Coin Collecting Game...How many can u collect?

[Kingnoz]

This is a coin collecting game that i warped out of what was going to be a pacman like game, but i was too lazy to make an AI for it.

Anyway, the point of the game is...well collect as many coins as u can before the time runs out

My highest amount is 200 and one item from a treasure chest.

You guys can use the code for ideas but do not copy the whole thing.

There is also final fantasy music to listen to while u play...all u have to do is select a number between 1 and 5 when it asks.

All the tiles were created by me
The characters are all final fantasy
The coin is from super mario

U can make ur own maps too...just modify the Map1.t file, but make sure they are the same size...i don't remeber if i bug proofed that

Controls:
Arrow keys -> move around
o -> opens the treasure chests

Hmm...nice...nice...

I didn't particularly like the movement too much...but I guess that it's classic Pac Man style movement?

That's just me.

It ran really fast on my computer though, and often the keys were 'sticky'.

I'm guessing you're checking too much in your Input Loop...didn't check myself, just a hunch.

Music is good...fun...Nobuo Uematsu...

Yeah it does that on mine too, so i just hold the buttons down, even when moving in the same direction.

how do you get the guy not to run into the walls? what collision detect method do you use?

[Kingnoz]

i used my own method

im not too much into looking at code for this kinda stuff...but anyhoo
what i do is have a 2D array of the tile names then i check the tile that the player will move into and see if it is a tile that is "walkable" (in this instance the black squares), if there are more than one tiles that are "walkable" then u can just organize the pictures of the tiles so they divides into two groups...walkable and nonwalkable...and just say tiles between this number and another number are ok to walk on

code:

procedure Movement (var dir : string)     var num1 : int     var num2 : int     if dir = "up" then         fy += 16     elsif dir = "down" then         fy -= 16     elsif dir = "left" then         fx -= 16     elsif dir = "right" then         fx += 16     end if     num1 := ((((maxy + 1) div 2 + 156) - fy) div 16)     num2 := ((fx - ((maxx + 1) div 2 - 216)) div 16)     locate (2, 2)     %put "num1: ", num1, " num2: ", num2     if num1 <= 19 and num1 >= 1 and num2 >= 1 and num2 <= 25 then         if tiles (num1, num2) = "Q" then             move_allowed := true             if coins (num1, num2) = false then                 Pic.Draw (Q, fx, fy, picCopy)                 coins_collected += 1                 coins (num1, num2) := true             end if         end if     end if end Movement

If u want a more detailed description then just pm me

hey, thats pretty cool. do you know how to put the coins in using whatdotcolor and not using an array ?

[Clayton]

Holy crap!

Welcome to CompSci.ca Qamar. It's nice to see that you want to be an active poster, however you have to be careful of the dates. This particular thread is almost 3 years old! Just keep that in mind

Pretty cool game though, although I couldnt get any items :/

Chests wouldn't open

[Carey]

try pressing o to open them. btw why is this thread at the top of the list again?

[ashiphire]

nice game

[lilmizeminem]

it didnt work for me
i cant get passed the part where you pick a charector.

[Carey]

you have to click a char type and class. can this topic be locked? its really old and im sick of seeing it at the top of the list.
