zContest Entry(hopefully :) Squareball
« on: November 16, 2011, 12:41:37 pm »
Okay, here's the topic y'all been waiting for. :P
A new AXE game.
I decided to 'delay' Grey till after the contest and continue on a easier(?) game based on the iPod touch game Squareball.
I have been playing around with my small map here. I haven't made yet that you bounce of blocks, so you go trough them atm :P
Anyway, what do you think of the speed? And I try to let the grayscale look the same as on-calc. When you don't move left or right the gray stays pretty(not so clear on the screenshot) but right away when I move left or right it starts looking less pretty. :( (As I tried to let wabbitemu show).
I guess it's kinda normal, because every time you move it has to draw a part of the map. I currently am moving 2 pixels right and left.

Comments are welcome. :)

Yeah, I felt like I had to say it at Tiforge, in case I would forget that or something. :)

I was busy on the titlescreen:
I'm planning on removing 'About' out of the list and put 'exit' or 'quit' instead. :)
So yeah, not such a big update.
In the meantime I'm trying to figure out what Interrups are in Axe. If you could help me with that, that would be marvelous. ;D
 
Also, what do you think of the titlescreen? I actually kinda stole it of the original. Anyway, that 3d-ish effect is just in the titlescreen to be clear. In game it looks kinda like I showed in my first post, maybe just with the colors inverted(black background). :)

I'm not, but AeTIos said that it would help me improve my grayscale or something like that. The thing is I don't now what it is exaclty and how to use it. :)

Interrupts are piece of codes that "interrupts" the main programs and runs. It's really fast, though :D

I see, but how could that help my grayscale improve?

Alright. I made that bouncing works properly now. You bounce and break 2 kinds of 'stones' and just bounce without breaking of the wall stone(black). So that's quite nice(for me at least). I'm also thinking that to put levels in now is gonna be quite hard so I think i'll just have random levels. Some kind of endless mode perhaps(?)
I must add time still and highscore and figure what happens at the end of an level.
At the moment I only have 3 'stones': Wall(black), soft wall(lightgrey and breakable) and score block(darkgrey and breakable). In the original game there are(at least)) still 2 other blocks which are just other score blocks anyway. So for now I think I'll stick with my 3 stones.

And then I gotta do still finishing touches and then that version(first and maybe last :P ) hopefully will be done in time for the deadline. Wish me luck :D
