Thanks everyone, and thanks for the news, DJ.  Some new screenshots from the last two days of coding:

Quote
So! We have turn-taking, we have aiming and power-setting, we have parabolic motion (which was a massive, massive pain in the neck), we have collision detection, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff.  Other than debugging, important things still missing are the explosion at collision, health removal, terrain removal, and detection of turn-skipping and game-over conditions.

ohithur, kerm!
when it comes to tiny, Z80-driven machines, this is seriously the greatest thing i have ever witnessed. it makes me happy that one of these hundreds of pokemon clones in the works could feasibly include a GTS XD.
thanks for all your hard work!

Great Kerm! I like the new screenshots :D

I have gotten myself a more decent nickname too q:
Oh yeah, AWESOME Kerm :D as always :3
True, although yours was not against the rules, since we have no swearing rules and it was not really offensive like if someone uses the N word.

Thanks DJ.  Shmibs, I am greatly flattered.

*bump* Lots of late-night coding along with Doctor Who, and I have explosions, a few debugged glitches, and even slightly-buggy terrain destruction! This is also fully-debugged parabolic/projectile motion, which continued to be a pain long after I thought it was working.

I love the new screenshots Kerm. I saw them last night but Cemetech was a bit slow and I had to go to bed, so I only saw the first frame. It really reminds me when I played a similar PC game with Kalan Vod a few years ago. Good ol' memories.

Thanks everyone.

Correct parabolic motion! Explosions! Corrected explosion terrain removal! Tank collision detection! Tank health display! Game-over condition detection! Wooo.

Ah cool, that looks even better. :)

Also speed seems pretty nice. :)

Thanks! Even with the CALCnet 2.2 interrupt (of course) running, it was way too fast, so I'm artificially lagging the parabolic motion to make it more pleasing to the eye.  Same with the explosions.

Wow that's good to hear. I'm really curious to which extent multiplayer will be possible. I'm especially curious about RTSes.

awesome!  if it was played on a realy cal, would the screen scroll with the shot, or do you need all the calcs side by side?

I don't think there is scrolling in this version. I don't remember if he plans to add any later, I'll have to go check Cemetech later today, tomorrow or Wednesday.

Yunhua, each calculator has a copy of the same terrain; this isn't like Netpong, where the screens form one long playing field.

Done since yesterday:
:: Test and debug >2 players
:: Fix a small rendering glitch in parabolic motion
:: Display a ^ when the bullet is above the top of the screen
:: Fully repair collision detection

Still to do:
:: Make the angle/power interface appear at the bottom when it would otherwise cover the aiming tank
:: Display the username of the currently-playing tank, and of the winner.
:: Some multiplayer glitches appear present on game launch
