It has been nearly 2 months since starting of the C/Asm and Basic game competition.
So I'd like to know what is the progress of the game developement of all participants.
Ofcourse, do not say what your game will be just mention about the progress and your feelings about finishing the game.

I am mostly interested in C/ASM category, but Basic programmers can reply too.

My developement state:
90% main game engine (essential stuff)
80% graphics
10% minor game code
0% game menus
0% quality assurance

I am quite sure that game will be finished on time (before december). I need do all those less important, but still quite affecting the gameplay stuff.

[Bob Vila]

i'm about 40-60% done with mine

[casiokingdom]

i've finished one game and a quarter finished my second. i haven't decided which one to submit. Perhaps the first (i think it's more original)

BTW: which one rates better: 1) originality or 2) story line (rpg)

[huhn_m]

Have done about 20% till now, have big problems with the engine!
Think I'll get it. graphics are 40% Done.

Stats:

Engine: 15%
Graphics: 40%
Storys&Maps: 0%
System drivers: 80%
Menus: 40%
QA: Done while dev. so till now: 95% (some minor bugs)

Overall: 20-25%

Casio has had my calc for over a month and now that I finally have it back I have to send it back in to get my OS back I sent them a letter today to confirm that they would fix it. An emulator sure would be nice

[Andy.Davies]

if ur calc is a CFX then i suggest you have a look at caioCOM as that has a built in emulator, as well as code highlighting, password cracker, mattix and list viewer, and program size info.

[casiokingdom]

i use it from time to time, but it occasionally performs and illegal command and freezes up my computer. Besides the who needs a emulator when you have your calc right beside you.

[AlephMobius]

The point of the post is I dont have my calc right beside me. I guess you didnt see my post. Its an AFX so Im screwed for naother month most likely.

[Roeoender]

How about other programmers?
There were more participants, please reply.

Good to see such a fine advancement c@siomax!
And good to know that you want to push the technology barrier a bit further.

Hey, people report!
Roeoender.

[C@siomax]

hey roeoender, I think you'll really LOVE this game

[Roeoender]

And I think that some of you, Frenchies, will love mine!
Respect,
Roe*.

[casiokingdom]

The game i have finished is a multiplayer game. My friends enjoyed it, so i hope Crimson likes it too.

The competition sure is intense!

[Andy.Davies]

multiplayer? do u mean as in two calcs joind via link cable? i didn't think that was possible to do in run time

[casiokingdom]

no, i mean using one calc but taking in turns. you'll see when i release it.

[Andy.Davies]

cool, i look foward to it

[casiokingdom]

BTW: andy, i have added a link to your site in my links section.

[huhn_m]

but I think c@siomax ment via a cable.

Mine will be multiplayer too. (in fact it will only be multiplayer but have a TSR as BOT ... )

Fixed some mjor problems with the game engine ... so update:

Engine: 25%
Graphics: 50%
Storys&Maps: 5%
System drivers: 85%
Menus: 40%
QA: Done while dev. so till now: 90% (some more minor bugs)

Overall: 25-30%

[Andy.Davies]

remember, that using the send( and Recive( command wont work from calc to calc, only from calc to Pc, or calc to casio printer. sorry, to put a downer on your plans

[C@siomax]

yea I mean with a cable, but you can play with bots too on just one calc ^^ (you can add bots even if you're using cable for more fun )

[huhn_m]

remember, that using the send( and Recive( command wont work from calc to calc, only from calc to Pc, or calc to casio printer. sorry, to put a downer on your plans 

.. but it works on the AFX if you program in ASM/C

[C@siomax]

I'll test link ability tomorrow, but I've done a good part of the interface ^^

[Andy.Davies]

@ huhn_m: does that mean i can conunicate with a CFX and an AFX, or is it only AFX to AFX communication?

[huhn_m]

In theory you can also communicate AFX->CFX but this would need one half of the prog made in ASM and the other made
in BASIC and you would need a GOOD sync since basic is simply too slow...

[Brazzucko]

I already finish my game, and everyone ho already play the demo just love my game, they looks like a C++ game but is a BASIC game.

[Roeoender]

Good,good,good.
It would be even better if people that make BASIC games for the comp check if their game works good on other models (I have AFX and long ago, before C/ASM "era" I wanted to see some of the Basic games but those that was made on CFXs didn't work correctly).
Ofcourse you are not obligated to do it (working on your model is sufficient for the comp).
In another topic you can discuss the incompatibilities of BASIC between models.
Roeoender.

[huhn_m]

I just want to bring up this topic again.

A lot of people in Basic category have not submited their games.
Can you tell us how far you were/are in dev. process? Just for curiosity.
And the asm/c (like me) can reply too.

Engine: 40%
Graphics: 70%
Storys&Maps: 5%
System drivers: 95%
Menus: 80%
Mouse & Keyboard handler: 100%
Computer Applications: 95%

Networking: 60%

QA: Done while dev. so till now: 95% smile.gif

Overall: 60%-70%

I have to say that my game will probably only be multiplayer at release date (1.12.2003) since
i won't have enough time to code the ai.
Anyways the ai is an externel program. Anyone can write his own when i say you the specs.
I'll make the plugin interface till the final version.

PC Applications include till now: Graphics Editor (Tiles Editor) and MAP editor. They both work fine.

Executable size: ~37KB
Compressed size: ~9KB
Current Version: 0.24
Last stable version: 0.24
Latest changes: 01.11.2003

[casiokingdom]

I have finished and submitted my game, at least a month ago.

[Bob Vila]

i didnt finish my game had to much school crap going on trying to make up 4 days of school that i missed but maybe when i get all caught up i will finish it

[casiokingdom]

Well, you can't submit your game even if you finish. Yet, i'll still want to play it if the CFX can.

BTW: Do you have Yr11 exams soon?

[Bob Vila]

i know i cant submit it to the comp, but i want to release it for the public anyhoo. and yes it is for the cfx

and by exams do you mean finals? because those arnt until almost thanksgiving but i have tests all the time

[mastermage]

Well, I must submit my game in 1 month:

Graphics Engine: 50%
Game Engine: 20%
Graphics: 0%
Maps: 0%
Menus: 0%

[Andy.Davies]

good luck! need to program night and day...

[casiokingdom]

he has been during the past week, but know mm is back to uni. No more free time!

[genesis]

Like I have a right to complain about my tests ! It's a good thing I'm not in year 11, just to think that my cable breaking just before my exams . By all these percentages it looks like the AFX competition is going to be big.

NOTE: Why doesn't my signature work, It's on Crimson's server, same as other members? It stays there for a day and then gets wiped off.

[CrimsonCasio]

you probably have the img in your sig looking at your old site.

[genesis]

It's because of all this capital letters jumbo, I try to be neat and this is what it leads to!

[CrimsonCasio]

hehe, yeah, its screwed me up once or twice too...

[Andy.Davies]

yeah, my site on crimson s server didnt work, but i then changed Index.htm to index.htm and it worked damm caps sencitive :motz:
