----------------------------------- fishtastic Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:27 pm Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- I somehow had the idea of making this, I thought if the text flying down the screen were something like "OMGWTFLOL" the it will be really funny :shock: :shock: Well, here goes another chunk of codes. :) % made by fishtastic % control: left and right arrow. % have fun! var map : array 1 .. maxrow, 1 .. maxcol of int var col : array 1 .. 25 of int var x := 40 var y := maxrow var key : array char of boolean var line := repeat (" ", 26) var gameOver := false loop put "Enter a Pointless Line. (25 characters or shorter)" put "The longer then line is, the harder the game is." put "" get line : * exit when length (line) 0 then if 256 + length (line) - map (i, j) > maxcolor then color (green) else colour (256 + length (line) - map (i, j)) end if put line (map (i, j)) .. if y = i and x = j then gameOver := true end if else if i = y and j = x then color (white) put "@" .. else put " " .. end if end if end for end for for i : 1 .. 25 drawline (0, Rand.Int (0, maxy), maxx, Rand.Int (0, maxy), black) end for View.Update Input.KeyDown (key) if key (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) and x > 1 then x -= 1 end if if key (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) and x < 80 then x += 1 end if exit when gameOver end loop put "GAME OVER" View.Update ----------------------------------- LaZ3R Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:41 pm RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- Nevermind, I see your comment at the top of the program. Still weird... ----------------------------------- Gooie Tue Jan 22, 2008 3:23 pm Re: Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- I love it.

The main loop could use some better organization. The way you have it is: Draw Think Think/Draw Draw Flip Backbuffer Get Input Think If you make it so there is only one draw and one think, it will increase readability. You might also consider putting in an FPS limiter (delay or Time.DelaySinceLast) so everyone runs the same program. ----------------------------------- fishtastic Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:34 pm Re: RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- Cool comments!! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) Interesting, although it did distract some kids in our class from their work the other day. Yes!! my evil plan is starting to work. i will complete screw them by uploading something even more distracting I love it. Simple, efficient, and fun. Thank you! Nevermind, I see your comment at the top of the program. Still weird... were you trying to say something? If you make it so there is only one draw and one think, it will increase readability. You might also consider putting in an FPS limiter (delay or Time.DelaySinceLast) so everyone runs the same program. Yes. I was putting codes in procedure at the beginning, then I put them in the main loop to shorten the code down. The program I pretty short, but organizing will make it even easier to real. I found turing slow at out putting on my computer even without delay. but DelaySinceLast will probably maintain FPS in faster Comps. thanks for all comments :mrgreen: ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:57 pm RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- I don't mean you should put all your code into procedures. That is not required right now. Just try to keep everything together. It's a lot easier to get all of the user input, then process it, and then render it. In Turing, I try to organize my main loop like this: Get Input (Input.KeyDown, Mouse.Where, hasch, getchar) Think (process input, do calculations, check if the program should exit) Render (clear the screen, draw everything) Flip BackBuffer (View.Update) FPS Limiter (Time.Delay or Time.DelaySinceLast) ----------------------------------- Carey Thu Jan 24, 2008 9:54 am RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- Same with me.I usually build the loop with procedures titled loop input exit when not calculate draw Time.DelaySinceLast end loop With the View.Update inside the draw procedure ----------------------------------- anna12345 Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:09 am RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- ur a genius))) ----------------------------------- crysis Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:25 pm RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- tis is awsome i really enjoyed it however if theres 2 many characters you get trapped. ----------------------------------- syntax_error Tue Apr 22, 2008 9:08 pm Re: RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- tis is awsome i really enjoyed it however if theres 2 many characters you get trapped. he states himself: char limit 25. ----------------------------------- crysis Wed Apr 23, 2008 8:06 am RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- wat do u mean char limit 25? ----------------------------------- nastynika Wed Apr 23, 2008 8:51 am Re: RE:Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- wat do u mean char limit 25? he means dont use anymore than 25 characters ----------------------------------- nastynika Wed Apr 23, 2008 8:52 am Re: Matrix Text Effect Game ----------------------------------- nice game btw you could try doing something to give u a score or a timer on how long u lasted
