Bomber Dude - Page 1

I already made a topic about it on the TICT, but I keep loosing my password. Still, I wan't to get feedback from the international community so here there I am:
I made some changes about bomber dude. They include implementing a 'teacher key', a round system, a much better interface, more tiles, memory optimisations (such as generating some sprites at the program launch), more bonuses, etc...
One funny thing happened: I removed 700 bytes worth of data, but the overall size of the ppg was reduced by 5 bytes !

The major changes are visible here:

I also was contacted by someone interested in improving the AI. I hope he won't give up after seing the source...


[EDIT:] Screenshots added; my post was looking a little bit empty...
[EDIT:] Thanks Vertyos for the faster alternative.

Another bomberman, but this one is really great
Where did you rip the gfx ?

You should add some more bonuses, too ^^

(btw, ifrance is slooooow... what about using the link in my signature to upload it ?)

I just tried it. It works flawlessly on my VTI and my HW1 (running AMS 2.03).
It's nice, especially the design (I like the animted stars above the character's head when I loose ).

-For the bomberman:

-For the tiles:
I search for 'all' the bomberman screenshots available on the web with google/image
After that: (Paint + Image Studio) * Lot's of patience
That's why the graphics comes from lot's of different bomberman.

I'll probably add the remote explosion bonus.

spectras> Thanks. I hope the gameplay is good too.

Ok it's from bomberman tournament on GBA... I didn't try this one

What about adding the ... I don't remember the name, but it's a bomb with spikes on it, which explode when a player hit it.

Is is. Well, it is on vti. On my real calc the arrow-keys are beginning to show their age, making all sorts of games more difficult that they would really be

It looks very nice, great work on the game!

I believe you are referring to a 'mine'

no no, mine is another bonus : they bury beneath the surface once set, and so become invisible

Oops! I think what you meant then was a "bomb-with-proximity-setting-off-spikey-thingies"!

this is a mine, and this what I'm talking about

(thanks for the sprites)

we played it with MacIntoc at the failed open

hu ? I don't remember that ... maybe it's because I don't *want* to remember that

That's what compression yields. Decreasing the uncompressed size of the code (i.e. its memory requirements) lowers compression ratios.

Congratulations, jfg, your game is sweeter day after day! Keep going!

./14 I wasn't complaining about the fact that the size of the ppg didn't decrease, I was merely saying that the compression doesn't encourage people to remove redondant data/code !

./15 Thanks.

The TI-84+ and the TI-68k are really different. Porting programs between these calcs is not an easy task, especially since their operating systems are different.

Worse, the CPUs are different too (and the C compilers available for the Z80 aren't powerful enough to compile most C programs, even if they don't use 68k inline assembly), as is all the other hardware (screen, keyboard, ...). Games are usually very hardware-near, so this is even more of a problem than the OS.

Just so you know, I decided to start working on an on-calc map editor.
Don't know yet if I'll ever manage to make it work though (started 10 minutes ago).
