Damn you Ashbad, I actually believed it!

(Nice rickroll, though.  Caught me off-guard)

Michael, your code isn't showing up...

Yeah it isn't :S

Bizarre.  Here it is:

Code: [Select]
.SCROLL

[003C7E7E7E7E3C00]->Pic1
[FF818181818181FF]->Pic2

10->X->Y

Repeat getKey(15)
    ClrDraw
    Pt-On(35,35,Pic1)
    Pt-On(X,Y,Pic2)
    DispGraph

    If getKey(1)
        Y-1->Y
    End
    If getKey(2)
        X+1->X
    End
    If getKey(3)
        X-1->X
    End
    If getKey(4)
        Y+1->Y
    End
End

Disclaimer: This hasn't been tested, so you might have to fiddle with it slightly to get it to work the way you want.
I assumed that you wanted the black ball to move, and not leave behind a trail.

The Axe Parser Project / Re: Your Projects - Post and Critique
« on: January 14, 2011, 06:03:43 pm »
I think it's very nice (especially the sprite design) but it started to become somewhat dull after a while.  May I recommend gradually increasing the difficulty, by either creating more enemies after some time, or perhaps by changing the type of enemy bullet?  Also, once you add support for scores, maybe you should try adding an on-screen counter of how many enemies you've killed.

Also, I'm wasn't sure how to go pass the title screen/you've lost the game screen.  It would have been nice if pressing [2ND] would have let me move on.

4] Is there a way to use Calcnet without having to require/bundle DoorsCS 7.1 with each program?
No.
Ah, well, pretty much what I expected.

you dont have to have cn, using a simple 2.5mm jack cable with get( and send( is enough
Okay,
8] Do the send( and get( commands send/recieve data for an extended period of time, or for only a brief millisecond?
9] Is it feasible to send about 100 bytes of data using get( and send(?

Axe / How do I use calcnet for Axe?
« on: January 14, 2011, 02:35:39 pm »
Insofar as I can tell, using calcnet seems to be fairly simple - a certain amount of RAM is allocated for data, and there are about 4 commands I can use to send/recieve data.  However, I have no idea on the specifics, and the nature of the sending-of-data.
So out of curiosity...

1] Which area of RAM can I store data to?  (I think it's L1?)
2] How do I instruct my calculator to send/recieve data?
3] When sending data, how exactly does it work?  Does it take the contents of my buffer and update every other buffer to match mine, or what?
4] Is there a way to use Calcnet without having to require/bundle DoorsCS 7.1 with each program?
5] Could somebody provide a simple example of an Axe program using Calcnet?
6] How do I simulate linking two calculators in wabbitemu?
7] How is Calcnet spelled?  Is it 'calcnet', or 'CalcNet', or 'Calcnet', etc...

Starred means that they have reviews, magnifying glass is a file with no reviews.

White is a normal file, red has screenshots, blue has animated screenshots, and green is featured programs.

Edit: Ninja'd

If you go into the archives at ticalc, the info is actually there (in small print) below the header.

I voted for quadrants - as long as the transitions aren't too disruptive, then the option that increases speed and makes the map bigger is the one I want.

I've been trying to make a scrolling engine but I'm not having much luck :S



Code: [Select]
.SCROLL
ClrDraw
[003C7E7E7E7E3C00]->Pic1
[FF818181818181FF]->Pic2
Pt-On(40,40,Pic2
Repeat getKey(15)
Pt-On(X,Y,Pic1
If getKey(1)
Y+1->Y
Vertical -
End
If getKey(2)
X-1->X
Horizontal +
End
If getKey(3)
X+1->X
Horizontal -
End
If getKey(4)
Y-1->Y
Vertical +
End
DispGraph
End

That is my code and what is happening, attached is the source code.

My problem is that the scrolling is not working like, for example, in a RPG, and I want it for each time the ball moves 1 pxl, that little square moves one pxl too in a controlled way, isntead of what is happening (everything is crazy)

I think the problem is that each time you use vertical or horizontal, you also increment the position of the black ball, effectively doubling the distance that you move?  Try using either horizontal/vertical, or incrementing X and Y.  Using both might cause problems.

Assuming you want to continue using horizontal and vertical, and assuming you don't want the black trail, try this:

Oh, it was because it was pretty hard to detect if the facepalm was directed at yourself or happybobjr. In the first case it might be fine, although in your case it was not clear because Facepalm is all that your post contained, so it's subject to misinterpretation from other people, who might think it's directed at Happybobjr (and see it as out of line)
Huh.  I didn't even know that you could direct facepalm at others.  Well, lesson learned -- one-liners are subject to misinterpretation.

or if you know the angle the tank is shooting at, use sin(angle) as your y increment and cos(angle) as your x increment.

Wouldn't that get you a fraction?
Or does it round well?
sin and cos return -127 through 128 (or something like that)
Edit: *In axe

*Facepalm


No, not on Omnimaga.
I am not allowed to express disgust at my own stupidity on Omnimaga?  Oh.

@SirCmpwn and Quigbo: Those are awesome solutions!  I never would have thought of them.

Or perhaps the coders at TI don't have the time/don't have support from higher-ups to work on fixing bugs?
