Axe Snake
« on: June 16, 2010, 02:51:24 pm »
Over the past couple of days I've tried to make a 3 level grayscale game in Axe.  It's completely done, except when you get a highscore and need to type your name.  There it freezes.  Can anyone help me with this problem?

(It appears that getKey always returns a 0) :(

Thanks! ;D

note:  The grayscale's a lot better on calc... :D

Hey this looks nice except the screenshot doesn't appear to show any grayscale except to the first 24 or so columns of the screen ??? . Also , sorry to hear about the freezing problem, though :(

It's because I didn't set Wabbit up right and since this isn't the final release it doesn't matter as much to me if it looks how it should. :D

I just wanted to make a snake game, even though I already knew you had a cool one, sir. ;D

Huh.  That looks like it's at 15mhz even though there's no Full command...
Wow, that's fast! :D

At 15 MHz it would look more like this, altough it wouldn't work well on all 15 Mhz calcs (due to the grayscale requiring 6 MHz mode to show up properly on real hardware, according to Quigibo)

i had the same problem with getKey always returning 0 once. try to slow down your program, put like Pause 100 before the getKey and see if it registers. that worked for me.

Does your program use Pause to slow down the game on the slower modes?

When 0.3.0 is released tonight (hopefully), I think the grayscale will look a lot better since I improved both of the routines.  Not only does it look better on real hardware, but also it seems to finally be in sync with wabbit settings.  Much thanks again to calc84maniac.

Will it look equally good in both 6 and 15 MHz mode? Or still just 6 MHz?

IIRC it's still 6MHz mode only.

No, it just runs through the greyscale command in a for loop to make it look better.  :D

Awesome idea!  I think I'll try that! ;D thanks! ^-^
Edit: That didn't work. :(  Do you have any more ideas? :)

i'm sorry i don't, i checked my axe entry's menu and putting a Pause 50 before the getKey->K worked. are you using getKey like this

Code: [Select]
Pause 50
X+(getKey=3)-(getKey=2)->X
or like this:
Code: [Select]
Pause 50
getKey->K
X+(K=3)-(K=2)->X
because the first one didn't work for me, and then i switched to the second and it works.
