Yes! Beat Lunatic with both Netham and DevBlock. Congrats on making a game that I have poured 20+ hours of my life into.
See you, space cowboy...

I think it is on hold until E:SoR is completly finished. Geekboy1011 was working on a new level, though, but he has limited Internet access at home and a very old computer so he can barely access Omnimaga.

This project is being restarted.

Reasons:
(1) Major pain in the arse to modify assets
(2) Too many bugs in the script system
(3) Compiles using TASM. 'nuff said.

Yay I'm thinking a new thread might be in order though as If I'm not mistaken a bunch of things might be changing

Hehe. I'll be making a new thread once I actually get code down on the new CaDan. For this edition, I'll be using SPASM to perform the compile job, since I've fallen in love with it after beginning the E:SoR reboot.

It'll be tough to keep this up and still have to deal with two jobs, but I'm sure I'll be able to get something going.

I'M glad to see this restarted. Do you think the grayscale will be improved a bit? I remember you saw some sort of grid while playing.

I don't believe the grayscale problems will be fixed. I want to focus more on the actual gameplay, which I think is a bit more important.

If I can somehow find a way to fix it, though, I'll do just that.

EDIT: Working on the base code. Might have something that won't crash later "tonight" (May 3, 2011)

Double: Update (small)

The app now starts up and I've begun working on the large font renderer. This renderer supports variable-width fonts with a slightly variable spacing between letters, which serve to help make the text look more "natural". Example: The 'o' character can be bumped two additional pixels to the left if the previous character was a 'T', or an 'f' can be bumped one pixel to the left if the preceding character is an 'L'. I try to account for every possible combination, even though such combinations won't ever appear in English. Or any other possible language for that matter.

The font routines do not support international characters. The design kept me from adding those in. Perhaps a later version will that be possibly added in.

After that is done (there are still a few bugs left in it), I'll be able to get some graphics going and make a halfway decent menu system that's similar, if not identical, in appearance and functionality to the previous iteration of CaDan. It won't be the same, since the rendering method is far too different.

Of course, actually *using* a font renderer will make the menus appear a bit slower between screens. I can cut out the time by prebuffering every possible menu before trying to display them. The game engine uses a disproportionate amount of memory as opposed to the menu system, so I figure I could use the extra 6 or so kilobytes for *something*...

What do you think of that idea?
