I know that this is happening, when you are sharing from twitter and the twitter account is switched to private. Probably it also happens if a linked tweet is deleted.
So, I guess, the external link is not available anymore.

I agree that it would be nice to be able to reuse code. I think that the main reason for not doing so at the moment is that it means that everything required to run a program is in one place which makes it very easy to share. Maybe something could be done to pull in required libraries at the point of sharing? But I don't know as I am not one of the devs!

@plarpco I don't think that there was an announcement post.

Colin I'd take that if I were you, the next offer might not be as generous 😅

2 weeks off at this time of the year? Dang, I have overtime up till Christmas unless things calm down before then, so I have no real time for FUZE.

Would be nice if an update comes out before Christmas, then I can get back into my stuff because I'm using vacation time following Christmas to basically have 1.5 weeks to myself.

@SteveZX81 I'm nowhere near as good as you think I am Steve ;)

The best way to do this is have an array that stores if the card is to be changed or not. Left and right can be used to point at a card. Button A can toggle if its held or not and button y can change all cards that are set to discard. In the array you can go with binary. 1 means held, 0 means discard and draw. You also need a variable that keeps track of the card your pointing at. Left and right will increase or decrease this variable. Make sure user cannot go before card 1 or after card 5 or at least make it wrap around

Here an example to give you an idea

card=0//current card for cursor cardheld=[0,0,0,0,0]//all card not held by def. j=controls(0) while !j.y loop//loops until y pushed j=controls(0)//check for btn pushed if j.left then//if left held card-=1//decrease current card sleep(.3)//small delay so cursor not fast endif if j.right then//if right held card+=1//increases current card sleep(.3)//delay again endif if card<0 then//move cursor to last card card=4 endif if card>4 then//moves to first card card+=1 endif if j.a then//if btn A pushed if cardheld[card]==0 then cardheld[card]=1//toggles held status else cardheld[card]=0 endif sleep(.3)//delay so doesnt toggle fast endif repeat for z=0 to 5 loop if cardheld[z]==0 then Drawcard(z)//points to func. to draw card endif repeat

I wouldnt just copy this and be done but should get you started. You still need the function that draws the card. Code included only applies to get this done internally. You should draw a cursor based on location of currently selected card and draw text based on if card held or not based on cardheld array

@pianofire said in Some "pre-sales" questions...:

@plarpco This one might be interesting https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/.
There is a sample here: https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/sample.pdf

Funny. I literally just finished an Amazon search, found that book, read a comment on the amazon review that mentioned it was free to read online, looked at a few chapters, and then returned to this thread to post a link.

This looks perfect!

@Jonboy said in motion controls?:

Hi, one for a later update i'm afraid. No Camera reading at the moment.

Good. I don't want it watching me as I sit naked at 2am programming and eating crisps. :D

I just do step # on fuze on for loops (like you would in basic). I do use += to increment variables outside of for loops.

Ex: score+=150 rather than score=score+150

Now if we are taking c++ ill just stick to i++

It really depends on your goal and how blatantly disrespectful you are. For example, create a Mario style game using actual copies of their graphics and share this amongst a few friends. It's not like to draw much attention from any one. Take that game and post it on YouTube as a game making tutorial and don't allow any advertising so you do not profit from it. Still, not likely to ruffle many feathers, at least until it become popular. Ok, now try putting an advert in the middle of the video that promotes a range of Nintendo branded merchandise that you alone have created and have no sub-licensing agreement in place with Nintendo. This will not go down well. Basically does anyone profit from your efforts? If yes, then do your efforts rely upon the intellectual property rights of others. If yes, then don't do it! It is nothing more than common sense. At the end of the day lets say you come up with an idea. You create a character and a game idea that no one else has ever thought of. You put years worth of effort into it and thousands, if not millions of $$$ into developing the 'brand' behind that design. Then someone comes along and uses your artwork, your game design and your story writing with little other creative effort and profits from it. How are you going to respond? Let that be your moral compass.

I would just like to add that the whole Nintendo dev environment (hardware and software) is under pretty strict NDA so you can google all you like you won’t find much info about it online and what you do find is leaked info which may or may not be correct.

Fuze is written in C++ not purely C. Can’t comment on the assembler. There maybe some hidden in there I suppose.

@Nisse5 No I can't see them either

This kind of reminds me of whomever came up with encoding computer data in audio-- with this approach, we could encode game data in colors. Cool idea!

@pobtastic Holy buckets is that cool! I love the faux reflection effect. I totally bet Fuze can do something like this.

I'd even settle for an extension to the current drawSheet command to work with an array. For purposes of demonstration, I made 2 versions which get the job done, but are slow. The first draws a horizontal sequence of tiles, which has a start index to the array and a count to loop through. The second draws a 2D grid of tiles,which requires input on width to figure out the height based on array size. It also has a source vector for starting x/y position, as well as the width and height counts to draw). I incorporated wrap-around into them as well.

// Draw a horizontal sequenced set of tiles function drawASheet( image, tileArray, start, count, xpos, ypos, scale ) size = tileSize( image, 0 ) * scale if( size.x > 0 ) then width = len( tileArray ) if( wrap ) then if( start < 0 ) then start = ( start % width ) + width endIf for i = 0 to ncount loop drawSheet( image, tileArray[( start + i ) % width ], xpos + ( i * size.x ), ypos, scale ) repeat else if( start < 0 ) then xpos -= start * size.x count -= start start = 0 endIf ncount = min( start + count, width) - start for i = 0 to ncount loop drawSheet( image, tileArray[ start + i ], xpos + ( i * size.x * scale ), ypos, scale ) repeat endIf endIf return void // Draw a 2D grid of tiles function drawASheetEx( image, tileArray, width, sourceV, xpos, ypos, scale, wrap ) size = tileSize( image, 0 ) * scale height = int( len( tileArray ) / width ) ty = height * width if( size.x > 0 and height > 0 ) then if( wrap ) then if( sourceV.y < 0 ) then sourceV.y = ( sourceV.y % height ) + height endIf clip = 0 for i = 0 to sourceV.w loop clip = (( i + sourceV.y ) * width ) % ty drawASheet( image, tileArray[ clip : clip + width - 1 ], sourceV.x, sourceV.z, xpos, ypos + ( i * size.y ), scale, 1 ) repeat else if( sourceV.y < 0 ) then ypos -= sourceV.y * size.y sourceV.w -= sourceV.y sourceV.y = 0 endIf ncount = min( sourceV.y + sourceV.w, height ) - sourceV.y for i = 0 to ncount loop drawASheet( image, tileArray[( i + sourceV.y ) * width : ( i + sourceV.y + 1 ) * width - 1 ], sourceV.x, sourceV.z, xpos, ypos + ( i * size.y ), scale, 0 ) repeat endIf endIf return void
