sorry for double post, but here's some kind of update:

This proves that it is possible to run on nspire. The red block moving uses the technique jim proposed, which does work. The only problem right now is that when you press only once, so when you want to mova 2 pixels only, then you still move like 10 pixels because of the way i implemented it. But i'll look into that when i have time. This is just some kind of test stuff, so it does not mean i started the project

edit: i saw the framerate is kinda messed up. It doesn't tun as fast as in the video, it runs about the same speed as the real game

Pretty rotation

Are you suppose to get through those black dots?

This game really is impossible

I was considering porting reuben quest, but since I barely know anything about basic, I had no idea where to start

* epic7 decides to port Eat Nethams: The Game

Thanks, well you shouldn't be able to touch them, but that's work for in a month

there will be a boundary around the dots, so you'll have to go with the rotation of it, the cube goes at exactly the same speed as the dots, so you should be able to get through nicely

Looking nice! But you can't die yet

How do you do the moevements of the circles? Do you program a path for each or how?

Nick · « **Reply #49 on:** January 01, 2013, 04:46:25 pm »

I know you can't die, it was just a speedtest

No, I just made a class that has several variables: nr of dots in one 'arm', distance between two dots in one 'arm', distance between center and first dot, and the angle. Then I increase the angle every 0.05s (50ms) with 0.01 radians (iirc) and paint the screen. I have a list with 8 objects, and run through that list to increase angle and to paint, that way they all move together.

But how will you do the irregular movement that is in later levels then?

Nick · « **Reply #51 on:** January 01, 2013, 04:58:27 pm »

I'll make a different class for those. The circular movement is quite present in all the levels, so it's worth to make an own class for it. For the other -custom- movements, i'll use a table with values I guess, like {30,1,10,2,10,3,30,4} with the odd values being the number of pixels to move and the even values being the direction (e.g. 1=up, 2=left etc)

Edit: better take {{30,1},{10,2},{10,3},{30,4}}

oh, ok, that makes sence

Nick · « **Reply #53 on:** January 11, 2013, 03:09:25 am »

I tried a little bit of everything, and it still is hard to get everything working well. Since the movements in this game are sometimes minimal, I'd have to go with 2 forms of control: arrows for continuous movement, and the numpad for pixel movement. If there's any other solution, please let me know, but I lost my nspiration.

I did a little research, and I thought of a Tribalwars-ish game. This is a game in which you start a village, and have to build it to the max level. You have a farm for food (which limits the population), a town hall, black smith, baracks, stalls etc. It's not action based, so it should be possible in Lua.

Do you mean like Farmville but with a town besides it? Or more like SimCity where sometimes there can be disasters such as earthquakes or flood?

Also I like the video at the top of the page

Nick · « **Reply #56 on:** January 14, 2013, 04:55:52 pm »

euh, not with disasters (although that could be an option of course). Well, it's very strict. You can only build buildings one one specific place, and upgrade them with specific properties, nothing random.

Andno, not like farmville

the farm is just a building that limits the popuulation depending on the level of the building, nothing needs to be watered or planted.

And thanks, that was a test for World's hardest game. It could be possible, but the controls are hard to use since the key-repeat of the arrowkeys of the nspire are horrible. It takes about a second for a long press get the keyrepeat pulses, and they only come at a frequency of about 5Hz i guess, so it's terrible to work with. In that game, it's very important to have 100% control of the block, since it really comes down to pixel movement at times, and then you can't have to wait for half a second before it moves...

I just got a good idea - port the anno series to the calculator

Even thought idk how it should work with speed O.o

Are you talking about a Puzzle Craft-like game? I love Puzzle Craft and would be overjoyed to see it ported to nspire

somehow yes. I never played it though, I only looked at the pictures. You build a city and have to get an army. Since the villages around you also create armies to attack you and the other villages, you have to be prepared for anything. You are able to gain a new city by destroying its army and sending a king to it, then it's yours. That way you can become the strongest man in the world

seeing the images it is kinda Age of Empires style, is it? It surely won't be possible the way it looks in the images, because that's just too heavy i think. But it's a bit the same style.
