Legend Of Zelda Progress Thread

[ACagliano]

Opened the Zelda files for the first time in a while today. Brushed up on the style of programming and am ready to proceed. However, I am not an AI programmer, and without the assistance of one (which I do not have) this project will not be finished.

What language is this in?

[ACagliano]

Axe.

[Silver Shadow]

OK, I'm interested in helping.

[ACagliano]

Wonderful. You may be pleased to know that the AI in the game is supposed to be simple. There are only 2 enemy types. Regular and boss. No fire, ice, ect. And they only need head toward your character or protect items.

[Silver Shadow]

What do you mean by "protect items"? And do they have ranged attacks?

[ACagliano]

What is that? The entire game is based off of tiles. Enemies, items, and environment are all tiles. When you step on a tile, an event runs, to either drain health (lava/enemy), pick up an item, or to not move (solid blocks).

[Silver Shadow]

I'm not sure that it's such a good idea for enemies... tiles are better for the environment. Enemies should be apart, so that they can have more movements, etc.

EDIT: How about we speak on (Omnom)IRC? Should be easier than to wait for posts.

[ACagliano]

Well, that was the issue, other than placing them directly onto the map, I did not know how to place them. It seemed the easiest. What is a better way?

By the way is that still being worked on?

Update

The first update in a long time!!

I did a complete overhaul of the game structure. First off, the game will be in z80, not Axe. Second, the map structure is different now. Instead of one large world map, I will split it into several areas for ease of coding. I also went from four dungeons to all dungeons...that's 7. There will be three item-giving miniquests. Finally, the enemy system is overhauled. I have enemy types now and they will have magic-based weaknesses, as they should. The enemy positions are written as tiles onto the map, but when a screen loads, the enemy positions get loaded into an array and handled from there. There may be other changes as well, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

Haha, those screenshots. By the way, it's Kokiri, not Kiroki (unless you did that on purpose?)
