Guess what? you'll never guess.
I wanted to see if I could simulate gravity, and it mostly worked!
this is my first ever real not really game, but sort of useless program in Axe!
I am so happy.
But, I have one question: run the program, and you will see what the problem is, it is too hard to explain.
I guess I should tell you the controls in it:
2nd-turn pixel on
mode-turn pixel off
Y=-clear entire screen
Graph-go to gravity simulator
clear-exit
2nd(while in gravity simulator)-rocket boost
arrow keys-move
source and executable are included
-
compile it for ion plz not asm(
-
No! I don't have a shell
Why is ion better?

I have no idea what you are talking about. ???

Hbj: he included the source ;)
EDIT double ninja'd, blarg
So, the problem is when the char tries walk up a slope, it goes through it? Try pixel-testing the pixels next to the feet, see if that fixes it.
I haven't looked at the source but I'd erase the initial sprite as well, so it doesn't stay there the entire time.
@parser in Axe you can select what to compile it for. He's suggesting to compile for Ion instead of "No Shell."

oh, i never realized that problem, but i will fix that.
the problem i was referring to was when you first enter the gravity simulator, then when you move, a copy of the guy just sits there, and for some reason i can't get rid of him...
-
well i guess it doesn't matter :P
I just cant get it to run :/
-
what calc do you have?
i made it on an 84+ se
-
running it on Wabbit on 84PSE
-
this may sound stupid, but what's Wabbit? ???
a lot of people talk about it.
-
emulator

http://wabbit.codeplex.com/
The best of the z80 emulators, and in active development :)
(more recent version under the Downloads tab)
I'm looking at the source now, btw.
EDIT:
Pt-Off(40,55,Pic3)Try getting rid of/commenting away this line, then see if it works.
-
Sweet thanks. don't know how that got in there.
new one should be coming soon...
-
No! I don't have a shell
Why is ion better?
It isn't much better, but when compiling a program No Stub (Asm(prgmNAME)), it doesn't show up under Ion nor MirageOS, only in Doors CS7. If compiled for Ion it cannot be ran from Asm(), but at least it shows up in every shell and in addition to that with Doors CS7 you can run it without the Asm( prefix like a BASIC program.
-
with DCS7
...and zStart, and NoShell, and CalcUtil, and maybe some others.
;)
-

Actually it can, and it's always been able to :)
-
Hey, this is pretty sweet. Is that my drawing function I see there? ;)
-
Ok, here is the newest (and greatest) update.
Things added: slope detection (thanks to Darl181) and erased origional sprite. :)

not exactly, but it was inspired by your water program. ;D
(Credit to you too)
is that ok?
-
Yeah, that's totally fine. I was just curious. It's cool.
-
Sweet thanks. :)
EDIT: how do you do screenshots?

You download Wabbitemu (http://download.codeplex.com/Download?ProjectName=wabbit&DownloadId=122222&FileTime=129621511134970000&Build=18207), then send your program to the virtual calc, press backspace and record :)
(If I don't have the right to put the link, could an admin remove it please ?)

A calculator emulator
(YAY, A RHYME!!
:w00t:)

backspace ???
-
I don't see why there would be some restriction on the link, it's freeware :P
And "backspace" is the key that deletes letters.
-
k i'll try it again...
edit: is it supposed to not show the screenshot while you are recording it in the little window?
-
It should have a glowing blue border.
-
I would swear that I posted some big post here....

Yeah with a bakspace-key picture ? I believe I answered you ^^

yup
or maybe that was somewhere else...
idk.

Hey, ima make you a screenie.

It looks pretty awesome, parser. Excellent work. :)

hey, that looks farmiliar ;)
thanks butts!

Wow! How did you get slopes to work???
Can I use this (or parts of it) for my game?

of course you can! I love to be of service.
check out the source, I commented it as much as possible...
happy programming! :trollface:
nice emoticon. :)
EDIT: just please give me credit ;)
-
I will, but I am very busy as of late and I am actually considering taking a one week break from omni.
I have more than three sprite requests, almost ten projects of my own, and more schoolwork than ever. But, I try to multitask.
-
*cough* jumping *cough*
looks good btw.
-
The jumping looks kinda forced, though, it doesn't slow down at the top, and it jumps too high.
-
In the program, you don't actually jump. You use your rocket booster and go upwards.
-
The screenshot looks awesome!
*Yeong wonders how to make slope(up) work
-
yeah, thats cool.
-
How does the slope work?
-
How does the slope work?
First of all, here's the guy sprite: (for the pxl-Tests)
00111000
00101000
00111000
00010000
01111100
00010000
00101000
00101000
:./= this means "does not equal to"
:.X is the players X position and Y is the players Y position
:
:.see if going up slope to the left
:
:If getKey(2) and (X/=1) and (pxl-Test(X+2,Y+7)) and (Y/=1)
:Y-1->Y
:End
:
:.see if just going left
:
:If getKey(2)
:X-1->X
:End
:
:see if going up slope to the right
:
:If getKey(3) and (X/=88) and (pxl-Test(X+6,Y+7)) and (Y/=1)
:Y-1->Y
:End
:
:.see if just going right
:
:If getKey(3) and (X/=88)
:X+1->X
:End
all it is is just pxl tests near the feet, seeing if there is a slope.
hopefully that helped. :)
-
That makes sense. Cool!
-
Woot I finally found out how to do screenies!!! :w00t:
-
This is late, but
No! I don't have a shell
Why is ion better?
You can run programs compiled for Ion directly from the homescreen as well, no shells needed.
-
If compiled for Ion it cannot be ran from Asm()
Actually it can, and it's always been able to :)
Not all the time. Some games, such as Ztetris, crashes on exit, and a bunch of other Ion games did not run at all (ERR:INVALID or RAM Clear). ??? Galaxian was the only Ion game I could get to run with Asm()
Also this looks nice parser. You should make the rocket gravity more realistic, though, so you start falling gradually or moving up slowly then faster, like in one of Darl181's engine.
-
Well what I think Quigibo means is that if you compile a program using Axe for Ion, it will always be able to be run using Asm()
-
Oh ok, I guess Axe does it right then.
