KILL CMND ti-84+ce

[p2]

try to at least do one tiny bugfix per week, ok?
Don'T want you to abandon the project D:
(and if you dont work with it regulary  you might forget how key elements of it work which would mean the end of it as well) :/

[kotu]

hahahaha

it all works p2 

lol

[xlibman]

Motivation is definitively hard to come by . I hope this project comes to fruition

[kotu]

@p2 thinks it's full of bugs

.....(and if you dont work with it regulary  you might forget how key elements of it work which would mean the end of it as well) :/

Wouldn't mean the end of it.... you have to deal with this all the time. You just have to refamiliarise yourself with the bits of the code you want to work on,

[xlibman]

That is the worst part I think (when I remade Mana Force for the CSE and added new features, it took me like a week to decipher what the original code did). And when I tried resuming Illusiat 13 6 years after it died, I gave up because I could no longer figure out which code was where >.<. Thankfully, with C you can comment your code, which isn't a viable solution in TI-BASIC since the comments overwrites Ans and slows the game down considerably.

[kotu]

It helps if you have your code neatly compartmentalised into different logical units, which perform different operations. In fact this is the only way you get anything advanced done - it's essential

I love this project, and i am very excited to see it continued!! Also, kotu, I have a CE and I am decent with image editing/creation, so i can help with creating sprites and stuff (I have helped @PT_ with some stuff for AoCE) so I can help if you need some!

That's really kind of you Pieman and thanks for your comments
With regards to the sprites... I think all the graphics are already taken care of (as far as I can remember), but thankyou

talking about motivation... can i have a dose of that? I have so many unfinished things

but anythings, kotu, have what little motivation i can spare!

[xlibman]

I wonder... Will it be possible in the options to change the color of our units and enemy units like in Starcraft and Warcraft? I thought I would suggest that since units are made of two colors, it seems. Regardless, I hope you find motivation to work on this again soon.

[kotu]

@DJ Omnimaga , i think that would complicate things too much, as there are actually 4 teams (or sides) involved in the game

[xlibman]

It's up to you. I was wondering since Starcraft has up to 8 teams (but then your color choices are very limited). Anyway I can't wait for the next updates

[kotu]

About time I made an announcement on this, basically, I am, at the moment, seriously doubting in my ability to complete this project, with a decent enough framerate, for various reasons, line-of-sight checks etc etc etc

HOWEVER, I think I will make it for PC first.

Then calc afterward (if it is possible).

It will be much faster for me to develop this for PC in C++, and the graphics will be better.

 

[xlibman]

I'm fine with a PC version. I really would like to see this finished. Maybe the PC version cluld allow mouse controls as well for faster gameplay. I tend to prefer strategy games where one turn doesn't last several minutes. I hope this comes to fruition, regardless of the final platforms

[kotu]

spoiler here for anyone waiting for a game that is actually going to be good, it's time for those hopes to be banished

kotu   there is going to be some delay between turns, because you have to wait to see how the trees evolve, and if this leads to any of your units falling out of cover.   23:35:44
kotu   leading to you having to reposition units   23:36:01
kotu   i guess there could be a time-skip mode, but the trees looks nice animated smiley   23:36:34
c4ooo   what   23:36:52
c4ooo   so your game is fought on the timescale of millions of years O.o   23:37:09
kotu   no the trees grow really quickly on this planet   23:37:42
kotu   faster than bamboo   23:37:47
c4ooo   ahh   23:38:05
kotu   the game never lasts longer than about 30 game years, for certain reasons.   23:38:07
c4ooo   you ment "grow" not evolve thought right...   23:38:16
kotu   yeah   23:38:27
kotu   its not alpha centauri   23:38:34
