Not sure if that mode needs to be added, since in most school only one person out of 1000 students usually care about calcs, but we never know, it might actually be used by more people than we think.

Wow!  This is certainty starting to look very amazing!  I am confident my friends in school (who have all resorted to calc gaming during homeroom :P) will want to try this when they see it! :)

Oh my, this is looking great! I especially like the titlescreen's antics with the "n," the UFOs, and the intermediary level transitions are great as well! Keep up the great work! ;D

Are you the one who controls the guy in the main screen?

Thanks for the question. By "main screen" do you mean the titlescreen where "Jumpman" is spelled out one letter at a time? If so, you do not control the Jumpman during the titlescreen... It is all done automagically via a set of scripted moves.

For the title screen, I have two independent lists of moves -- one list for Jumpman and one list for the letters. Each list is an array of the following user defined data type:

typedef struct
{
   uint1 count;
   uint1 direction;
   uint1 action;
} SCRIPTED_MOVE_Type;

Where 'count' is the total number of steps in the specified 'direction. I use the 'action' field for Jumpman jumping and for the switching to the next letter. When the total number of steps reaches the 'count', I move to the next element in the array of moves.

This is kind of a brute force method that utilizes a relatively small amount of RAM. It took a few attempts to get the letter movement's synced up to the Jumpman's movements. T'was a fun task to implement.

For those interested, here is the lists of moves:

Code: [Select]
SCRIPTED_MOVE_Type* scripted_jumpman_move;
SCRIPTED_MOVE_Type  scripted_jumpman_move_list[] =
{
         // go get the "J"
{38, DIR_Right, false},
{74, DIR_Left,  false},

         // go get the "u"
{74, DIR_Right, false},
{64, DIR_Left,  false},

         // go get the "m"
{64, DIR_Right, false},
{54, DIR_Left,  false},

         // go get the "p"
{54, DIR_Right, false},
{44, DIR_Left,  false},

         // go get the "m"
{44, DIR_Right, false},
{34, DIR_Left,  false},

         // go get the "a"
{34, DIR_Right, false},
{24, DIR_Left,  false},

         // go get the "n"
{24, DIR_Right, false},
{14, DIR_Left,  false},
{14, DIR_None,  false},
{14, DIR_Up,    true},
{14, DIR_Right, false},
{14, DIR_Left,  false},
{14, DIR_None,  false},
{14, DIR_Up,    true},
{14, DIR_Right, false},
{39, DIR_Left,  false},
{39, DIR_Right, false},
{14, DIR_Left,  true},
{25, DIR_Left,  false},
{99, DIR_None,  false},
{14, DIR_Up,    true},
{0,0,0},
};

SCRIPTED_MOVE_Type* scripted_letter_move;
SCRIPTED_MOVE_Type  scripted_letter_move_list[] =
{
// "J"
{38, DIR_None,  false},
{72, DIR_Left,  false},
{17, DIR_Down,  false},
{ 1, DIR_None,  true},

// "u"
{58, DIR_None,  false},
{62, DIR_Left,  false},
{17, DIR_Down,  false},
{ 1, DIR_None,  true},

// "m"
{48, DIR_None,  false},
{52, DIR_Left,  false},
{17, DIR_Down,  false},

{ 1, DIR_None,  true},

// "a"
{18, DIR_None,  false},
{22, DIR_Left,  false},
{17, DIR_Down,  false},
{ 1, DIR_None,  true},

// "n"
{ 8, DIR_None,  false},
{14, DIR_Left,  false},
{14, DIR_Right, false},
{28, DIR_None,  false},
{14, DIR_Left,  false},
{14, DIR_Right, false},
{28, DIR_None,  false},
{49, DIR_Left,  false},
{37, DIR_Right, false},

{0,0,0},
};

Is this close to done? Or do you still have some "special" things to add?

To tell the truth I haven't seen Ranman for a few days.  Maybe something's going on IRL for him, hope not (because usually if something's going on it's bad)

Too bad I don't have a 68K calc... I really would love to help test this and eventually play the 1.0.

Maybe once that 68K emu for Nspire becomes complete-ish, I'll buy to test on that ;D

Well, it says he was last active only 4 hours ago :P

Anyway, good luck with this project and all that; it looks great so far...
