Easy modes - got the sprite collisions set-up, onto positioning the platforms now.

Yeah, it is, slowly slowly, but I've only had a lil bit of time now and then this week to code, so , yeah, commenting better than usual in the code

I think I need to tinker with the level generation, you were right Jay, it is way too tough

Good luck getting the balancing right. Just find the right "feel" and try to work around that.

The game code so far is still just under 4kb. I have 32kb available to me in total. Might attempt to put a hidden lil shmup game in there should the correct combination of keys be bunged in the title screen or something.

Or you could add an endless scrolling mode..!!
Mon, 18 Dec 2017, 09:19
cyangames
Ahh, scrolling. Yeah, scrolling will be something I'll consider in a couple of games time to be honest. It is something I'm going to figure out how to do (with appropriate collisions) later on. But this game doesn't quite require that. Unless perhaps a sequel?!

Right, so, as there's going to be multiple levels 'n' stuff I figured it'd be nice to give each one a name, basedon it's starting seed, world type and difficulty, using the following set-up:




It might make it easier for people to remember and pick their favourites for multiplayer battles also this way I reckon.

Blimey, Levels!
And multiplayer, too??!

Sounds hard to have to type some of those in, mind...

Levels, but only in the sense of different tilesets, enemy patterns and (possibly) generation methods.

It'll be tough to do but I'm aiming to make it as complete as I can within the space available.

Minimalism FTW!

Bit of code refactoring and other landable platforms added tonight.





Started writing up a text for ASM convertor in PHP for the level names but just got a bit too tired now, nn all

Think I've stumbled upon some other possibilities for proc genning other level variants with their own unique styles.

Mostly by generating shapes as offsets in code, then blitting them onto the background ram sporadically, with other elements to join them all together.

Maybe have different shapes for different "worlds"?
That might work well, yeah!

Yup indeedy!

I've also re-started up my blog this year now and got a lil task list written up for me for this week, should be good.

Decided to leave it with wordpress for the moment, I just don't get the sapre time I used to nowadays. Certainly not enough time to code up a whole CMS again anyway.

Yeah, Wordpress is more than adequate for most cases.
The only reason I ended up doing a rewrite of AGameAWeek, was because I found myself barely using Wordpress’s functionality beyond basic blogging.
Seemed a waste!!

Yeah, I've got past my utter hate for it and just accepted it as a quick solution for me. At least for this year anyhow!

Getting those level names displayed on screen now, might have that done by midnight even, woo!

Yeah it is!

So, I have the platforms safely generating across all 256 levels but... they're all generated at the same time.

Not sequentially. Which is the new crux of the problem.

So, there's two ways I can tackle this.

Just generate one when it's needed which would be simpler to execute but risky as the guesswork invovled could push the CPU, depending on RNG

Pre-generate each one, store them in RAM and load up each one when it's needed. Probably the better solution actually now I think about it.

Just when you sort something out eh? Ha!



The ROM in it's current state is playable here if people are interested in it's current state.

Press start to loop through each level, the other controls should be obvious. left, right, a to flap.
