Its in PindurTI so it run at 9-95% of the regular TI-83+ speed, I got an hard time to test because at this speed its nearly unplayable (I am not a DDR god yet ya know ;)
) and since the LCD refresh in PindurTI is slow it was hard to tell if the arrow was matching or not :P
, basically it looks better on calc. If it stay fast enough and if none bad stuff happens I will probably finish it, but on the SE I might have to create different levels because its insanely fast :crazy:
and before you ask: no there will be no sound in this DDR, but I plan to make it good enough to be enjoyable even without sound :)

on that note I am not posting this on EPS because it's kinda dead and the comments were kinda bad so I deleted the topic and I am afraid of seeing other bad comments from some other staff that I'll not name so..., I'll post here in the free discussion section and at revsoft :)
, maybe at Calchaven as wellEDIT: new screenie: now it loops and I can change the speed/lenght :)

. It would be unfair to make ppl play levels at 8-9 fps O_O
EDIT: I think the core engine should be done for now. I made a crappy (still randomized) level with the bg images, its hard to see and ugly but its just to show the possibility. Next I'll work on the level editor I think :)
Here is the screenshot:

EDIT: k now in the level editor when u hold down the up or down arrow for a while instead of scrolling to the next step it scrolls 3, and after an even long while it scrolls 10, pretty useful fro scrolling very very long step patterns
everything seems functional so far, but you shall look at this:

DDR MADNESS!!!!! O_O

blazing fast on the 84+SE too (I played it... I got a 45 combo!)

OH! and if you have like 10 extra sprites and space... make a 16x8 guy dancing in the corner, so if you press left, he does the corresponding move... you only need 5 "modes" up, down, left, right, and none :D

anyway that would be fun to see a DDR game with campaign mode, where there is a storyline and you have to perform various dances successfully and collect badges like in pokemon, once you collected all of them you can go in the final level, perform the final dance and finish the game. The only problem is that like my old RPGs it would take a lot of memory but maybe it would be an original idea and this would be easy to do since I practically finished the engine :)
Post by: CDI on September 21, 2005, 09:08:00 am
although Kevin's still pwnz!!! (maybe I'll go from 8 arrows on screen (8 element list) to like 6 on screen... that'll make it go faster still (even though it's almost un-beatable on a 84+SE))

I found out that if you hold an arrow then press somethings (including other arrows (you can even do 4 at once!)) you get a different key number... although NONE of them make ANY sense :(

whole engine complete, title screen, 83+ speed emulation on SE, etc. I dunno if its too easy or too hard though thats why I am releasing this version. Key detection is done before the arrow matches but in the final version I plan to implement an option that will allow you to check if the arrow match when the arrow arrives on the top arrow, or before, dependin of your preference. I was also thinking about adding some difficulty levels, in hard mode you'll win more points but you will fail almost instantly if you miss one step. There will be a menu with options for that :)
Also I need to do more levels but since I might change the level format I should wait (thats why I didnt released the level ediotr yet). Enjoy :)
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 06, 2005, 03:49:00 am
anyway I implemented SE only songs, so you can make faster songs that are not compatiblke with the 83+ or slower songs that are compatible with all models. Also I recently worked again on the title screen:

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 06, 2005, 02:48:00 pm Unfortunately its not the same thing everywhere all the time...as for ASM libs I think there is Flib for 68k, its a nice lib that allow sprites and tilemaps if I remember Post by: dysfunction on October 07, 2005, 04:12:00 am Post by: CDI on October 07, 2005, 09:15:00 am Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 11, 2005, 03:39:00 am Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 14, 2005, 07:42:00 am Post by: Spellshaper on October 14, 2005, 08:13:00 am

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 16, 2005, 12:13:00 pm thanks guy for the support btw :) . Your comments and suggestions is really what kept this project alive and now I am tempted to add new stuff in it :D@spellshaper yeah the game is quite big actually, due to the fact most stuf fis graphics and level data but in the future I could try to find out a levle compression script to allow ppl to have more levels on their calcs @CDI yeah I still think this could be a good idea. however I think once FFR is finished you should also upload it to ticalc.org, not only to calcgames.org. Otherwise this program will be useless because lot of ppl who visit ticalc doesnt even know what is calcgames.org or vice versa so they'll heard about FFR in my readme and bother me with "where can I find FFR" questions via emails. Also it would be dumb to make a levle conversion tool for a program that isnt even in ticalc.org archives @ranman I used PindurTI emulator but I did printscreen so it screenshoted the game to PTI size (2x normal size) and I just took out the pics. I thouhg it would look more realistic like that :) PTI is a 82,83,83+ emu btw :)

Post by: tifreak on October 18, 2005, 07:07:00 am Wish I could get something featured like that... Post by: Spellshaper on October 18, 2005, 07:47:00 am Post by: CDI on October 19, 2005, 10:08:00 am I just noticed that some guy put up a DDR recreation (i believe his call sign is Xero Xcape), and in his game discription, you could TOTALLY tell that he was bashing Kevin for using asm libraries in his basic game, saying that it isnt really basic. Well, contrary to popular belief, an ASM library is still within the paramiters to defining a BASIC game. If it was an asm prog just for that ONE AND SINGLE GAME,and no other game ever could use it, then no, it would be a hybrid. But listen closly: this xlib is a library that furthurs the capibilities of a calc. Think of it as a patch, that you can turn off and on when ever you want. You can think of the normal things you use every day as a libray that is built into the calc, like 'if-then', cos, sin, ln, e, and everything else, really. They are essentionally 'librarys' that cant be tamperd with. So anyone who thinks of Kevin as a devil for this 'abomination', think otherwise. This is pure basic. My response Heya! wazzap? you wanna know something, I am a VERY good friend with Kevin, hell he even thinks FFR is sweet, he's even making an XXR<->FFR song converter! as for bashing, nope. PURE BASIC (as agreed by a whole lotta people on #tcpa) is using no ASM libs and only what the calc provides, even tho Kevin's uses xLIB is isn't PURE... but it is thousands of times better than mine, I couldn't even compare really... but as I said, we chat, and are on some of the best terms with each other (if it wasn't for my scedule I'd still be staff at Omnimaga) so think hard and long about what you said... I only bash those that bash BASIC... and I belive if anyone here could do what Kevin does with BASIC they should be given godlike status... -CDI_ Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 20, 2005, 03:23:00 am actually you wanted to mention the features of your game over XXR thats all. :) I dont think the game would have been accepted if there was bashing in it anyway (stuff like "Forget about XXR, it sucks, FFR owns because its pure BASIC and wont use any crappy ASM libs")
