I made the zip before closing the project - so code::blocks had not saved the extra file in its project settings. :blink: You are the only downloader. :( I had given up going to the bother of making it available. It has come on a bit - the asparagus now grows leaves. When I get the bl**dy...

That's not a bad idea, but for now I am going with the Spectrum loading border : (It loses something as a still image.)

That made me laugh. Go for it. :lol: It is basically your fault that this thread was not allowed die - so you better had. ;)

I am glad it is of use to someone. The GP2X currently seems to be dieing rapidly. I hoped this would renew some interest in it and maybe even persuade a ROMZ whore or two to give devving a bash. But I guess the smell of a new machine has them all to busy downloading more WAREZ. ;) The bees...

Finally the moment I have been waiting for is here. I get to KILL things. There are now six bug objects. Rather than having six of each type of bug I have opted for a tangled web of spaghetti code that has just six objects of type BUG. When a bug starts, it selects what type it is going to be...

Predominately clockwise for me. It took some time to make change but it seems like with a bit of practice you can get it to swap at will. Cool find !

Haha! Excellent!

Thanks, Alex ! I had not thought about decorating the Spectrum border. It is something to consider. Perhaps it could display the blue and yellow loading stripes. Great for epileptics ! I might just leave it as an exercise for those who want it to add it themselves. I am so lazy.

The only important part of the plant is the stem. This controls the level. It's whole function is to grow to its full size and signal the level is completed. The bud is just a decoration, as are the leaves and the blossom. It is the stem that is trying to reach its target and any bugs that...

Today's great leap forward is getting the spray-cans to emit wacky sprays when B is pressed. Just to clarify what is going on : We have a Robbie object, 3 spray can objects and now we also have 2 spray objects. When Robbie touches a can, the can is turned off and Robbie becomes a robot/can...

I spent the last week mostly playing Knight Lore and GPrina. GP2X homebrew rocks. Having eventually got them out of my system, there has been a small development in this, the second 'Jabber's How not to write a game' thread. Having found it overly complicated to have Robbie and a spray-can...

Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Unless the application was a PDF viewer of some other such thing I would never use a whole font subsystem. As soon as you use the SDL lib the size of your app mushrooms. For a game that may have only one or two fonts I would use the text function in a paint program to make a bitmap of the...

Thank you for your thoughts, guys ! Luckily, you have each argued for opposing viewpoints so I am none the wiser :lol: . But as this thread is about introducing the joys of programming, it is serves to show that, at the design level, there is not a 'proper' way to do anything. It just goes to...

DO NOT PLAY THIS ! I have just wasted the last 24 hours because of this. I have not eaten. I have not slept. The only reason I am not playing it now is because I ran out of batteries. Thanks a bunch, BUHOnero. ;)

The best part about making a game is working out how to implement stuff. Possibly the most challenging part of this game is how to make Robbie interact with the spray cans. The first thought I had was that when he picks up a can, a second graphic would be used - so the can would become part of...

Hello. Nice to 'meet' you. I am not a trained programmer and I don't have a degree, but I think with an open source device like this you are missing most the fun if you don't give it a go. The possibility of being able to program it is the reason I got it. The emulation side of it does not...

Now it is time to think about what Robbie actually does. To me it seems he is, in fact, just an oversized cursor/mouse pointer. Obviously his main purpose is to give the user something to move around the screen. His only characteristics are :He moves in 8 directions. He waits a strangely long...

The GP2X version cannot link flush_uppermem_cache and the PC builds cannot find sdl_gfx. Any suggestions ? I don't seem to have the files for memwatch.
