Title: Nymless v1.81: He's still working on this thing??
Post by: Freyaday on May 20, 2011, 12:21:38 am
Well, I can't give a screenie for various computer technical reasons, but your character is a single point, followed by a trail so you can see. In one night, I've got wall jump and friction. This is gonna be fun :)

I've got a mine, an exit door, a switch, some more stuffs, a timer that's not fully implemented yet, and much more in store. Also, It's now called Nymless; means the same thing, shorter, and it looks better in print.

Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 20, 2011, 08:59:55 pm
It's currently hard coded, but eventually I'm gonna move 'em to appvars once I get a level editor made.

I'm currently doing some testing, and it appears that it is possible to create a kind of capillary action by placing two barriers close to each other and walljumping, but I have yet to determine the max distance for this to work.

Here's a new Nymless screenie, with a new level and the famed Stuff That Shimmers. Nymless now loads its levels off an appvar. I still have to figure out how to do multiple levels on the calc at once and switching between them (can you tell it's my first time doing this sort of thing?) and the shimmering stuff is hardcoded, so once I figure that out I'm golden. Or Silver, as it were. :)

This is inspired by n and n+, and I'll add a finder soon, okay? Once I work out the level loading kinks. So, wha'ch'y'all think of the new mine?
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless

This is a really cool game, cant wait to play!
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 24, 2011, 04:49:36 pm
Ok, I've got the shimmering stuff appvar'd, got it implemented with the level editor, and now I just need to solve the issue of Multiple levels. I'll think I'll have a third program that keeps track of what you've done and loads the appropriate levels. Launching is actually instant, It's scary how fast it is. The teacher key is also implemented, as is the locator. To use the locator, press Y= Nymless will pause, and the levelscape will grey out, the door, its switch, the mine, and the shimmering stuff will disappear, and your character will remain black. The teacher key is assigned to a nonexistent key that is activated by holding Y=, pressing all four arrow keys at once, and then pressing one of the other keys in the top row.

If you're going to do it that way, keep in mind that instead of checking all of the top four keys other than Y=, you only need to check one of them because of how the keys work. If you don't believe me, check this: http://ourl.ca/7652
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 24, 2011, 05:12:33 pm
Well, Actually, The key triplets to press key 5 are Y= and UP and WINDOW or RIGHT and ZOOM or LEFT and TRACE or DOWN and GRAPH but that seemed too complicated and hard to remember, which is why I put it the way I did.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: yunhua98 on May 24, 2011, 05:58:43 pm
that's seems abit complicated...
why not just one button, and make it really complicated to get out of teacher mode?
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 24, 2011, 06:26:44 pm
because what this does is it dumps Nymless's state into an Appvar and quits, so that next time you start up Nymless, you pick up exactly where you left off, so you can hide the game from a teacher.

Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: aeTIos on May 25, 2011, 01:41:32 pm
I suggest using [MODE] for teacher key. Its just hard to press >1 key if you are rushed.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 25, 2011, 05:21:54 pm
I'll remap it once I'm done, but it won't be to MODE. Too easy to accidentally press.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 25, 2011, 06:55:26 pm
Here's the level editor, with the Shimmering stuff implemented. The coolest thing about the level editor (not shown) is that, when a level already exists, it'll load the coordinates and map for you from that level.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: ruler501 on May 25, 2011, 07:05:56 pm
Looks good. what are the controls for it? How small can you make those platforms(1x1 pixels or what?)
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 25, 2011, 07:43:56 pm
Arrow keys to move an object, the numpad to in/decrease the highth/width of a rectangle. The minimum size of a rectangle is 1x1, the max is 96x64, and while editing the levelscape (The black that's not the player) it's 2ND (seriously, could TI not afford lowercase stencils?) to enter that rectangle and start a new one. Each mode exits with a different key, starting at CLEAR for levelscape and going down to + for the Shimmering stuff.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 26, 2011, 07:10:43 pm
I've got the plan down for multiple mines and Shimmering stuff rectangles, I just have a question: What's the max# of mines and shimmering Stuff Rectangles you are gonna use in a level, keeping in mind that every mine and rectangle you put in the level will make the game slower and the level larger. Note that each mine is 4 bytes, and each rectangle 8.
Once I've got that settled, It's off to level making and adding some flair. (a la xy)
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: ztrumpet on May 26, 2011, 09:47:38 pm
That looks nice. I like the Shimmering. :D
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 27, 2011, 12:08:24 am
Ugh, my attempt to make it all one gigantic thingy failed miserably. So there's gonna be separate program and appvar for the mines and another pair for the rectangles of shimmer.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless

Nah. I got 'em all working today. And they work perfectly. I'm just tuning them up now and figuring out how multiple levels are going to work and then I'm set.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless

This will be great to see when it is done(1st place even maybe...)
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 31, 2011, 02:13:30 am
You really think so? Gosh. I added in the circles from xy. ( turns them on and ) turns them off. I think what I need to do now is work on multiple levels, add an inverse mode, and add some sort of scoring system. I'm thinking it should be based off a countdown timer, with a definable start time per level and a definable minimum time, allowing for negative scores. Ooh, and levels come in packs, and you have to score higher than a defined combined score for that pack to unlock the next one!
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: ruler501 on May 31, 2011, 02:20:58 am
These are great ideas. I was thinking you might have some kind of bouncy pad liek boards on the side that give you a boost and maybe items to pick up along the way. I can not wait for the contest to be over so I can make a comp port of this. I'd use txt's or something like that instead of appvars then ;)
I think you have a pretty good chance in this contest. You'll at least be top three I bet
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 31, 2011, 02:33:24 am
What's interesting about the shimmering stuff is that, when you're bouncing on it (gravity powered) you bounce a little bit lower each time. I didn't program that in, it just happens. Currently, when you die, all the mines go off. I think I'll change that later, once I get multiple levels working. Temporary appvars ftw!
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: ruler501 on May 31, 2011, 02:48:05 am
It might be interesting if on game over you have the mines go off in some kind of a sequence
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 31, 2011, 04:14:00 am
They'll go off when you trigger them. In case nobody's noticed, The game continues to run once you've died, it's just now the controls are dead, and you can't trigger the switch or exit the door. I actually had to add in code to make the switch and door dead once you've died, because, until I did that, it was possible to die and still win if you then passed through the door and it was open.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: ruler501 on May 31, 2011, 04:19:37 am
Your going to want to add in code to end the game when you die. that is pretty important. there can be a delay but the game has to end at that point
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 31, 2011, 04:21:15 am
Oh, you press CLEAR once you've had your fill of watching your character bounce around.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: ruler501 on May 31, 2011, 04:22:50 am
I still think there should be an auto end or go to the menu or something when you die. Somebody will forget they have to press the enter key and get really pissed at your game. I'm sure of that
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on May 31, 2011, 04:28:07 am
I'll start counting down once the carcass has stopped moving, but I'll leave that as one of the last things to implement so I can not have that and still turn in some awesomeness.

I'm gonna lose calc access for two and a half weeks (because my mom wants me to interact with the rest of the family while we're on vacation--what?) so my coding activities are gonna be sparse. Calc use returns on 7/4/2011, twelve days before deadline. On the plus side, I've finally figured out how to implement the levelpacks: When you attempt to load a level into action, there's a check to see if you've achieved a minimum career score, a value (prolly 32-bit) stored in the level itself. Nymless will be an App, btw, so I just gotta make a Menu system. The app will include the level editor, score checker, miner, and shimmerer, all accessible via a pretty menu. The currently loaded level will be used as the background. :)

Post by: Freyaday on July 08, 2011, 09:14:30 am
Nymless is back, baby! BOO-YAH! I have finally started work on level storage/loading. My only concern is working with the App and making the Main Menu functional. Well, that, and making enough levels, but w/e.

Post by: Freyaday on July 15, 2011, 01:56:35 pm
Guys, (and...girl?) I'm sorry. I'm not gonna make the deadline. Turns out the level saver is gonna take more work than I thought. That, and not having anybody to help me is a PITA. Nymless will be finished eventually, though. In the process, I will learn about the backwards horror that is the VAT, TI's malfeasance, and other useful infos.
Spoiler For Spoiler:
I'm not turning it in because I don't want to subject y'all to playing a game with one level. And I don't even have the cumulative score thing at all.

Hey, guess what? Nymless has new features! I figured out how to have multiple levels on calc: Groups. No, really. It's not perfect, but at least I can make levels while I work on fixing the Save program. I also added some new features!
Mines explode individually! Inverse mode is a go! Lock finder! Door finder! All-three finder! Restart button (only works when dead)! Explosions actually behave! Quicksave remapped to Y= and Clear! (Protip: Hold Y=, THEN press Clear.)
I'll upload it laters. In the meantime, have fun with the longing :devil:

No, what he was asking (and what I am wondering as well) is how you accessed groups in Axe?
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on September 09, 2011, 06:08:58 pm
I just said that, didn't I? I don't program it. I don't have a program to use groups in Axe. I, manually, via buttons, navigate the OS and manually group my levels. Manually. Not programmatically.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Darl181 on September 09, 2011, 07:30:36 pm
Groups are readable in axe, it's 2nd+9 (like 2nd+8 is appv, 2nd+9 is grp) The Axe docs don't say how groups are formatted, but iirc it tells you to look in the "TI-Developer's Guide" for help on that.

I've checked WikiTI, the TI-Developer's Guide, and a file format guide, and I was unable to find anything about groups. However, there is a bcall to deal with ungrouping (http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=83Plus:BCALLs:50C8), but I haven't found anything on creating groups except bcall 50C5: GroupAllVars (http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=83Plus:BCALLs:50C5), which groups everything in RAM. I might be able to play around with group files tonight, see if I can figure something out, since I want to know for my tutorial as well. It must be a bunch of programs in one file, though I'm not sure if there's some sort of header data, and where the program name fits into the file.

Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on September 24, 2011, 05:32:34 pm
Oh, hey, look a new Nymless! Now with new Features! When you die, press Graph to start over. If you feel like dying, press 0 and (-) at the same time. Press LOG for fourscale (beware, an Axe bug freezes the fourscale scanlines for an inderminate amount of time) LN for threescale (no bugs here) STO> For twoscale (b/w)
New Program: LVPREP (source: NYMPREP) clears way for you to load a new level
Also, I made a lot more levels for y'all. Have fun!

Post by: LincolnB on September 24, 2011, 11:26:49 pm
Hey, this is fantastic. I tried to make a couple levels, but there's two things: I don't like how I have to go into three different programs to edit levels, you might want to make a menu screen interface type deal, really simple, saying like, do you want to edit the shimmery stuff, the mines, or the land and other stuff? It would be really easy. Also, in the mines editor, I either placed all the mines in the top left corner, or only placed like two or three but couldn't delete them properly. You might want to make it so you can't have two mines in the exact same space.

When It's all done, everything will be accessible from a main menu. I have a semi-functioning version of the main menu coded and compiled, but there are some rather big issues to work out.
Also, the default starting position for the mines is in the top left corner, but there seems to be some sort of random glitch in the compiled program. Try recompiling the source, and if that doesn't work, try recompiling it in Axe 0.5.3

Post by: Freyaday on October 11, 2011, 02:37:59 pm
I have splendiferous news! The bug with Miner and the mines in the topleft corner has been solved! I rewrote the program, and, while I was at it, added a new feature: whenever you use +/- to change the mine you are editing, if that mine has not been entered, it'll save the position of that mine, so when you come back to it (using +/-), you'll be in the same position. Miner 2.0 is not quite done yet; I've got some display options I wanna implement and I want to have the rectangles of shimmer show up as well., but it's just about done. I'll get it finished up and then get Shimmer working, and then I'll upload them both.

Well, I am still working on those display options in Miner, please enjoy this release of Nymless. Notes:
Miner now displays the mine you are editing in 4scale in dark grey.
Shimmer displays the rectangle you are currently editing as hollow. Also, when you enter a rectangle in shimmer, it will look like it has disappeared or gotten smaller. This is because the rectangle you are now editing has the exact same dimensions and location as the one you just entered. I am trying to think up a way to solve this issue, any suggestions would be highly appreciated
Nymless has a new display option: Press MATH to make the rectangles of shimmer hollow, ALPHA to make them solid.

Do I have to ungroup levels to play it? D:

Yes. You cannot play the level directly from the group.

Ok guys, I am now taking Feature Requests! Please, tell me how Nymless can be improved!

Explosions, powerups, and l33t menu effects :)
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on October 13, 2011, 10:15:48 pm
I have explosions, powerups go against the mentality of nymless, but I am thinking of adding a pause menu. Whaddy'all want on it?
resume game is a good one... :P
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: LincolnB on October 13, 2011, 10:58:45 pm
I would say Resume, Restart, and Return are probably the three most basic options.
Title: Re: Contest entry--Nymless
Post by: Freyaday on October 13, 2011, 11:02:31 pm
Return?

Post by: Freyaday on October 18, 2011, 09:46:39 am
Here's the Nymless App! The app is called Nymless, and ti opens you to a menu. Up/down to change a menu option, 2nd to select it. Play Edit--Leveler Mine--Miner Shim--Shimmer Load--ignore this Save--ignore this too Exit-quits

Post by: Freyaday on November 16, 2011, 09:27:12 am
New Nymless! Newness: Rectangles of shimmer flip between solid and hollow for a frame when you bounce off them New Menu option, Wipe, clears out the current level. WARNING: Wipe does not ask for confirmation before clearing your level, so make sure you have saved your work! You can now pause Nymless! Press 5 while playing to pause, any key to resume The Nymless savestates are much, much smaller now! (from ~850 bytes to ~90 bytes)

New Nymless! The shimmer rectangles' bounce effect now works properly Press CLEAR while Nymless is paused to make a quicksave and quit Press * to activate lines from the corners, / to deactivate The rectangles of shimmer have been made easier to see in inverse 3scale and 4scale Three new levels, ANTFARM, CROOKED, and SADISTIC. Have fun! EDIT: If you downloaded the previous version of Nymless that was attached to this post, please redownload. It was corrupt and crashed upon winning. Also, unsigned. New version is signed and works properly

New Nymless! New Features: Added the ability to load and save the position of the lemniscate animation (LOAD and SAVE respectively) Saves to the Appvar NYMPOSIT Added some Stats (NYMSTAT): View by holding GRAPH on the Main Menu Mine and Rectangle stats have been moved to ZOOM Replay! Press TRACE at the Main Menu to relive your win (or agonize over analyze your loss) While in Replay, all of the various visual options can still be changed on the fly with their respective buttons. Hold + while in Replay to fast-forward, and ON to slow down. Replays are stored in the appvar NYMPLAY.

FUCK YEAH. The infamous Nymless Win Bug has been fixed, thanks to Runer! Also the Shimmer editor has been upgraded and is no longer headache-inducing with large amounts of shimmer on the screen. Replay now shows button presses. Two bars on upper half of screen==jump Bar on lower half of screen, l/r side: L/R movement half-screen bar on bottom, l/r half: l/r wall-jump. Two new levels: SHIMSHIM and SDTCBSTD Without further adu, Nymless v.90!

Awesome to hear :D. Also the gameplay looks interesting, but for anyone who don't have much time to try it, I suggest you try it anyway because the gameplay screenshot doesn't have any actual gameplay until 4 minutes 26 seconds in :P (except level editing and almost everything else mentionned in http://ourl.ca/6245 :P)
Anyway I'll download this and give it a try when I have some time. This game has come a long way :)
