----------------------------------- 36002 Tue Feb 08, 2005 8:30 pm nortron -another tron game ----------------------------------- Current Version: 2.2.5, found on next page! Hi there, this is my first project that I've really spent some time on. Its called NorTron, and is a pretty much a basic tron type game. You and a partner (havn't gotten comp. AI working that well yet) control lines and the objective is to get your oponent to hit a line, either theirs, the arenas lines, or yours. However, I've had some things (well, one right now) and that is a turbo. When you press the corrosponding turbo key for your line, it will give you a slight increase in speed for a few seconds. This is a little buggy though, because in the right circumstance it will allow you to go through lines. Anyway, tell my what you think and what you think I could add :) Instructions in the game (which btw is about 587 lines, loads of comments though). ----------------------------------- ssr Wed Feb 09, 2005 8:17 pm ----------------------------------- um the computer is erally buggy alright somehow it went off the screen, and it says its tied! :shock: good effort though :D ----------------------------------- 36002 Wed Feb 09, 2005 8:44 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks :) Ya the computer has major problems, for me it always goes off the screen too. But I will work on it another time. But did you or anybody else have any other problem or bug in it? ----------------------------------- ssr Sun Feb 13, 2005 8:52 pm ----------------------------------- mostly the computer AI part, otherwise would be great. :D ----------------------------------- 36002 Thu Apr 07, 2005 4:03 pm ----------------------------------- I've added an updated version, its at the top. Tell me what you think :) Also, I know about the computer AI part, and it needs to be better looking, but the basics of the game are ok. Tell me of any bugs that you find ----------------------------------- Mr. T Thu Apr 07, 2005 10:57 pm ----------------------------------- streaky title page ----------------------------------- jamonathin Fri Apr 08, 2005 7:55 am ----------------------------------- Yeah, try offscreenonly and View.Update. ----------------------------------- 36002 Fri Apr 08, 2005 2:37 pm ----------------------------------- Oops :oops:, I thought I fixed that, its fixed now. I've also made the menu at first a little more user friendly. Its a bit slow, but it works. You can also use thekeys 1-8 to select the menu option, then hit enter. ----------------------------------- jamonathin Fri Apr 08, 2005 2:52 pm ----------------------------------- Much Better, I like your menu idea, but why not use Font.Draw and make the text look better, or you savin some "special stuff" for version nortron_2_1_3. Anyways, good job. ----------------------------------- 36002 Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:52 pm ----------------------------------- I still have some ideas. I wanted to code the basics now and make it look nice later. But I may work on the menu, make it look nicer. Thanks for the comments :) ----------------------------------- Mr. T Fri Apr 08, 2005 8:27 pm ----------------------------------- the font.draw still leaves streaks :? ----------------------------------- 36002 Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:11 pm ----------------------------------- Really? That seems odd. I have a somewhat crappy computer at home, its fine. Even on the surprising better computers at school (somewhat better anyway), its fine. Anyway, heres the latest version. I forget whats changed exactly, but now you can skip the opening screen if you want be pressing any key. ----------------------------------- 36002 Sat Jun 04, 2005 3:12 pm ----------------------------------- Here's a new release, its version 2.2.3. Lots of changes I think, many menus redone. Change name, reset scores, etc.. Begininng of map functionality in this release... There is sound as well, no button yet to disable it. Also fixed the 'ghost' writing bug, don't know why it was happening. Suggestions/comments/bugs? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sat Jun 04, 2005 8:41 pm ----------------------------------- Good game, interesting menu well made. The ai is a bit... easy. ----------------------------------- 36002 Sun Jun 05, 2005 9:03 am ----------------------------------- Thanks. The main focus for the game was 2 player, so AI at this time isn't really the focus. I would still like to make it better though. ----------------------------------- gohan Mon Jun 06, 2005 8:37 am ----------------------------------- I like the game very much(my friend too)...I didnt try it with the AI because i was playing against my friend....I have one question...how did you get the extra windows on there as well...(you know...the score, and the title blocks) ----------------------------------- 36002 Mon Jun 06, 2005 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks :) I opened up more windows with Window.Open. With the case of the scoring/information window, I used Window.Select so that information could be written to it. ----------------------------------- 36002 Fri Jun 10, 2005 7:46 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I'm up to version 2.2.5 now. I've taken out the map editing functionality, as it wasn't going to be done in time. This is the version I plan on handing for my ISU so I was hoping that some people could test it, let me know of any bugs, maybe a handy feature I don't have yet, etc. I've also added the ability to mute the sound, but right now you have to be in a game to do that. It's a little bugy though. Still working on that. Let me know. ----------------------------------- jamonathin Sat Jun 11, 2005 6:52 am ----------------------------------- Very nice. I like your Menu Screen. Would have been a little more impressive if instead of using images, it was in your coding, but it still looks pretty sharp. And I'm not sure why you duped all of your images. One .bmp ong .jpg. Its also too bad you have all that stuff for only 'Tron'. :P But anyways, good job. + 15 Bits ----------------------------------- 36002 Sat Jun 11, 2005 10:00 am ----------------------------------- Thanks :) The things being duped, ie in jpg and bmp, for a small amount of time I was considering using jpg as the images instead of bmp, but the quality wasn't there. I just havn't got around to deleting them. The reason for all the images was it was a lot easier to just make th epicture with all the words and stuff on it, otherwise I would have to add a whole lot of lines.... And because the font I used for the "NorTron" titles and some other stuff was in a font I had to dl off the net, so most computers wouldn't have it. Anyway, thansk for the bits ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:00 am ----------------------------------- would yo be able to post the file as a .t so that us people still in school can test it out? ty ----------------------------------- 36002 Wed Jun 29, 2005 1:33 pm ----------------------------------- Alrighty, I think most people are out of school now so as promised I will be uploading the .t file as a zip later on. This is because it has a whole lot of images and other stuff. The coding isn't the greatest, most things have comments, but hey, it works. [edit] As promised, here is the source code.
