EDIT: Does anyone here actually play chess? In a serious way I mean...

EDIT: I think I'll write an anim tool then. I was considering a fighting game, hence the large sprites, and these games are pretty anim intense

Question: which is faster - bitmaps or a 8x8 sprite array of similar size?
I know this question has been asked before but that was before ver 1.1.2 wasn't it?

I'm happy to report that 99.9% of "required" coding is complete. That is to say, if bug testing & balancing were complete, the game would be ready for release.

WHOO
Can't wait for this it sounds great! Good luck with the polishing!

Hi
I really need some help turning this algorithm http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php/Dungeon-Building_Algorithm#The_algorithm into Axe...
I've started by filling a 9*15 grid with 'wall' cell and digging out a room of 'floor' cells, but then I don't know how to scan for space, pick a direction for a corridor or find out which walls are next to a room.

Suggestions?

EDIT: Can someone delete this thread please? I worked it out anyway...

Edit (squidgetx) : Locked and title changed, since the thread and link might help others in the future

I just spent about an hour trawling through loads of project threads and the like here, and I'm starting to find it depressing how many of them die out through lack of time. Another recurring theme appears to be developers disappearing on holidays...
 

Anyway fearing the health of my own project, I appeal to the superior wisdom of you who actually manage to complete your projects to find out just what it takes to see an idea all the way through 

(N.B. I did a search to see if this has been done before but the search was buggy so I'm not sure  )

Actually Super Smash Brothers is srs bsns! When you get people that play at high levels that stuff is pretty ridiculous!

Technically I was referring to dynasty warriors but that's a fair point. Anyone wanting to be pro at the original ssb, there's a decent guide here, along with incomplete guides to brawl and melee: http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Super_Smash_Bros.
