Yeah reading Hex is a pain x.x And rotation would be so crazy with not only the rotational graphics, but the crazy physics you would need O.O I think its awesome enough :)
true, since it involves rotation, I am pretty much out for this. Someone should probably make such game, though.

I got an idea, though, for a game similar to SuperSonic Ball: a top-down view version of it. It would make physics easier to code than with jumping and be much more fun I think. I could maybe do some sort of racing game

Idea!

You could do this with your background tile map to make it blindingly fast:
Do all of this when the engine is loading the game.
Draw the background tile at four spots, (0,0), (0,7), (7,0), and (7,7).
Use this code next:
For(A,0,7)
For(B,0,7)
{B*12+L6+1}->{A*8+B+L5}
End
Vertical -
Horizontal +
End
This puts the 8 tiles in L5.  Now, in the main engine run this code:
.A is the Var 0-7 controlling the offset of the scrolling.
For(B,0,11)
Pt-On(B*8,0,A*8+L5)
End
Copy(L3,L3+96,672)
This should scroll it quicker.

I just realized that this method may not work, as you scroll in other directions, but if you only scroll to the bottom left, this should work. :)
If you need to modify this, do it at the beginning, by changing the direction it scrolls and where it checks at. :)

Wow.  I can't believe I didn't see this before.  This looks great, DJ. Way to go!

Sorry Ztrumpet, by the looks of it I doubt it would work. You would need my source to know why. Thanks, though.

Ah, ok.  I figured it may help, but it looks like it would be a headache to implement.  Good luck on it! :)

I know I didn't update much, lately, but...

I had some different ideas if I do Super Sonic Ball 2. It would be top-down view instead of platform view. Platform view with jumping and stuff is all cool, but I feel it makes the game a bit harder to control and it won't give me as much freedom. I would like to maybe attempt  a top down view Supersonic Ball style game, where you move in all 4 directions and avoid bouncing too hard on walls.

Of course the first game remains Side scrolling. I am not sure about the title of the second game, though. It would use real tilemaps, though.

Is there a reason why this topic is now called "ques"?

It's like what happened when Spybot45 used to get screwed up- except for real in the actual forum...



The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

Yeah that was to mess around with Alberthrocks and Netham45 to make them think the bot got messed up again ;D

I thought about renaming the game to ques once, but I think ques would fit more for a RPG :P

Hm, is it possible to have a blank title, or a title of just spaces? I think that's the new error :D

And good luck with the Game!

It's a bit dormant due to the contest, but I had thoughts about working on it again lately. I just don't want to spend too much time on it only to find out I'll be too tired next weekend to start judging contest entries.

Fair enough.
