FYI, Levak just made one too : http://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_voir.php?id=42651


(I've also made one, although its purpose was for it to be pretty much as simple as possible (could be useful to learn?)... contrary to Levak's, which is pretty much the closest to the original game, with animations and all (however, not a lot of people would easily understand its code) )


Anyway, maybe this post should [also] be in the other topic... meh

Hi.

First, pretty cool game

Second : looking at the code, I was amazed. Why ? Because, well, it looks very much like a mix of coding style/habits from Levak, Jim and myself, combined.
At some point, the similarity is rather uncanny, actually, for the wave handling (you and me both)
You : theWave = formations[(wave-1) % (#formations) + 1].wave(theView)Me (in my towerdefense game) : setmetatable( self.theTypes, { __index =   function(tbl, key)  return tbl[(key%(#tbl))+1]  end } )

Anyway, goob job

BTW : some feedback :
- error when launching the first time on TINCS 3.2
- please use relative coordinates everywhere (so that it works on computerview and ipad)
- you may want to take a look at http://inspired-lua.org/index.php/2013/05/a-new-smarter-way-to-create-a-screen-manager

Also, since you seem to be rather advanced at Lua scripting, you may also be intersted in this presentation I gave last month at the T3 conference :

dammit now I have to reply.

You know, event-based programming, in Nspire-Lua, is great.
It is good for designing of software's and applications. It has four main advantages and/or uses: flexibility, suitability for graphical interfaces, ease of development, and simplicity of programming. Event driven programming is one among the few largely flexible programming language types. It allows the programmer to visually design the form to their needs and program the objects on the form with a huge range of events that can do different things when run.
I believe it's a very nice choice from TI to have put their API that way, because, for example, haveing a big while loop for the keypresses wouldn't be very good for big scripts, especially since we only have one big script file.

anyway, for those wanting to port LuaZM, go ahead, it can only be fun

Just a few words about my tiplanet post, DJ, which you seem to have understood in a much worse way than it was intended anyway :

(in addition to the fact that I didn't even know the tiplanet topic was locked when I posted there)

What I've stated is for me just a fact, as what outside people / visitors perceive. What's wrong with that ?
Clearly when you have a lot of links that suddenly don't work, there is a problem.

The point I was making is that I found it to be a bad decision from the admins, even if one only may be the cause of this.
Why ? Because if there was such internal disagreement, as you say, about this topic ID issue, well, maybe this specific change should not have been made at all.
But I won't question/interfere Omni's way of deciding admin stuff, that's up to you guys, you do whatever you want.

BTW Geekboy stated the decision was made as a whole, actually, so I don't know what happened with that.
If you all believe it's better this way, then ok. But we sure don't, because thousands of links are just plain wrong.

And remember that this whole thing here is about making Omnimaga better, you see... Advices coming from the website that links you the most.
If you just don't want to offer what's best to visitors from any website by not finding a proper way to redirect people to get correctly linked to the topics, we can't do anything about it on our side, sorry, it's far too dangerous on phpBB.

And yeah, stop off-topic.

All right then, don't worry about it

Well yeah, that ... ^

Not yet sorry.
We are both quite busy these times
