Title: Plants vs Zombies
Post by: Compynerd255 on June 10, 2011, 11:06:20 am: This is a project that I started a few weeks ago, after finishing Eitrix. I wanted to port Plants vs Zombies for iPhone onto the 83 Plus, in Axe. I did get a good start on it, and I was able to add the Sunflowers, Peashooters, and bullets, and also added walking zombies. However, I'm having a little problem that I'm discouraged with: As you can see by the screenshot, the bullets aren't hitting the zombies - they just pass right through. Could I please have some help? I've provided the source and executable.

EDIT: Oops, I forgot to provide the source and executable! Here you guys are. Feel free to use this code however you want. :)

Post by: leafy on June 11, 2011, 04:40:06 pm: I would recommend you slow down the game a bit, work on the sprites, and have the peashooters firing only when the zombies are in their row. Might be a bit tricky, but it looks like you're off to a decent start.

What? That's really weird. Must have forgotten to put the program in the zip first! *facepalm* I'll reupload it when I have the chance.

I know I'd probably be dissappointing you guys, but I have since moved on to a different project, this time an original concept that could actually be entered in the Axe contest: a platformer/puzzle where you are a slime that moves through a maze by clinging to walls. It will have active objects, grayscale, scrolling, and a Minotaur.
The program is still a good start though, and I would love to upload that code so that you all can use its components, especially you, z80man.

You should. PvZ would be a great game for the calculator. If you decide to do it, good luck! :thumbsup:

Post by: p2 on August 11, 2011, 01:57:11 pm: annoyingorange, you should show an Orange in greyscale at the beginning of the program and write "ANNOYING" under it!! ;)
But I'm sureI'l be great fun to play this game if it'll be ready!!
