Minigames
« on: October 29, 2010, 06:39:53 pm »
I was extremely bored in chemistry class + I was procrastinating on my other projects + I wanted practice coding =
A random game!

You are the little ship thing, and you have to dodge the blocks.
Press [2ND] to temporarily turn invisible.  Turning invisible drains the bar at the top, so conservation is emphasized.
I added difficulty, so it starts off a bit slow, but eventually grows hectic (and you encounter more obstacles, like bouncing smiley faces).
Press [MODE] to pause and unpause.

Interesting fact: this was originally intended to be a tunnel clone, but it didn't look good and I went a little overboard on the projectiles, so I mutated the game just a little more.

I think I'll try to make a new minigame every week or so, because I think I should really try to practice coding more.

WOW that looks great and fun to play! I'm gonna try it when I get some time. You should put it in the download section, ticalc and stuff. I can't wait what you'll come up with next :)

By the way how do you do the noise effect in the blocks?

Basically, this:
Code: [Select]
.BLAH
[Add hex here to make a border around an 8x8 block]->Pic1
Pxl-Mask(A,B,rand^6000)
Pt-On(A,B,Pic1)
I read from a random section of the calculators RAM, and for some reason, it gives almost a scrolling effect...

Wow, that's wonderful!  Great job! ;D

I did find a little glitch...
Also, once I got to a certain point, enemies no longer came. O.o

Hey - no cheating!
You can't go off-screen!  That's not in the spirit of the game!

...Well, in all serious-ness, it's really more of an oversight, not a glitch.  I'll fix it later.

Wow, it looks really good! And almost 3D if you match the speeds with the blocks' sizes... But then, that wouldn't make much sense. Why would the ship bump into obstacles at totally different depths? :D

Oh wow I forgot about reading from a non-constant memory address or a pointer. I guess it's like my sandstorm effect seen in Nostalgia title screen by FinaleTI, but with 8x8 blocks. Nice effect. :)

My friend made something a lot like this. Except, it has only 1 enemy (a 4x8 block) and you are going vertical.
The weirdest part is that the ship sprites are exactly the same, and he called his game Dodge as well!
Creepy...

* Michael_Lee is honored beyond words that non-developers have found/are playing this game and enjoy it.
* Michael_Lee is also slightly nervous, due to the fact that he never quite reassured himself that the game was completely safe...
