I actually tried what ClrDraw said, only my implementation didn't work.

Toctave, I'll do what you said.


EDIT: I did what Toctave said, and all possible test conditions work properly! :D


ThankyouthankyouTHANK you! ;)


Oh, and I saw your game. The only two things I could think to add are animations, and graphics that actually show me what the tiles are. I'm confused; is a dot a 2 or a 4? :/

You're welcome for the help (didn't do much :D). And about my game, you can press 2nd to display the numbers that go with each tile. And I'm working on animations, tho it doesn't work well for now.

I saw that you didn't want the game to keep its grid intact after you quit and started again the game. That can be easily explained : you're using a part of your program as a buffer (the map), thus you edit on the fly the program's content. That explain what the grid isn't reset each time you launch the game. Fill the buffer with zeroes before editiing it! ;)

Or use "external" safe RAM like the one pointed by L1, or L2, etc.

Bump.

I just wanna say that my port is going along smoothly, and I already have most of the game mechanics coded! :D Here is a screenie:


All I need is a Game Over check, and some sidebar graphics...

Source coming when the Game Over check does!

For the game over check here's a nice algorithm : loop through all the tiles from the bottom left one moving up then right and perform the following checks :
-If the tile is empty, the game's not over. Stop the loop. You could also keep a counter for empty tiles, that would be faster because one less check in the loop which only gets executed if this counter hits 0. Every move would decrease it by 1 for the new random tile and every merge would increment it by 1.
-If not, check the tile to the right and above. If either is the same as the current tile, you can still do something. End the loop here.
-If both checks fail keep going.
-If you are on the last tile and it's not empty you can't make any move => you lost THE GAME.

Hope it helps and yes it looks pretty nice.

Or something else you can do to detect a game over is to virtually run a left shift (as if the player pressed the left arrow), a right shift, an up shift and a down shift (of course you do it virtually, you don't show animations and you keep the original board intact) and you check if they are all the same as the original board.

Yeah that works too. I take it that you meant "you keep the original board intact" though. :P

Streetwalrus and Hayleia, I already have a GAME OVER check (and I still want more :P ). What I did:
  • Check through each tile on the board
  • If every space is occupied
    • 0 -> X
    • For each tile on the board
      • If (one tile to the left=the current tile) or (one tile up=the current tile)
        • Any nonzero value -> X
      • EndIf
    • EndFor
    • If X=0
      • GAME OVER
    • EndIf
  • EndIf
And Hayleia, I actually considered making a move LEFT, then UP, and doing a check as to if any tiles moved. This proved problematic, however. :P

TheCoder, thank you! I have new graphics coming soon (courtesy of Hayleia and me), but in the meantime, enjoy this (not quite so) new screenie of my sidebar graphics and score system:

Looking nice, but IMO the animations are a bit slow >.>
