----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Sat Dec 03, 2005 3:51 pm Zelda SNES style- test engine ----------------------------------- Here is the basics of my Zelda turing engine, one bad guy a few bushes, but they're hard coded instead of in a class, it handles one rupee at a time.- gotta change that also, move using the arrow keys, attack using ctrl, hold ctrl for a choppy spin attack that doesnt work yet(hit detection). move off the map to the next to respawn grass and bad guy. :P enjoy, im going to work on this after i finish my WWII shooter game. http://www.godetiaclarkia.com/mike/Zelda Turing.zip * You need winzip, and there is a lot of bmps ... Comments, suggestion to make it more efficent appreciated. ----------------------------------- iker Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:53 pm ----------------------------------- theres not enough bitmaps is what you should have said! try putting the other 4 sword directions (ne,nw,se,sw) into the .zip. Other then that, its pretty good, a little fast though ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:00 pm ----------------------------------- my mistake, thanks for telling me that, heres the version with the full sword ensemble. ----------------------------------- Shyfire Mon Dec 05, 2005 5:31 pm ----------------------------------- ok first thing its a good start to a zelda game but...... 1: its a little fast (i suggest putting a fps limiter in it) 2: the screen is a little to big 3: the enemy moves to fast and u cant hit him 4: how did u get the bush to go away when u jit it 5: try to clean up the movement anywho i really liked it, it brought back memories GOOD WORK :D + 10 bits if u need any help with it the just pm me and ill help you with what i can :!: ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Mon Dec 05, 2005 6:24 pm ----------------------------------- thanks, ill try and work on making it slower, yea, have to make it so that the enemy does not end up on top of the player. The bushes were done with a boolean variable for every bush, if the player's attack is on the same spot as the bush then the flag becomes false and will not redraw, also it creates a rupee at whatever spot the bush was, gotta randomize it to drop either a heart rupee, bombs or arrows. but yea, thanks , very much appreciated. ----------------------------------- MiX-MaztA-M8riX Tue Dec 06, 2005 2:35 pm ----------------------------------- very nice, but light up a-bit people, it is a TEST engine! ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Sat Dec 10, 2005 1:58 pm NEW ENGINE ----------------------------------- (BIG UPDATE) Ive scrapped the old one and made a totally new one, although it doesnt include attacking or rupees im posting this for feedback. Is the speed good enough? and what would be a good tile size ? the old one used 10 x 20. Better animation and controllability, except its not possible to go diagonal, but meh. :: A lot more pictures... (controls) arrow keys -move ctrl - run ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Dec 10, 2005 7:11 pm ----------------------------------- The walking bit is a bit slow on my 550 mhz, other wise it looks good. (I use to keep running in zelda anyway) This would be so much easier with sprites, instead of using all those lines of code :( but too bad sprites aren't working. You might want to try fiddling wtih View.UpdateArea and also take a look at [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=859&start=0]This tutorial ----------------------------------- jamonathin Mon Dec 12, 2005 10:32 am ----------------------------------- Thats a good start, the next thing that you'll probabily want to do after Paul's input, is make the screen like, i dunno 400;400? but center the guy and have the map move around him, or, when the guys gets close to the edge of the screen, have the screen slide over the opposite direction. Uf your not shure what im talkin about, just search up the other Zelda game on compsci. ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Mon Dec 12, 2005 8:04 pm ----------------------------------- Hmm yea that other zelda game looks really good, i alreadly have a scrolling background - see older version above /\ but its not smooth as the other ones, i'll probably have it scroll by 1 than delay for about 10 ms then move on. i'll think ill go with the 800x500 cause i wanna go with custom bigger backgrounds. ----------------------------------- Saad85 Mon Dec 12, 2005 9:21 pm ----------------------------------- it may just be my computer but it's a bit too slow. i think a good walking speed would be half way between your current walking speed and your running speed ----------------------------------- nastynika Tue Dec 13, 2005 10:26 am ----------------------------------- could you but this game into a .t save so that the computer that i use will except it please ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Tue Dec 13, 2005 5:18 pm ----------------------------------- in exe - just copy it into the other folder and it should run properly ----------------------------------- nastynika Tue Dec 13, 2005 6:42 pm ----------------------------------- no the computers at school wont let us download zip files only .t ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:21 am ----------------------------------- There are a lot of bitmaps involved. Are you allowed to download those? ----------------------------------- nastynika Wed Dec 14, 2005 10:01 am ----------------------------------- yes we are ----------------------------------- donkey Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:01 am ----------------------------------- hi could you please convert this to a .t save file ----------------------------------- RedRogueXIII Sat Dec 24, 2005 10:55 am ----------------------------------- well i could but then there is an immense amount of bmps involved, and i dont realy feel like posting every single one, sorry. ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jan 11, 2006 8:16 pm ----------------------------------- i like this newest engine it looks really good link walking should be a bit faster though but good job, when i ran it though, link disappeared in the lower left corner, you might want to check into that though it only happened once to me good job my hats off to you ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Tue Jun 06, 2006 6:51 pm ----------------------------------- thats pretty cool. here is wat im working on. ----------------------------------- _justin_ Tue Jun 06, 2006 7:12 pm ----------------------------------- ehh thats pretty nice the only suggestion i can think of for now is maybe make the screen a bit bigger ----------------------------------- Clayton Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:55 pm ----------------------------------- um, why is this topic back at the top of the list? didnt you guys read [The Rules] about being necromancers? plz dont revive dead topics :D @mods: i think there should be a auto topic-lock after a certain time for V3 :D ----------------------------------- TheOneTrueGod Tue Jun 06, 2006 10:10 pm ----------------------------------- I was just thinking that like an hour ago when I first read this post :shock: And probably something that makes it so posts have to be at least x characters long... It would prevent spam (more like wood. Hah! I'm clever 8-) ) ----------------------------------- ThePyroManiac Wed Mar 09, 2016 9:23 am RE:Zelda SNES style- test engine ----------------------------------- Its great with a bit more work i might even be willing to pay for it ----------------------------------- lordroba Sun Apr 10, 2016 8:54 pm Re: Zelda SNES style- test engine ----------------------------------- This is the second time this thread has been resurrected, but this time it's almost been 10 years! This makes me feel old.... ----------------------------------- Insectoid Mon Apr 11, 2016 6:10 pm RE:Zelda SNES style- test engine ----------------------------------- Christ, this threads been around longer than me! Might be the longest necro I've ever seen! Jeez pyro, did you go all the way back to page 51 to find this? ----------------------------------- ThePyroManiac Wed May 04, 2016 9:13 am RE:Zelda SNES style- test engine ----------------------------------- lol yeah
