Help with the 2nd ? box

Ignore the other stuff

Post by: Darl181 on May 08, 2011, 05:10:35 pm
Can you describe the problem a bit more?  What's wrong with it?
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: annoyingcalc on May 08, 2011, 05:11:21 pm
I cant get the 2nd ?mark box to react when hit!
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 08, 2011, 05:12:01 pm
Could you upload a zip file containing the individual 8xp/8xv/8xi/8xk files or even post the source code? Because very few people here can open .tig files. Or is it a file you downloaded somewhere that you cannot get to work?
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: Ashbad on May 08, 2011, 05:13:36 pm
Also, can you explain more than "IT Won't teh hit" -- can you provide screenies, print source, or even an overview of how the code or the program works?  (And like DJ said, maybe a .zip file?)
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: annoyingcalc on May 08, 2011, 05:14:04 pm
No I made this .tig ? what I don't know how to upload a .zip tell me
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: turiqwalrus on May 08, 2011, 05:14:34 pm
what's it supposed to do?
when I run the program, it gives a screen with a mario sprite and 2 ? blocks, and then it flashes 'Done'.

Post by: annoyingcalc on May 08, 2011, 05:16:24 pm
What are you holding enter? If you enter enter ends it edit the source if you need to change it btw 2nd 2 jump
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: turiqwalrus on May 08, 2011, 05:22:21 pm
nope. I tried tapping enter, and it still didn't work. maybe you should try changing the exit key to Clear or something...
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: annoyingcalc on May 08, 2011, 05:24:26 pm
Ok like this? I mean as a zip yes I will make for you one sec

Edit:: Done
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: Darl181 on May 08, 2011, 05:29:13 pm
1. send individual files from calc
2. leave them as individual files

choice:
3.1: attach all separately
3.2: put all files (should be .8xp btw) in a folder, right click, "send to zipped folder"

hope this helps ;)

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 08, 2011, 07:22:00 pm
As a rule of thumb: Double (and even triple) posting is not allowed here, unless it has been several hours since your last post. Also I recommend being patient and avoiding all-caps bold text. I am sure someone will be able to help eventually if you give them time. I unfortunately cannot help, though, because I quit Axe 1 year ago.
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: Ashbad on May 08, 2011, 09:20:02 pm
annoyingorange, heads up, but you're being incredibly inpatient.  I personally don't get fed up with triple posting much, but usually it isn't mixed with 3 other regulation-breakings.  So, please stop and be patient, one post at a time.  Just don't do it again SVP.

Also, it seems as if you need to slow down a bit ;) I would actually look up at some source code for other mario-like games before attempting much more, this is a harder project to take on as your first Axe game.  I wish you good luck, but I'm not sure if you should rush in so soon with this -- however, if you do keep working on it, slow down and ask more specific questions about your problems, we can help you more that way ;)

And a screenie I made with Wabbitemu.

A few quick suggestions (off the top of my head):
> Close all your parenthesis (leaving them causes random bugs)
> Don't use 'Lbl MOV and 'Goto MOV' -- use a 'While' or 'Repeat' loop instead.
> Also, I don't know if this is intentional or not, but it looks like you're constantly updating the screen without ever clearing it: toss in a ClrDraw somewhere in the loop.

Title: Re: Help with Mario game

Looking at the code it just draws sprites according to keypresses, I think.

I guess so.  From looking at the source, it doesn't look like he intended for that to happen...

@Annoyingorange: I'm happy that you are trying to learn to program, however; it might be a good idea to start with something simpler first. Learning from other peoples programs is a good way to get experience as well. You can look at their code and change things bit by bit and learn how things work. :) I would also suggest typing in full sentences, and making sure to express complete thoughts. It will make it much easier for people to understand you, and it wil be easier for them to provide you with help. =)
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: Netham45 on May 09, 2011, 06:01:05 am
And, making your questions more specific helps us help you quite a bit.

Something like
Quote
Why does this code only execute 4 times?
Code: (Problematic Code) [Select]
5->a
while (a>1)
...
a-1->a
end

is a LOT more helpful than

PLEASE HELP I ADDED A GOOMBA IT DECREASED SPEED


Possibly post a small piece of code and ask for possible optimizations, too?
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: aeTIos on May 09, 2011, 10:55:47 am
Also, of course does adding more objects decrease speed :)
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: BrownyTCat on May 09, 2011, 11:29:45 am
I always run multiple copies of a program and test suspicious areas while keeping the others the "fixed variable" of the experiment, since usually I pass spare time with AXE and obviously have no net access on my calculator. Try using the good old-fashioned scientific method.
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: aeTIos on May 09, 2011, 11:31:29 am
Scientific method?? You mean trial and error?
also, the general name is Axe or axe, just for your typing ease :P

Indeed :) with all programminh, you need to test the outputs of a program at least once.  Unless you're Kevin Flynn and therefore a programming god, or Tony Stark and miraculously make high-tech information systems without programming at all.

Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: ztrumpet on May 09, 2011, 04:26:43 pm
Why don't you start with something easier.  For instance, you could try to make this game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lokl0DY6Z7g) (it starts at about one minute in; press [Enter] to jump, and if you hit the ? block, you kill Mario).  If you could get this to work, then you'd be on your way to being able to easier make a full Mario game. :)  Good luck! ;D

Maybe but grammar-nazism isn't welcome either here. It's not like his post was terribly written anyway. Plus the way you brought it up was kinda rude. We need to be careful how we call out people on things, especially newer forum members. We don't want to scare anyone away either, like what happened on certain other calculator forums a few years ago.

those are good points, I still think he wasn't rude, but if he accidentally wrote it with slightly different wording it could've been a catastrophe.  So, like DJ suggests, probably not a good idea at all unless if you're joking or the other person is fine with it in advance.

Yeah, personally I also don't mind if a member has been around for months and has lots of posts, but his posts are unreadable when he asks questions or reports bugs. Also, unnecessary correcting posts like the above can be considered as trolling, since it pretty much causes the topic to derail from its original subject into an off-topic debate.

What if physics in real life were like that? Anyway, try at least adding an unrealistic "Λ" jump and a tester so that if Mario hits an unregistered pixel, like one that's not an active object such as the Goomba or an item, he can't go further into it.

Yeah the thing is that it got Mario in the name. Just that inflates the download count. You gotta make it as good as possible in the future, though, because a lot of people in the community dislikes when somembody uploads a game with the name Zelda or Mario on ticalc.org just to artificially inflate his download count, but the game either never gets finished or has sub-par quality to Sam Heald's Mario. It is kinda unfair for people who make high quality games but barely gets downloads just because their game doesn't use a popular name.

I wish you good luck on your game. Also a suggestion: avoid using extremly large fonts on the forums and don't double-post :P

I already have a movement system identical to Sam Heald's Mario, sans-tilemapping/scrolling.
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 08, 2011, 11:36:35 pm
Ok. By the way you reallly need to fix the speed. I mean when walking, movement seems 5 times slower than when jumping. ???

And a double post is when you post two consecutive messages in a row. If it has been several hours since your last post it's fine, though.

What is a .app file? :S
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: p2 on June 26, 2011, 08:01:56 am
.8xp=Basic Program
.8xk=APP
.APP=maybe an AppVar...
But I'm not sure.
Never had an .APP file on my computer.

Where did you got this strange file?
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: Ashbad on June 26, 2011, 08:29:31 am
.8xp = TIOS program, in either BASIC, hEx uncompiled Assembly, Compiled Assembly, or now even Axe Source (unofficial)
.8xk = TIOS flash application
.app = doesn't exist...
.8xv = Application Variable

At least on PCs .app exists, it's a Mac program containing resource files and compiled binaries.
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: p2 on June 28, 2011, 01:28:12 pm
Try to rename it into PROGRAM.8xk
or PROGRAM.8xp

.App files do technically exist.  They are applications on a mac.  TI connect on the mac side is more screwy than on the windows side.  They have .app files.  Change it to .hex and sign it, IIRC.
Title: Re: Help with Mario game
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 02, 2011, 01:42:09 am
Yeah on Windows it's .hex

Also I can't wait to see a version of the Mario game without the bugs and where jumping horizontal movement speed is the exact same as when walking.

Sorry I had to rate down your post because it was rather innapropriate. Not everyone here know everything about macs and not everyone here knows about how crappy TI cross-compatibility between OSes is. I still have bad memories of figuring out what were those 8xo files.

Post by: shmibs on July 02, 2011, 03:48:23 am
hmm, i think this might have been a bit of a misunderstanding, samebull. recently we've had a bunch of trolls and the like, and not all of our members are primarily english speakers, so such things can sometimes happen. misunderstandings like that are easily avoidable by using sentences that are clearly understandable and convey your ideas efficiently.
of course, i'm not saying you should avoid a few jokes every now and then :P just avoid things that are ambiguous and could potentially be taken as insults.

what? but all I said is that we shoudl leave ashbad alone instead of ragging on him for app files. how was that innapropriate? x.x

like i said, it was a misunderstanding. dj has fantastic english, but his primary language is french and there are still a couple of phrases here and there that he hasn't heard before.

oh dj doesn't know all the english phrases
well i was confused since I got a message saying i was banned

Yeah at first we thought it was inappropriate (so we applied a ban, according to the current zero-tolerance rule), then we opened our dictionaries, then we ended up not being sure and unbanned you.

BTW I speak French as well :P

Yeah sorry about that, I misinterpreted the "let's let up on Ashbad" part as "let's jump on Ashbad ".

Here is the current source code and I need help with perfect collision detection
Title: Re: Super mario z80
Post by: mrmprog on October 08, 2011, 08:45:19 pm
Ok, a couple of things. I just glanced trough really quickly, so I will only point out the big things (that I saw). I noticed that several times, you were displaying sprites with a very long section of Pt-on(**,**,Str5), with each one being 8 pixels to the side. It may be better to put those in a For loop. I am not sure about this, but I think you also had a nested if statement that checked the same value as the first ??? Also, the jumping engine seems to be part of the collision checking problem. You can get stuck in an infinite jump loop. If you want, I could look at the source later and try to help with that. I hope I helped :)
