I haven't tried doing a piggy yet, but here's a sheep:

Thanks
But what are sheeps meant to do ? I mean chickens give eggs but what does the sheep give ?


Also, I'll go for the transparent chickens, sorry for the one who voted white but:
-The game is a lot less slow
-I save 300 bytes in the code
-I save 8 bytes per chicken in the savegame
-Chickens are drawn wherever they are on the screen whereas they were only drawn when not on the edge when white

Tell us when it updates :p ps: saving, that was [del]+[clr]?
and if you do new, wat are the numbers you can adjust?

The sheep can give you wool :O

Also here's a cow or something. The cow gives you leather and steak when killed.

Hey, wool and leather could be useful if I add some clothes system
But I don't want to kill cows

Tell us when it updates :p

Now

saving, that was [del]+[clr]?

Forget about this. Now press Clear to quit with saving and press Del to quit and delete the savegame.

and if you do new, wat are the numbers you can adjust?

I didn't understand the question

This update is basically for you to test what transparent chickens look like on calc. You have 3 chickens, appearing right above you when you start a new game. I included a savegame if you are too lazy to build a barrier to enclose your chickens
You can see that they are not ugly at all on sand but a bit ugly on grass. Yet, it is not unbearable


Note for Leafy, Runer112 and all of the others who wanted white chickens: I tried it with saving the back buffer in an appvar. First, it didn't work (but I can make it work if I work harder on it) but most of all, it was slow as hell, and unbearable without Full speed mode.
What I may do (if I can make it work) is using conditionnal comments to make a 83+BE version with transparent chickens and a Full speed mode version with white chickens

If you press new game, you get 1/4 black screen and 1/4 grass with the sprite, then there's a number which you can adjust with arrowkeys, what are those numbers for? And can't you do when you press new you can play instanly instead of first having to go back to menu and press load?

Ah, I get what you mean. When you press new, you are led to the greyscale calibration screen. You have 4 choices and usually, one of them is better than the other ones. Look better at the screen and you'll se that some choices show ugly grey while others show beautiful grey

And can't you do when you press new you can play instanly instead of first having to go back to menu and press load?

Yes, I can do that. I can even make the menu beautiful with images and all.
But I first want the game to work "perfectly" before adding things that are only for comfort

*random idea: jumping on blocks?

Nope, it is only 2D

UPDATE
Ok, I haven't done any big thing. But that menu is so awesome that you will spend all your time there, so I don't even need to make real progress

That's amazing

* hellninjas downloads

Hehe, I can see the download count still at 0

And may I ask what you are planning for in the future?

Well I need to organise my data in a logic way.
Then, I can start making real things without having problems. Like you will be able to pick up berrys on those bushes (you already can but when you pick up berries, you don't earn any berry for now).

Wow, this is really coming along quite nicely! I love the menu idea - excellent execution!

Yeah, I feel that since the original was cancelled, go for it! Just call it TinyCraft
