Honeycomb Rapture CONTEST (Atariage)

Posted by Owen Brand on Monday, December 28, 2009, In : XB Programming

Greetings all,
Once again, I may have bit off almost more than I can chew... I have entered Honeycomb Rapture into the RGPC on Atariage.com. That is the "Retroclouds Game Programming Competition." There are many other great looking games being entered as well, but I think my little game will stand a good chance at least at showing well. =) My friend Karsten is entering a game called "Destroyer." It looks pretty amazing.
Anyway, the deadline for the finished games to be submitted is ...

Joystick Implementation (Honeycomb)

Posted by Owen Brand on Monday, November 16, 2009, In : XB Programming

I have recently begun working on Honeycomb Rapture again. In doing so, I realized that for it to act as a true arcade game, I must implement a joystick function. To do this, I turned to my friends on the Yahoo! user group... Here is a brief summary of what I have learned, and how I was able to tie in all the elements together to make this function work::: First, let me describe how this works in general.

*CALL JOYST returns a "4" when a joystick position change occurs... 4 or -4 on both th...

The Legend of Beryl Reichardt

Posted by Owen Brand on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, In : XB Programming

This game concept has been in development for about a year and a half now. It originally started as a Tunnels of Doom custom game using the Asgard ToD editor. I will try to post the original ToD game to the "Downloads" section of my page. I have no idea how it plays, as it's been over a year since I've even looked at it. I never completed the game, and it is still very much unfinished. If I remember correctly, the graphics are all backwards and reversed. I guess I just got frustrated wi...

Honeycomb Rapture

Posted by Owen Brand on Monday, October 19, 2009, In : XB Programming

After working on "Lemonade Stand" for the past few months, getting it all put together, tested, duplicated, packaged, and sent off to the Faire, I have turned my attention to "Honeycomb Rapture," a completely original game concept, and Oprysoft's second release. Based on the challenges "Lemonade Stand" posed in the areas of "true 'customer interface'" I have decided to make an arcade-style game as opposed to another "simulation" game this time. I have a majority of the graphics completed fo...

Lemonade Stand at the TI Faire

Posted by Owen Brand on Monday, October 19, 2009, In : XB Programming

Well, Lemonade Stand was demonstrated at the Chicago TI Faire, and it demo'd well. I am very grateful to Walid Maalouli for demonstrating the game for me, as I was unable to make it to Chicago for the Faire. I have yet to reveive any feedback from individuals who purchased the game, as the Faire was just yesterday. Those who bought the game have more than likely not arrived home from Chicago yet. =) All the feedback from the TI Demo has been very positive, and the faithful TIers from the...

A little copy and paste fun

Posted by Owen Brand on Thursday, October 8, 2009, In : XB Programming

Copy and paste these lines into Classic99 and listen to a couple of small pieces of music that are in "Lemonade Stand."

Title Page Music:

230 FOR X=1 TO 2
240 FOR I=1 TO 3

Lemonade Stand

Posted by Owen Brand on Wednesday, October 7, 2009, In : XB Programming

Lemonade Stand is nearly complete. There are a few things I have left to add and change, but for the most part, it is shelf-ready. The graphics still need one little tweak, and I have to add a couple things to the main gameplay screen. The music plays beautifully on my Classic99, but for some reason, when I transferred it all over to another computer (another PC) the CALL SOUNDs were garbled. Need to figure that out before I can have it available for online download.
The next ste...
