Topic: Petit Computer

Oh no! You died!

Sorry in advance if I sound too harsh, but with the current increase in projects, I can't help but hope that the people involved are really taking the time to think it out. Have you really taught out all the aspects? Are you capable of achieving a full game? Or is it just a concept that sounds better on paper? I really hope people are thinking it through. If you are thinking of creating a project, can you first hold off on the "announcement of a new project" till you've got the engine/basics of it down? It would really save time and effort. Sorry again......

@damolii I concur. But people like to do things their own way, especially when the alternative is heeding the advice given by others.

Thought I'd post how I did the reddish death screen if anyone wanted to do somethibg similar.

When you die in Minecraft DS, as seen above, your screen becomes tinted red. How did I do that? I made a checkerboard pattern of the current frame and red, giving the illusion of red tintedness. Here's the code:

FOR I=0TO 255

FOR J=0TO 191STEP 2

GPSET I,J-(I%2==0),2

@IAmAPersson Wow. Never would have thought of doing that, even though on FlipNote Studio, that was the only way to get brown.

@IAmAPersson Its similar to dithering. It was a way of creating new colors by checker boarding two colors together. You must have an expert knowledge of the raycast engine!

Persson you genius! I never thought of that.... Too bad I forgot what i needed that for :/

Thanks for the positive feedback! Feel free to use that technique for any purpose you like (although I don't really have control over that in the first place).

@IAmAPersson I realy like your MCDS. I've played a lot of homebrew MC's for the DS, but they where too perfect Xd. You are taking hard work and time for it, and I respect that! Anyway, how the hell did you make 3d slime sprites (did u use GPSET or are they zoomed sprite images?)

@LeviCeljir your Rayspace QR code is unscanable because the resolution is too low (or did I domething wrong? If that is the matter, can you send me the direct link to the 100% image?).

Yeah, I know my English is BAD.

@T-Bender your English is fine. For slimes, I just had a normal block, but assigned it AI and allowed it to move. The only sprites in MCDS are for the steve fist. I would have graphics for it, but I've run out of graphic pages to store data on! GPAGE 0 is for the day/night background. GPAGE 1 is for the touch GUI/bottom screen. GPAGE 2 and 3 are for drawing the frames. If I had a 4 and 5, I could provide a lot of things faster and smoother... PTC Y U NO BE BETTER >:{

Good progress! Is the background new, or did I forget to scan it?

@Mariominer the background was part of the Minecraft DS Beta 2.0.0 Prerelease 2. What to rescan for that update:
PRG:MCDS_B20
GRP:MCDS
GRP:MCDS_BG
GRP:MCDS_NBG
GRP:NETHER
At the final update, I'll use @Randomous's QR stitcher to put the QRs on one PNG. I can't package because of the way loading is done. I've looked into it. If someone can find a way to package MCDS and still make it functional, I'll be ecstatic.

@IAmAPersson PTC has a lot of limits, but its better then Wario Ware DIY! I tried to make a (kinda) 3D race game by hacking the timer system, but it is too hard to make serious games on it. So I decided to upgrade to PTC when it came out in EU (August 2013). Now I'm creating a 3D COD game...

I'm making a redstone proof-of-concept: To prove it works I need something for the redstone to pass through-suggestions? Just so you know how it works-as I probably won't be able to post it- It uses an array called "red" and the size is 31 by 23 as it's a text program. When you press start, it clears the map. When you press the D-pad, it moves. Pressing "a" makes it place your item right under you. There's currently redstone and a lever. It uses the array to find what the redstone on each block will look like. Anyway, again, what should I test it with? I'll take: Piston, redstone torch (turning on and off), and a redstone lamp.

@Mariominer Try to make an on-off switchable redstone lamp (its simple but good for a test)

thank's @texmurpy! also if anyone has any good sample programs that will help me with my project I will add that sample to my game.plus you will be added to the credit's.and @IAmAPerson can I use that minecraft ds menu bgm for this project?it will help a whole lot because im TERIBLE with mml commands .and if anyone has more minecraft music that sounds just like the songs in real minecraft please send the qr codes to this so that I can scan it. and @IAmAPerson again,I really like the new update! it is very detailed and it's just too cool for petit computer!anyway,that's all.so please help me out guys.

On it-oh, for anyone who wants to know how I'm going to make the redstone run, it's going to use a loop that will find the connection in redstone that's not connecting to where the charge just came from-in other words it searches for new wire using the array I mentioned earlier red like this:

IF RED(CHX,CHY+1)==1 THEN CHY=CHY+1:BACKY=CHY-1:BACKX=CHX

Notes: CHX is the charges x location, CHY is the charge's y location, BACKX and BACKY are the previous coordinates x and y respectively. Unfortunately, this method ONLY SUPPORTS ONE CHARGE. I'll probably eventually modify it to support the three way and two way, but not now. For now it stays to be a priority system. AKA a system that takes one direction over the other, kind of like the Minecraft South-West rule (or is it South-East now?).
@Zane-dude, Please delete 2 of your triple-posts. I wouldn't normally say that, but they're all the same.

@IIAmAPersson can u tell me where I can find the v2 PreRelease, PLEASE? I wanna test it.
