Ok, Well I made a demo, but the Battle system isn't done yet. So please ignore the Second Link Sprite, and the number 15 as these are appearing bacause of an unfinished system.

Ya, and when I closed the window, the game stayed on, I had to murder it with the task manager

. Dunno if thats a problem with the game or my end.

Yes, it is only a demo of Link walking. And I know about that glitch. And to stop the music, exit the game by pressing esc while on the map.

PS: If anyone out there could help me with the Battle system, please feel free to edit the code and repost

Wow, horrible walking!

Looks good so far, you've set up the invisible wall system and keyboard movement. Once you get the walking sprite animation in there it'll look great. BTW, when I quit the game, the process continues running, along with the loud music (hopefully there'll be an option to turn that off), and I have to kill it with Win2000 task manager. Progress is always good though! Keep us updated.

I suggest that you write that in Java or C# instead, the skills you learn will be more transferable to other languages and they are just nicer to use.

I need to make a game to complete this class. This is a project for a class. Anyway, yeah, the animations of Walking will be implemented soon. Next Build probably. I still can't seem to figure this battle system out...

EDIT: Also, how would i go about a Save/Load System? Kinda pointless if you need to start over all the time

Post by **gannon** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 7:45 pm

Save/load system would save/load a set of stats/vars that you read from a file. You could make it plain text file format for ease of manual editing, or something more cryptic like a hex file

EG:

Code: Select all

Hearts=14
Lives=3
Weapon=2
Area=6

or

Code: Select all

0E030206

makes sense, I'll look into that. I should probably not make it a .txt file so that people can't cheat

The average person wouldnt know that a .sav file is just a renamed .txt file would they....

What class is that? I dont have any game programming classes at my school.

Kurt_ · Post by **Kurt_** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 6:58 pm

its not strictly for games. It's computer programming. At my school, the coruse code is ICS, or TIK.
