+batari Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Here is Gingerbread Man source stripped of all game-specific code except the platformer engine itself. If someone wants to build a platformer based on this, go ahead. I figured the physics model and background detection might be useful to someone. I kept in the man sprite and second level screen data for illustration purposes, but please change these if you use this as a base for your own game. Variables f-z are free. Enjoy! platformer.bas platformer.bas.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks. Maybe I can use this as the skeleton for my platform game instead of reinventing the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 That's pretty impressive! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks! I assume the code will not work with the standard kernel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+batari Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 I modified the engine to work with the standard kernel. One uses Superchip RAM to allow a playfield with the same block size as the original, and another uses larger blocks as found in the standard kernel. I decided to optimize each for bankswitching, so the game loop is placed in the last bank. This reduces the number of cross-bank accesses when reading playfield blocks. This code should still work if you decide to add pfcolors or no_blank_lines. I also included a multisprite version optimized for bankswitching. platformers.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitfall_jerry Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Sorry if this is something simple but I am new to Batari Basic and am getting an error when trying to compile the samples you provided. The error is "Unknown Keyword: def". I have made a few changes to the playfield, but don't think that would cause an issue as I only changed a few "." to "X" keeping the correct number of characters in the line. Thanks.

Sorry - you need the latest build for that, and it's not yet on the website. To install, unzip the file where bB is installed and overwrite the 4 executables. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...t&id=114295 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to grab the latest from this thread but as you'll see at the end there are other issues using it. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit 2600 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Would be awesome with a version of this that worked with the none 64-bit version of VBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
