orly?  Maybe it's me who has some catching up to do :P  even though I'm on all the time, maybe I just missed him today.  :P

and all week :(

Well, my bad.  But yeah, this project looks insanely awesome :D  If I had a 68K calc I would totally play this all the time

Thanks for wondering about me... I'm doing well. Jumpman is progressing at a decent pace considering I'm back to work full time once again.

I have been working on the details at the end of the game.

* Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Jumpman to immediately fall to his death upon respawning
* Freezing the screen and Jumpman for about 4 seconds when you complete a level in order to accumulate bonus points
* Added in the ability to select and change games speeds
* The timing and sequence of events that lead up to high scores
* Counting down the number of remaining Jumpman and converting them to bonus points
* Top 10 high scores (partially complete)
* Top 10 high bonuses (partially complete)

I'll get some new screenies up this weekend -- maybe sooner. :)


Thanks to DJ and the Omnimaga staff for moving Jumpman to the Major Projects section. :)

New Jumpman screenie...



Note: I modified the Hailstones level so that picking up a single bomb ended the level as well as the game.

Here you will hopefully see a more polished game. You will see bonus points racking up for finishing a level early and also for having Jumpmen remaining at the end of the game. You will also see a top 10 high scores for the game score and bonus points.

Enjoy.

Here is a similar Jumpman screenie to the above post...



You will notice that I added the ability to skip through the sequences for racking up bonus points. I added this for the people that may get impatient waiting for the sequence of events to complete -- just press the '2nd' key to zoom through them.

You will also notice a difference in the High Scores screen -- the leading zeroes ('0') are missing.



Question: Which do you like better: with or without the leading zeroes?

Thanks for your help!

Same here; it makes the higher scores stand out more

I like without as well, but really it could go either way. It really looks great Ranman. My 89T is getting anxious.

By leading zeroes do you mean the ones before the score, such as 0090000 instead of 90000? I prefer without them if that's what you mean, although to display the score in game I find it cooler when all of them are displayed, since it makes it look more old-skool. :)

I actually like the leading zeros, but As most people think its better without, I guess my thoughts aren't really in the majority lol.

anyway, I haven't seen this in a while, and its made a lot of progress!  Subforum definitely well deserved.  ;)
