Tiny Dude

Post by **DarkAuron** » Tue 02 Aug, 2005 6:02 am

Some of you might know of my Tiny Dude series. I'm thinking about creating a simple SSB-esque game with Tiny Dude in it, only 2 players at the same time though, in pure TI-BASIC. If I'm thinking correctly it actually wouldn't be that slow, but it depends. For those of you who don't know what Tiny Dude is, or just want to see all of Tiny Dude stuff on the same page... look no further:

I made a little tiny dude demo on my calc, just to see if it is possible. It supports running(2 separate frames), kicking (2 frames) and blocking. It runs pretty fast on a 6mhz calc. I would upload it somewhere, but i still have no cable..

I too tested my copy, mine doesn't have kicking or blocking but he stops into a standing position if he's not moving. It runs really fast at 6mhz and sick-fast at 15mhz, so if I put a delay at 15mhz it displays perfectly with no pixel lag.

Yeah mine has a standing position too. I'm not too happy with the speed, i should optimize it a bit. But i am really picky for speed, i NEED high fps

.

Too bad tiny dude always looks to the left in my program.

Mine would be standing, running, jumping, kicking, crouching (I need to make a crouching frame anyways), and blocking by now if I had good batteries for my calc

Edit: Oh, here's what I *did* manage to make:

lol mine is faster. How many pixels does it increase every time you press the

key?

about that,

Code: Select all

b_call(_SetExSpeed)

If I have a nostub program with that in it at the beginning of a basic prog
and a set speed back to normal at the end of the basic prog, will it run faster in the basic program?

No, on an SE basic progs run at 15mhz natively. I don't know how you could set that down. Hell even the homescreen seems to be step up to 15mhz at certain times.

what if i wanted to set it to FF (max) and then set it back to regualr, would i be able to do that or would the os reset it when i exit the asm program that called it?

Wouldn't do squat.

So you already have tiny dude in a game? If so where can we download it?

*Edited for good reasons, further posts may be confusing.*
Nope, it's not a game, just a bunch of testing. And no, you can't get it anywhere

At least not yet, I don't know if it'll be considered a game anytime, it's just an experimental thing.

Sorry man it was just a question.
