BBC Basic Tetris
« on: June 11, 2009, 05:43:42 pm »
Its the first game for the BBC Basic series!  And its fast enough to compete with assembly!  Look at all its majesty!



:D  its pending in TiCalc as i speak!
EDIT: Its done!  That was fast:  http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/419/41980.html

It supports pausing, a nice scoring system, and the speed increases as your score increases!

Congrats on the first BBC Basic game!  It looks quite good, and I'm sure it was a lot of work.  Does it have any features or options?  Or is it just a simple game?  Also I'll try it when my calc finishes backing up, so I suppose i will soon see.  ;)

No menu, and no highscore until i can figure out how to edit appvars.  But you progress through different 'levels' as the game gats faster and faster.  if you manage to survive the fastest level (impossible) you get rewarded beyond your wildest imagination! ;)

my only gripe with it tho is that i mostly am into rpg making, and making a rpg with this would prbly require me to split it into 30 password-protected chapters

Yeah, BBC Basic programs have an unnaturaly small maximum file size

And TiCalc processed the game! (fast too)
I added a link to it in the first post.

Yeah with Allynfolksjr and Travis as ticalc staff (I do know Allynfolksjr was friggin fast when he did Calcg.org archiving. I am unsure if he's the most active of the two ticalc archiver, though, at the moment) it helps a lot. before they got hired it took 2 months sometimes for files to be processed x.x

We have never hit 1378 files in the pending queue again at that time, though, like in 2002

I processed that file. :) I think it's notable, so I pointed it out to some other staff members. However, I think they're extremely busy, as I haven't seen much of them lately.

How are you drawing the pieces? Would it be possible for you to post your code for us to see, I've played around with BCC basic a little but I haven't finished any of my projects for it yet. Oh and also bbc Basic may have a smaller file size limit but the programs are also more space efficient than TI-Basic ones. Specking of which someone should make an editor for the programs so you don't have to keep using L.# statements to see what you have so far.
