Block Eater 2
« on: February 25, 2012, 03:22:39 pm »
The Block Eater series is one I started 5 years ago and I have applied it to many calc lanuages, including BASIC, xLIB, Celtic 3, Omnicalc, BatLib, ReCode, and Grammer. Once again, I am making it in Grammer, but this time I want to add more features and game modes.
Anyway, I have been talking about this on IRC, so I will release this outline in case I don't have the drive to finish this. It features grayscale, sound, score and timekeeping, and this is during gameplay, maintaining its speed at 6MHz. I tried to make sure Wabbit capture it as close to possible as it looks on an actual calc :)

What I want to add/change:
Traditionally, the game is played based on a time limit and you have to eat a set number of blocks in that time with obstacles making some blocks difficult to reach. This time, I want to set a time limit and you have to get a certain amount of blocks, but you keep playing until time runs out. The more blocks you get, the higher your score. You will need a certain score to move on to harder modes and there will be modes with enemies moving at random and modes where they chase you intelligently. I want to add a highscore system to make things more interesting :)

Another note, you will want the latest version of Grammer.

This looks nice, though a bit like Pacman. Looking from the screenshot, I like the idea

EDIT: Ok something went horribly wrong. I downloaded Grammer from the link in your sig then ran the app and selected Block Eater 2. This is what happened:
I was running OS2.41 on WabbitEmu.

I label the version in a weird way :/ It is the date, so 2.24.02.12 is Grammer 2 compiled on 24 February 2012 x.x I should have switched that so it was 2.12.02.24 as that might make more sense D:

Yeah, probably YY.MM.DD makes more sense, as the day keeps changing dramatically. Usually the first numbers in version numbers are more significant.

Um, I can't control the block eater. I can make him rotate, but he doesn't move.
sorry for DP

O.o I made sure and it worked well for me. I even downloaded from all the links I provided .___. Might I ask the calc model you are using?

OS v2.41 on WabbitEmu. I may delete everything and try again.
W8 I have Grammer Version v2.22.02.12. Do I need 2.24.02.12?
