GoSub for INTV

[catsfolly]

OK, all the levels have been designed. I needed to change a level due to a bug about collision detection on walls when the sub's periscope touches it and you turn the other way and it crashes. I don't know what's causing that. Anyway, next task is making the ending. The game is 14k, so I have 1.5k to work with to create two separate endings: one for using the warp and one for completing it starting from level 1.

It looks like the gram pattern for the sideways sub body has somehow gotten too tall.

 

Normally the sub body and tail look like this:

rem 50  sub body
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "## #### "
	BITMAP "########"
	BITMAP " # # # #"
	BITMAP "########"
	BITMAP "## #### "

rem 54 sub periscope
	BITMAP " ###    "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "		
	BITMAP "        "

But for some reason, the sideways versions currently look like this:

rem 55    sub periscope
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "		
	BITMAP "        "
 rem 56  sub body
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "

So, when the sub turns sideways, the body graphic overlaps the seaweed and causes a collision.

 

I think the body should be:

rem 55   sub periscope   
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "		
	BITMAP "        "
 rem 56  sub body
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "        "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "
	BITMAP "   ##   "

is the ending going to show your octopi counter so a picture can be taken to "show off"?

[+atari2600land]

I moved the messages and re instituted the octopi counter at the end.

You know what would really drive an OCD-player like me crazy? If you included at the end a "deaths counter."

 

That will really force me to try to get the highest number of octopuses with the least number of deaths.

[wolfy62]

This is actually a great idea DZ, only you folks know if that is possible or not.

 

I love this!

[freewheel]

Should be pretty trivial to add a death counter. And highly obnoxious. Great idea

Can someone create a skull and crossbones icon using only 8x8 if I do this?

[pimpmaul69]

how about this?

 

with a border so you can see what is in the pic above

 

or a skull from a profile view

these both can be done in 8x8. i personally like the skull from a profile view

 

or a front view like this

 

in blown up view

a profile facing the other direction i think this way is best since he would be facing the counter

Edited November 26, 2014 by pimpmaul69

[pimpmaul69]

third front facing option shown but could not comment as i ran out of allowed time to post

[pimpmaul69]

cant do both in 8x8. i will try crossbones and see what 2 cards can make

[pimpmaul69]

here is what i can do in 2 cards

 

and in 3 cards

I like best the last one you provided, skull6.jpg.

Oh! Either of those.

[pimpmaul69]

yeah im not sure how many cards he has/can work with. i am ocd unfortunately about my artwork, my repair/modifications and anything else i create/fix that i keep trying until i am satisfied.

noticed a mess up in the 3 card pic

[catsfolly]

Here's my attempt to fit it into an 8 by 8.

i was so caught up in details that i didnt realize i could do this. I have made graphics for several games but none with such a pixel limitation. Lesson learned. you have a LOT of experience in this department. hopefully i can learn to be less ocd about the details be able to be more creative with the pixel limitations. Of course i'm hoping he still uses my pic. Edited November 26, 2014 by pimpmaul69

[pimpmaul69]

i am not trying to step on your toes catsfolly or steal your work but a suggestion/idea, you could use a bigger crossbones with your smaller skull as well.

(this idea is out of my ocd for uniformity. in this case every bone pixel set creates a more perfect set of "jagged" bones)

or even the bigger one for that matter. even though i dont like it as much.

just cause im bored and ocd, here is a better version of my 3 card jolly roger

[pimpmaul69]

slowest day ever here on atariage. i was bored and my skull needed his body to truly feel complete. cant decide which middle view would be better in a game

 

 

alright im done adding crap to your thread. sorry to get bored and off topic.

im looking at your level there and all i can say is: are you insane?? that is one mad level. Looks cool though.

[+atari2600land]

OK. Death counter added. I'm at 15.0k so I still have a little bit of room to add a little ending tune.
