PONG & SHUTTLE
I played around with the HP Prime and just wanted to share the results with you. First, there is the SHUTTLE program which draws a Space Shuttle from vector data I once converted from an old AutoCAD DWG file. Completely useless but nice graphics.
The second is PONG, the mother of all Arcade games. It features 3 modes (1 Player, 2 Players, Demo) and 3 difficulty levels. This project caused me some sleepless nights. Even such a simple program takes quite some efforts until it's really playable and fun. Please note that you should play it on a real Prime, not in the emulator (there it runs much too fast). You can download the programs here (sorry, pages in German, however, I'm sure you'll find the download links): Enjoy, have fun! |

RE: PONG & SHUTTLE
Thanks for sharing. The shuttle is a total show off application ha ha ha.
Pong is far from being fluid. I had started something which was I think a bit better (especially on the physical device) but then I lost interest and never spent more time. May be the frame rate would have dropped once completed... I deleted the WIP topic, so here is the original code if anybody interested in working on it. Code:

During development, I noticed a decrease in performance while adding features. I have to do some further experiments to determine which parts need optimization to make the game more fluent. BTW, one thing I learned while developing PONG is that the TEXTOUT_P command accepts a wider range for the font size parameter than documented in the manual. Values > 2 will result in larger fonts, and if I remember correctly, the largest accepted value is 7. |
