Partex 2
« on: October 23, 2011, 03:13:47 am »
So the Grammer coders are probably familiar with Partex (or at least the screenies) by now, but it is turning into some cool stuff, I think. So, this is  why I am posting it here. It is a slow moving project (there won't be 3 updates a day XD ), but it is one that will probably continue for a little bit. Right now, it is like a powder toy. You can do basic pixel drawing and particle dropping, but it is pretty fun!

Right now the controls are:
Arrows are for movement (including diagonal)
[mode] exits
[Clear] freezes all pixels on the screen, permanently
[Alpha] clears all drawing
[2nd] draws a pixel on
[del] draws a pixel off
+/- toggles between particles
[ / ] pauses the particles
[ * ] unpauses the particles

One nice thing is that this program is 314 bytes, so if you have the app version of Grammer, this is really doable! And with the latest app version, you can even keep Partex archived!

Whoah, this looks awesome!  I better go back in time and notify everybody about it :trollface:

What kinds of particles are you planning to support?

:D I saw that topic earlier and decided "I have to post a topic before somebody else!"
And I am not sure what particles will eventually be included. I might need to change the number of bytes each particle uses, too, but that won't destroy backwards compatibility :)

Thanks! And yes, my avatar is made in Grammer code. It was actually made a while before I made a command to turn on pixels in a region to particles.

Okay, this isn't too big of an update, but it uses some commands from the latest version of Grammer. There are two added contols:

[xtƟn] is used to fill a rectangular region of the screen with particles. It will ignore any preexisting pixels in that region, so barriers will still remain
[STAT] is used to convert the pixels in a rectangular region to particles

When you press either of these, you must move the cursor to change the size of the rectangle, then press enter.

EDIT: Also, at this point Partex is up to 462 bytes x.x

I glanced at this topic and thought it said "Portal 2" ... oh well, this also looks great. And I love those "bubbles" that come up when you open the bottom (in that first screenshot).

Thanks! The "bubbles" are there because that is just how the particle routine works :) the "bubble" of a blank pixel gets caught underneath all of those falling pixels and makes it look neat :)

I think I could make a game like that... Hmm, I will have some fun with trying to come up with a game using particles. Also, it is possible to use more than one particle type, you just have to cycle each buffer separately, so I might be able to add a way to use the particles available instead of just toggling them.
