If you've tried all of Builderboy's incredible games, then at one point you've played Spider: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/413/41359.html It's a wonderful game and lots of fun, only it's a little slow. Less than 24 hours ago I had the idea to port it in Axe, and, well, here it is. The controls are self explanatory, and if you don't understand the gameplay, here's a link to the original readme: http://www.ticalc.org/cgi-bin/zipview?83plus/basic/games/puzzle/strategy/spider.zip;ReadMe.txt . All my changes were: There is no Angel Productions logo. :( The cursor starts where the spider starts. The high score system has been changed. There's a pause feature (Press Mode). Anyway, enjoy this quicker remake of an awesome game! Let me know what you think!
(This was compiled in Axe 0.3.2 for Ion) ;D
Thank you Builderboy for making this awesome game! :D
-
Wow looks nice! I think I'll need to read the readme first, though, because I did not have time to check all of his games so I don't really understand what is going on at 100% XD (at first it reminded me of Pipe Dream :P)
Nice job ^^
-
Cool! I'll have to try this, it looks awesome :)
-
=(
Quigibo, I have a problem. If I try to compile this in Axe 0.3.3 it errors Bad Symbol at 65% First Pass. Any ideas? :(
Anyway, the version uploaded works, so quick, everyone, try it! ;D
-
Hmm weird, you would need to ask in the subforum. It could be a syntax change, tho.
-
Wow thats amazing Ztrumpet! Thats an amazingly accurate remake, and a very fast and smooth version at that :D Heh and all the changes you made are good ones :] Congrats on the awesome remake! And getting it finished in 24 hours, just like the original! :D So awesome
-
Nice port! Looks really cool.
-
I wonder if you'll put it in the download section adn ticalc.org?
-
You should definitely do that. :)
Edit: 600th post!
-
At first I thought it was just another pipe game...nice, but I've seen before. Then, I saw you changing the pipes while the spider was moving. Awesome! Did builderboy's do that too, or did you add it in the port?
-
I'm pretty sure that that part's in both games, especially since it is the game's namesake (it is called spider :P)
-
Yep, that was in the basic version too :) The only thing he changed were the small things such as the logo, highscores, and the starting position of the cursor.
-
Oh yeah, I'm phasing out the single argument syntax of Output() because the compiler will automatically optimize that for you if the first 2 arguments are constants. I haven't implemented the optimization yet but apparently I must have accidentally cut it out of 0.3.3, it was supposed to be a 0.4.0 change, my bad.
Awesome game though! This is very enjoyable to play. Can't believe you made it all in 24 hours :D
-
Wouldn't it be nice to allow it though in case a variable is already correctly formatted? Just a thought.
The Game game is definitely good though.
Edit: Oops... :P
-
Quigibo nice, sounds like a good idea. Not that I really ever used Output, though, anyway ;D

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know. ;D
Thanks for the kind comments. As for Ticalc, once I write a readme, it'll be up there... :D
Builderboy, I never knew you wrote it in under 24 hours. Do tell the story about the makings of the game. ;D
-
I could write games fast, before, but when I managed something in 24 hours, it was uber mega simple x.x
Anything else (example, an old snake clone on graph screen with obstacles or a pac man clone in 2002) took me at least 2 or 3 days.
-
I finally got to try it, after taking several minutes to figure out what was going on (even after reading the original readme x.x), and it was quite fun. I only tried easy so far, though (and got 84). Nice game :)
I think you should put it in the downloads section when you return.
EDIT Well the power of emulators have allowed the following screenshot :P
-
lol, thanks DJ. ;D

Yea! It's official. It's also in ticalc's queue. :)

What an awesome looking game...I've always enjoyed the "pipe-connecting" games. So does that blinking cursor at the beginning tell you where the spider is going to start?

Yup. =)

Glad it's released! After you figure out how to play the game, it's awesome!
