Mario: The Last Castle Updates

Post by **JS Lemming** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 8:52 pm

I think I'm going to call it "Mario: The Last Castle" unless I think of something better later on. See I plan to make sequels to the game later this year or what ever. Oh and just to give you an idea of how massive this little game is, there are currently 1,942 lines of code, and I'm rappidly adding more.

Wow, I just counted and I only have 1,031 lines in my dreamcast game. The problem is that I don't rapidly add on. I think it is slow and tedious work. Undoubtedly it'll have more than double your Mario game's source for a couple reasons. Mainly yours is meant to be a mini game and the DC game is a full game.

Then there's the C++ vs. Blitz.

You just have to do more crap in C++ to get the same thing in Blitz. I theororize that it takes me 2-3x as long to do something in C++ as it does JSL in Blitz... :?

Remember, I thought it was going to be a mini game. But I said it's to big and koo to fit that low of a title. It will be located under the projects area of the site.

Heh.

In my sigstuff.txt file, I wrote: CODE LINE COUNT @ 8/17/04
graphical thing w/ man: 4,497 lines
MrAdventure mud engine: 16,251 lines

And how's that for some quote tag manipulation? Win :))

Impressive!

What exactly is your MrAdventure mud engine?

Post by **MarauderIIC** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 7:40 pm

MUD, as in Multi-User Dungeon (I forgot to capitalize 'MUD' to clarify it was an acronym :P)

It's an online text adventure engine, essentially. Save, load, combat, experience, npcs, room/world/zone editors, info send/recv via sockets, lots of other stuff that don't immediately pop into my brain... which is why it's 16k lines and not done yet. :) http://www.thechaosrift.com/marauderiic/ has some news and more archived news.

Woot Woot, I've passed 2000 lines! The line count is currently 2,176.

These are the completed enemies so far: Goomba, Killer Goomba, Green turtle, Red Bullet Dodging Turtle, Spikes, and Thwomps.

I'm currently working on the priranah plants normal and Killa piranah (grabs you and swings it's head madly to rip mario apart.)

Hey Mar, that game of yours sounds really koo, be sure to tell us when you have a playable part (guessing its not already playable)

Post by **JS Lemming** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 5:40 pm

Post by **JS Lemming** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 9:28 pm

Back to the Mario game:

I currently have 7 levels completed. Level making is a long and tireing task. So I might make just a couple more and call it quits. Then all I have left is the boss battle and menu screen and such. The game should be done in a few days depending on the homewrok situation.
