Prism: The Target Shooting, Mirror Moving Puzzle Game
« on: December 17, 2010, 08:19:41 am »
Here it is; Prism is coming. Development is going well, and I've already planned the engines and scoring. All I have to do is implement them. However, I have already run across a problem: loading the levels.  :banghead:
So, a question for all you Axe programmers:
        How do you load level data that is stored in a GDB pointer?

I'd love to know, and until that works, I'll have to wait.

Moved to Axe parser section, because it is an Axe question, not a project discussion.

Well, it depends on how you are storing your data, really.  Can you give an example map or data?

For instance:
   Level 1 is:
       
Code: [Select]
Data(1,0,0,0,6,0,0,7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,8,0,0,
0,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,3,5,0,0,3)→GDB1
I need to be able to check each tile for a # that determines which of 15 sprites I should display.

Is this a form of tilemapping?
The process would be fairly straightforward: to take the data and decide how to draw which tile you could just do
Code: [Select]
Pt-On(X, Y, {index+GDB1}*8+Pic0)

or something, where your tiles are defined consecutively starting at Pic0.

Is this what you're talking about?

Yeah, pretty much. I saw this mehod of determining tile data in Space Dash, and I thought that that would be perfect for tilemaps in this. Thanks, squidgetx.

This is coming close to being playable. However, I am going on vacation and thus may not be able to post anything. Oh well. I'll have it when I get back on January 3. This is going to be an awesome game!
Bye folks. :)

Here we are. I have the first five levels coded and the gameplay rules partially finished. 8) This is progressing quickly. Wait anxiously for updates.  :D
@DJ: To be totally off-topic, how do you use an animated screenshot as an avatar?

Cool to hear it's progressing. I'm also glad you can still visit right now. As for screenshots you need to upload the avatar on img.removedfromgame.com then link to it in your profile.
