HP Prime Projects

Yeah i hate it when that happens. After a few monbths you are just tired of a project and want to do something else

Yeah I had that happen sometimes too. Especially when I worked on Illusiat series. I would end up rushing the ending as a result to start a new game faster. But the rushed endings were also partly due to lack of RAM.

Maybe you could work on Minecraft

A super long rpg with a great storyline then boom! It ends without an explanation

[Dream of Omnimaga]

It's more like once the final battle is over, it literally says "The End" instantly, or at the very best with 1 screen of text. Some games have better endings but the Illusiat endings and especially the Mana Force 2002 ending are particularly bad.

Yeah I am focusing on MinePrime now (I have to look into the AI system learning and stuff, also I am dreading the program editor ) Does anybody know a way of detecting a new line in a string?

Code Select Expand


A:=1; //this is fine just look for the semicolon
If A==1 then //look for then
A:=2 //this doesn't need a semicolon to compile corectly so I can't detect when to make a new line :(
end; //this line and the previous line will get smooshed together because of the lack of the semi colon

Maybe @timwessman might know which character it is?

[alexgt]

It is the return character but I have no idea which one it is in the char menu

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Have you found some sort of arrow that is shaped like a L rotated 90° counter clockwise with an arrow to the left? Or maybe the carriage return symbol that looks a bit like a musical note backwards?

[alexgt]

This is what I mean when I copy a program and open the paste menu

[Unicorn]

That character shows up when I press enter on my Casio in the program editor... weird.

[alexgt]

What I am saying is that they appear there but they aren't there when I copy it to a string

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Ah that's strange. Maybe HP decided to disable parsing them?

[alexgt]

I think what I can do is just look for the new line part by making a new line in the source but this is not tested:

Code Select Expand


//Code
Looks for this: "
" //there is a new line in between the quotation marks
//Code


[Dream of Omnimaga]

The problem is that if those characters are not detectable, then the code above won't work either, right?

Also IIRC most calcs will think of line breaks as different lines of code.

[alexgt]

The compiler looks for the semicolon so I think it will work but I have yet to try it out xD

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Wait, it treats line breaks as semicolons? If it wasn't for certain lines of code not using a semi-colon at the end (eg IF instructions), then you could have made your program add line breaks at the end of semicolons.


Also, for your hockey game, something I thought that would be cool is if you tried making an actual hockey game but with 2 players on each side, one controled by the AI unless you switch to it. You could also make the field of play 3D mode-7-like like in Mac Bernicks's Trailblazer game.
