Title: LadyBug
Post by: Ivoah on April 08, 2016, 01:48:08 AM
While browsing around on itch.io today, I ran across this gem: https://kingpenguin.itch.io/ladybug
I highly recommend you give it a go, it's super fun.

It is super-fun! I gave it a go, as you suggested.
I might make a first-level playthrough video if I find time. :)

That looks fun to play but hard O.O (you run into an enemy every second, according to the animation in the page)

It depends on how fast you play. It's not really that fast paced, only if you have a fast computer and you are playing like an expert.

EDIT: Here's a video I made that explains. :)

Wait @Dudeman313  do you mean the game speed is dependent on your computer speed?
Title: Re: LadyBug

Sort of. It varies a little, but is generally the same speed everywhere.
That video shows the speed on a Windows 10 Pro Lenovo Thinkpad x61s, but it is a bit faster on our school computers.

Try it. :)

Yep I did now and it's quite fun, but the controls to climb walls are a bit akward to get used to. It might be because I tried playing on a keyboard, though. I also laughed when the enemies started killing each others. :P

I enjoyed it, but I can't get past the (third?) level, the one with the lighting zappers.

It must be a later level because I swear I reached level 4 and did not encounter those. I'll check again later, though.

Would this game be feasible for the 84+CE?

Probably, the men are just turrets that doesn't move, so you would just need bullets and some physics. Maybe I'll attempt this... :P

It is fun, but you can use Z or C for crouching/climbing based on preference.

The one you have to crouch jump? If it's that, my video shows most of it.

I'd like to see the outcome. It seems like the perfect kind of thing to port, and you might be able to use part of Crystann to do it.

I actually have since gotten past that, I'm on the 5th level now :)

What about Portal Returns engine?
Title: Re: LadyBug
Post by: Dudeman313 on May 06, 2016, 08:45:24 PM
Oh yeah! That too. Probably better to use that.
Title: Re: LadyBug
Post by: Unicorn on May 07, 2016, 08:51:19 AM
Except for the fact that portal returns is in ASM. Though mateo did make a way to change tiles..
Title: Re: LadyBug
Post by: Dream of Omnimaga on May 10, 2016, 05:35:13 AM
Oh, I forgot it was in ASM. I always assume that CE games are in C, but then I forget that many of the older games are ports of ASM games for the CSE.

Else, there is always the solution of using TI-BASIC or hybrid TI-BASIC but the game would need to be altered significantly.
Title: Re: LadyBug
Post by: Dudeman313 on May 12, 2016, 05:22:47 PM
Oh yeah. Very significantly.

Yeah, that is an easy mistake to make...

I bet re-creating something like this wouldn't be so hard, you just need a physics engine... And oh  yeah, in later levels the guys move around O.O

Post by: Dream of Omnimaga on May 20, 2016, 06:33:25 PM
Yeah true. That said nothing stops the programmer from modifying the game a bit to get around the engine limitations :)

They do?? O.O
I haven' t played in quite some time. I also wish that the game saved which level you were on, or had some sort of checkpoint.
Title: Re: LadyBug
Post by: Unicorn on May 22, 2016, 08:06:04 AM
Yeah, it is anoying, but once you beat a level 2-3 times you get the hang of things.
Title: Re: LadyBug
Post by: Dudeman313 on May 22, 2016, 08:13:32 PM
Yeah. I think the highest level I've gotten to is either 6 or 7 though. I need to find time to play it again.
