[Sand3r]

I'm aware of this, thanks for your report
If you still want to show me your screenshots - and actually I guess I can use them to fix this problem - you can do so by sending me an email and simply attaching the images within the email.
You can find my email address on my website (http://sand3r.net/wp/contact)

I sent you an email.

A suggestion
Please change the background colour of the levels. In Slide, it becomes a bit of a strain. Maybe you could make the black obstacles a more noticeable colour like bright blue or dull green.

I noticed you couldn't get the OSLib fonts working. You could use OSLib Mod by Sakya, it supports PGF font loading with IntraFont. http://trac2.assembla.com/oslibmod/brow ... ont/main.c

True, I know about that one, although I don't like that built-in intraFont. Is there a way to convert TTF fonts into PGF ones? I guess there is, but anyway, I'll have to retake a look into this

I read you're working on an in-game level editor. I was going to write an in-game level editor in that project I mentioned. You could just use the D-pad to select a tile on the grid, use the R and L triggers to change the type of the tile (start, dead tile, empty tile), use the square button to test the level without saving it, and use the cross button to save the custom level in one out of ten custom level slots.

Indeed, I was exactly planning as you were saying. There are buttons enough and with L and R you can loop through the available cubes.

This is totally opinionated, but I loathe that font you're using. I'll probably change the resource files up a bit and make an alternative theme, if that's okay with you.

I thought it would look funny, but everyone has its own taste, it seems The big advantage of all these images is that you can freely and relatively easy change them - and I don't mind if you do - to style it more to your liking. If you think you came up with something really nice, would you mind showing it?

The background color? You mean the background image, as there isn't a single solid color? The whole point of the different games is to stick at one colour per game. If I suddenly add multiple different colours, that 'effect' would be gone. Ofcourse, I could brighten up the black obstacle cube a little.

there is. download LPE V8 and in tools folder, you'll find it

which is what I meant. change the obstacle colour.

Sand3r, you need to add an exit callback for it to not freeze Basically set the callback to be the same "exit" function(if you have one) that your built in exit button calls, or if it just breaks out of your main function loop(flag or "break;") then just get it to set a flag that will break out of the main loop

Hmm, indeed, makes sense. I used to do this, but now that I'm using OSLib, I just thought OSLib would handle it, because there's 'OslQuit()' and the documentation says that should do the trick, well, apparently, it doesn't
But thanks! As soon as I've got some spare time, I'll fix it

Either way, looks nice, it would be nice if you actually upgraded it to cubes, though Especially for the FillUp and Slide modes, both mini games I remember in many other games which definitely deserve their own titles. I can just imagine seed a 3D cube rolling around on FillUp, or sliding and bouncing around on impact in slide Would give it some more visual appeal, if you feel like taking the time to do it.

Yeah, I know. Next thing I'm going to do (or better: trying to do) is using images instead of this silly, childish 2D drawing. I'd love to see some 3D instead, but that's surely not in my capabilities, as there are not that many good tutorials. Some got outdated, some don't work anymore (bad links etc.). (And yes, I know of the 'NeHe' tuts, or something like that, but that really looks a bridge too far and if I recall correctly, I tried them already once. Maybe let's try this again...)

Some effects, though, shouldn't be too hard to implement and it looks definitely fun (as well as programming it and seeing it working in-game)

Also, just a note, I hope there is much bigger and more complicated levels than that level 20 That one took me a few seconds hehe

Indeed, I'll have to add way more levels, but right now, my creativity is on a break As soon as I got some other, slightly more important bugs worked out, I'll start working on a - hopefully - decent Level Editor. That will give me, and the user base, a nice 'start' to create some levels.

As far as I go with it, I think level 10 is the hardest

With OSlib you can use something like this :

Code: Select all

        while(!osl_quit){
             //your code
        }

It should work(it works for Kow PSP so...).

Here's a TTF to PGF converter.

Good luck with your homebrew.

Alright, version 1.2 is - finally - out!
I hope I fixed most of the bugs by now

The changelog for this version:

- Fixed Matrix problem: multiple solutions now possible;
- Integrated level editor;
- Multiple user-made levels added.

Enjoy!

[C4TurD4Y]

- Fixed Matrix problem: multiple solutions now possible;

At least...

I'm waiting for the next version which will use fonts, not pictures of words in png format... and I hope you will add support for multi-languages (I can do polish translation:)). Keep it up!

And good luck with the competition.

I know it took a long time, quite busy with school and stuff

I'm also really hoping for fonts: creating images for every **** little thing is getting me so nuts... But when I got that font loading finally working, another weird 'bug' showed up: no more images at all. OSLib just tells me he can't find the images anymore, while I haven't changed that at all. Now that v1.2 is out, I can take a look again, but it would be lots easier if there was an easy-to-use, fast and ttf supporting lib right out of the box.
(Also, I miss the OO-aspect in my source A LOT, Java would be so much easier, but that's another thing )
