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

Quote from: Scout on May 08, 2011, 08:46:01 am
Can you shoot up and down?
No.

For the record, the grappling hook shoots in eight directions, as it's controlled with the number pad.

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

Whenever I see quotes like this, I kind of feel sad that new generations growing with Axe don't know much about the BASIC programming and the speed it can achieve if programmed correctly :(


Back on topic tho

Another freaking awesome game ztrumpet!! Is there some kind of puzzle involved in this game, or will it be more towards fighting the bosses?

I also noticed killing one of the enemies was really hard, so how many bullets would we have to hit on bosses, 50? :P

I don't know, but if you notice, the enemy's HP is in the bottom corner. :)
Note that the enemies so far are just for testing. ;)

Nah, just one per room, as just one enemy slows it down a lot, but the bosses will be pretty foreboding... hopefully. ;)

THis looks nice Z, nice use of the dual layer ASCII trick. IS the screenshot running at 6 MHz by the way? Because it seems the character movement is a bit slow, although it might be the screenshot running slower for some reasons. Map loading is incredibly fast.

It also reminds me of Metroid style.

I hope you finish this, Elmgon and the others.

Nope, that's the speed it runs at. ;)  It's a little slow, but I think it's justified when an enemy is going around the screen, along with a bullet.  So, yeah, it's already at 15 mhz.

I will. :)  The problem with Elmgon is it's so large that I need a "clean" calc to work on it. :-\

Midnight could be for speed sake.
As for Elmgon, I like to have no "extra" files on my calc when I'm working on it due to it's huge nature.  It'll like end a bit larger than an 83+'s mem though. :-\

Metroid Pi style:
They have lists and follow along those for movement.

I have some more progress to announce.  I got my grappling hook system to work!



Screenie info:
Note that my Wabbit settings are a little strange; it flickers much less on the actual calc.
Use the Num Pad to shoot the grappling hook.
It'll stop if it hits a wall, a room exit, an enemy, or even a bullet.
This can be used to trap enemies.
Note that I don't have the engine in the main menu code, so there's no way for it to launch the main menu. ;)
Not shown: If you go out of the room and you are caring a block, it goes back to the room it came from, as rooms are Zelda-esq and reset upon leaving them.
(Edit) Oh, and I forgot to mention that it pauses because I hit a wrong key in Wabbit (it's a debugging thing I have in there).

Let me know what you think, oh, and this system only took about 800 bytes of code.  Don't you love Basic's size? ;D
