WizardBone

I been doing too much talking lol I'm gonna try my best to get an update by the weekend. Mostly an update on the level. Might not be the best update, but something more to look at. The level/city is probably twice it's size now.

Well jeez thanks mrBeefy! It's funny you say that, I had a convo with Jinroh a few weeks ago and I mentioned something like, it'd be cool to let t.r.a.s.h. evolve on other systems. Of course that's a time consuming dream lllolll as this is the first game I've programmed. But yeah I'm pretty sure after I get this one done for the 2600, i'll bump it to another system. But 2600 was the first system my dad ever bought for me lol, starting here has been fun.

Yea man, I rarely get notified when someone comments. I made it a habit to check myself now lol Hahaha you are now a cheerleader in my eyes BUT GOOD, I think we all need a lil push and few words sometimes. Programming can be hard on the brains

hahah that one made me laugh! I love the puns you guys make about/with trash. The bin was funny too I'm trying my best to get it done for yall! I got a few updates done actually. As much as I'd love to share, it all isn't really tied together proper yet because It's like little parts for different things here and there, to release as is, would be an odd thing to play loll. I'm glad there a few of you still watching! I know I'm not making a typical atari type game, but it's still fun to try and achieve a game I would be interested in! I do know for sure it will be 16k, no more, because of my sprite, playfeild and items. I got the last bank pretty close to the wire past week, so I wouldn't be able to get much more than I have now, so now I'm mainly just trying to bring it all together, there's lots I couldn't fit, and lots I managed to fit. Crosses fingers I can work it out all decent.

I need a name to release games under, that is not WizardBone. Can we change user names here? WizardBone was suppose to be wizardbones, with an S lolll for starters, my bad. But yeah, still would rather a better user name if it's to be associated with my games.

haha there ya go muddy, sprybug explained it well enough. Basically what I was hinting towards earlier. Did you try it out? I been wondering if you worked it out after or not.

Hmmm, when you say you need to split the number down I still think about the score because youcan split that 3 ways 00 | 00 | 00 Example above, that is how it splits. And then you can access just those three parts are separate numbers or combined, if you needed. It kinda is tens, hundred, thousands, Might be able to work with it. I'm trying to think of other ways though. By the sounds of how you explain, i'd just splt up the 6 digit socre in three parts. But you may think of a better way for your own methods. Hard to say hmmm Edit: Are you using sprites and playfields to show player input? Because that might be hard on resources. So again I go back to score, seems the numbers are already on screen. Random terrain site explains it better than I can, you would be looking for something like below, they do not take up precious variables either. _sc1 = score _sc2 = score+1 _sc3 = score+2

I'd admit I'm a little lost at what you are trying to do lol BUT, if I understand, you are looking for a way to give the player a number input so he can assign different amounts of people? Perhaps you can use the score? Something like joyUp and down will change the score number to be, the amount of people you want to use. the score can be broken into three sections to toy with, no idea if ANY of this has relevance to you lol Sounds interesting, not sure I am 100% what you are trying to do.

You been keeping the morale going with our few messages. It's good to have a place with like minded people willing to share knowledge

haha refuse is a good word, rarely hear that one.

AWESOME, glad you are picking up some time again. As you know I am waiting for yours as well BTW, I haven't checked out the link you sent me yet, but thanks for the info sir!

I'm excited to get next version done. Not exactly sure what I will call the next version. Maybe up to the boss? or maybe more. Gonna try and steal some time again the weekend. I been feeling the pull to work on it lately.

It has been raining for a couple days. So I been working on the game a bit. You can now walk into buildings, and a couple alley ways. Also been working on the first boss! Sorry no playable update yet, thought I'd mention it for anyone that has been following. Better something done than nothing (as planned for the summer, lol)

Yea, it's not exactly how I do it in my game. Could have been done better, just a vague example for him to start playing with. I typed that up on my dinner break lol, didn't have access to my actual game script at the time. Hopefully he got some idea, he never responded lol.

I am half new myself. I will make a suggestion but don't take my word for it lol I have a few things to learn myself. BUT, in my games this is how it works for now. I let the title screen loop, and if you press fire button you then go into the game. Fill in the code as you need, i'll leave it empty. Maybe it will help. titleScreen (fill in your title screen code here) Ex: COLUBK=$00 COLUPF=$00 pfheights: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 end playfield: ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ ................................ end if joy0fire then goto startEngine drawscreen goto titleScreen startEngine (build game code here.) return thisbank

It feels and looks solid! I haven't had much time to play yet. Will try it for real the weekend! Love the story of the game too!

Perfect. Glad that is the one you were trying. I been wondering how the original file played with the stick on hardware. People were having issues with the controls on the keyboard.

nice one! keep going.

OHHH that's nice to hear. I been thinking it might be worse on the D-pad. Bit of relief knowing it isn't completely breaking. Lots left to do, but don't wanna get bogged down re-doing things. Thanks for testing things out(again) Edit: I am not sure which version you are testing, now I think about it. There are Two here. I forgot that I changed the controls and posted in a comment for people to try. It is not permanent change, so I didn't add a link to the main post. A few of us were having a convo about what might be better, so I took some feedback and tried a different way. Lemme know which one you tried if you get a chance? The main one, or if you found the second one in the comments.

Hey Swami! thanks for playin! Glad you liked it. DAMN, that is one hell of a bug you found there haha. I'm so glad you found it.Not sure what causes it but great feedback! 100% not suppose to happen. You'd be able to cheat the entire game forsure like that loll

Thanks for testing that out Arenafoot! It's nice to know it at least works outside of stella. I haven't tested it any kind of hardware yet honestly lol. My Atari is in a different province haha So was it super jittery? Or much the same as it plays with Stella?

Hmm, I really have no idea. lol I guess someone could try. But right now I do not have the hardware to try. Sorry ZippyRedPlumber! IT would be cool though. I haven't used one, only seen.

Thank for you checking out my game MissCommand! Happy you think the sprites are cute : ) Yeah it is a lil awkward, still need to work on that a bit when I get back into it. Yeah the intro is super annoying to wait for haha Pressing fire to skip it will probably be added. Good point. Also it won't happen every time you die. Just loop back to the first scene again or something.

Haha I miss it too. Yeah, the garbage collecting would need to be redone to suit it better (if I leave it) Yeah you don't need too. I used to do it for the heck of it.But because you could walk up and down you could avoid instead of ducking.

I replied to this (didn't post it at all somehow) It's one of those things i'd have to try. I THINK it could work? but often I think things will work and the oddest things happen lol dual purpose might work well but might crack myskull. Edt: Still thinking about, and making sense the more I keep thinking about it. I don't think I read it correctly first lol
