I would use tiles to build one large image to scroll - but you probably know better than to listen to me. I have yet to try a scrolling game. It is looking good. Any progress since your last post ? I hope you have time to keep us updated - (so I can steal your techniques).

I have stumbled across this. It reads : It reminds me of my school reports :

Ditch visual studio and use yaustar's code::blocks setup. You will be up and running in minutes. I think all the information you need is in this post.

Thank you for your recommendations Senor Quack. I have rewritten the input handling and made Y another fire button. I also speeded up the menu a tad. I have PM'd you, YakumoFuji and Alex. with a link to the updated build. Thank you for your help.

Thank you Senor Quack. I have PM'd you. Any one else ? It is just like a ROMZ except you don't have to get it from a WAREZ site and you don't need an EMU to run it.

I seem to have broken my personal best for lieing comatose in scattering of empty beer cans and my own bodily secretions. Sadly I was 'saved' from this state of blissful unconciousness by a 'friend' throwing a bucket of water over me. Thanks to a diet of porrige and chicken soup I am slowly...

PSSST

I would be really interested in seeing a picture of the "mapping dots". Is it possible for you to post a picture, please ?

I have discovered there is an on-line flash version of PSSST. It is here ->PSSSST ON-LINE Sadly they seem to have done away with the bugs having their own individual movement patterns. Also the they have implemented it so both cans freeze the wrong type of bug, rather than just one specific...

Menus! Pah! The trouble with menus is that we have become conditioned to judge a game by the menu. Subconciously we know that the game will only be about ten percent as good as the menu. This is because the game will have been written by a fat, overpaid programmer with nothing to prove...

Thanks Vilmos. I am putting the menus in and it does take that extra bit of dedication. Since the the actual game is complete (except for sound) I keep finding myself 'play testing' it more than necessary and not getting on with the job. Thank you again Sebastian. My middle name is Cheese, so it...

Wow! Thanks Sebastian ! That's brilliant. Can I include it as part of the final (If I ever get to finish it) archive for downloading ? I am lost for words.

That works (FW 2.0.0). Very nice job.

They don't work for me :( I just get the SDL mouse pointer for a second - then they return to the system.

GPH is currently releasing the F200. It took them this long to manage a small improvement like that. To believe that they could be releasing one machine AND thinking about the next is more than I can credit them with. Walking and chewing gum at the same time just does not fit their m.o.

Can I hold back the release of PSSST, or do I have to make something new ?

I'm not putting too much stock in this rumour. It has probably been started by investors in the craig machine, worried that people will not have any money after buying the F200. What better way to put people off getting an F200 than hinting at an 800 version ? In the meantime the craigerbater...

Am I wrong that the scene is dying, or am I wrong hoping the F200 will rejuvenate it ? Or am I wrong thinking that I have not given up ? You are probably right - story of my life. I think I have squashed the bug by rewriting the collision detection( for the 20th odd time). There has not been...

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I did not realise I had given the impression that I was giving up. Although if I was not doing this for my own entertainment the general apathy on these boards would be enough to dampen the most ardent passion. All this talk of the scene dying is like a...

I hope people will find this useful. I am not much of a programmer or a teacher which I hope is a good thing in that others will realise if a klutz like me can do it, so can they. I do not have a database of C and SDL commands in my head. Many times I have to look things up, but there is no...
