So here is a screenie of a Jumpman level. Unfortunately if I want to exactly replicate the original Jumpman levels while maintaining the physics of the game, I would need to pan the screen by 30 pixels. I really don't like scrolling the screen with this type of platform arcade game. So, I will create slightly modified versions of the original levels (or completely new levels) compensating for the absence of the 30 vertical pixels.

Here is a slightly modified version of the above level... faithfully redesigned to support the shorter height of the TI-89 screen.

Been working on Jumpman's interaction with the girders, ladders, ropes, and chains as well as the falling, bouncing, and death sequence.

Here is a screenie...



What do y'all think? Still needs a bit of perfecting... but it's getting close.


Edit: tifreak asked about the flickering... I'm being a lazy coder right now. I am clearing and redrawing the screen every frame -- which slows everything down quite a bit. I'll be working on correcting that soon.

Edit #2: In fact... I think i'll go ahead and fix that tonight before I go any further.

I'm always amazed by how fast you work. Looking nice! ^^

Wow I love when the character falls. Nice job!

Btw the flickering seems to happen in almost every 68K screenshots I see on ticalc.org.

Wow, that looks great!  Nice job!

Thanks for all of the responses to Jumpman.

Here is some more eye candy...



Note: This level will eventually have magically appearing girders and ladders upon the collection of specific bombs.
