Wait, that means you can only have up to 5 choices right ?

Also, maybe you can display the title in inversed font, like Basic menus.

Apart from this, well done ! I'm sure many persons were waiting for this to pop out

Les Français vaincront !

I said +300, not 300 Thanks anyway ! Also, about the config file ? Should I save everything in it or just the controls ?

Well technically it is I have no idea of a workaround for this. Except maybe make particles spray from the tip at all times and not only when the player is absorbing the laser. How about that ?

Varargs-like doesn't exist in Axe ? What about all the text commands ?

It's not Axe that corrupts things. It's the OS. And it's because the token hook definitions are misaligned, so the OS interprets then wrong. It tries to replace non-existing tokens with random strings of random size, so of course it doesn't work.

This is usually caused by badly-aligned fields, and thus token hooks. I'm pretty sure I know what's causing it : you need to add to the size word one for every .org $-1 you wrote in your routine. This is because although PC doesn't take care of the special bytes, they still exist in the axiom (and not in the final Axe program) so they must be taken into account when calculating the routine's size.

So yeah. Since it's been 9 months and nobody reached level 5 yet - I've reached it but never beat it - I thought I would write a quickly-hacked-together cheating tool that allows you to start the game at any level you want.

So yeah, it's a 12-lines program, so not really exciting, but it can help you have even more fun (fun ? yeah, fun) with IkarugaX. Maybe.

For those who don't know IkarugaX yet :



It's a danmaku (Japanese for bullet hell) shoot-them-up based on a polarity switching mechanic. Basically, both you and your enemies' bullets can be of either black or white polarity ; the thing is that only bullets of your opposite polarity hurt you, and you absorb the rest to fill your power gauge. When you absorbed at least 8 bullets, you can do a power release and fire as many power fragments as you absorbed packets of 8 bullets. Power fragments are homing lasers that go straight to the nearest enemy. So using your advanced arsenal, you go destroy tens of enemies, dodge and absorb thousands of bullets (I'm not exaggerating) and kick huge bosses' ass. You have 3 lives though, and have no way of getting them back when you lose them. When you get killed (ie lose all your lives) you get back to the beginning of the level you died in thanks to checkpoints (automatically reached when finishing a level).

Ryan (ticalc redactor) tells you his word about it : http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/148/148436.html
If you just want to play, here's a link to the game's ticalc page : http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/457/45712.html

Also, you can tell the cheating tool  to mark the game as beaten. Because yes, something happens when you start a new game after beating it. Yes, all your nightmares were true. I know it's hard. You have to hear it though. You can't run away from the truth anymore. Remember, the countless hours you've spent trying to kill this goddamn impossible boss, to finally complete this fucking level and move to another one, only to find out it was just more impossible ? You remember that ? Good. Because now, your worst nightmares are becoming true. Yes, you were playing on easy mode. And yes, beating the game unlocks hard mode. Run with ION-compatible shells. Have fun.

No, that was a TASM issue. Switching to SpASM fixed it.

EDIT : oops just saw the answer in the other thread. Did you try compiling into AXIOM2 with TASM ?
