Hello, everyone! For the past couple days I've been bored, so I decided to play around with programming (since I hadn't in a while). Cookie Clicker seemed easy enough to make, so I decided to try to port/clone it (not sure which to call it; a port or a clone?). I tried making it as accurate to the original as I possibly could. It's pretty simple for now. I plan on adding a saving/loading feature to save your data when you exit the program and to load it back up when you re-enter it later. So far I could only get the Cursors through the Time Machines to work properly in the shop. Here is a screenie to show what I've done so far:





(Idea and Sprites are not mine; they were created by Orteil)

MMmh, you should try another font, this one is not tasty enough.
Oh and do you use the RTS? You could support a sort of idling system : starting the game loads the save and the timestamp and gives as CpS * time out of the addin.

Definitively the best-looking Cookie Clicker clone on calcs . Also, that cookie looks tasty

Thanks! It's quite tasty.

I'm just using the default font that is used for the PrintMiniFix routine, but I might try another one later if I can. And yes, I do use the RTC (is that what you mean?). I see what you mean by the idling system and I'll keep that in mind.

Hey look, a Spenceboy ! It's been a while !
Nice looking game indeed.

Also Eiyeron I think you mean RTC right ? I can see a problem with that : people can just go and change their clock and have instant cookies.

I'm sure people could just do that, but if there is a saving feature, I'm sure they could also just change the number of cookies in the save file too if they wanted.


I have a question about RTC. I have it so that it checks if a second has passed and adds the CpS. If I did do the idling thing, how could I tell if it's been 24 hours or 0 hours (does the RTC reset to zero once it becomes midnight)? Is there a separate function for the date as well? I'll have to research this.

An RTC counts seconds since a reference (generally Epoch, January 1st, 1970, 00:00 UTC) so that's fine.

Well, according to cemetech's Prizm wiki:

Header: fxcg/rtc.h
Syscall index:
Function signature: int RTC_GetTicks(void)

Returns the number of ticks elapsed since midnight (resetting every day). The RTC ticks at 128 Hz.

I'll do some more research about getting the date as well.

Being bored is probably the best way to come up with awesome projects.

By the way, if this game automatically overclocks the calc, don't, because I heard from Cemetech that it's very dangerous to overclock that calc apparently.


Other than that, nice progress.

... sorry for the double post in less than 24 hous but...


Update (and first release)!


I got a new font going (it's the one from the original):



And the release is attached.


[SHIFT] - Click the big cookie.
[ALPHA] - Buy a store object.
[UP] - Moves the selection of the store objects up.
[DOWN] - Moves the selection of the store objects down.


Let me know if there are any issues. One issue I know of (and it's not a big issue) is that sometimes, when you buy a cursor, it doesn't add to the CpS. I ignored it one time, and later when I was buying something larger, it added the 0.1 to the CpS. Another is that sometimes it display CpS with a .0 at the end of it when it's a whole number (but that's not really a big deal).


Enjoy!

I'm starting to implement Golden Cookies:


As you can see, it's tinted purple, but that's cause of the routine I'm using (not sure why it's doing that). I'm making it so that they appear above the F buttons, so that you just have to press the one that it's above to click it.
