how can i make the game pong for the casio fx 1.0 plus????? thx

[octobclrnts]

Well, I am not sure of the syntax of the fx but the basic idea is that you make the ball go in a direction and be able to move the paddles up and down to hit it. This involves knowing and manipulating the coordinates of the ball so you can draw/erase/redraw the ball. Then you have to t&st to see if the user pressed a key to make a paddle move, and if they did then move the paddle by drawing/redrawing the paddle. Finally you have to t&st if the ball is hitting the paddle or an opponents wall. If it hits a wall then increase the score accordingly.

but i don't know how to do that. i have only made text games and it is only a 3x3 battle ship game soe if you know of a way that i can find the program off the internet then it would be greatly appreciated or if someone could just tell me how to make like "the wall", "the paddle", how to tell if they move the paddle and how to not let the ball go through the wall or the paddle thx

[CrimsonCasio]

nah, BASIC is the same on the CFX, AFX, and FX1.0

THX but one problem ... now i have to find my calc to program it into thx anyway

[Overlord]

A) wat do i press to do this ->
B)wat do i press for this =<
C) to start a new line do u use the shift exe thing? because i get a dim error and it says the error is rite where the thingy is....(im trying to program in snake)

-> : it's on your keyboard, above AC/ON
=< : it's the sign "less or equal", PRGM>REL><
new line : yes, it's EXE.

Dim error with what line ?

[octobclrnts]

If you post your code on this page then we can help you debug it

[octobclrnts]

The List_ command with the number 5. Also I think you mean to write

Q<=99=>(1,Q)->List5
(<= is one command in the prog->rel menu)
(also after (1,Q) you need the sto command, not a minus)

***now that I think about it, do you use the curly braces {1,Q}?

[huhn_m]

are you sure about the brackets. I thought they had to be

[ and ]

[octobclrnts]

I don't think that it will stop the Dim error, I just thought that might have been what you meant to write as you can't subract a list from a set of values (it doesn't make logical sense ).

One more thing to make your life easier...if you want to do a newline command in the prgm editor, you only have to press exe, not shift=>exe.

/r means that little r next to theta

@@ Program "MLEV3" ()

These must go in extra files with exactly the name that is in the quotes. So in this example the file is called "MLEV3" (without the quotation marks) and the content is:

Do not write this at the end of the main program.

[octobclrnts]

Does the program "MLEV1" already exist? If you haven't created it yet then there is nowhere for the main program to point to.

[octobclrnts]

I'm not sure why that is causing a syn error but you could rewrite it so that it would do the same thing with different code:

If List6[A] = 1
Then D->K
IfEnd

[CrimsonCasio]

i dont see List 6 initialized anywhere in there... but that would give a Dim error... hmm...

try replacing Isz D with D+1->D

Doesw this pong game run 'fast" on the 9850, because i dont want to waste time loading it up to my calc if its dum. Does it allow all angles for the ball to go, not just a lame 45 deg angle?

[genesis]

At least a 45 degree angle is better than 90 degrees. I tried to do something more complicated in text mode, but theres no point, games that involve physics are just too complicated on the CFX to be fast.

[dscoshpe]

I made a very good Breakout game (and I'm not just being biased towards myself) in the graphic mode that used the text "period" as the ball (if I remember right) and by placing the the ball display and erase at the right places in the game loop it made a very convincing tail effect. I was very proud of it.

The trick to getting non 45 degree angles in graphic mode are to have a maximum horizontal and vertical movement of, say, 3 pixels and vary between 0 and 3, so you get 4 levels of movement for each dimension. I used a simple math formula for this depending on brick type. To avoid the dreaded pure horizontal and pure vertical bounces I also added an addition, subtraction factor to the paddle. All very fast calculations that "simulated" real physics.

I'll search to see if I still have the source. I'll post it if I have it, otherwise, take my word for it. BTW - I'm not talking about my remake of casnoid which was in text mode.

[octobclrnts]

I think the problem is that is is hard to show the ball bouncing at all angles with so few pixels. You can surely calculate the angle but if it is really small or really big, the ball will appear to bounce at 90 deg.

[Andy.Davies]

just use plotOn, and PlotOff, they do the smae thing as Locate, but switch an individual pixel on/off

[huhn_m]

shift + PRGM and then there should be a question mark somewhere in the menu.

The \ is just for the program to let it know its a token. It mustn't show in the sources.

[huhn_m]

this is the tooken for the little black triangle that can also be found under SHIFT+PRGM (I think it was on the third page but I'm not sure)
