I'm being graded on my creativity, presentation, and how much knowledge I show pertaining to the book. The version that I'll release will have the book-related things replaced with story elements. But trust me on this: I WILL DO GOOD! I'm an 8th grader. No one else in my grade knows how to do this, so I'm almost guaranteed a good grade.

oh, i believe you! i hope you don't mind me asking, and i'm unsure whether or not you answered this before, but what IS your source material? what book are you reading in class?

how does one go about doing this?

Does anyone know where I can find the QR code for petit farm?

Oh it was just some mythology-based book. I've always loved mythology. I think it was The Serpent's Shadow. lol I find it kinda funny. They say I have an 11th grade to college reading level, but I still enjoy the books based on mythology most. You'd think that I'd prefer more mature books.

It was quite simple. The damaging is simple sprite collision. As for the movement, I did two things. For the first enemy, I made it so that the variables corresponding to the sprite's position would always be trying to be equal to the variables used for the player's position, but only when you moved. This causes it to move towards you whenever you move.

As for the second enemy, I just gave it random movements. However, this is actually the more complex AI. To keep the movements from becoming a jittery mess, I gave it a variable. When this variable was less than or equal to zero, a new direction was assigned through @labels. This also brought the ever-decreasing variable's value to 45, causing it to keep with the movement for a bit.

It's a bit hard to explain. The best thing you can do is just look at the coding once the game is done. It isn't too complex.

Thankyou very much. I have been meaning to give it a try for a while.

I know this is spamming but please answer me!!! Its like everyone just scrolled through it...

Huh, I thought I had answered that, but I don't see my post. Anyways, using PTCUtilities, it doesn't just allow you to draw GRPs using it, but you can also import image files, and it'll optimize the color palette down to 255 colors (1 color reserved for transparency), so you could basically use whatever drawing program you want.

oh, i think i understand your basic concept, at least. i think my main problem is executing the code! i don't think i understand Sprite Collision D: (that's a cry for help towards the forum)

cool thanks

For a while, I didn't either. Here's an example of it:

IF SPHITSP(0,1)==TRUE THEN GOSUB @DAMAGE

oh, i think i see. i didnt know SPHITSP was supposed to be used in an IF-THEN statement! so once you GOSUB to @DAMAGE, that's where you make the enemy disappear from damage, right?

It was just an example, but that's about right. I think @DAMAGE means the player gets damaged in my game, because sprite 0 (player) and sprite 1 (enemy) collided.

i've tried using this example after establishing two sprites on the screen, but i can't seem to make the enemy disappear. i can move around freely, so the only problem is not being able to do anything with collision. when i GOSUB to @DAMAGE, i make the enemy disappear with SPCLR, then return. so, when i collide with the sprite, it should disappear, right? well instead of that, it disappears at the beginning of the program! i'm not sure what else to do now.

well instead of that, it disappears at the beginning of the program! i'm not sure what else to do now.

That's probably because you have SPCLR in your main loop. Put it somewhere else and have a gosub go to it and return, only if the sprites collide.

It's best if you just hide it away, instead of clearing it. Didn't we solve this issue last week?

If you're stuck, try to post the shortest relevant code that still shows the issue. Don't post code snippet since the bug may be somewhere else. Post the shortest working code strictly to show the issue.

Wow! I just found out you can things like this:
IF A==0 THEN IF B==5 THEN... ETC
I'm sure that not many others thought of that..
Anyways, here is my question; how do you use AND, OR, etc in IF...THEN... statments?

Those are called nested comparisons, you could also use AND for the same effect:

IF A==0 AND B==5 THEN Do something.

Of course, if you also want to do something else along with IF B==5 then a better way woud be...

IF A==0 THEN Do Something:GOSUB @CONT

@CONT
IF B==5 THEN dosomethingelse
RETURN

You should remember that you can only have 100 characters in a line of code, and IF in this language is not multi-line so you must do everything on the same line. You can however use GOSUB to create longer IFs.

About OR, it's used in the same way as AND, but the effect is different. It shouldn't be hard to figure out why though.

Wow thanks! . Another random question though, can you only load the font part of an SPU?
