Re: Search-Man Game
« Reply #15 on: August 31, 2019, 08:55:48 pm »
I'm trying to make a new version of this game called Search-Man 2 which, if I can do it, would be more fun than the first one. Instead of bombs appearing at random, it has 3 enemies that move through the walls, candies, etc. to go straight to your location in a slow way. The part of knowing what direction to go to I already have finished I believe. But the part I don't know hardly anything about is using the PUT statement to make the enemies leave the graphics behind them that they fly over. And also not leave a trail. I am VERY close though (I hope). I am using an example from the WIKI pages that I found a few days ago and today I put it in the game. One of the enemies fly perfectly without leaving any trace at all or leave any trail behind. But it's the other 2 enemies that I am having a hard time with. They leave a trail of red behind them. Plus there's 2 other enemies that move which I have no idea where they came from! LOL Can someone help me out on this? Someone that has used PUT and GET before to make sprites go over other graphics. I am soooo close I think. The example also uses the WAIT command with numbers that I have no idea where they got them from.  Here is my Search-Man 2 so far. Notice how I use arrays and then GET statements for all 3 of them before the main loop to setup the enemy graphics. The WIKI example only uses 1 sprite that you move, mine has 3 sprites that the computer moves. I tried it without the WAIT statements and got the same thing, but I put them back to show.

Ken,

It seems to me allot easier to erase screen at every loop and redraw background and all in new positions than to draw over only moving items. You would't have to worry about leaving traces of old images.

_PUTIMAGE works very fast putting up images stored in handles, I think it is a GET and PUT wrapped in one by getting an image from one place and storing it or taking a stored image and drawing it back on main screen or isolated assembly "screen".

Ah! now I have idea for fireflys with trails and backgrounds both :)

B+, I tried for hours to try to do that today and yesterday, just won't work because the maze is drawn before the main loop, as  well as the candy and levers. I can easily do that with just you and the enemies, but not with the rest. I would have to redraw the rest as well which I don't know how to do. It would seem you can just copy everything with like COPYIMAGE but it's not that easy to figure out where to put the commands, etc. Maybe I just need a rest for now. lol

Yeah, you'd have to rethink everything from ground up. Completely not your style. But I think you can get POINT info off an image just remember to say _SOURCE imagehandle& is your image before you try.

Your maze can be saved as image, there! it's saved in a container, now you can redraw it when ever needed!

'Draw maze
maze& = _newimage(_width, _height, 32)
_putimage , 0, maze&  'from screen to maze& handle

do
    _putimage , maze&, 0   'from maze to screen effectively clears your screen
   'redraw or _putimage all other action figures

   'process


  _display  ' stop flicker
  _limit x   'put limit on how fast it is allowed to loop around   
loop

Draw one candy and one lever, put their image in a handle, use an array to track their x, y locations

Use _putimage to set the image onto screen where ever you want as many times as you want, saves you from redraw AND erase!

Your code doesn't erase the screen, this:
 _putimage , maze&, 0   'from maze to screen effectively clears your screen.

I haven't changed anything for the candy or levers. I copy the maze (and everything in it), right before the main loop.
Then in the main loop is where I added this:  _PUTIMAGE , maze&, 0   
I tried adding the line (0,0)-(800,600),_rgb32(0,0,0),bf  but that just erases it all and doesn't bring it back.

This is what I have:

Oh man you had an extra _putimage in there around 330, take it out, looks good then at least for the few seconds I watched.

Man you let the red guys go right through the walls!

For candy and levers, you have to track what's not eaten and redraw or _putimage what remains after the cls of _putimage of the maze& same loop, do all processing in ypur GOSUBS but do all the drawing and _putimages in main loop.

arrays candyX, candyY, candyEaten, leverX, leverY, leverGone, MonsterX, MonsterY

do
_putimage , maze&, 0
for i = 1 to Ncandy
if candyEaten = 0 then drawcandy candyX(i), candyY(i) or _PutImage (CandyX(i), candyY(i)), candy&, 0
next
for i = 1 to Nlevers
if leverGone = 0 then drawlever leverX(i), leverY(i) or _PutImage (leverX(i), leverY(i)), lever&, 0
next
for i = 1 to nRedSquares
drawRedSquares MonsterX(i), monsterY(i) or _putimage ( MonsterX(i), MonsterY(i) ), Monster&, 0
next
drawYou youX, youY

'process all updates to characters
Display
limit
loop

There! all your drawing is done in main loop

Setup candy, lever and monster allot like you did with Maze& on different sizes and specify (x, y) locations for _putimage to know where to put them on screen.

Thanks B+. I removed the unnecessary _PUTIMAGE and they move perfectly now! But I am worn out completely. I saved everything you wrote on your last post on a Notepad and will try to get to it sometime soon. But I can't promise anything. Working so hard with so little success on this lately has been a real downer. But I might try what you said sometime this week. Thanks again, at least I learned some things today with _PUTIMAGE. That can be used in an infinite amount of games and programs!

Yeah, _PUTIMAGE is extremely powerful for applications.

You look at it in Wiki and cringe at it's complexity but 4 main elements in order

before 1st comma optional, if no spec then whole screen gets image
1. your specify the box for the destination, the specification is just like drawing a box with LINE
    (x, y)  < top left corner
    -         a dash
    (x + width, y + height)   or STEP(width, height)  (you can Step for top left (x, y) too)

before 2nd comma
2. the Source handle (LONG type best) = where your image is currently located, screen = 0

before 3rd comma
3. the Destination handle (LONG type best) = where you want image to go, on screen or into image container

last after 3rd comma
4. the part of source (like a box on a screen again) you want to store or move to destination

It looks complicated but you can take any part (rectangle) of a source and fit it into any part (rectangle) in the destination area it is automatically sized.

_PUTIMAGE is like a moving van of images, pickup and install as you specify. Pickup is Source, Deliver is Destination, 1 and 4 specify the exact room locations at Pickup or Delivery.

Thanks, with my very bad short term memory problems, that just went through one eye and out the other. So I put it on a Notepad. I learn from experience so I have to use this many times to get the hang of it.

Absolutely, without practice nothing sticks. You can do it, you have the will!
