Here is the engine that is currently released (v1.06), the version I am working on now has animated water, switches, keys/doors and eventually an enemy with AI:
Pxl-Change(int(D),int(A
While 1
Pxl-Test(int(D)+1,int(A->G
Pxl-Test(int(D)-1,int(A->I
Pxl-Test(int(D),1+int(A->J
Pxl-Test(int(D),int(A)-1->L
Pxl-Test(int(D),int(A->M
getkey->K
If J+L and not(G
Then
If ans
2->H
(B>-1 and B<0)-(B>0 and B<1->B
End
.95Hnot(K=34 or G->H
If Gnot(I)(K=25
2->H
int(A->C
int(D->F
max(-54125+1,min(1,B+(.5+not(m))((K=26 and not(J))-(K=24 and not(L->B
Ans+A->A
D-G+1-H+Inot(G->D
.95B-BG/4->B
Pxl-Change(iPart(D),iPart(A
Pxl-Change(F,C
End
Just draw a level as a screen set variables D and A to the coordinates you would like (also H B and D to zero) and try it out.
The levels are going to be stored to archived lists (you'll see...) and display of the entire screen currently takes only a few seconds.

Have fun!

. I like that it's physics-based. I like any excuse to indirectly incorperate mathematics and science into my programs (with "indirectly" meaning not making a physics equation solver or something like that, but using physics to determine the some important factor in a game).

. I'm very optimistic about it turning on.On a side note (assuming I can recover what was in archive when my calc will turn on) this will be in a demo (Anything with a + is done):
+Animated water.
+Stuff that blows up and kills you.
+Basic engine.
+Rising ground and falling roof.
-Switches.
-10 levels.
-Menu's.
-Information on how to create your own levels, this is the first Pure Basic game (that I know of) that will not only allow the user to make there own levels, but allow them to make as many as they want without hardcoding (no knoledge of TI-Basic necicary)).
Expect my first release some time this week by the way as I will demonstrate the first EVER case of grayscale (very limited grayscale...) in pure basic.

There is a list which stores all data involved in locating levels which acts as an index. The level sets (as many as the designer made) have names up to 10 characters long which are contained in the index list. The first 4 characters in the name and a number (starting from 0 and getting progressivly larger) represent each individual level in the level sets. These values are stored to a list by the creator of these levels with a corosponding name (the four characters and one number). The levels are read with a number based scriptish thing stored to a list (I've made it as easy to understand and use as possible). Now... the creator of the levels creates a group containing all of the levels and a installer. The installer does something very simple. It adds a the names of the levels to Str1 and stores pi to L1(1) and the ammount of levels to L1(2) (making sure to use SetUpEditor) and then runs the game, inside the game if the ans variable is pi it immediatly jumps to the installation which is adding information to the index list. The list is then called with expr([string generated using index]).
While this seems like it may cause a tremendous ammount of crashes I've thought this through and decided it will not. A player is not likely to delete individual lists which is the only cause for problems, especially when you consider that I will be setupeditor-ing the index list.

Anyway, the demo if released this week would have very little play time (a few minutes...), it would be more of a demonstration of what is to come. This game will run extremely slowly on 83+'s and I'm sorry to those who use them but this game is almost unplayable for them.
Anyone know of a good list compression and decompression teqnique by the way? The max ammount of characters in a list value is as follows: -XX.XXXXX and individual level parts take up alot currently. If necicary I can get the formentioned -XX.XXXXX to XX.XX but it would be harder to make levels and would require some recoding.

Next release: Level with mines and teleportation things.
After that Level with Switches.
After that on-calc Level Editor.
YAY PLANS!
By the way I put all the subroutines into one program so it will take longer to edit...

The only thing that bugs me is what bugged me with space station pheta, and that is the fact that if you lose, you have to start over from the whole beginning from the level set. It would be nice if there was some sort of system to allow you to repeat a level if you die.
Edit: I found a problem on Level 3 (of the demo set, of course) that might have to do with the engine for all the levels, but i'm not sure. It seems that if you run into the left wall (not jump), you cause an error domain.
Also, as a suggestion, you could have the lava/acid/deadly material that is at the bottom rise kinda like you had the ceiling drop on the last level of the set included in the demo.

Hint: You can jump on the wall on the left.
Post by: Floodkiller on December 15, 2006, 10:27:00 am
1. You can accidentally transport yourself into the square platforms, but I can't duplicate this successfully, it is completely random.
2. The ceiling on screen 6 can either just suck you in if you wait and it lowers onto you, or if you run up one of the pillars too much, it will glitch you inside.
3. You can land on one of the 1 pixel platforms in a weird way that causes you to swap back and forth between both sides, and you can move up and down this way and jump off whenever you like. Keep this bug if you can, though, since it is kind of like swinging around a pole.
Also, I would suggest a reset stage button (at cost of life of course) if you get stuck.

I have gone through the code and optimized, I have finished lava/falling roof so they kill you if you touch them and completely debuged what I know i buggy. Unfortunatly though it seems the engine has been pushed as far is it will go speedwise which means likely there will be no more advanced features such as mines. I may be able to add a simple switch system since nobody would complain if this ran slowly. I'm going to add a storyline that explains why your a pixle.

The second level is not built into the game but rather is "installed" in a seperate program (no editing of the code required). I will be uploading a pre-release for bug checks here and noplace else. Then I will release elsewhere including any levels made by people who want to include them.
Checklist of things to be done:
-Finish external level menu's.
-Add options menu.
-Create level compressor/decompressor (I have absolutely no idea how the heck I'll pull this off, but currently a detailed level can take up around 3k bytes and that's simply too much).
-Pre-release for bug testing.
-Create documentation for level creation.
-Hopefully gather some levels (by some I mean one or two (can't expect more considering I won't make more)).
-Release.
-Move on to my second ever game.
-Cheers

I finished, and I like it. I don't have much criticism to give this time, the speed and size are alright, but the replayability is low (I know its only the demo, but have you considered the possibility of randomly generated levels?)

.2. The level crafter for me was very finicky (is that how you spell it?), so I think I'll wait for a finished version of it (delete key please). Also, it overwrote lines alot when entering objects, so that was kinda sad as well when I spent over 10 minutes on a screen, only to have one thing screw up and the entire level going bad. finally, pillars are screwy when moving them up and down past their creation origin, and when i tested a level, it didn't overwrite any misprinted info.
3. Maybe a victory screen at the end of a level so that you know you beat it instead of falling in acid/lava/water at the end :D
.Also also, I run a TI-84+SE and the movement was ok with me, but could be faster.
