SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Some nice art progress here guys 

looking forward to seeing all of these finished

Pic of the day:

They have evolved and the pinkys' have gone up and down the ladders and found me!!!!

They look cute ... maybe let their "antennas/ears" stand up when they get excited (aka spotting you ;-)).

One Burger down...

I see my game is coming along nicely, Steve

Haha, I think you might be better at the game than me...Yes a bit behind schedule, but picking up the slack now.

You don't want to know how far I'm behind with my game

oooh purdy color skys...

Took me ages to get the gradient looking right, in the end I found a nice example on how to do it. My first couple of attempts where just a mess

It's great seeing everyone's progress!

Development of my game has proceeded at such a glacial pace that I'll either be submitting an unfinished game, or nothing at all.

And the clock is seriously ticking...

Still working on the basic game mechanics. Attaching entities to path tiles for proper rendering when entities overlap. I want to avoid "z-indexes" as it is no 3D game but just something with rotation in a 2D world. It's a thing I imposed on myself.
Currently working on tile collision and jumping/falling/acceleration/deacceleration. Having only a few time spots a day for "everything computer" does not help much. Still cannot await to paint some pixels on the canvas for nifty animations. I know I cannot come up with something so decent like Adam but it will surely be better than nothing.


Meanwhile on work I have had access to a Dell T5500 and they have an inbuilt Intel IGP. There I had "Sub-Textures" (BlitzMax' DrawSubImageRect()) which were 1 pixel shorter when using a VirtualResolution doubling the whole thing (640x400 instead of 320x200). Also scaling of a texture looks really different there (as if other scaling algorithms were used). I am pretty sure that it has all to do with floats and a different rounding setup - should check if I use an implicit float-int-conversion (acting like int(float) - which is like floor(float)). When passing 2 as float you might up ending with 1.9999997 on that Intel-machine. int(1.99999997) becomes 1, while int(2.000001) becomes 2. Means I will have to add "0.5" there to make it properly working. A pity I cannot reproduce it there.

Gladly all the issues I had experienced up to now with Col's Render2Texture were fixed by him already just a breathe after I mentioned the issues.

Good thing cheat mode is enabled!  I gave the enemy soldiers the wrong weapons!

Love the animation on that!

For some reason, when I size up these images, the dithering gets screwed but at the moment I now have the AI working so can race it.  I'm really enjoying working in such low res - so easy to add in new bits and bobs and effects.  Added in the cars darkening when in shadow which looks pretty good  

Pickups & Hazzards which I might use if I get time ..



A couple of new tracks ...
