Dude that is just stunning!

Buzz me on discord, we'll get the sound going 😊😊😊

@Dave no problem man its that time of year

You could make shield/health items, randomly appear and if the ball passes them, the last player that touched the ball get the benefits.

@Dave maybe only 0.2% then, but i would be nowhere near that without fuze i just purely love it.

How is the project going?

What are you stuck on? That looks great!

I fixed all the issues and reshared the program, and because my other programs using the list functions were getting too big to scroll around, I added a condensed version of the functions - one function per line. Removing all that white space by hand was a trip, wondering every few lines if I screwed something up.

I've written Asteroids-like games a lot, so I know the tricks. It's a good candidate for learning a new language and API as you can test all the number systems, experiment with different drawing styles etc.
For example, I figured pretty fast that lots of draw calls is slow on Fuze, so all the asteroids and the ship are pre-rendered to sprites (the asteroids are actually randomised shapes every time you start the game). This means the only direct draw calls are from the bullets (4x4 boxes) of which there are 4, and the particles, which I've allocated 2000 for and when bug testing and spawning too many, that drops the framerate, but shouldn't happen in a real game.

I'll share it when I've got it more feature complete for people to look over if they want though.

I've seen it posted about a few times in the past, but I had to look up what it was all actually about too :)

Wow! Just wow. Get over here.

@lawyerlounge you CAN draw them pixel by pixel in the editor but when I greeted myself with the editor it was unwelcoming and just something else I had to understand and wrap my mind around which is what led me to finding the work around. If you check one of my last posts that was a reply to pianofire you can see that this method allows for animation of the sprites as well I'm just not understanding how to do it completely but I've only had Fuze4 for about a week so it's probably natural I don't understand how to do it yet.

I am not a fan of image editing to begin with, I don't have a mouse and keyboard set up, and so on and so forth. Everything you are seeing is being done with the onscreen keyboard. The image editor using the analog sticks didn't seem "smart" or like a good idea to me because if the stick moves your pixel is then out of place. Setting it up using the arrays guarantees that your pixel is being placed EXACTLY where you want it.

Personally I think the issue is a matter of opinion on which method is better or easier to use. I could see people being able to implement the image editor in a manner that works for them but it's just more learning I have to do to crank out artwork that otherwise can be cranked out using my method that I already know how to use, somewhat. The only thing I am lacking is an understanding of the coding involved in the animation process using this method.

Yeah it took quite a while. Its over 1200 lines and like 90% of it is just data entry. The other 10% is the program itself. I am thinking of adding a price per channel function. Program already keeps track of num of channels and in the service structure there is a cost variable.

*update

Added the price per channel (shows in top corner)

@Juggalo_Jesus Thanks for that it means a lot. We are all just trying to make Fuze as good as it can be

Very Nice Work @Nisse5 !
I have done an equivalent code for the introduction of the game I working on for years.

I like the border of the paper, how its moving. On what system and dev environment did you do this?

It is coded in Love2D (Lua) on PC.
If you want to try the game : Journey - The Sleeping King
It is always in WIP

Changed how the program works internally. Cleaned up many things, structures are now used, removed redundant code. Line 1 now contains displayed puzzle, to make it easier to change puzzle. There is support for multiple puzzle but only displays first puzzle currently. Just need to come up with a design for choosing puzzle number. I may also add random puzzles too. Will be easy to add but pictures wont make sense (obviously).

Update

added ability to choose levels with l and r added ability to change size of puzzles in edit mode with l and r

Currently there are only 3 puzzles, you can add more by adding to the puzzledata function. Start after 3rd

function puzzledata() //start leveldata //.... (data for prev. Levels) puzzle[4].data=[31,17,17,17,31] puzzle[4].size=5 //end leveldata return void()

Adding the above code would make a square using a 5x5 grid. The data is obtained using editmode and represents the value on right side of each row starting from top row seperated by commas

Implemented a heat map (a suggestion from my son when we were playing) for most rotated tiles, when the board has been solved by the player.

@jmcdowall Someone wrote an entire book about variations on the Commodore BASIC program that generates this kind of maze. You might enjoy it.

Aaaaaand... Whoah.
