Midnight
« on: May 07, 2011, 10:10:32 pm »
Midnight:



This is a game I started for the fourth Cage Match (the Swarm).  I hit a snag and stopped working on it for a while, but it's back on track.  I'm not going to provide too many details, as I want it to be a little surprising, but I show some of it in the screenie:



Highlights of the screenie:
Metroid Pi style graphics.
Elmgon style movement, with bullets that move at 1:1 based on the character/enemies.
I'm working on a grappling hook to grab boxes and move them around right now - it's partially shown in the screenie.
There are some other things as well.

I have no idea when it'll be released, as progress is slow with my current schedule.  It'll fit in RAM when done, but it's going to be a little large.  I believe there will be 25 rooms and 4 bosses when finished.

Let me know what you think! ;D

Edit: This is for the 83+/84(SE) series, and programmed in TI Basic. :)

Whoa, I had/have a TI-BASIC named Midnight with a title screen that looks virtually identical. It's just missing the "Zachary Tuller" bit.

Thanks. :)  I hope it's because of the speed...

...which is so good because I had lots of practice with Basic before Axe came out.  I also learned a lot from Builderboy and various other sources.

You should write tutorials on how to write FAST Ti-BASIC.

It was an Illusiat style RPG.

It got a bit farther than this screenshot (such as a working battle engine, etc..), but your version looks even better.

Unfortunately not. It's kind of been taken over by my unannounced Correlation project, which is even better (even the pure BASIC parts ;))

Still, I can't wait to try your program. Exodus was awesome.

the speed? Exodus was somewhat slower than this :P
I was thinking about
1) the platformer gameplay
2) the nice, simple graphics
3) a laser weapon :D

Epic. It's like all that's great about Elmgon, Metroid Pi, and Pokemon Purple in one program.

Pure BASIC can still do amazing things :D

Except on calculators whose model numbers start with N, of course.

That's actually TI-Basic? Oh my O.O

Soo fast and very good, I also like it how you can shoot for both sides, right?

Can you shoot up and down?

Awesome, I still don't get it how you make this things in Basic.
