Hi everyone! I tried to program a Worms for CPLua.
You can download it here:Lua_Worms_Eng.rar
And if you are French... Lua_Worms_Fra.rar

This is just a test program, so don't expect a wonderful game!
I need some functions which are not yet in CPLua, but that doesn't matter. I'll program it in C++, it's better!

Ok, no comments. I just want to say that you are wrong: I don't hate games. Will you dare to confront me in Half-Life 2 or StarCraft? I'm really tough in these games.

I really like your sense of humor . But, unfortunately, ClassPad's CAS is not powerful, and I think you know it...

C++ is rotten. Use Fortran 95 if you want to write something serious.

Nice work Kilburn, I'm gonna test it soon

Thinking about that, I have got a video of the full game HL?, completed in only 2h15. It took me more than 2 days to complete it What about you?

It took me two days to finish HL? as well (but in the hard level, saving the game status often). If you are suspicious, try to beat me, if you dare . I'm not a gamer, but HL? has a perfect gameplay, and excellent graphics. That's why I'm not interested in ClassPad games, btw

HL? : Lost Coast is coming soon btw

But let's stop polluting Kilburn's topic

I'd like to see them write HL2 or Starcraft in Fortran.

=) the english version seems to be in french, nice game Kilburn, also PAP has the reason the CAS is not good and slow in some aplications compared whit the voyage 200

Orwell must be the owner of a camera (like the one given in the contest) or something better for CPLua

I'd like to see them write HL2 or Starcraft in Fortran.

Fortran is mainly a mathematical programming language that facilitates programming mathematical applications. It is simply not suitable for game programming (although it can be done; I've seen OpenGL programs written in Fortran). But Fortran is not made for this, and ClassPad is not a game platform as well. What I said about the "rotten C++" was obviously a joke, as an answer to Kilburn's joke.
The CPLua interpreter is fast enough to write games, but, if the game is complex, the interpreter shows its limitations, concerning speed. It is, however, much faster than CP Basic. If you are not using the SDK, CPLua is currently the best way to write a game for ClassPad, for whoever is interested to do so.

I know Fortran is a mathematical language, my remark was obviously a joke as well
I'm sure the Lua interpreter is more than fast enough to execute most game logic. For most games, all that's needed would be a fast sprite library that can be accesses from Lua, with drawing, loading, moving, colission detection, etc.

Every language, or every language paradigm, has its place, and mathematical programs aren't the only "serious" programs
While Fortran makes it easier to write the mathematical logic, it doesn't make any difference to the final user of the application which language it's been written in. On a platform like the classpad, I don't think you can rely on a language like Fortran (or Lua) for really heavy operations... you need to go lower level to squeeze more performance out of the limited hardware.

I was not serious!

[Kilburn]

Here is a new version: Lua_Worms.rar
I included a secret cheat code which gives 2000 points to each worm and allow you to use 4 new weapons.

But you will have to search it in the source code... I won't tell it to you!

[Kilburn]

ok, ok, I'll tell you the code, it is simple:
In the menu press these buttons:

Down,Down,Down,Up,Up,Up,Down,Down,Up,Up,Down,Up,EXE

Now you have unlocked the secret mode.

[Kilburn]

Is there somebody here?

[Orwell]

Yes, but quite busy

[omegavirus]

si leo kilburn y si me gusta tu juego espero hagas un add in de el.

no se que dice Orwell pero me imagino que es que solo posteamos si tenemos algun problema con algo pero no para felicitar =)

Good Game kilburn, made in the best add-in of the class pad made by Orwell (Casio's redentor)
