Code Breaker Game

Karbon · Post by **Karbon** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 9:12 pm

I'm looking for some examples for a hobby project of mine.

I want to display a fullscreen window with a countdown timer (the value of which the user can set in a preference file). What is the best way to show a somewhat animated countdown timer on a 2D window? Get images for all of the numbers and rotate them out? Use the text drawing functions?

I also want to display a text box and ask the user to type in a code. Basically the goal of the whole thing will be to get the right code entered before the timer gets to zero. Sounds goofy, I know, but it is a small part of a bigger project.

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to anything graphically with PB so any hints and tips are appreciated.

I'll leave the digit animation part out as I'm learning myself... But to make things pretty, texture maker could help. You can make a animated fire and place it on the screen when countdown is reaching zero... Something like it's burning dude... Move it!

See http://www.texturemaker.com.

Anyway, here's my simple example of solid and dithered font using Data and Sprites... Maybe it can lead to something...

Code: Select all

InitSprite()

#DATA_FONT_WIDTH = 10
#DATA_FONT_HEIGHT = 16
#DATA_FONT_COLOR1 = 16777200   ; RGB(255, 255, 255)
#DATA_FONT_COLOR2 = 8355711    ; RGB(127, 127, 127)
#DATA_FONT_BACKGROUND = 127    ; RGB(127, 0, 0)

Macro LoadFontSprite(num)
  fs_#num# = CreateSprite(#PB_Any, #DATA_FONT_WIDTH, #DATA_FONT_HEIGHT)
  If fs_#num#
    If StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(fs_#num#))
      Box(0, 0, #DATA_FONT_WIDTH, #DATA_FONT_HEIGHT, #DATA_FONT_BACKGROUND)
      StopDrawing()
    EndIf
; Use dithered font
   Restore dit_#num#
; Use solid font
;   Restore chr_#num#
    For fs_y = 0 To #DATA_FONT_HEIGHT - 1
      For fs_x = 0 To #DATA_FONT_WIDTH - 1
        Read fs_pix.b
        If fs_pix
          If StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(fs_#num#))
            If fs_pix = 1
              Plot(fs_x, fs_y, #DATA_FONT_COLOR1)
            Else
              Plot(fs_x, fs_y, #DATA_FONT_COLOR2)
            EndIf
            StopDrawing()
          EndIf
        EndIf
      Next
    Next
  Else
    Debug "fs_" + Str(num)
  EndIf
EndMacro

Nice!

I have one question:

I edited the chr1 a bit because it was too far shoved into the 2... it looks like I didn't change it a bit!

Code: Select all

chr_1:
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Even with this code:

Code: Select all

chr_1:
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Why?

akee · Post by **akee** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 6:46 pm

Oh ok... Change the macro LoadFontSprite() to...

Code: Select all

; Use dithered font
;   Restore dit_#num#
; Use solid font
   Restore chr_#num#

if you are using chr then it is for the solid font...
the example use the dithered array...

Rook Zimbabwe · Post by **Rook Zimbabwe** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 3:39 pm

Thats IT!!!

The following looks best with your fix...

Code: Select all

chr_1:
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
Data.b 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

I wonder how this could be translated into BINARY... I mean having a number that would be parsed into BIN form that would create the character. I mean my 1 here = 0,48,48,48... etc.

Hmmm... With this system you could code a whole ATARI style retro game.

I haven't done much in the games arena... poked my toe in the water a couple of times since B3D, but this gives me ideas!

OK as far as the input box... draw a box.

As far as trapping input... You simply have to:

1. create an alphabet the same way as the numbers are created (you can code an editor in about 45 minutes I bet that would output TXT files for cut and paste!) [OK you really don't... but it would be COOL!
2. Addkeyboard shortcuts to the screenwindow
3. when A-Z is pressed position TXT in input box you drew. (Centered might be best...

You can also create a spritebutton and check for mouseup collision for enter OR look for the enter key as well and bind your check routine to it!

akee · Post by **akee** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 5:35 pm

I coded it that way so that you could use 256 colors with Data.b and more if you use Data.w.

So you could create a gradient color font...

I snarked together a quick CHR editor.

You are gonna need 3 pictures (2 JPG (but you can change that)) and 1 BMP with RGB(0,0,0) as Transparent color for the cursor

All images 32X32

This code, with a little modification can also become a MAP EDITOR...

Gotta go now and prepare for the HURRICANE!

You will need to add the routine to dump the array CHAR() to out put the code you clicked up!

Good luck!

Really nice.

And I didn't know you could do this in Purebasic:

Code: Select all

fs_#num#

and change the variable name dynamically while compiling.

byo, if you use that... keep careful track of what you use... make a LIST with a pencil to remeember it all... I can't do that myself!
