GLBasic - en / Pegasus and the Phantom Riders

« on: 2021-Aug-03 »

Long time no see chaps?!
Gotta do a break from my TRS80 Color II (dragon) Basic game, it is quite a big project and I can´t let it burn me out.

So, time to do a quick GLB game, it will be a JOUST game, a mix between the game on title and Buzzard Bite, both from that same machine.
I will start by posting references, I´m confident you guys know JOUST, but Pegasus? here was me playing it live:

Buzzard Bite on the Dragon is more of a normal JOUST clone, but gameplay is better, controls and what not, here a general tube stuff:

Announcements / Call for arms - itchio black friday

« on: 2020-Nov-14 »

Hello chaps, I´m checking with my fellow devs that have stuff on sale on itchio so we organize a bundle for the black friday.
We thought about putting maybe 2 games each for 50%, meybe less if we can get a bunch of people onboard. I think quantity is important here.
A friend of mine has a game with versions for mega drive (genesis) so I thought we could also consider retro stuff.
Anybody be interested?

Announcements / Working on a TRS-80 Color / Dragon game and more!

« on: 2020-Jul-23 »

Hello chaps, after quite a while doing games based on the COCO and with the retro push from Matchy, I thought to do a game on the real thing, in BASIC.
Now why is this here? Because if I ever get to pull an "ACTION game for an 8 BIT system in BASIC", and if you are over 35 LOL giggling, it will be a bliss to port it to PC-WIN and extras through GLB, and I will sure do that so the game reaches more people.

Here is one punchy punk;)

Announcements / The Outhouse

« on: 2020-Feb-20 »

Hello chaps,
new game ongoing, something I already had graphics done. I hope to be a quick project <1 month.
Since I broke my main hand last year, I haven´t been able to properly draw by hand or computer, but coding is fine, we just need 2 fingers!

Anyways, I plan to bring major updates to this thread.
It is a pc-win game that is to mimic the trs-80 color computer (coco I or II) capabilities.
In this case, the semigraphics 4 mode, a very weird one, but fun to deal with.

This is to be an "updated" version of an 1981 game called OUTHOUSE, first released for the trs-80 model I/II/III and later for the coco itself, but the least one in high resolution graphics.
Let´s see how it works out. I´m making it of here on this thread:
https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=69502.0

Here is the intro, title and game start going about:

Bug Reports / exe with trojan

« on: 2020-Feb-19 »

Microsoft security essentials running on my win 7 system every now and then dictates that the .exe I create when compiling a glb code is infected with trojans like:
Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml
Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

A friend also informed me this happened on his system after running a game of mine.
Any hints about such?

GLBasic - en / Playmusic freeze

« on: 2019-Jul-17 »

Hello there, quick question:
I have been getting a quick computer freeze every time music is played with that command.
Mp3 is horrible as it takes more than a full second, raw wav takes 1/10 of a second. But all motion freezes.

What the heck, that did not happen on my old machine but happens on my new one, which was a lot of trouble taking win 10 out to use win 7, lots of drive problems.

So, is that only on my side? Is anyone experiencing problems with playmusic and loop?

Tried v16 steam and no good either, tried at 2 friends pc and wav raw had no problem, which leads me to think my drivers are bugged.
One could switch to playsound though. What do you guys think?

GLBasic - en / Smooth scroll

« on: 2019-Mar-03 »

A quick question before I open a proper thread.
I´m working on a sidescroller shooter with paralax like Shadow of the Beast.

I´m having a float add to the scroll with percentages but I sense a bit of jagging, probably when a layer does not move in rhythm with the rest.
would it be better if I break a loop in cycles and feed a pixel to each layer per cycle when appropriate? Or would that be the same?

I kind of sense that all adds to the layers must not be broken, like 1, .5, .25, .1 or at least decimals, but never something like 66.66.
It all has to be able to sum to 1 so it keeps a rhythm, Am I tripping here? What do you guys think?
