Back to IE to view pics lol

[SHiZNO]

  im trying not to just 'rush' thru to get it out...but like i said...if theres something you want different/better go ahead and rip up the code any way you want...just leave my cool little SHiZNO/SEGA logo on boot

[jizzlobber]

like I said mate, i'm happy to take a stab at grafix... maybe you could send me your hi score/menu template?

[SHiZNO]

Sure...here it is..
http://www.geocities.../enterscore.txt
is the main background for when entering score...
the top box is where the name is entered
middle big box is the icon
bottom box is score

http://www.geocities...goud/scores.txt

is the same thing, except displayed when looking at the score...not when entering the score itself

http://www.geocities...goud/goexit.txt
is displayed next to the icon in that big blank space... RGB(255,0,255) (PINK) is the alpha colour (transparent)

http://www.geocities...goud/goicon.txt is displayed when you are selecting the icon to use

http://www.geocities...goud/goname.txt is displayed when entering name

im pretty sure thats how itll remain...if you have a better idea, draw up anything and i can accomodate to whatever template (as long as it has big enough spaces to insert the text .. (its as tall as those boxes!)

[SHiZNO]

as for the main menu...for now its okay...ill send you the menu templates when ive finished adding everything in (new options and whatnot)

Edit: Damn youjr bandwith is exceeded...please will u send me all the pix in zipped up form to [email protected]
Thanks!

do you think it would be a good idea to simply give stick a picture in the background?
maybe a tropical theme or something just to make it a little more interesting.

I just knocked something up, it's very dodgy but I think I could make something cool with a bit more time (it's 2am here in australia).
anyway this is just to show what a background can add to your current template.

yeah, thats cool...you should also change the text to make it a bit more nicer to read...a jungle theme could be cool...hell, im sure hwatever you come up with will be better than the original (duh)...so do whatever you want..its all up to you...

[jizzlobber]

yeah the text should be "fun" eh?

I'll muck around a bit now, not a lot of time cause there's a big Halo LAN tonight.
Rugby League grand final on tomorrow too... might not get another chance for a day to 2

[jizzlobber]

this one is another quick job, looks better though.
would tropical hi-score screens look out of place? this one is made up from a photo but I could easily draw something up to give it that cartooney look.

ill try put important comments/explain shit in the main parts tho...(of the source)

ummm...oh yeah wishi i used your input class, the green button was set to Red tho, but i fixed that easily (that class is very nice btw)...im temporarily using your sound class too, but ill have to end up ditching that as i need to play CS's and change music alot (stages, and when tyou almost die the music needs to stop and play the upbeat tempo...not sure how ill do this AND use CS tho (ill just only use upbeat when not running CS's i guess)...still havent really decided much on the sound shit tho..ill be working on that tomorrow i guess...

so umm...yeah...ill see what gets done tomorrow, if things look good i guess whoever wants to test can help test for various shit...then you can tell me what should be added/changed...then release the source to the public and everyone can edip/rip whatever they want..

im going to sleep() now

[jizzlobber]

any news shizno?

[SHiZNO]

yeah, well ive been having some slight problems with the new falling code (when it falls slowly, not a block at a time).. im gona try work thru that tonight, if i  cant get it to work like it was, ill revert back to the block at a time (its not SERIOUS, its just i shouldve planne dbetter from the ground up)..

i also made a slight change to the dump code, where it dumps blocks on the other player...its working pretty good now...

i just want to get this game 'working' fine, so i can give out the source of this version, let people fuck with it, and move onto bigger things...i really learned to plan everything  from this, its not bad tho for my first so..

as for whats next, ill probably end up on the fighter game, but as for Baku Baku ill almost definately work on a part 2, that will be everything i planned for this game, and more...i just really wana get this off my chest...

soo...yeah...im gona tidy some stuff up, and just dump out everything i have THIS friday (unless something horrible happens)...if its not 'good enough'' on friday, ill give out 'alpha' build ill call it, and spend the weekend working on what needs to be done to make it 'good enough'...


right now its completely playable, its definately better than the SMS version, altho im not sure about the Arcade/saturn version as i have nothing to compare to (and dont know how it 'played' on those....BUT, anyone is free to touch up the code and improve...

as for customisation, i think itll only be as good as 'editing' the placeholders this time, instead of making skins to switch thru (unless someone wants to add that (probably an hour job maybe?)...altho everything is 'open' and bitmap format, so you can customise everything... (hell, open source is about as customisable as you can get, but not so user friendly)...

anywya, i think we can all just think of this as the prologue to 'Baku Baku 2'...which will be planned better, and will include everything i aimed for with this one.

[SHiZNO]

PS: dont get that post wrong, this isnt a 'why the game sucks speach'...the game itself plays pretty good, and when i get the better menu graphics everything will shape up to be good... the ONLY thing im worried about, is if i am bias since i programmed the game, but im confident others will enjoy the 2 player side of the game....but im not sure if this type of game is for everybody..
