I'm no longer posting on this thread as of 01 Nov 2023. Some work continues in DOWNLOAD/GAMES.
all posts will remain here for historical value.

NEW THREAD IS viewtopic.php?t=6887

Title Change again 10/22/2023

Thought I would finally change this title. Its no longer early days for this program

.

FROM HERE DOWN IS THE ORIGINAL POST

Ok... I'm going to let you guys watch me struggle through this.
I don't think the game algorithm is going to be super difficult. I want to
do some file IO so basically unlimited word choices. Plus
a 2 player option with the option to file away the words on disk
for the one player option.

There is nothing resembling game logic yet. I'm doing the graphics first.
So far a start at a background and the outline of the gallows.

Code: Select all

10 CLS:PRINT:XLIMIT = 319:YLIMIT=239

30 PRINT " ONE PLAYER AGAINST THE COMPUTER ?

I've put off the port of Mystify to Prog8.. I've got some ideas, but finding out
my arrays are limited to 128 elements means I've got to do some serious rethinking on that project
(I do have some ideas. Mostly implementing my own version of a Multi dimensional array)

Just Posted Generic CIRCLE Draw routine for BASIC in PROGRAMMING.
Working on ELLIPSE/OVAL next.

This is to be used on the Hangman project but thought it was generic enough to post in
PROGRAMMING.

Posted: **Mon May 22, 2023 5:40 pm**

Have you considered the Midpoint Circle algorithm, instead of sin/cos? This should solve your fill problem, too, since you can use LINE statements to draw whole rows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

Posted: **Mon May 22, 2023 11:48 pm**

Thanks for the pointer Tom. I'll see what I can do with that on my next day off work.

Posted: **Sun May 28, 2023 11:10 pm**

Ok... I incorporated the Circle subroutine I was working on. The NOOSE is complete.
LOL. I apologize for the slow progress on this... I would have liked to have
this complete before the first batch of boards ships.. Don't think I will.

Besides the NOOSE, I also raised the GALLOWS a little higher on the screen

NOW ONTO REVIEW THE CUSTOMARY RULES OF THE GAME OF HANGMAN.

I REALIZED I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY PLAYED IN DECADES... WANT IT TO BE RIGHT

TGFG (Thank God for Google)

Posted: **Tue May 30, 2023 12:33 am**

Ok .. Mostly doing my graphics code the hard way.
Determining the right pixel values via brute force.
Make an educated guess.. Write some code
Run it. Make some adjustments based on the display: Rinse, Repeat..... Numerous times.

Spent about 2 1/2 hrs on this little 20-30 line snippet. And I still need to finish the face.
But it's worth seeing if anyone is following this development chore

...

P.S. Projects always get us off on Tangents. I'm working on a version of the VERA colorpallette.png file
with each block labeled with its Hexadecimal number. I'm using GIMP to do it.
Tonight I didn't even finish the first row. Got to $0A. When I finish it I'll post it in Programming or maybe
elsewhere. I also want to incorporate it onto the TOP of my X16 case when I do that project.
