Re: Messing with Morphing
Hi Folks, Well, here is a much better (two level) platform game as promised. Just UNZIP, LRUN or ESCape. Ok on QPC2 :(Too slow on SGC or less). Avoid the verttical moving bars, (which will disappear when hit), but hit all of them and the game is over ! kick the moving balls to score, (shown in top l...

Re: Messing with Morphing
Hi Per & everyone, Gunman_bas proved to be quite slow when tested on SGC. The problem seemed too be due to using four arrow keys, with range testing. To reduce such sluggging, a minimalist 'platform' game seemed ideal, needing only ENTER to achieve jumping. so less code in the inner loop. UNZIP,...

Re: Messing with Morphing
Hi Folks, Gunman_bas was fairly difficult to code efficiently, at least for SuperGoldCard, that is, mixing fast Morphed images with cursor key inputs. So other games, not needing arrow key-ins are being considered, as morphing is fast enough for bare 128ko QLs, but not with GunMan_bas...! As soon as...

Re: Messing with Morphing
Hi Everybody, After getting reasonably good fluent animation with QLeopard, it was time to experiment with games using morphing. So GunMan_bas is a first (minimalist) attempt to see if the concept is viable, which it is on QPC2, and just about ok using SGC (& QDOS). UNZIP, LRUN, and when he draw...

Re: Alien Invaders game
Hi Tiny... Thanks for your feedback : The UFO program now has a version tested ok under QDOS on SGC, renamed UFOsgc_bas. The QX variable is now XQ for Minerva users. Change the (PREC)ision variable for more or less speed to fit your system ! 40 is ok for QPC2, 24 for SGC, (and maybe 8 for 128ko QLs ...

Re: Messing with Morphing
Hi Folks, Ql versus jaguar ? No ! QL means Quantum Leap, So here is QLeapard, a fairly well drawn animation, much better than previous ones.... Alter line 950:3 to PAUSE 0, to see the full speed potential. Only eight drawings to get 128 morphed frames ! If you wish, enter your own DATA: You need a s...

Re: Alien Invaders game
Hi Per,
I tried including extra aliens, but that makes the code horribly complex ! ( It is quite voluminous as it stands ).
But I could perhaps improve the way scores are calculated, to add some extra spice... Steve.

Re: Alien Invaders game
Hi Folks, Well, to take a break from morped animations, I adapted the associated curve-smoothing routine to make an invaders game. Just UNZIP & LRUN after reading the instructions on lines 120 to 150. Kill the alien before he kills you ! Uses smooth complicated swooping orbits, with acceleration...

Re: Messing with Morphing
Hi Folks, The first prototype caused a great deal of interet : 45 downloads ! Yet the last, final, 'animated storyboard' got less hits... strange ? With the last (demo) version, you can make moving 'films' yourself, following simple guidelines, mentioned recently... Whilst adapting it to produce a '...
