Stranger things occur i guess but another project i worked on for a long time was Impossible mission.
One interesting thing about this game is it seems to have the most sub-sections of any game i know. For example, the main game screen, the lift foyer, the pocket computer, the phone menu, the simple simon game, etc.
And stranger still over the last couple of weeks (without even reading this forum thread) have been recoding it. I currently have the room render routine (with lifts, platforms, entrances, walls and furniture), 2 robot patterns working, 4 robots on screen and i've just got Ethan Hunt on screen.
I took an inordinate amount of time trying to work out how to code the robot behaviours which vary a hell of alot. In the end and for this game i use scripts (taken from another secret project for Summer CEO) which control the robots behaviour.
This works very well.
A demo of it will be shown at this summers CEO meet (one weeks time
) so long as i don't suffer some other silly ailment before then.
Damned annoying these health issues i keep having, seemed i suffered one every week since hitting 40.
I also believe the puzzle pieces in IM are all simple bitmaps predefined already unless someone else knows they are drawn afresh before the next game?
I am dreading the foyer lift section because this game is in hires and doing a 2/3 vertical screen scroll may prove too much for the poor oric :/
Ideas are welcome as always
and you know what the source code is provided !
