Can't wait till this is released.

well, I want a least 20 hours of gameplay...so once I finish coding I will make LDKs and pass them out to a few people and see how many levels I can fit in.  For the sake of massively speeding up the games, I inflated the maps by adding a list to each of them that lists all of the switchable items.

Wow! 20 hours! Thats awesome. I hope you'll be able to get that many :)

with whats in here, there should be enough complexity to alow for some CRAZY puzzles...I just wonder how hard it would be to make a LDK with built in level player...

I am intrested in how much memory using basic builder would give me because it takes a little over 3600 bytes to run (not including (what will be) temporary map opening and the saving) including matrix,pic,and other data as well as the programs themselves.

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 15, 2006, 12:47:00 pm

if I remember it needs the ram it normally takes as basic programs, plus the archive memory required for the app itself

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: katmaster on April 15, 2006, 05:36:00 pm

Wow, this looks great!!! Yet another awesome game for my lovely 83+ :D

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: crzyrbl on April 17, 2006, 06:32:00 pm

if you want to use basic builder, everything but the levels HAS to fit in ram AND you have to have room for the largest possible level.  also, the levels have to be in archive and accessed through a prgm like xLib....unless the game and the levels all fit in RAM...

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: necro on April 18, 2006, 11:29:00 am

thats retarded...oh well, by any chance might this change in the forsee-able future?  If not...well, Im not going to bother with it.

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: necro on April 30, 2006, 04:50:00 pm

If I release this program as is with out any levels, will people want to make some for it?  This engine is now DONE, but I would like to know it will become a game.

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: elfprince13 on April 30, 2006, 05:51:00 pm

you may want to make some levels first.

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: crzyrbl on April 30, 2006, 06:06:00 pm

is the map editor finished?

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: necro on May 02, 2006, 08:20:00 am

problem is, making a level takes TIME.  If some one wants to take over level desing...well, contact me.

I haven't kept up with the project that much.  What are the rules to this puzzle game?

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: necro on May 02, 2006, 04:06:00 pm

you make basicaly a complicated maze.  Get from point A to point B to go to the next level.  I thought "Necro's Puzzle" sounded nicer than "Necro's Complicated Strategy Maze"...but any ways.  I have a basic map edito that I will add a few more tools to.  Right now it alows you to work on a level, press a button to test the level, and press a level to let you go back to what you were working on.  I have been thinking about ways to improve some of the interfaces, and may have some soon.  A filled rectangle of a tile w/ decimal is planned, and an easier teleport destination system will likely be added very soon, as well as possibly switching tile selecting to a graphical tile set layout and alow stacking to appear graphicaly on that screen.

Computer editor is coming VERY slowly as it is hard to program in a langauge you have limmited experience with.  I realy need to find more time to work on learning it better.

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: crzyrbl on May 02, 2006, 04:15:00 pm

you could express the game through a number of graphic layers.  each layer a decimal place back

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 03, 2006, 02:40:00 am

i think he use decimals for some stuff

Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: necro on May 03, 2006, 10:09:00 am I don't feel bad about it.  It just is very diffrent and as such I am having to figure out stuff as I go.  Also, decimals are used for a number of things. Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 14, 2006, 03:51:00 am how is it progressing so far? Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: kalan_vod on May 14, 2006, 11:51:00 am Has anyone submited any levels yet? Or any you made to finish/upload to try? Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 15, 2006, 04:46:00 am I didnt, I messed with the lv editor a bit tho Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: kalan_vod on May 15, 2006, 08:17:00 am Yeah, I would just hate to see something like this wasted >.< Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: necro on May 16, 2006, 05:30:00 pm I have two levels, one easy and one not so hard (to me at least).  Its nice and safe and secure and backed up for right now, but I am not working on this atm.  Thats mostly because I got 8 days of school still...and I am busy until I am done with my helish servitude where the wounds of  blistered palms burned by brackish saline of sweat and tears of self loathing...aka, essays and a narative. Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: Liazon on May 17, 2006, 03:27:00 pm O_O lucky, i have many many days left of school :( Title: Necro's Puzzle Game Post by: necro on May 17, 2006, 04:52:00 pm you don't have an unstarted 10 page narrative that is your only grade in a session with 7 days left to work on it...do you?
