Pocket Dungeon

[thade]

true... but this should be clean.

Should I make a new topic for this?

[thade]

ok, I will. Is your computer a mac, It won't work on macs.

[Robot Monkey]

now can you read the red text?

Wait, so it only generates dungeons?

[thade]

*Facepalm*

I have only been working on this for a VERY SHORT TIME! The dungeon generator is a very complicated set of checks and formulas.

Here's a relatively small chunk of code.

Code: Select all

while (createtile=true)
and not global.roomnumber <1
and not global.tilenumber <1
{
createtile=false
spawndir=choose(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
switch spawndir
{
case 1:
case 2:
if place_free(x+8,y+8)
{
instance_create(x,y+16,obj_floor)
createtile=false
;;break;
}
else
{
spawndir=choose(2,3,4)
continue
}

case 3:
case 4:
if place_free(x+16,y-8)
{
instance_create(x+16,y,obj_floor)
createtile=false
;;break;
}
else
{
spawndir=choose(1,3,4)
continue
}

case 5:
case 6:
if place_free(x+8,y-24)
{
instance_create(x,y-16,obj_floor)
createtile=false
;;break;
}
else
{
spawndir=choose(1,2,4)
continue
}

case 7:
case 8:
if place_free(x-8,y-8)
{
instance_create(x-16,y,obj_floor)
createtile=false
;;break;
}
else
{
spawndir=choose(1,2,3)
continue
}

case 9:
;;break;      
  
case 10:
;;break;       

 
}
}

That code takes data from several othe chunks of code about the same size, and one giant chunk of code in a seperate instance.

JESUS MCDONALDS FREE INTERWEB IS SLOW IT TOOK 20MINS TO GET THIS DONE.

Although I suspect the asian guy down the row might be chewing through all the bandwidth...

Anyway when I found the Minotaurus had survived on top of my bunk bed, I went to make a lego PD (prepare for big pics):


After a few different methods, this seemed to work the best and had relatively few problems until you started connecting rooms with ones that were made earlier.

And a LDD version I made, no price tag yet, (not able to do the 120MB update, let alone 2MB for thade's game WIP) but it'll cost waaay too much to ship because LEGO.com's starting P&H price is like, $25.





YAY I FINALLY GOT THAT DONE. SEE YOU IN ANOTHER THREE DAYS.
And in use

[Robot Monkey]

Sick! How come I never thought of that? And I have one of those huge gray baseplates...

[RedShirt]

How come I never thought of that?

Because your brain isn't functioning correctly. Report to the assignment room for a new one.

Just started a lego PD game. Pics up later.

Cool, can't wait to see them! Sorry for leaving the PD quest, Im currently in one of those exam periods, will continue it once they are over

Ok.

[Robot Monkey]

here's the pics!




My character fighting the boss.

I used my quick-PD rules for this.
The rules will be up later.

Is Pocket dungeon no longer 'in' or something?

We were starting online forum games, working on a computer game, posting ideas for the creator...but suddenly it's real quiet...

I played some at school today

[Olothontor]

I've been playing IRL this whole time. Still just as much fun as it was.

It's really just the attention span of the forum.

[RagnarokRose]

Precisely. It's a wonder that we can maintain fourm battles even, at the rate of which people get distracted here.

[parkour86]

So I'm new to this type of game. Is there a video explaining how to play? I read the rules and it was a little difficult to understand the concept of play.
