Hurray! Progress! I can't wait.

I am glad to see this is still alive. I was getting a bit worried -.-

Glad to hear it

OK:
Coding is slow when you have to clean up first, and you can only code in relatively short intervals, but at least I managed to get something done.

I've coded (not debugged) the base for the inventory/items system. I'll synthesize the inventory display next, and then go into debugging. I'll keep ya posted.

aaah cool to hear ^^

I hope this won't die. I would like to see CalcRogue finally come out on z80. I am certain a lot of people would like, too, since CalcRogue was pretty popular on 68K calcs

Maybe I could just brush up on my C, and then cross-compile calcRogue to the Z80

j/k (sdcc is bad)

Lol

I cannot judge SDCC, though. Some people claimed it wasn't that bad, other told me it might not be bad and be a good alternative to z88dk (which is apparently the worst) but other people said it wasn't too great either. It seems like anything involving C on the 83+ is bad. The reason why it's not the case with Axe Parser is apparently because it's a brand-new language made specifically with the z80 processor in mind. C is apparently just not suitable for z80 platforms.

No, it's not that, basically, sdcc was underdeveloped. An sich, C isn't bad, but with bad compilers and no standard libraries, it's a bit of a PITA.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #98 on:** June 25, 2010, 05:36:01 pm »

AAah ok. I heard that it would be very hard (if not impossible) to make a C compiler that produced z80 code as good as a language designed for the platform like Axe, though, because apparently the z80 is just too limited for such language compared to 68k processors.

It depends on what you write in it

Also, you can't expect it to do stuff like fork() and spawn(), but those are system calls and do not inherently belong to the C language.

I had this idea yesterday evening: I wrote a sound program, so now I can add sound to rogue. (I know, my priorities are messed up, but I thought it'd be nice).

It is compatible with Pyoro sound because I ripped the frequency constants out of Quigibo's source code. (the actual routine is my own, but it functions similarly to quigibo's, with less features because I don't need them)

* mapar007 runs

PS: I made it play back the Song of Storms from tloz

oooh nice

I can't wait to hear the sound in your game ^^

Builderboy · « **Reply #101 on:** June 26, 2010, 01:59:12 pm »

Song of Storms ftw ^^ glad to see that your back into your groov and progressing nicely

mapar007 · « **Reply #102 on:** June 28, 2010, 03:09:43 pm »

Inventory code implemented and WORKING! Huzzah! You can now pick up items, and view the inventory. Your screenshot should be arriving shortly*.

Read: as soon as I think of recording one and putting it on my flash drive.

EDIT: Damn, I'd have sworn that I made another post about the sound yesterday, but it magically disappeared. (or I forgot to click 'post', pick either :p)

So, anyway, to spare my flash chip I'll implement the sound at the end. Wabbitemu is being stubborn, so I can't emulate the sound for now. Hence, once everything is done, I might do some background music, but I don't want to go through the trouble just yet. (transferring these apps back and forth is probably no good for the lifetime of my flash chip, and I don't care whether the 100000 writes/byte is an urban legend

)

nice to see progress ^^

and sorry to hear about the post

. I sometimes forget to hit post and this happens

GAAAHH... I was playing Angband today (my personal favorite among the roguelike games), and I got my lvl 44 High-elf mage killed. I ran into Maeglin at level 70 in some greater vault. Now, Maeglin is a level 81 Unique that can bore through walls, hence why I couldn't just get rid of him by teleporting/gravity warping him away... Fight was going on nicely, until he 'summoned Special Opponents' (read: other uniques). Ungoliant or Feagwath (don't remember) cast an earthquake, and I was dead...

High-elf mages take loads of training, and this was the second-farthest I ever got. (I managed to finish the game exactly once before, also with a HIE mage). Meh.
