Thanks so much!

I actually had spent some time studying the lua image string format by loading in a 2x2 pattern as well as a mirrored copy of the image and I found what parts of it
I needed to move around, my problem was the implementation of it. I was trying to split the image string into table values, separated by each "\". Then I was going
to move around the table values and concatenate the table for the final mirrored image. However since forward slashes act as some kind of weird special character
in lua, it overall just didn't work. I guess I was over complicating it.


Thanks again, now I can continue to make progress on my project!


For your help, here's a teaser of my project which so far is turning out really awesome if I do say so myself! 

I'm not so sure about mirroring images within the Lua code itself, but if you have the original image (.gif, .png etc) you could mirror it and convert it to image code.

I'm hoping that I won't have to do that. I have quite a few images because they are for animations, and duplicating every one of those images to have a mirrored version of it would almost double the current file size. I know it has to be possible to do it locally since nspaint can modify and output image code, I'm just not quite sure how.

In the past few days, we at LD Studios have been working hard on a lua port of Slime Volleyball.
Although the game is far from done, we decided it's time to release version 0.1
So far the game includes a 1 player with AI, local competitive 2 player mode, and lots of other great features!

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.

Looks nice, but I wonder if it would be possible to make the text smaller so that more can fit in the screen?

This would be an easy fix and I'm sure it would make it look cooler, I'll definitely implement this.

You might be able to pull something up from a Github repo such as this, if you aren't insistent on having only Lua sources.

Yeah I don't really care what language the code is. I actually prefer it to not be lua because it definitely looks a bit too simplistic to be real hacking software. Thanks for the link, that looks more like the kind of thing I should use; I'll try to add that in.

Using a monospace raster font would also help. (Yeah, I know all fonts on the Nspire are raster, but I'm talking about the kind you see when you use the terminal on a computer.)

Monospace font doesn't exist out of the box on TI-Nspire.
You have to hack the output, either displaying char by char, or displaying tiles by tiles with a custom font made of images.

I'm worried that having every character as an image would cause CRAZY amounts of lag when typing. What would be a good way to go about doing this? I don't have any experience with custom fonts, the extent of my knowledge for lua fonts is the vanilla "serif" and "sansserif"

On another note : How could we lok like a  hacker without fullscreen and with Lua code displayed ?

Fullscreen is another thing I do not have experience with. How would I implement it? It certainly would make it look better.
(and yeah I can understand that the lua code looks kind of dumb and irrelevant, but it will be replaced soon. After all, a hacker wouldn't care all that much about drawing rectangles and such)

Looks very good. I will try this in the Student software later 

Just note that it's not really optimized for the student software so those glitchy lines will appear (I fixed the horizontal ones but vertical ones are still there) and the title screen will be pulsing very quickly.

On another note, I am thinking about changing the graphics, as I'm aware that plain squares look quite boring, though it still has to be very basic (no sprites, as I have to be able to set the color). I'll probably make the terrain have rounded corners to look more natural, and for the character I'll have a set collection of character shapes, one of which will be randomly chosen each time. And per request by the main branch of LD, grass will also be added in the next update to spice up the landscape.

I was testing cloned objects today and got it to work with ferns, so now a random number of ferns can spawn instead of just one. From here, I should be able to apply the same technique to the terrain so more interesting landscapes can form. Later I might add more kinds of plant life too, but it's kind of a pain since in order to get ferns to be the same color as the ground I have it saved as a long set of polygon coordinates. Here's some screens of the ferns (and I edited out the lines this time ):

nFinity is a randomly generated sidescrolling exploration game. The goal for this game was to have as much of it randomized as possible.

Demo of the title screen-of course, pulsing random colors

The most visible right now is the randomized color scheme. The combination of background color, terrain color, and character color are different every time you generate a level. I have calculated there to be 4,558,916,353,692,300,000,000 possible color combinations.

Additionally, the terrain is varied. This feature is in a very early stage. Currently, only small hills and plateaus can spawn, as well as a single fern. Now that I have learned how to clone objects/classes, this feature will be greatly expanded in the future. Much larger mountains will be able to spawn, and more and diverse plant life will also appear. I even experimented with making the player be a randomized shape, but after some "intersting" results I figured it would be best to keep a simple square for the player shape.

In it's current state, this is more of a demo. You can move around and jump in the environment, and generate a new level at the push of a button, but it's not much of a "game" quite yet. I am thinking of the gameplay being based around you exploring the environment collecting random objects, but I'm interested to hear suggestions from the community.
Here are a few more screenshots demonstrating the randomized visuals

Hello Omnimaga,
I am a somewhat new associate/member of LD Studios (creator of the critically acclaimed Jumping Squares), and have decided to make my own separate account. I have been working with the rest of LD Studios on Jumping Squares 2, as well as my own projects including my latest randomly generated endeavor entitled "nFinity" - more details on that coming later! So for my profile picture, I took my normal user photo that I use on other sites and put a little LD twist on it. I hope to provide fun and creative games to the community in the future!
