Guest muff Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 What about a conversion Of Space Invaders DX,, it has two player mode and a New Zealand Story, mode.. Will be easy doing the Newzealnad mode, two play might be a problem.... Retro... :lol: I had a look at DX after seeing this post, and it's basically a miriad of option to play the original game none of the single player games are much different in gameplay terms, just different graphics as for 2 player mode, well that's gonna be kinda tight on the phone keyboard :lol: I've just uploaded V1.0 of the straight SPVInvaders though, so we'll see what happens in the future with other games :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adrianfox Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Being a bit picky but I noticed that on the arcade version there is no sound effect when your missile collides with an alien bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adrianfox Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 muff You mentioned some time ago that you may post the source code to one of your games. Is there any chance of this happening. I wouldn't mind converting an old arcade game (as the winter months approach and I have to put the Fireblade in mothballs) but being a bit of a lazy coder I wouldn't mind a spring board. Anyway thanks for the excellent game -when can we expect galaxians? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lisann Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 omg! I actually inspired someone!!! That has to be a first... thanx man :wink: never mind my mum... I cant stop playing on it! I havn't actually broke the news to her yet. Going to see her 2morrow so i'll let you know what she thinks. :lol: ttfn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway thanks for the excellent game -when can we expect galaxians? ;-) releasing source code is still a definate possibility though wether it will be one of the full games, or a smaller scaled down one that is just for learning, I haven't decided yet (I may even get around to writing a site for this sort of stuff - but that's a big maybe) as for galaxian, not sure if you're joking, but I did get a reasonable way into a galaxian clone one night last week (quite a way actually), but it now looks as though it may transform into something new, you'll just have to wait and see :lol: as for the missiles hitting bombs not making a sound, hmm ok, well spotted - I'm unlikely to update for that, but I will start a list of minor quibbles though that may get sorted out in a future version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akarno Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 muff, I have just been playing SPVMan and have another suggestion for that and Invaders. With some of the emulators, when you exit, it remembers where you were up to and next time you go in it carries on from where you left off. This is really useful on a phone where you may just dip in for a few minutes or may get a call in the middle of a game. Any chance of implementing this on Invaders and SPVMan.

Any chance of implementing this on Invaders and SPVMan. hiya it's on a list of things that may get added after both games are at a 'complete' stage I dont think it's too difficult to do (should just be an extension of the pause code - though there could be complications with SPVMan's internal timers), it's just low on the priority list right now muff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adrianfox Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Well done muff. I'll check out when I get home. Can you comment on your approach to coding these quality games? Do you use C or C++? Which libraries do you use (if any?). I would like to do Rally-X when I get the time. I know quite a lot about window/C++ etc, but have never coded up games, although I did port the 2600 emulator to the SPV. p.s. there is a different explosion graphic for missile hitting bomb and the invaders don't appear instantly but are drawn a row at a time bottom to top. ... sorry, but I know what a perfectionist you are ;-) [edit] - I see you spotted the different graphic.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Muff just a word of warning, someone has released your version in a .cab format, nice but it appears to be poorly written :lol: So if anyone moans that they have the .cab version and they choose install to Storage card but it still installs to the phone. It's not the file that's for download in this link. I have had a few questions about this now so I thought I'd post about it. I just hope the person who made the cab asked for permission first.

I presume so, I'm waiting on conformation first, but if it is the more annoying part (when I last looked) is that there is no credit given to the author ie you and Mboden (for doom) At least mono asks and gives credit where it's due.
