Rush Hour
« on: January 12, 2012, 07:52:28 pm »
Well, as a more long term project and for the Board Game Member Guild  :P, I think I'm going to work on Rush hour, based on the board game by ThinkFun.

For wikipedia entry, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Hour_%28board_game%29.

Right now I have a problem with tables. The levels are stored as tables with the positions of the cars and stuff. Basically, is there any equivalence of the python statement table2 = table1[:]? Basically, that copies the entire table1 to table2, but they no longer have the same reference. Is there any Lua idiom for that?

Oh, and I need some more levels. I plan on having at least 50 levels, so any level contributions are welcome! I could also port the 40 original levels, but I don't own the original version.

And a primitive screenie
Spoiler For Spoiler:

Edit: Oh yeah, the colors work fine enough on grayscale, I'll probably change to sprites later on.

EDIT: Final version is out! Find it here.
Updated Screenie

Nice :)
Are you planning on using TI-Images?
If you are, I can help you with the images (as I already had a part for my clone..).

Edit:
for the table copying, you can check out BetterLuaApi from Adriweb.
It contains some table copy functions :)

Yeah, I'm going to be changing to TI-Images as sprites. I guess there's no Lua function for that, you just have to manually do it.

@jimbauwens: You wrote a clone of rush hour?  ??? But for the images, any help would be appreciated. Does that mean you're drawing the sprites?

I wanted to make it, but did not start on it because of other projects.
But I did get the images from the official game and resized them to suit the calculator.
I can give these to you :)

Edit:
What do you mean with "I guess there's no Lua function for that, you just have to manually do it."?
There are sprite functions available...

I was referring to the copying of tables, not the sprites.  :P Sorry for misunderstanding.

The sprites would be awesome! I guess you could post them here or PM me. Thanks a lot!  :D

Cool, as another BGMG coder, I think I will attempt this at some point with Grammer. The screenie looks nice, too :)

Thanks Xeda! Isn't the BGMG a bit lonely? It's just you, epic7, and I right? We need some more members.  :D

Anyways, I've been working on a level editor for this, so you can create custom levels. I think you'll also be able to save them later on. Here's a screenie of it.

As of now, there are an entire 6 levels! Haven't ported too much yet...  :P

Just make sure you don't create a level on the editor that isn't possible XD

You can create levels that are impossible... You can have super long vertical blocks that will block the entrance, but I don't think I can stop that, whatever.  :P

I think he means not to create an impossible level that is included XD But yeah, if the user wants to create a custom level that is impossible, let 'em :D

I just wanted to point out that the actual game only ever has blocks with a length of either two or three...
