Title: Request for Screenshots for Correlation Manual
Post by: Hot_Dog on February 22, 2011, 12:13:13 am
Hello fellow lobsters,

I'm putting the final details in the new, finalized Correlation manual, and I need some screenshots of games (not made with Correlation) you produced if you can.  Asm, Axe, Ti-Basic, you name it.  These screenshots must be single images, not .gif animations.  Thanks in advance, and know that you will be credited in the screenshot credits section.  Just put up your screenshot, please, don't try to claim the rights to be the one to put up a "particular" screenshot from the list

What I need:

* A screenshot of a game, with the Run Indicator turned ON
* Two screenshots of games where text stops displaying once it reaches the edge of the screen (for instance, Builderboy's "Serenity")
* Two screenshots of games that use text, text that wraps to the next line when the end of a line is reached
* Three screenshots with tilemaps
* One screenshot that displays text on the homescreen, plain text with readable words
* A screenshot of a game that uses Text( to display readable words, where not all characters are the same size
* A screenshot that clearly demonstrates XOR sprites
* A screenshot that clearly demonstrates AND sprites
* A screenshot that clearly demonstrates OR sprites
* A screenshot with a decent building that I can attach a clock (like a clock tower) to

I *might* be able to get a screenie of the variable size font. Good thing I just revamped Nostalgia's font engine.

Text( with readable words please.
I would like to actually help in this project and not be the annoying monkey, hopping around without a banana.

Oh, guys, just put them up.  You don't need to claim them or anything

EDIT:  By the way, Raylin, I have a deal for you.  I'll let you test the "homescreen-only game" option in Correlation if you are willing to make a fresh one rather than convert an older game.

All right, Hot_Dog, you've got a deal.

Hello fellow lobsters
O.O

Anyway can't wait to see screenshots. Unfortunately i don,t have much motivation to learn new apps/languages so I doubt I could help much. X.x

Actually, I'm asking for screenshot of already-made games.  But if worst comes to worst I'll use screenshots from the games that will be made during the testing period

So does your deal with Raylin boot me or are him and I both testing homescreen now?

You're still testing homescreen.  But from what I remember you're converting a previously made game, so Raylin's doing more of creating a fresh game

Oh ok, you mean Correlation games? ??? (That might be hard since it might take a bit to make them X.x)

I think he means converting already made games to use correlation :)

NO, NO, NO! ;D ;D

I'm asking for screenshots of games that have been made, games that do not use Correlation in any way.  They can be pure Ti-Basic, Axe, pure ASM, Celtic III, etc.  The screenshots requested do not involve Correlation in any way.  Example games that could be used for screenshots: Pokemon Red, Ash: Pheonix, Portal X, etc.

Ah ok, that's what I figured, I was just checking :) And ya, I'm just converting...unless I can't find the game in which case I'll just recreate it haha.

Oh I see. So I guess I could post some from my games. ;D

They would be tilemap screenshots, but I am unsure if they fit your needs, since the first two are grayscale and the second one uses an outdated sprite utility that was incredibly slow.

I'm really confused... why would correlation need screenshots from games that don't use it?

The manual shows users example of what certain concepts are, such as what masked sprites are and what the run indicator is.

EDIT: DJ, thanks a lot, those screenshots are great

A quick one.

I don't know, I think it would only fit into tilemapping though.

Sometimes a screenshot can fit into a number of categories.

One more thing, this looks like a Portal X screenshot.  If you get a screenshot from someone else's game, please let me know.

Actually, this is from my own game, Graviter. I just borrowed a ton of sprites from BuilderBoy.

here are a few from my old and never finished pokemon project.
tilemapping, masked sprites, and variable-length text, i think?

Correlation still has support for multiple size fonts like 5x5, right? Leafiness screenshot might be a good example of what Correlation could do.

Yes indeed, although I've eliminated font sizes less than 2 pixels high or wide

I see. I guess not many people would want such small fonts anyway. X.x

Yeah, the thing is, if one wants to dispay pixel art using a 1x1 font, it's so slow you might as well use Pic Variables or Pt-On

Assuming that no more screenshots come in, I'll take the rest from the beta testing.  Thanks for everyone's contributions!

Here's one. It's a mock-up, but the menu looks exactly like it, and was working at one point in time, so...
You don't have to use it, though.

I always liked these menu borders FinaleTI. I also hope that game gets finished. :D
