Sliding Puzle Game!

[ScottieBro1]

I was wondering if someone could help me with graphics for new game.
It's a block nine, block sixteen ect... game.
I would like some numbered blocks 128x128, 64 x 64, ect...
I am more of a game programmer than a graphics designer.
Same as music and sound effects. I'm not a sound engineer but some help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott B.

Are you an Itch member? I suggest that you ask for help or questions here:

Many people are good at making graphics there. For example,

Here's a preview of the sliding block puzzle.
It works great when not clicking all over the place.
I have locked axis to stay one away but don't know why it flips out sometimes.
Can someone have a look at it and let me know what causes the glitches sometimes.
Hit spacebar to scramble. Slide with mouse. Unscramble if give up.
As long as I keep selection one away from zero then select zero all goes well.
I just don't know why sometimes a bad selection screws it up when I have code to handle one away.
Beta testers welcome. please welcome.

hey scott

good to see you still working on projects.

i think i have fixed the issue when randomly clicking around the screen. the problem was you locked in the first valid cell selection but didn't allow for a change until the empty cell was selected. so i just added an if statement to reset the mouse selection (see line 195 in main.pba).

also, i noticed the FPS was low when running the game so i changed the font format type to something else which sped up the FPS. it runs fast now so i needed to add SetFPS 50 so the slide animation was a consistent speed. change this for your liking though.

  i hope this helps, stevmjon.

  Just picking through.. does this play or not ? 


  if you want a binary style random

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

       Y_Sign = Rnd(1)  ;  random direction (up / down)

 
   it's generally better to go 

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

       Y_Sign = Rnd(100)>=50  ;  random direction (up / down)

 

   due to float->integer rounding found inside the RND() FAQ function.  Which is floating point internally.


  I'd probably lay the program out differently, mainly in  one loop and use states. 


    MOCK UP CODE BELLOW
 

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

     do

        gosub Draw_Scene

        gosub User_Input

     loop GameOverState= true
 
     end



Draw_Scene:

     Cls 

        // Draw the picture
        for y  ...
           for x   etc etc
              
              drawimage Map(x,y),xpos,ypos,true
              
         next
        next               

        // do animation during update
        if Moving_Block=true
             drawimage Moving_Block_Image,Moving_Block_X,Moving_Block_Y,true
           Moving_Block_X += Move_Direction_X            
           Moving_Block_Y += Move_Direction_Y
