That looks nice. I wonder if you could make it so we can choose in which direction it scrolls? Some people might prefer to hold the calc on the other side.

Wait, do you have to change the way you hold it? I thought we were supposed to play with the calculator normally but it is sideways =P

But I guess what you asked for shouldn't be that hard to make, just rotating the sprites (but that may depend on how the game was made, and I am not aware of it).

@ztrumpet Where is it?
@DeepThought H2G2!!!!!!!!!! And, I'm rewriting it and I'll include it

And another thing (yes, I know, lame pun

): Using the up and down arrows to move the character. I think people are used to that too

I included the source, so you can see it.

I'm rewriting the core, so any changes to it won't be useful to me.

Whoa, rewriting the entire game is booooooooooooooooooooring... I'm currently creating the menu, it hadn't got one, so this is an improvement.
How do I flip the whole screen? Maybe copying the buffer in to the backbuffer in reverse order?

was for using a powerup, but it doesn't work anymore, doesn't matter, I didn't like it.

Oh, last thing, won't Mohammed be angry at me bacause, with a menu and more, it starts looking like his one?

Good luck with the rewriting.

Ty

I hope it works after the rewriting...

I'm thinking of storing all the data in an array like this
X-pos (not sideways) 8-bit, thing (power-up, black hole, bar) 8-bit, and 8 bits of data (bar is moving to the left, and such)
If I want to do collision checking, I only need to check 8 fields.

Don't worry about mohammad, everyone can make similar games, although it's generally good to offer something different, like how yours is sideways. As for rewriting, good luck. Just don't fall into the "endless rewrite loop" trap some programmers fell into a few years ago, though. They rewrote their game like 6 times and eventually got bored and killed the project.

Nah, I meant how some people might prefer to have the keypad to the left and the screen to the right and some other people the opposite. For example, Ztrumpet's old PapiJump clone was the opposite side.

Seems interesting. I like the deviation from standard top down games.
i was thinking making the controls farther to the right, so your hand doesn't cramp up against the screen without covering it.
Also, the graphics could use work, but overall it looks great. Maybe you could try using fractional movements (/256) to obtain a smoother movement?

What do you mean with fractional movements? I cant draw sprites on half of a pixel ofc...

And no, I won't rewrite it again, adding functions will be easy after this rewrite.
The rewriting goes faster than I thought. I think it will be ready soon.

Well, since Axe is integers only, you can multiply the coordinates of the character by a set number, say, 10.

Code: [Select]

:P*10->P
:Q*10->Q

and then when you move, it increment the P and Q by one, but when you display the character, divide back by 10, so the character will move by 1 pixel every 10 frames.

Ok, no, because of the way I did it, that won't be possible. I will try something like it, though.
Gravity, menu, and initial generator are working. I'm currently making the in-game generator.

Ok, generator is working (a little bit) but you still can't die...
Suddenly it crashed and ihadtopullabattery.

Todo:
Orientation switch
Be able to die
Fix generator to make the game harder
Smoother graphics
Trace the random crash
Add dissapearing blocks/bars (how should I call those?)
Maybe other keys

Argh, the being able to die bit is hard, without negative numbers.
But... collision checking works really good, and I made a dissappearing block, and one that makes you jump higher.
