Spring Break Projects

[Zenith Nadir]

Hey guys. As most of us know, spring break is just around the corner (only two weeks or so for me). I'm going to take this time to just take a breather from demanding college life and...MAKE A ZZT GAME!!! Yes, that's right. I'll be trying to make a short but sweet non-linear ZZT game over the course of a few days during the break, and I encourage others to follow suit as well. So I guess the thing is, what are you planning on accomplishing ZZT-wise over the break? Maybe I can hold a BKZZT over the break as well, who knows??? But in any case yeah.

my summer break finished a few weeks ago! so unfortunately i am not available to make ZZT games at this time.

[Commodore]

yeah, it happens a little earlier in the states.

and I don't go to school, but I'll do something for solidarity.

[zamros]

you're an asshole nadir

[InfoSponge]

...maybe

[asiekierka]

i'm ill this week and for the next week we have almost no school (well, we have, but for like 4-5 hours each day, so naaah)

Well, I MAY do a ZZT game, thanks for a reminder!

If there's a BKZZT and I'm not working, I'll be there. Probably.

...yes, that is my own port. It's designed to be ZZT without the limits.
Teen Priest works quite well on all occasions except for the bit where the cops beat up Loco (the timing isn't too good) and the dancing engine (for some reason it doesn't end). Although it does handle the fact that by the end there's about 13 flags set.
Bugs I can confirm work:

• Player clones.
• Player-touching-the-edge bugs.
• Both illusion bugs, border and fullscreen. Well, not *exactly* the way they work, but still.
• Duplicator + player bugs, including the Koopo bug.
• Paused transport bug.

Doing #become in a scroll merely indicates ZZT would have crashed; it never crashed when this was tested before I added the check.
Duplicating a boulder onto a player clone, however, theoretically would crash. I put a check in before I tested this, which indicates that it would have crashed. I believe the pushable-on-a-duplicator bug is caused by a stack overflow when it attempts to call the push function, pushing the player clone at a velocity of (0,0), then moving (0,0) onto the SAME player clone and calling the push function again...

I'd be keen to make a ZZT game provided I have the motivation and ideas.


Oh, by the way, that object in the middle acts kinda like a bridge. Here's the code you'd need (it has to be cycle 1 otherwise it sucks):

Code: Select all

:touch
#lock
#put opp seek player
/i#shoot seek
#unlock

EDIT: Also, I'd be keen for a BKZZT. Yes. Very yes, in fact.

EDIT 2: By request of zamros, I have released an alpha. Get it while it's hot:
http://rafb.net/p/BJLhE268.html
Save it as zzt.c .
You will need the allegro library to compile this.

[zamros]

port it to ubuntu

[nps]

port it to .NET

[Quantum P.]

Holy cow.

That's remarkable.

[Zenith Nadir]

greasemonkey that looks/sounds pretty good, finish it

if you finish it to a good standard i will never mention this again (it is a date forever linked in my mind with the night i touched down in poland. simultaneously trolling the internet and travelling, im living the life here people)

also sorry to disappoint everyone but this thread is little more than a copy-paste of an ando thread in the locked thread forum, only zamros worked it out

[InfoSponge]

sorry dude
i'm from the future
your past means nothing to me

OK, bugs fixed. ZZTris runs fine apart from the fact that the L piece, when rotated in a certain way, moves twice as fast as usual... or does it normally do that?

So yeah, http://rafb.net/p/JxYSQ291.html , get it while it's hot.

EDIT: A BKZZT would still be a good idea, though.
