GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 02-01-2016 10:17 PM Hi Everyone, I've been following a tutorial on building an Outrun style racing game. My kids and buddies think it is now ready to unleash. Have fun and let me know what features you'd like me to try to squeeze in next. How to install this app:
How to play
Limitations
Thanks
RE: GAME: Racer - Forrestglade - 02-01-2016 11:15 PM I can't get it to work on my Prime (hardware version A and updated to latest firmware on calc+connectivity kit). The app will start in the calculator and show me the help screen. When I press "view" then "2" it counts down from 3 to 1 and then freezes on 1. ? ? ? It does the same thing for both the emulator and the real calculator. I don't really care if the game works or not but I thought it was cool that you put in the effort and I thought I'd give some feedback. Edit: After a day or so I tried to play the game again and it worked correctly. I only lightly use my Prime so there shouldn't be very much in the memory. I also have hardware version "A." This reminds me of the racing game on my grandpa's Vectrex machine; good memories. RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 02-02-2016 03:52 AM Download the latest version, it should work fine now. RE: GAME: Racer - Mic - 02-03-2016 12:36 PM Great work ! RE: GAME: Racer - cyrille de brébisson - 02-05-2016 05:51 AM THIS IS SOOOO COOOOL!!!!!! Great work! Cyrille RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 02-16-2016 09:52 AM I've posted v23 which should fix problems starting the game. Download from the link at the top of this thread. Some people experienced a problem with the zip file yesterday, so I've re-zipped it and it all seems to be working correctly. RE: GAME: Racer - Eddie W. Shore - 02-21-2016 04:22 PM Wow - amazing. RE: GAME: Racer - Kevin Ouellet - 02-25-2016 06:12 AM Wow this looks great! I had in mind to make a similar program in the past, using BLIT_P instead (like the guy who made Trailblazer Prime two years ago), but I was too busy with other projects to learn how to do it and I was planning to use a smaller resolution then zoom in with BLIT_P afterwards. Keep up the good work. RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 03-01-2016 10:18 PM V28 is now available. This adds:
RE: GAME: Racer - critor - 03-16-2016 06:29 PM Very nice. Now let's just add sound and we can replace our Sega Outrun arcade cabinets with HP-Prime calculators : RE: GAME: Racer - KlaasKuperus - 03-29-2016 10:17 AM This is really great! RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 04-11-2016 07:41 PM v30 is now available. Minor update adds:
RE: GAME: Racer - Kevin Ouellet - 04-12-2016 05:22 AM THanks for the update. I will download it soon. RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 02-14-2017 10:06 PM v32 is now available. Minor update adds:
RE: GAME: Racer - wangchong01 - 06-08-2017 01:34 PM I have simnplified the code a bit so that the game could play on the real HP Prime more quicker.I think that frequent assignment to variants should be avoided to impove the speed, hope you can make the game quicker. RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 06-08-2017 07:16 PM Thank you for the suggestions on improving Racer. I certainly would like to speed it up as that would allow:
Whilst you've made the code much shorter, it has lost some readability which may make further changes difficult. It also doesn't seem to work at all well on the Mac virtual Prime - which is a shame as v32 added support for the virtual Prime. On my physical Prime your version seems to have a few problems - like the road width is incorrect and hence the other cars are sometimes off the road. However it also seems to run slower. Have you posted the correct version or was this just a concept to allow further optimisation? Regards, Mark RE: GAME: Racer - wangchong01 - 06-09-2017 04:50 AM Sorry for uploading the wrong version.However,I have deleted the correct version.The version attached is added with more functions such as maxpower and speed reduing while climbing up,but I didn't change the rendering function.I think you can use the TRIANGLE_P fucntion to make the game more quicker.The sample of the function is also attached. RE: GAME: Racer - Mark Power - 02-12-2018 10:03 PM v35 is now available. This is a minor update:
