Just me doin stuff news bulletin:
i think i have a solid concept for a game but again i am faced with the roadblock of i don't know how to use basic. i tried the tutorials but i got as far as arrays and that very moment was when my brain shut the eff down. i could try again but i'm a little lazy at the moment so i'm kinda just sitting makin sprites n stuff. i think i'm gonna keep just doin stuff until i know some more about the language.
i have a couple pretty cool ideas that i've formulated. first one is character select. it's basically just who's sprite pleases your eyes most but also who you play as affects the game in terms of personality. like you play the same game however you cut it but interactions with other characters can play out differently depending on who you play as. and if nonspecific game developed into a series, just as an example, if a direct sequel to entry 1 was made maybe it could be released as an update of sorts where it's a file that gets added to the folder for the original and you can use your save files from the first so the second game knows who you played as so you could continue the story with whatever character you were of course that would be fully optional. just some ideas that hitted me today.
also i'll probably show off some sprites that i've made that i'm proud of soon.
I like how cute your style is. That's the only way I can describe the feeling I get from your sprites. I'll just let you know, your art-style is great!
gotta postpone my 6 month long vacation and ask: i have adhd. any recommendations on how someone with a brain as goofy as mine can learn this programming language? please help i don't want my silly stories trapped in my mind forever.
I RETURN!!!!!!!!
I heard about a cool little boy called multi thread programming. Sounds neat-o. I was wondering if there's a simple way I can do something like it in SmileBasic. Sounds like it might help me a lot. I wanna try getting back into it so I can say I've had programming or coding experience in the future. Also I wanna make myself a fun little game to play around with. Also my art has improved a lot so maybe I'll be able to make visually bearable sprites. So yeah I'll probably be hanging around here to see if I can get a grip and make something fun.
AFAIK you can't multithread in SmileBASIC.
ok so my idea THIS time is called Adventure 2600 and it takes a lot of inspiration from Adventure for the Atari 2600 hence the name. im thinking something along the lines of zelda and maybe possibly having a turn based battle system but that might be dreaming just a bit. i have a bit more of a solid idea for how this one's gonna go like. it starts with a remake/reimagining of level 1 from the original 2600 game to get the player used to the controls and world and of course maybe not EXACT, maybe some tweaks to make it a quick and simple part to complete and then after that's finished the story gets set into motion. im really confident with this one so now all i need to do is actually make it. im not very programmingly inclined but im pretty set on this one so ill try my best and ill be asking questions here or maybe ill make a new thread but i wanna wait until i actually have a working thing before i do that so most questions will land here and ill post some development screenshots and maybe at some point ill get SB4 on my switch so i have a more relevant version of the software to release this on. so yeah uh im gonna try and learn some stuff and get back into a groove with this and maybe ill have something to show for it before next year.
small zombie boy
also his name is scout
i just liked how it sounded
this one's name is maurcie i guess and yes he does look kinda similar to scout. the reason for that is
