Grey Alien(Posted 2007) [#1]
Hi all, I've just whipped up this small multi-directional scrolling platform game example using V1.03 of my BlitzMax Game Framework:

http://www.greyaliengames.com/downloadtrack.php?id=15 (2.82Mb)



Basically you can move and jump the smiley face round the level with the arrow keys. The blocks are solid and you collide with them. You can pickup the green things, but they don't do anything. Head right and try to get to the end. Nothing will happen when you reach the end mind you.

If you feel like editing the level, look for data\levels\1.txt :-)

This source code will be released with V1.04 on my framework, but if you want it now, just let me know.

To find out more about my framework, please go here:

Enjoy!

Ooh! I want it now, please :)

Great stuff as always. :)


Grey Alien(Posted 2007) [#3]
OK, I'll email you the source now.


Murilo(Posted 2007) [#4]
That's great! Very impressive.

Looking forward to the next framework release...

I'd appreciate a copy as well.

I purchased your framework yesterday (Shareit purchase sorry, Paypal gives me indigestion) so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it *hint hint*.

Additionally, as I have access to both Windows and Mac for my development I'd appreciate you sending the alterations you mentioned in another thread to get it working on Mac assuming they aren't now part of the core. I realise some of the features are Windows only and don't mind a challenge.

Thanks!


RiK(Posted 2007) [#6]
me three please.. :)


Grey Alien(Posted 2007) [#7]
Bobby Ball : Thanks!

eni: I sent it all off yesterday to the email address used in the shareit order which is the one in your sig. Please check again. I'll email you the Mac version right now.

Meanwhile I'll send you and RiK the source for this demo.

At this rate, by version 1.09 we'll just have to do this:

' Avon's cool golf game
Import "GreyAlienFramework109.bmx"
mygame:Game = New Game
mygame.Create(Golf)
While mygame.Status = Playing
  mygame.Update
Wend

lol, maybe. I'm still working on:

MakeMeRich("£1,000,000")

eni: I just got framework part B bounce back to me from your address, the other emails may also bounce I guess. Do you have an alternative I can try? Email it to me...


Murilo(Posted 2007) [#11]
Does the collision of the main "character" work as well with irregular/animating shapes?


Tri|Ga|De(Posted 2007) [#12]
I'll like the source to!


Jesse(Posted 2007) [#13]
me too. Please!

Bobby Ball: At the moment in that "simple" demo it's just a square collision area. I may change it to pixel perfect later. However, I had it pixel perfect in Iron Fist (,y first Blitz Plus game) and I found it to create all sorts of horrible problems, believe me, so in the end I used a rectangle and it was fine.

eni: OK ALL the emails I sent to you have bounced back with this:

<mark_27@...;: delivery temporarily suspended: host
ipmailmx.internode.on.net[192.231.203.138] refused to talk to me:
554-ipmailmx02.adl2.internode.on.net 554 ESMTP; smtp4.freeserve.com
[193.252.22.159] in MX's BLACKLISTmail-abuse; crashed into the sunset

Looks like freeserve is blacklisted on your server!!!

To the others: OK I'll email the source now.


eni(Posted 2007) [#15]
Email sent (to the address ShareIt gave, mail@jakesweb...).

Apologies for the inconvenience.


Grey Alien(Posted 2007) [#16]
eni: yeah sorry for the troubles, I've sent the whole lot to the new email address, hopefully it'll be fine now.


Blitzplotter(Posted 2007) [#17]
Looking forward to v1.04 Grey... Just been giving 1.03 a whirl - very impressive.


Grey Alien(Posted 2007) [#18]
