Getting back to unfinished games... Entry posted by PacManPlus May 15, 2011 2,608 views Share More sharing options... Followers 2 Ugh. My list of 'games-started-but-not-worked-on-in-a-while' is getting bigger. After Meteor Shower is completed, I'd like to get back to Frenzy but I have all of these in total: Frenzy BattleZone Bob I *hate* not finishing things... 2
tremoloman2006 329 Posted May 18, 2011 Wow! Each one of those titles looks great! May I beg and ask that you finish Frenzy first? It is one of my all-time favorites and your mock up looks incredible! Quote Link to comment
Corby 939 Posted July 2, 2011 cool your doing Battlezone!!! Is it going to be a XM game?? Quote Link to comment
PacManPlus 9,826 Posted July 2, 2011 It would have to be for the extra memory. I have the screen set up as a line buffer from the bottom of the score area down. I have a line drawing routine that is a bit slow ATM. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
DracIsBack 1,608 Posted July 7, 2011 Looking forward to seeing Battlezone in action! Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment
GroovyBee 4,742 Posted July 7, 2011 I have a line drawing routine that is a bit slow ATM. The line routine is still on my list of things to help you out with. I was looking at it again the other day. Quote Link to comment
EricBall 239 Posted July 7, 2011 One line drawing algorithm I learned from T.A. Goldthorpe dx = x1 - x0 dy = y1 - y0 qx = abs(dy) // note the reversal qy = abs(dx) q = min( qx, qy ) cx = x0 cy = y0 do plot( cx, cy ) qx = qx - q if ( qx < 0 ) qx = qx + abs(dy) cx = cx + sgn(dx) endif qy = qy - q if ( qy < 0 ) qy = qy + abs(dx) cy = cy + sgn(dy) endif while ( cx != x1 && cy != y1 ) plot( cx, cy ) Note: this is from memory / off the top of my head. I remember the basic idea, but have to work out the details anew each time I want to use it. Another line drawing algorithm I created myself was recursive binary subdivision. Quote Link to comment
PacManPlus 9,826 Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks, Eric - I'll give that routine a try. Quote Link to comment
