Falldown
« on: September 24, 2010, 06:24:23 pm »
Hello,
I know that there are several Axe-based Falldown games out there, but I've always thought they were a bit slow.  So I made my own.  It runs just as fast as the original, and I'll post it as soon as I'm able to get it off my calc.

Wait a moment.  There was an original?
I thought it was one of those games that just spawned out of nowhere...

There was indeed an original Falldown for the 83+ back in 1999 or 2000 I think



Calc84maniac made one that looks similar in Axe back in March. It's in the Your projects: post and critique thread. I think it was slightly slower, though. Builderboy made one as well but it was much slower.

So you mean it runs as fast as pure Asm versions of Falldown?

Edit: Ninja'd.  (Don't know the emote for this one)

I like how I ended up using exactly the same tile sprites in my version...

Also, DJ, do you keep videos of every calculator game in existence, or do you just have epic searching skills?

Well they're pretty standard in terms of Falldown games, so it's kinda expected they'll be re-used. As you can notice, Calc84maniac used them too :P.

As for the video, I made that video so I knew what keywords to search for. If you check my Youtube account, I got many calc videos too:

Didn't Cooliojazz or someone make one too? Like you could change the tiles or the ball or something like that, or am I crazy?

Oh yea I remember now. It looked cool, although it seemed a bit slow in terms of scrolling.

Maybe this?

I think it starts to scroll faster the longer you play.
It wasn't very good.
