Grappler: Hook Champ for Calculator

This game's kinda like Hook Champ where a guy grapples to a block above him and swings around through the level until a giant demon thingy catches up and eats him.

Old screenies

Early version of tilemap and enemy:

If you've never heard of Hook Champ, this is what it looks like.

I would probably figure out acceleration first, but Zedd takes care of that for you. I've played Hook Champ, and when I saw the title before opening the thread I was like "Hook Champ port?"

If you want to draw the rope from the character, change where you draw your character or where the rope is linked to.

Epic7, now I hate you. I was gonna port this ! :@

(Just kidding

Try drawing the line twice as far away when you are doing multiple jumps, it looks like the character is catching up to where you draw it too fast

Names:
Grappling Guy- sounds close to gravity guy
Hook man- ... Not really
Hook champ Ti- meh
Grappler!- idk
These mediocre ideas are all I can think of at the time

For line drawing, on the key press, the ropes top coordinates go up at a 45° angle until they hit something. It should work, but I'll try having it go out more on the consecutive jumps

Taser?

I think Zedd would be an excellent choice for this game

As it would give you access to the rope physics library, which I think would make this awesome

Right now, I'm going to make that simple program where objects move to the center of the screen. But I keep getting undefined errors.

Builderboy · « **Reply #8 on:** November 25, 2011, 04:06:14 pm »

Did you read all of the documentation? There are a number of constants you have to define yourself, or else it will throw an error.

epic7 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 25, 2011, 04:12:09 pm »

I've solved a bunch of errors already. Do you have to do addZ to add every object that will be affected?

Builderboy · « **Reply #10 on:** November 25, 2011, 04:13:29 pm »

yes you do, that is the only way to add objects into the Zedd world (besides adding them through manual byte manip

)

did you already solved the line problem (that it stick after the man instead of before it)? otherwise i have a solution here

alpha is 45° (we can choose it, 45 would be good), and beta is 45° too because the third angle is 90°.
tan(alpha) = (x2-x1)/y with tan(45°)=1 ==> y=x2-x1 ==> x2 = y+x1

so the grabpoint (x,y) has to be the height of the guy (measured form the top) + the x point of the guy right now

The ceiling might be varied and have blanks in it. That's why I used pxltest. Would what you have work for that?

And for zedd, I'll go read more of the manual before asking more questions

Builderboy · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2011, 04:23:43 pm »

You might want to cast a ray in order to determine where to atatch the hook, that way you will guarantee you will be able to attach to a roof that is varied

Nick · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2011, 04:26:37 pm »

hmm, then it will get harder, even impossible with that formula, as you have 2 unknown variables.. then you could use a for loop and increase x and decrease y so you describe a straight line going 45 degrees to the upper corner), untill the pxltest gives true, those x and y you can store in 2 new variables and use them
