A semi-3D tilt-maze type game in Lua
« on: December 31, 2011, 08:54:48 pm »
Loulou 54 has recently released a new TI-Nspire Lua game featuring some form of 3D and great use of physics and the touchpad: LabyRoll'!



The game is inspired from those wooden tilt-maze type puzzles like this, where you must tilt the maze panel to move the ball around while avoiding holes. It is quite challenging, especially on a Touchpad. The game looks pretty impressive due to how tilting the maze causes the walls angle to change in a pseudo-3D fashion. Note that the framerate on-calc is pretty high compared to the screenshot above.

The current version is available here. Good luck!

Thanks for the news and the capture. :)
Happy new year btw ! :D

Note that this version is not finished yet. There is only 5 levels (of 16) and the game crashes in the 6th. (since he doesn't exist ^^)

As I said in the topic, there is an interactive level editor, so if you want to make some level please send them : [email protected] ! ;)

bad colors? i've played it and it's perfect.. (imo)
the only thing you might say is that it can be hard to control with the touchpad, but not that the colors aren't good O.o
sorry, didn't think about the B/W touchpad..i've tried it in the emulator, and indeed, it might be getting weird on B/W xs

so, better use platform.isColorDisplay, and add a kind of table with the colors for B/W and one for colors

also, i always tilt my calc to change direction, instead of using the touch xp

and loulou, really congratz with this being your first game, it looks way better than a first game should look :)

Stick two accelerometers somewhere and you could do that :D

Ever heard of Vernier sensors? :D
You can easily interface them with Lua.

(Although those sensors are a lot of money :D)

yeah, it would be awesome, but i don't thinka nyone who owns an nspire just for normal schoolwork or other stuff (not that scientific), doesn't have those sensors

and i'm not planning to buy some :) but it wouls be great..
