I am proud (not really

) to announce what will (most likely) be my contest entry for the 3rd round

For those who own it on their iPhone/iPod/iPad, you can skip the description.

For the others, Mister Oops!! is a game in which you control Mr Oops, and for some reason, you are trapped on a checkerboard with objects trying to kill you. This is like The Game: you can't win. The aim is only to make score. When you die in a level, you pass to the next and there is only 3 levels in the free version (I don't own any Apple device and I can't convince my friends to pay for the non-free version

).

But I added the Kamikaze mode (name can be changed) in which objects are "randomly generated".

And for your viewing pleasure:

← Classic mode

← Kamikaze mode

(note: I didn't make this topic before my game looked like a game but it is far from finished)
(note 2: the grey is not that beautiful on a real calc

but the game runs a bit faster)

The graphics look very nice, and the gameplay too

It look kinda hard, though...

The black lasers could maybe look better, I think that you should make them look like electric arcs.

Good luck for the contest!

Wow, amazing o.o When I first saw it, I was worried that it was like my game idea, but it is nothing the same

This will be tough!

Thanks

I tried to make it look like the original game to show people how the iPhone is useless if a 84+ can run the same games

Nope, it is just me, sucking at my own game

Yes, they are ugly. In the real game, they are not black but white inside and orange outside, but, first, the calculator doesn't support the orange color

and secondly, my program would be too slow if I make it support white objects: I would have to reload the back buffer each time (see, the rolling stones are transparent, not white).
And electric arcs would be awesome but even slower and harder to code

But thanks for the suggestion

And yeah, this was one of the reasons for making a topic, so that people don't have the same ideas

Or you could make them 6 pixels wide instead of 8...
(I'm not sure this will be better, and anyway they are not that ugly)

I just tried this on my calc and it is far better like that !
Thanks a lot

(and yes, they were that ugly

)

edit: This even adds an unexpected effect that the 8 pixels used to hide: see the thing "gliding" on the laser

Edit (Netham45): Removed broken attachment, please reupload it.

edit (Hayleia): Done

Wow, that looks really great (and you're so far along already)

Nice job!

But this is also a problem that I am so far: this is my first greyscale program (I made the checkerboard between the 1st and the 2nd round (but not more)) and I only know how to use interrupts now. So making greyscale look better would be hard without rewriting a lot of it $:-\$

Wow, now they look awesome! And the gliding thing make them even better...
You're welcome

Looks nice

but unfortunately I can't see the last attachment (404)

Deep Toaster · « **Reply #10 on:** April 24, 2012, 05:41:14 pm »

Yeah, I think all attachements and download files are currently broken because of the move.

Wow. That is just the kind of actiony, fun, and challenging game we need for calculators. (Looks really, really fun!!!)

Also, that font looks familiar....

Yeong · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2012, 10:56:33 pm »

one suggestion. IIRC, the original Mr.Oops has a cannon ball that has a slightly different speed. Maybe you can implement that as well?

Yeah, I use the BLOCK font you posted in the zStart topic

I only changed the cursors.

Well this is the fault of Axe's rand routine if you didn't see this

Watch one of the two first screenshots for a "long" time and you'll see that I already do that (they can have 2 speeds).
