Casio Arkanoid
April 30 2007 by Menno





Arkanoid/Breakout clone. Release version 3. This gamer features infinite levels, 5 speedsettings, a pause button, a teacher/boss button and 8 different bonus/ powerups. I did a complete remake after the CasioKingdom contest. I took the jury's comments serious and tried to complete the game as they suggested .

Buttons:

EXE = Do, start
Arrow up = fire ball
arrows left/right = move paddle
shift = boss/ teacher button (F1 exits)
optn = pause game
exit = exit game

Power-ups:

Heart = extra life
Skull = lose a life
10 = ten extra points
S = Slow paddle
F = fireball, breaks through all bricks
M = Magnetic bat
L = Long bat
N = goto next level

every time you level up you gain a life

there are 5 fixed levels, after that the levels are generated random.

Have fun

Hi, your game seems great.
I want to ask how you (and other) could make addins for FX-9860?

[Menno]

With the SDK supplied by casio

come to casiokingdom for more code snippets and stuff

[The Legendary Wind]

Ah, I've found it, so bad the SDK is C/C++/asm not visual ... I will try to make some games .

Hey All,

Finally it is finished I completely revised Arkanoid. It now features 10 different bricks and one brick representing the power-ups. The game has been changed in quite a few ways.

First and most important change is the fact that multiple power-ups can drop at the same time. Also more power-ups can be activated at the same time, so you can have a long bat that is magnetic. Also each power-up has its own countdown counter. Every active power-up is shown in the right corner below (a L for long pad, M for magnetic pad, F for fireball, S for slow ball).

Another addition is the aiming mode, every time the ball is stopped (entering a new level, starting a new life and in magnetic mode) you can aim the ball using the up and down arrows.

Oxinabox requested an extra “Are you sure” dialogue when exiting the game, so that has been added also.

There are 7 designed levels, after that the levels are generated random, so the levels are infinite.

Key map:

EXE: Goto next screen
EXE: Fire Ball
UP/Down: Aim ball
Left/Right: Move pad
Menu: Exit dialogue (exit key exits, EXE returns to game)
VARS: overall gamespeed (specially for CPUSPEED users)
OPTN: Pause screen
SHIFT: Teacher/Boss screen (from here you can also shut down the calc)
AC: cheat to next level (all points of the previous level are added)

Power-up:

Heart: extra life/pad
Skull: lose life/pad
P: 100 extra points
L: extended pad
M: magnetic pad
S: game slows down
F: fireball
N: skip to new level

The power-ups have been changed to,

“fireball mode” every block value is added to the points (in the previous version you’d get 1 point for every block destroyed)

“P” in the previous version you’d get 10 points, now you get 100

“N” when going to next level, all the remaining points of the skipped level are added. (the AC button causes the same effect)

“S” in the previous version only the pad slowed down, now the whole game slows down.

I hope you all enjoy it

And, again please rate my games, I like ratings….

menno ... I do not like to say this, but would you please stop posting links to sites that require registration.

I do not mean to offend you, but the whole registration model of ck and you only uploading your games there
seems a lot like advertising to me (even more so since we have our own file sharing). Please refrain from posting these
or give us permission to upload your files to the filesharing ourselves (if it is too much work for you) and then update your links.

We do have nothing against other forums, but we do not need people who force our members and readers to register elsewhere.

Please respect that. Thanks.

[Menno]

I never said you guys can't upload yourself, in fact i told otherwise, and another thing, advertising is BS i do not earn money with this, i just wanted to keep things overseeable for myself, and uploading to three different sites everytime i do an update became quite some work...

but if you are not interested, it is allright with me, i will not inform about updates or new games anymore.

[huhn_m]

thats not what I said.

I don't say we are not interested. Its just very user unfriendly to require registration.

Just look at cks stats. 3000 users (twice as many as UCF) and 5000 posts (an eight of UCFs) ... where might this massive amount of users come from.

But if you give permission to upload it to the FS (giving credit to you of course!) then everything is fine with me

I don't care about user amounts at all, what i do mind is user ratings, and in that respect the model of CK is what i like, also black is my kind of color

But in all respect, all my software is free from any rights, i made it and thats it. I do not care where and who uploads it at all. I have a similar deal (i hope (i dont understand french to well wehehehehehe )) with jeuxcasio and with CasiGo. What i would like is when you guys upload to UCF is that you redirect to the thread conceirned. So it is clear for me what eventual bugs are and i don't have to wander around twelve different sites before i know if someone has found a problem, bughunting is very intensive work (like in casio billiards) and my time is very limited ( i have a fulltime job and a wife).

@huhn_m: I think Menno is right, It is very boring when you come to every site to download just an addin and dont know which file is the most updated.

[huhn_m]

but there already was a version on the forum...
also then there should be a possibility to download it without registration.

This is actually my only point of critics. Do not require registration
and I'm fine with linking to ck. Else I do not actually like it




ok. I updated it.

[Menno]

So what is our deal? Do i have to PM you when i make an update or can i start a topic on a new application or continue an existing thread? I cannot change the model of CK, i am a simple mod there and i do not decide about the registration isue. I understand your issue's but i hope you understand mine too...

[huhn_m]

of course I do understand you.

PM me, post, continue topics, do as you like. I watch the forum anyways. Link to CK if you like. I will then get the update, put it in the FS and modify your post so it has the link to the fs as a download link in addition to your ck link. Is this fine with you?

[Menno]

Yes i do so, there is no problem anymore?

i am glad, cause programming games is just a hobby for me, and if other people like my games, the more it makes me happy. I do not program games to get into problems with anyone whatsoever... And i like UCF so getting into a fight with an admin/mod was the least i was hoping to get

[huhn_m]

I did never want to fight. Sorry if my first post was a bit too agressive. I just want the best solution for our members

[Menno]

Update:
- AC no more skips to next level, now you can choose your start level at the beginning
- thicker pad
- slow powerup now only slows down pad
- cosmetics
