Deep, if you could give me some indications on how to do that (timer thing), I'd be pleased, as I know you've done that before in Z80 Tables for example.

I may have originally missed this post but Sometimes I even code differently based on how a disassembler would see my code. But that's just a weird thing I do.

That's not so common indeed. Don't forget though this is an online disassembler, and it was made for quick stuff, not disassembling OSs and Apps.

.DRAW MAP USING TILEMAPPING CODE HERE
StorePic

Repeat getKey(15)

RecallPic
DispGraph^^r
End

Something like that? The problem is the grayscale, and Builderboy told me how to do it (use an Appvar to get 768 extra bytes), but I'm thinking that's too complicated, so I'll have to think about it.

We haven't touched any code at all yet. My teach promised that we'd get to use dreamweaver, said we won't learn any javascript and we'll mess with flash, of all things, for a bit.

Yesterday, I got to make a blog! What fun! [/sarcasm]

"get to use dreamweaver", too bad I don't see the advantage of it. I once tried Adobe Dreamweaver and it was a piece of crap. It's expensive, heavy, CPU Consuming, and all it does is nothing more than a notepad

I started a project for the Axe Progamming Contest but I soon quit it because of tilemapping, because I didnt't find a way of not having to redraw all the screen all the time, which made my game run quite slow.

Here's the full code (without tilemapping, I use graphing commands to design the map):

Basically, enemies are whatever is gray on the screen, so if the player touches something gray, the game stops.

There are two things I need help with:

• Implementing tilemapping to draw levels in a way that doesn't make the game too slow
• Make it so that the user doesn't go through walls when jumping

Here's a screenshot of the second:



I made this code a few weeks ago, so I don't exactly remember how everything works, but from what I understand, I'm never checking if there's anything above the player, am I?

I know my help request sounds a bit vague, but it's hard to make it more specific.

heh I made the reminders for the other two parts, but I'm a bit away now, so thanks DJ!

Good luck to everybody and make sure you finish it on time!

The results (by the users) are out. Levak dominated, nice job Levak!
