Jag CD Game?

[hedgie]

Okay, so let me start by saying I really do not mean to offend anyone.
But I'm pretty notorious for telling my partner that his Jaguar CD looks like a toilet seat.
SO what I have been dreaming of doing is having a game where you press a button and the toilet flushes.
That's it.
But I am incapable of learning to code or anything like that, I was wondering how complicated it would be, and really...where to even begin!

Thanks guys.

Nobody is. Grab RB+ and you could have that done in about 10 minutes, with about 4 lines of code. And you'll feel much better about yourself after you've achieved it, too

Thank you so much! I just downloaded the Zip for Basic+ and an updated version of it? I'm not 100% sure what it is here, but I got it from this forum.
I don't know where to start with this, but I feel confident I can learn before Christmas.

Locate some suitable graphics and a flush sound effect and have a read through the rb+ site. If you get stuck, just tell people how far you have got and you'll get some hints and tips no doubt.

 

Once you're done, making a CD image is simple, burning easier still.

What you want to do doesn't sound too complicated. Essentially you need to:

 

• Display a static pic. You can import the graphic as a bmp to rb+ and have it displayed on screen (assets.txt and rapinit.s)
• Scan the joypad for a button. Easy! (might be a bit complicated seeing there's 2 audio engines in there )
• Play a sample. For this you can import the sample from more or less any format you desire into rb+ (assets.txt) and play it (might be a bit complicated seeing there's 2 audio engines but nothing too bad)

So like sh3 said: gather your graphics and audio, read the tutorials on our website and try some stuff - it's not that hard!

get my rapinit.s list editor http://atariage.com/forums/topic/233057-raptor-list-designer/?p=3376138 and save yourself most of the work as it calculates most of the required fields

 

may i suggest a 16 bit image for this (image contains more that 256 colours), then you don't have to fanny about with CLUT numbers
