Ok guys! Here's a video tutorial on how to make/install textures for Raycraft!

I feel that you are challenging my Raycraft. I would suggest that you go on and say that Raycraft is better and I won't declare a programming war. xD

Ok jk this looks very awesome! I am excited to play it! Will there be a demo? If so, when?

well, happy 200'th page everyone. And still going strong.

Beware, I have played an unhealthy dose of temple run 2 so my next game might be like it.

Battlewoods is going to be a randomly generated rpg. (Random story and everything) So you can play it all you want, and not get bored. I finally finished the main engine and starting the actual game. Oh I will try to include seeds too so you can be like "Check out this epic adventure".

I'm imagining a randomly generated story already...
"And so the King's butterfly has been kidnapped by the giant walruses. Use your sword of jellybeans to defeat the enemy and eat unlimited donuts for the rest of your life!"

No promises though. We all dream.

@IamAPerson I'm-a also going to give support for mods and many other things.

Ive been trying to make a program for a while now , and im stumped. I have no programing experience, and dont know how to even make the first line. Plz help me.... where should I start...how do I make a line without ...syntax errors...

If you go on the tutorial thread and go through the few pages you'll find a post from ramstrong that is a repost of the QR codes for my tutorial program that will easily get you started learning.

holy mother of monkey milk he wasnt lying
i dont know how to feel about this e-e

There's nothing to think about it, he's got a prototype that could turn into a nice little game with enough work. I guess that by "I have all of Mario's moves down" he actually meant the sprites.

I do have to agree that he seemed like a shady character by the way he always commented too little in cryptic ways and in odd intervals of time, though.

@Morphtorok About the whole "Mario sprite" thing, on the wiki (before he changed it after talking to me) he actually said "Mario fights mario/can KO each other, battle mechanics have no bugs, etc." from the very beginning.

By the way, I wasn't mad at him because I thought he would never make the game, I was just mad that he lied about his progress. From the very start, it sounded like he was someone who had taken a stab at making the game, got carried away with (or intentionally inflated) his supposed progress, then made a bunch of promises that he couldn't keep. It was that last part that got me particularly mad, because he was getting people all excited just to come up with another excuse for why he didn't have what he said he had.

BAH, I said I would say anything about this anymore! Oops.

It's ok Randomous when I found out about it I was raging to. I commented on his youtube.
I find it funny how he doesn't even have jumping yet. And on his wiki page he explicitly said he doesn't want to compete with me.
But I'm still winning! Haha.
With my typed array engine I'm working on, everything's going to change and I'm going to create a program I can use to basically add characters to the game dynamically, except some manual editing will be required. It'll only take 1/2 or 1/3rd of the real work I have to do out of the equasion since most characters will have the same general properties I can use one user defined type for each character, and then another user defined type for items such as pokeballs, and whatnot.
I plan to add the stuff on my wiki page to my game in the next week or so depending on if I get busy :3

Don't worry I still have him beat. But it is surprising.
I half believed him. But I still wanted to compete.

OKAY EVERYONE STOP. IN terms of smash bros fan based remakes that are "simplified" I think this person has me and waffle beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=351CO5_8fbM&feature=player...
It's inspiring to see this though I might take a few of his ideas and try to apply them to my game!

this is my attempt at animating a 64x128 sprite
it has a lot of qr codes though because of all the sprites

I deleted my previous comment because I though I had solved this lol, but here I go again...

I'm trying to draw a rotating triangle, it works well for the shorter horizontal and vertical lines, but the diagonal long line of my triangle rotates in a strange way.

Here's my code for drawing the triangle:
(L is the lenght of the lines, a is the angle)
@drawtri
X1=((l)*cos(rad(a))-(0)*sin(rad(a)))
Y1=((l)*sin(rad(a))+(0)*cos(rad(a)))
Gline x,y,x+x1,y+y1,4
X1=((0)*cos(rad(a))-(l)*sin(rad(a)))
Y1=((0)*sin(rad(a))+(l)*cos(rad(a)))
Gline x,y,x+x1,y+y1,4
X1=((l)*cos(rad(a))-(l)*sin(rad(a)))
Y1=((l)*sin(rad(a))+(l)*cos(rad(a)))
Gline x+1,y,x,y+y1,4
Return

The effect is rather nice if I don't clean the screen after every draw, but it's not what I want, I want the triangle to remain a triangle, not 3 dancing lines lol.

Can anyone help me solve this puzzle?

I think you should rotate and draw in two different subroutines. What's L has anything to do with it? What's O? How come you're doing X1 only?

Xp=Xcos@-Ysin@
Yp=Xsin@+Ycos@

So, you need both X and Y in the equation. You don't need Length. If that's too hard for you, there's always this:
L=SQR(X*X+Y*Y)
@=ATAN x,y
@=@+rotation angle
X=L*cos@
Y=L*sin@

HTH
Edit: Oh, you edited X1 to Y1. Either that or I'm seeing things. I still think you should do x1,x2,x3 and y1,y2,y3. Keep them separate.

Not exactly, that's game boy, much different. I myself have a GBA SP and I'm not sure how to play it as I don't know any flashcarts for GBA D: I really want to play this and tell everyone how it is. I got my GBA SP since i was 2 and have kept it for years, it broke down, I fixed it. It's really fun.

oh okay maybhe it's for PC. In that case i can play it.

Curse my weak PC. I can't get to the page!!!

@ramstrong: ! Never thought of it that way, I kept thinking of the triangle as lines instead of coordinates. Thanks for the idea. I'll try it later when my mom stops playing animal crossing with my 3DS. Not sure if that will solve the problem though lol.

Btw, O is actually 0, as in zero. I had a bunch of x1s because I copied and pasted and noticed it too late.

I guess I'll use my stronger PC to play this game.

happy 201st page everyone! the 200th passed so quickly.
