80s Digital Display Game

[Carm3D]

Oh my goodness... What a slog! I've just finished processing and cropping (by hand) every display element. Each set is over 90 elements.. There is an LCD set, VFD set, LED set and LCD shadows set. 295 images in total.

Here's a mockup of what the LEDs will (sort of) look like.

I originally posted this in Announcements, but I think Game Programming is the better place for this as it is game?

Here's a look at the LCD mock-up.

I've created a file packer utility, and now it is time to load all this data into PureBasic and try to make it work!

The image URL you post is invalid , or expired or some how , can't display .

@fred
This is a major problem when user or even GOOD MASTER here who want to post article with image showing diagram or application demonstration.

Event if it work for the first day , but it will fail to load or expired later days , when you search the forum , history article with image or .zip URL will not work any more , new or old user will feel like missing in the jungle.

You can't see the images? Strange.. They are showing for me. They are links to images I posted to Discord. Unless I am mistaken there is no way to attach images or files to my posts.

Oh, bugger-all! I'll have to move these over to my webspace or something. I cannot attach, images, correct?

[Carm3D]

I've uploaded the images to my webspace. Strangely, they do not show in the forum, but they are links so you can see them if you click on them.

Not sure what exactly happened but

Good luck

Btw. how does the game exactly work?

You can see them now if you click on the links, right?

It is inspired by the old invaders game seen on 1980s calculators and watches. -except for mine I added a whole bunch of new features and mechanics.. It's gonna be crazy!

Thanks for the additional info.

Yes, but before it was visible in the forum.

The links use http, not https. Browsers usually don't allow http inside a https page. When I click them I can see the images in Firefox. Other browser may not do this. If I change it to https then I get bad cert error. You need to configure you webspace to have a valid certificate for that domain.
I too saw the images within this thread previously. Maybe your certificate just has expired and you need to renew it (and use https in your links).

Looking good Carm3D - nice work.

Ah, okay that makes sense.

Thank you! More fun stuff is cooking. And it's completely unlike anything shown so far!

Who is this guy? He's Marco. Part of a 2-man team for the Digital Infiltrators tutorial videos. He will be rendered with Ogre 3D (if I can figure it out) and he likes his money for nothing and his chicks for free.

If someone is going to teach someone how to use an 80's handheld game, who better to do it?

I want my LCD!
