Hey Flick, do you think your program could be modified to make things like bushes and trees? (the particles used wouldn't clear out ever frame as to give that 'solitaire' effect).

Yeah, I'm sure I could. I'm not sure how well it work, but maybe I'll give it a shot.

That would be nice but if we're talking speedtree, the trees would have to be more than just particles -- they'd have to be modifiable as objects. Perhaps a tree generator that merely generates the different particles as icons (as you already have it doing) and randomly places them. Each tree would thus be different with its own characteristics.

I already have a bit of code that can randomly generate a map (although the placement prevention is somewhat broken and it places multiple things in one spot some times, like four trees on one tile). I think that is definitely something to consider.

Well, despite my silence lately Hunger has been progressing nicely. A few decisions, and snags have just kept progress much less visual than I'd planned.

I am focusing on achieving a playable demo right now, which requires at least one functioning map, so much of todays progress has been graphical and mapping each demonstrated below!



Maps are currently planned as 75x75, with a 16x16 mode world, and they are broken up into 'sections' which I'll explain at a later date, but the one demonstrated is at least 50% mapped out excluding various primarily aesthetic objects.

The ammo text is also temporary. Maptext is proving to be more limited than I hoped, so I may have to use something more custom to get the size and look I want.

I've come up with some really interesting ideas lately that, Kumorii for one, at least certainly seems to look forward to so hopefully lots of awesome things to come!

Tap A to capture?

I got rid of most of the html/form stuff and switched to an actual interface. Except for the drop down list which I couldn't find a way to do with a .dmf.

I also added a better method to change the icon's background color and added a way to change to speed of the icon animation. I'll try and clean it up a bit and post it tomorrow.

Amazing work Flick ! Thanks for sharing.

@Flick, .... Awsome work,

needs PS2 buttons ;)

BOMBOWO!

I assume its just placeholder art until they have enemy art to add.

Or waterfall mist at the bottom. :)

Added cropping to Particons.

It's a convoluted mess, but it works.

Can you make it show the size in pixels of the area you're cropping? So if I wanted it to be 64x64 I can be nice an precise. Haven't had a chance to test this yet, so not sure if it's already a feature, but if not - whip!
