End of 2017 Programming Contest

well my game is going slow but im here as usual to post some small updates and a poll, so first off, im gonna aim to have a demo for my game by December 5th. not obviously im not pushing for it but thats my general date i would like to have something by, so no promises or anything, just a "aiming for that date" thing. ill try to start posting pictures soon but im mostly setting up stuff right now so theres not much to show.. anyways once i finish the sprites for the first scene i can start showing stuff. poll time now. [poll=p260][/poll] and lastly [poll=p261][/poll]

My game is a christmas themed santa platformer, but my coding became super slow because i'm experiencing the worst experience in my whole life yet... Our dog recently died

That is so sad...

Oh god... Probably the most important thing that i need to do is jumping, but i don't know how...

Nvm i got it

Are you sure? I was about to give you a sample program for demonstration of it.

Well you still can. Who knows if i'll update it

Ok, I’ll get it uploaded:

Spoiler

Key: VKENY4G6 @EveryoneWhoSeesThis, it’s made by @seggiepants, all credit goes to him for it.

There's one problem... I don't have the GRP5 and MAP files and if i change it to mine then it's just a black screen with BEEP 6 and BEEP 9 going on and on

I decided I’ll just give the key for the folder that the jumping game in, it has about 10-15 programs that demonstrate different things (again, made by seggiepants)

Spoiler

]KEY:RVDK4W3 You can find the jumping in “PLATFORM”

Thank you, there sure are a lot of samples that may be helpfull sometime

So does that mean I can use the platform code as a base for an entry? Wasn't sure if it counted as a allowed library. By the way, glad you got some mileage out of the code.

Well now it's on SBS (if it wasn't already), so i guess yes

[poll=p263][/poll]

so with the game I'm making there are lots of explosions and cutscenes so I was wondering if anyone had a good explosion effect I could use, I know how to make them but I was hoping someone had one I could use because mine would be pretty bad soinding probably.. Oh and who's up for some crime! Getting ready to do stuff. I'm thinking I'll sety theme as "crime" or fast paced theme. Anyways

So something like SB GTA?

Anybody knows how to transfer a sprite from the upper screen to the lower screen like in GAME4SHOOTER?

one way is xscreen 4 upper and lower screen combined but the top screen gets as big as lower screen. 4 is what game4 uses.

Oh looks like i'll have to make separate sprites for both screens then

no, not with xscreen 4 when the sprite gets to bottom of top screen it moves to top of bottom screen if you use XSCREEN 4!!!!!

I know. you don't have to yell at me. _:'( I can't use XSCREEN 4 because i have already fully used the upper screen and i don't want to rebuild the code
