Wow, and what are the sizes of those? I think they look great, and you just about covered everything.

8x8

@SpellShaper: Maybe I'll port to 83+ later when I'm done with everything else. Of course, axcho on UTI could always use these sprites for his own ASM version.

Hi Liazon! Your 89 project is very exciting and ambitious. I suggest you take a look at Jumpman for the Atari 800/C64 for a more simple model of the type of game you want to make. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpman

I voted no on the scrolling because for a game with such dynamic gameplay, the LCD would be too blury.

I wish you all the best in your TI-89 pursuits!

Yeah that looks pretty sweet, but too much like Donkey Kong

Liazon · « **Reply #39 on:** May 01, 2006, 08:04:00 am »

Alex: thanks for the input. Though I do feel that 12 tiles high and 20 tiles wide is kind of small for N-Game. It would be kind of hard to die

I'll have to see though. Lately I've just been brainstorming some math models for the movement, but it seems that every model has a considerable flaw. I'll have to work at it a bit.

Have you talked with Weregoose about the math part? He is very helpful.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #41 on:** May 02, 2006, 02:00:00 am »

I voted no scrolling

Nice game

kalan_vod · « **Reply #42 on:** May 02, 2006, 05:06:00 am »

I third the vote for no scrolling!

saubue · « **Reply #43 on:** May 02, 2006, 07:33:00 am »

I voted yes - I think the game will be more exciting with scrolling. On a 68k with ExtGraph, it shouldn't be a problemm to get a conveniencing frame rate.

Liazon · « **Reply #44 on:** May 02, 2006, 09:41:00 am »

The main reason why I wanted scrolling is so that the levels could be bigger than one screen.

To fix the blurriness problem brought up by Alex, Mathstuf recommended I use another buffer and then copy to the screen. My only concerns are speed. I've been planning to bloat the code a bit to push the speed just so that I can leave room to program the enemies exactly like in the original.

So far, my plans for increasing speed include:
1.) Using low level key input (_rowread and _keytest)
2.) Not using rotation routines and storing a copy of all versions of the sprites.

I don't know what else I could do, but I'll have to think about it a bit. I still find it a pitty I can't figure out a way to create curved tiles that would fit into my current math model (I like math

).

Since N-game 68k and r/p/s (just a code name, read project description), are my first calc projects ever, I'll probably be switich between the two a lot, and just incorporating everything I learn as I go.

Right now the main priority for N-Game is to set up a tiling system that works with the math model. then again, I might be overthinking everything. Bcherry seemed to have little problems creating the tile system in his metroid game.

edit: Thank you very much for your opinions, especially from the expert C programmers like saubue and Alex.
