While I'm learning all the ins and outs of Celtic III, I thought I would make a little slots program.
Here's what I have so far:
(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/5657508e08.gif)
I need more sprites (look here (http://ourl.ca/3179)). I also need to get figure out why real(9 doesn't work..
Also, does anybody know if I can randomize a list. I want it to keep the same numbers, just different order. I also need to figure out a way to make the 3 different wheels go at different speeds, but I'll work on that later.
-
interesting, I assume you display two pictures, one with white in front of a black pic as kind of masking in front of the slot items, right? My suggestion would be to make them scroll at 2 or 4 pixels everytime, so it's not too easy to stop them at the right time

Yeah I'm just trying to get them to work right now, then I'll change the speeds. Actually I have it working a little differently than that.
First, I load the 3 "wheels" at the top of the screen. Then I scroll it down, and save the pic (none of this is displayed). Then I create a white box above and below the wheel picture to get rid of all of the excess stuff. Then I just OR the main pic on top of it all. To do it again I xOR the main pic so it gets rid of it, then start over. Kind of complicated, but it seemed the best way to do it. Right now it moves all 3 wheels at the same time because I'm saving them all to the same pic, but I'm going to start saving them to different pics and scrolling them so I can get varying speeds.
-
it is sort of complicated. good luck with it.
-
Lol yeah, but it works. If I can't get the real(9 function to work with Celtic III, I'm going to have to switch to xLIB :/
-
hmm, well, that is odd. It sounds like you have a logic error. If you don't think so, substitute the TOGGLEPIC command, "identity(1"

Hmm alright I'll try giving that a shot.

EDIT: I removed the code..it didn't look good
You also need Pic9, which is the main pic, so I'll upload it really quick

I would do as kevin said and increase the scroll speed, but also slots have the reals stop at different intervals (ie, the first one stops then 2 spins later the second one etc..)
-
it will be slightly complicated, yes....

Yeah that's what I want it to do, 1st stops, then 2nd and finally 3rd. I'm not gonna have user stopping, but I have to figure out a way to get the to scroll at different speeds.

hmm......
this sounds like a really fun program i want to work on! but i'm too busy :(
-
heh well once you finish pokemon I'll give you the source and you can have at it.
-
"finish pokemon"
you, sir, are a riot.
-
I do hope you finish :P
Else the Pokemon thread is gonna turn like the Zelda thread on Revsoft. I think posting Zelda on Digg and popular gamer blogs finally didn't helped much XD
-
well i will. but he talks about it as if it was next week or something :P

You mean you won't be done next week? what?!?!

It looks great so far ;D
Also, does anybody know if I can randomize a list. I want it to keep the same numbers, just different order.
With an n=N-element list (let's say L1):
:rand(N→L2
:SortA(L2,L1will randomize L1.
-
wait, so how does that work?

wait, so how does that work?
rand(N) will create an N-element long list of random numbers, and since the random numbers are 10 (14?) digits long there's virtually no chance of having non-distinct numbers. SortA(L2,L1) will sort L1 according to the order in L2 and store the result in L1. For example, if you had L1={1,2,3} and L2={.42,.21,.99}, then SortA(L2,L1) would return L1={2,1,3}.

that is pretty damned cool! it renders my card shuffler retarded, too! XD

STFU NOOB I HAVE TEH POKEMONZ!

I never knew that's how it worked.. Nice work. I've seen this used for card shuffler's, I just never knew where it came from (and I forgot how to do it before I asked this question :P)

Well seeing as how this isn't really progressing, no matter what I try, I think I'm going to put this on hold or even drop it all together. I started it to get more familiar with Celtic III, so instead of using this to learn Celtic, I've started a different side project. I'll post info later about it.
-
I'm sorry to hear :(
But I hope you continue your other projects though, this would suck if they died :(
-
Sorry to hear that you're dropping this :( Breaks are a great way to get out of a slump, so when you finish the other project you might want to reconsider picking this back up again.
Good luck ;D

I'll definitely continue my other stuff. This just didn't work quite like I thought it would.

Yeah maybe I'll learn something that'll allow me to do what I want to do.Thanks!

It would be cool to see a great casino game (like zCasino, but with more games), hope you get back to this one day..
