Factory X
« on: February 10, 2010, 04:07:01 pm »
I just finished Factory X.

2nd is to get the number if you are not holding on to it, and if you have number, then 2nd releases it.
The top and the bottom part is the holding section, and pressing alpha will put the holding number to the holding section to be used.
You get $50 for each correctly handled number (releasing the holding number into the right ")"
and you get $5 for each incorrectly handled number and a garbage, which is marked as "X"
You lose either when there's more than 7 numbers to be handled, or there's more than 6 garbage

I don't think there's any bug, but if you find one, please bring it to my attention ;D
Have fun playing!

Awesome!!!  This is great!  I really like it.  I just got >4000 on Survival. ;D
I'd change two things:
1: Make the main menu's speed and difficulty columns change with the left and right keys also.  If you need any help, ask Builderboy or I, or look in the code from Factory or Factory Theta.
2: Make the last line of code Output(1,1," to get rid of the "Done". :)

Excellent!
I've been thinking on how to combine them.  Would it be better to have them all together in a zip, or in one program, as unlockable games?  Regardless, these three games are great!  I really like this one, though. ;D

Excelent!  I havent downloaded it yet because i'm at school, but it looks awesome ^^
The stack idea is very cool and interesting, and very much in the out-of-the-box thinking of the factory series ;D

I think we should have them all combined into a single program, with only one unlocked to begin with.  And then once you get a certain point value you can unlock other modes of play and possible some extra options if we can think of them O.o

Perhapse Survival mode could be an unlockable feature?

YES!!  Great idea!  Oh, and sorry that Factory Theta dosn't fit as well.  I don't mind, but that is a very true fact since there is no little center platform. :)

Pshh don't be silly it fits great :) If you really feel strongly about it i guess you could change the Theta to a } if you wanted, but i like it the way it is :D

I'll leave it, but that's an interesting idea.
*Ztrumpet contemplates things...
Nope, I think it's fine as a theta.  Thanks for starting this chain reaction of games! ;D

Yay! ^^

Now we just need to decide who is going to compile them, and how we are going to format our menu systems and such.  Quick!  Everybody create mockups of your menu idea!

Hmm, if you all use the same menu system then you could add a thing on the top selecting the game, and then have difficulties/speed etc. So it all kind of melds together :D

Thanks guys! And I'm working on the merged Factory!
It won't use subprograms, only 1 main program, and it has unlockable feature included.
Still working on the compatibility issues between each Factory game, changing variables and lists around... Otherwise, going smoothly!
It will be similar to Pyoro's system (Thanks Quigibo for the idea ;D) and I put Original Factory as 1st game where it's unlocked, Factory Theta as 2nd game to be locked first, and Factory X as 3rd game to be locked second and last. I didn't include Survival Mode as unlockable, may be include it later. I put them in this order because of release date, so if you have any objections or suggestions, please feel free to discuss here!
Also, I need to know how much point the user needs to get to unlock the next one.
For right now (As a placeholder and for the testing) all the levels within the factory game needs to be over 1000 (meaning, Easy>=1000, Medium>=1000, Hard>=1000, Expert>=1000, and Survival>=1000) //I just put 1000<=min(seq(L(A),A,6,10

Please, tell me the high scores of each game, because I would need to find the appropriate values for each game/level~ Thanks!

I guess I was in hurry and forgot that  ::) Accomplished.

Sounds great!  I like the way this sounds.  I'm fine with it.  Have fun merging! :D
(I think Factory Theta had 4 or 5 vars that wern't used, out of the 27. ;D)

Okay, finished merging (phew! Many bugs encountered and squashed). Now, I'm deciding on the unlockable scores, and just for now, I set the value as:
To unlock Factory Theta, You must have in Original Factory
1) 5000 in Easy
2) 5000 in Medium
3) 4000 in Hard
4) 4000 in Expert
5) 5000 in Survival

To unlock Factory X, you must have in Factory Theta
1) 5000 in Novice
2) 5000 in Easy
3) 5000 in Medium
4) 4000 in Hard
5) 4000 in Expert
6) 5000 in Survival

I figured that it really gets boring after 5000 especially in Easy/Novice mode, where it is almost impossible to lose :P
And I'm thinking of making achievements, like getting 10000 in Survival for all games, and stuff like that. Any suggestions for Achievements?

And I'll release what I have so far when I get the chance
