GP32 Community project programers area

[gp32animefreak]

Here we go its going underway venom has made the sprite thingy(sorry im new to C++ a month new)..

Things we need to discuss: How the characters sprites will look, Current progress, and the stuff coders will talk about.

Gimme a PM and i'll see what i can do.

 

[rcx21000]

I'll program AI if it's needed

 

[Delsabre]

the tile size should be large i think... does 48x48 sound good?

 

[gp32animefreak]

Large would be good, 48x48 seems okay.

 

[Evil_Cartman]

Large would be good, 48x48 seems okay.

yeh, prolly that'll work out.

 

[Delsabre]

ok, next thing, this thread will also be used for game design, as it ties in closely with the coding.

i think the game style should play like Secret of Mana, where you can choose magic attacks and stuff but dont have to be in a battle to use them.

 

[EvilDragon]

Ah, so you're thinking about an action-RPG (like SoM, Zelda, FFA) instead of a round-based RPG (like FF-series, Chrono-series, etc.)?

That's nice
I like action-RPGs better, but they're also harder to code, I guess

 

[Rico]

not THAT much harder. Less details like stats for every monster to worry about

 

[gp32animefreak]

something like seiken densetsu or zelda, Thanks to Rico's new Engine its a reality..

I'd just like to say I thought this wouldent make it past day two but it did and we have already started...God bless A....The Internet

 

[EvilDragon]

Geeeze, you're perfect
This will be the nicest project ever done on any console by the community

@rico:
What can you do with your engine already?
Is collision detecting etc. already working?

 

[Evil_Cartman]

Everything above sounds great.

We need to see who will take care of what things (sprites, backgrounds etc...)

 

[Rico]

hold up!! I didn't say my engine was anywhere near completion! I'm looking at neural networks and AI...collision detection is just box-based at the moment, if you want pixel*pixel you might be interested in GDL or SDL.

 

[gp32animefreak]

Opps my bad, sorry

 

[bigSEXYc]

Gimme a PM and i'll see what i can do.

Whats a PM? Also if u guys need any character designers id be more than happy to help. just give me the 411

 

[Delsabre]

we dont need pixel*pixel collision testing. i really doubt it.

@bigSEXYc: a PM is a Personal Message. there is a button on each persons post to send one to them.

Pm is private message u can send one from the tab near the bottom that says PM cheers B)

 

[Delsabre]

okay, ive been waiting on Hando to make a subforum for this, but i guess hes waiting on us to make a demo...

whoever made the SDL prog that shows the sprite, please PM it to me. I'll put in the key catching routine and stuff...

@Rico: how are we going to merge this with your engine? specs/syntax please.

 

[Rico]

Ok two things Delsabre:

1. I think Hando just wants you to keep stuff in Team Building, but he hasn't told me anything. Like others I have a lot of resources at my disposal to set up a forum if you need one.

2. Well as I said earlier my engine is not complete enough, and won't be for some time, for such a 'merging'. What I do promise is that the AI code I'm working on will be available for your use, basically it will require a thaiWorld object and one thaiHook per AI-enabled object in your world, plus occasional message sending. The interface is still being screwed around with but this is a generic AI library.

I'm a very slow worker, and very busy, so that's why I haven't tried to involve myself deeply into it. What I'm saying is that there is no use duplicating work

 

[EvilDragon]

Ahwell, and you can't start a complicated project like this with a PROGRAM DEMO.
First, you need a story, the game engine needs to be discussed and then all the needed things have to be told the coders...

It's always bad to create a program and THEN tell the story...
