it as V1 so... It's "high score branch" V1
-
I took a quick look at the source and I noticed that you call prgmMOVEPI twice every loop. Why is that? Also, I'd recommend not to use xLib for such a small game, you're probably off better with just pasting prgmMOVEPI in the main loop.

That's for the movement, it lets you move the pi while the * is falling. You couldn't before that, and it got frustrating.

Aah ok that explains. My other point still stands, though: I would recommend making your game just a single file.

I'll tell Thomas and see what he can do.
I hate subprograms in BASIC. Thomas said we had no choice :P
-
Something you might not know yet: You can copy-paste programs into other programs by recalling them, just like you do with strings, variables, etc. It's a really nifty feature that I've used quite a few times.

I do know that actually... I just don't use it that much.
And that was actually the only thing i thought I could use RCL on before.

Yeah I try to keep everything in as few sub programs as possible when making games. Unfortunately, with Reuben CSE I'll have no choice to use sub-programs, though (the character conversation display routine and window boxes, for example)

We dropped this as I'm moving.
I'm moving on ti 68k stuff, and I'm asking thomas to focus on Lua :P
So yeah, project finished.
-
Aww, that sucks :( IMO this project seemed to be a great learning exercise. But it's your choice ^^
-
Well, I'm trying to force him to code over the summer... but it didn't work :P
-
Is it due to moving too far away from him and never being able to see him again?
-
Yeah, across the country...
and I hate using google docs to code
-
Ah sorry to hear, I didn't realize the move was this far. It sucks to lose friends x.x
-
But, I feel closer to all you guys then any of my friends. Only prob, I haven't met any of you :P
Hey, you guys are better then all my friends in real life (most reject calc programming, thinking it's too hard. Others have giant egos and think they do better then me even though I taught them. Thomas is the only understandably guy, but he rarely talks to me out of school.)
Big egos are my main problem. This (ironically) started due to Thomas S.(another one that I taught for TSA)(big ego guy) saying we should make a game. He wanted snake, but couldn't even figure out the Output command. He actually wanted to copy one off the internet, like my friend Yifan on Cemetech (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7905&sid=1fb976769e7b96572b9690bea22b3d64) coping snake off the internet and using his name in place of the authors name (I hate him for that).
Thomas S. ended up not doing any work, not even planning, because he claimed to "not have time to program or learn."
Also because I drop most lazy programming friends.
-
Yeah I hate how with real life friends it's hard to have anything in common. I mean even with juju who I knew here first there are many things we like that the other don't care much about (for example I doubt juju would play Starcraft II :P), and in the case of people I never met IRL I tend to not follow hardware discussion much with them because I have no clue what it's all about :P, but at least we have more in common than with our other life friends. Also with IRL friends there are often the people that will only like 1 type of music, 1 game console and always think they are better than others.
I tend to not care much about if some of my friends don't code, because we usually hang out playing games or talking about related stuff otherwise anyway.
-
I pretend I'm too addicted to coding, so all of my friends know me from one prespective and you guys know my actual personality.
Honestly,most people here have more in common with me then most of my friends.

here's Beta 5. I stopped working because I moved.
