[TI-83+/84+] Lazer 2 [axe]

Download the latest version of Lazer II: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/464/46490.html
Well, after close to a year of direct / indirect work, it seems that Lazer II is just about done. Lazer 2 is a cool laser puzzle simulator game, where you must spin mirrors, using portals and buttons to your advantage, in order to make one or more lasers hit the target(s). The concept is similar to <that one laser game>, but there are major gameplay differences. (For example all lasers are shot simultaneously)
Lazer II is a sequel/rewrite to the TI-Basic game, Lazer I, which can still be found here. As the level editor is going to be released next weak, (it will be part of the main file) I may fas well call this project "done"

(That makes two done projects for me

)
Lazer 2 adds the following to Lazer 1:

Re-Writen in axe, every thing faster!
Greyscale
Level packs
level editor
Switches and gates

Read the readme.txt for how to play the game

I would like to thank@Runer112 for the greyscale code and @chickendude for bug testing

Good job on this so far, or is it complete already? I like how it looks like, even better than the original, and the use of the grayscale is nice.

Mind if I clone this topic in the file downloads archives? (which consists in making this topic show up in multiple forum categories at once)

The core mechanics are mostly all done, but the game has few levels

Looks great, I am letting a friend loan my 84+ so I will put a game or two on it and this might be one

It's approved now. I'll give it a try when I have a chance. Also that last typo could be interpreted in various ways

u/c4ooo September 10, 2015, 07:11:06 PM

erm... i think i see what you are getting at

But "aorn" is a contraction for "as of right now".

u/Snektron September 10, 2015, 08:02:07 PM

ohh that looks sweet

I will try it out soon

Oh I see. It's the first time I ever see this acronym being used.

I havnt bean programming latly do to lack of time/energy/motivation, but today i added a new feture allowing the laser to optionaly traval at 2 pixels per frame. I plan on having 4 different speed setting (1pxl/frame with pause, 1pxl/frame, 2pxl/frame with pause, 2pxl/frame) There is a way to make the lazer go slower in the current version by pressing the enter button, but its mostly a debug feature, and not well made.

u/Dream of Omnimaga October 04, 2015, 07:30:24 PM

Sorry to hear about your motivation/time/etc, glad to see a new update though

. Speed settings seems like a cool idea.

u/c4ooo October 18, 2015, 11:00:18 PM

Bump
I have released the third version, v2.2.
Here is a changelog:
+MAD optimization
+Over 20 new levels, but maybe more

+Pressing [ + ] will make the lasers go 2 pixels at a time, and [Enter] will pause it.
+The game now requires only 1500 bytes at run time, which is a less arbitrary number then 2000B was

+Minor visual improvements
+Level name can be seen in the level selection menu.
The game itself looks relatively the same as before... so no need for a screenie.

ticalc.org is still aproving, so you guys might have to wait a few days before you can try it out

Glad to see new levels. I need to try the new version when it comes out.

Will level packs with no level names still be supported?

Thanks

No, nameless levels are not supported, but you can use a space. When i actually make a level editor, (hopefully soon) i can also make an option for a "nameless level", where it will automaticly place either a space, or a FE char, which is a black dot. (the last 8 or so chars in the char set are black dots, but i cant use the FF char because that is a special byte in the level loading code)

So if anyone made level packs before, then he now needs to remake them due to lack of name support being phased out? I guess it's ok if no one has made levels yet, but otherwise, could you make it like MirageOS programs that lack a description?

Ehh?
I think we are on different pages

No one has made packs before because there was never an editor

Also levels are stored in a custom format, and it would be much easier to have the editor insert a random invisible char then to test if a name exists

(Although now that I think of it I don't think that anything will fail if the save file lacks names)

Originally I planed to have the ability to have many custom packs, as well as several official ones, but I think the best that will happen is the ability to edit from a max of 225 levels $:-\$ At least there I still plan an editor.
