Burger Quizz ! Small demo added

Une news en français pour changer, avec ce projet assez avancé : Burger Quizz !
Les graphismees sont un peu moches, j'y travaillerai plus tard (Non je suis pas daltonien, j'ai choisi ces couleurs pour de vrai :-p )

Pour l'instant seuls les Nuggets sont gérés, mais le reste devrait suivre !

Ce qui marche :
- Moteur de QCM
- Gestion de l'écran tactile
- Temps limité par question
- Score
- Adaptation simple pour un passage à une utre langue par exemple (you don' know Jack for example)

Reste à faire :
- Gestion GBFS pour charger les questions
- Gestion du texte avec des polices un peu plus sympas
- Amélioration des graphismes
- Son
- Autres phases de jeu que les nuggets.
- Une capture d'écran qui ressemble à quelque chose :-/
- Et surtout un moyen de tester sur Hardware, IdeaS ne gère pas le stylet et la rom plante sur les autres émulateurs........ Vivement l'arrivée du MK2 !

Une première demo avec juste 2 questions, je sais pas vraiment si elle marche.... http://ben2303.free.Fr/NDS/BurgerQuizz.nds

No news dosn't mean no work :-p

No news for now, but I'm working on a surprise project for french audience... Yeah I said I'll finish Trash Rally DS before doing anything else, so just blame me for that and wait for what's next !

Sprites issues....

I still got the sprites issues, everything is messed up on the upper screen when I set ennemies car to more than 2... I realy don't get it, maybe it's someone that don't work with DualiS... I don't know....

Anyway, I made some code cleaning, I tried another method for switching screen, wich is better (thanx for Mollusk's Freesbee demo :-p ) and I really hope to fix the sprites trouble soon to release a new demo. Well, if I don't fix it I'll get mad and start all over again :-p

Back to work !

Hi everyone, I'm back here to continue Trash Rally DS development !

I upgraded to the latest libnds and PA_Lib, and well... the code is borken, all sprites in the upper screen are messed up and everything is slowed down... It's related to ennemy cars at first sight, I must look a little deeper to find out why.

Some nice sites talked about my project, and one told that it reminds him "DeathRally", I dunno if you remember that game, but it was really great, and Trash Rally DS is soooo far from it :-p
Anyway that made me think of developping a game closer to DeatRally than this one (wich is REALLY basic), I should think a little more about it...

I'll try to have this one stable, with leveling, bonus and some stuffs before I switch to another one, even if I dunno how to really enhance the gameplay :-p

More news later !

Trash Rally DS - Paused for 2 weeks

Hi !
I'mm be on holiday for th next 2 weeks, I'll try to make a couple of update today (mainly code cleaning), but I also need to pack up and do some shopping... Development will continue when I'll be back with foollowing ideas :
- 2 players mode, one on each screen with their own level, ennemys, .... Need to find some ideas to make some "fight" between the two cars (via a power-up system or something)
- fix what's still broken (leveling, barrels, ...)
- code cleaning to have real easy-to use structure (need to put a ref to every structure in the S_GAME one)
- and all the pieces of todo lists around the site :-p

Edit - Well, I had no time for update today, just thought about a couple of more todos :
- multilife system instead of 0 energy and gameover
- Testing on real hardware, the Neo Flash Team gently offer me a MK2, thanx to them !
- Look into PA_Lib 0.5 for news

See ya all soon !

Trash Rally DS - Screenshots

Another screens, the silver car (you), the barrels (notice in the middle the transition between the 2 screens, it needs to be adjusted for real hardware)

By the way I wasn't able to have a good timing between the screens for the tiled backgroud with white lines, so for now they're just not there, like a no-white-line rodad where you can change lane whenever you want :-p

Feel free to ask for the demo !
