Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi everyone,
  I've been working on this game for the last week or so now, so thought it was time to show off the progress so far.  There is still a fair bit to do, but I'm pretty happy with how it is coming along.

So I present to you CMM2 Max-E-Man.  It is playable, there are things that are not working or not implemented yet, see the todo list in the readme.tx file for what I know needs to be done.

Any feedback appreciated.

Enjoy,
Martin

Good format and nice movement.

  realmnm said  It is playable


How? I got no response with a nunchuk, and didn't find that arrow keys did anything. I haven't played this since it was an arcade game when it first came out, so wondering how it should work?

Nicely done. You can tell the AI isn't spot on yet, but it is close!. player movement super smooth and the game functions great.

Looking forward to trying it out again when its finished

The readme states that you need to enable the nunchuk support in the top of the program. regarding movement, it worked fine with the arrow keys for me, through USB. didnt respond through serial though.

Thanks. I read the readme and saw "nunchuk", so went and dug mine out, unused for years. Then it was several hours until I got to where my monitor is, and I had forgotten about having to enable it. And I don't have a keyboard connected, just the laptop.

Now it works--great job--and I have to remember what it is I'm trying to do and how to accomplish it.

Great work in progress Martin,

I now have to find my Nunchuk and give it a try..

I havent seen it since I bought one to test the alignment of my cutouts for the front panel.

It needs sound but I am sure it is in the ToDo list..

Keep up the good work

Kind Regards

Mick

Ok, it's finally here, the new and greatly improved version of Max-E-Man (V0.7).  It has a lot less bugs, and a lot more features, including sound.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have had in getting it to this point.  It's still not finished yet, but the todo list is getting shorter.

Support for the Nuckchuck in the front port if detected.

Press the 1 key or the Z button on the Nunchuck to start, use the arrow keys or Nunchuck joystick to move, press ESC to quit.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Martin

Hi Martin,

Great job I think this is `almost perfect'

I does need a volume level control.. I run my sound through a logitech bluetooth speaker and it seems the touch volume buttons dont work when fed via the AUX input so the roof tiles get blasted off my roof.

I tried adding a volume command in at the start but I assume you have set the volumes when you play  sounds

Looking great anyway.

If you feeling bored... A good rendition of Galaxians would go down well

Kind Regards

Mick

Thanks.  it still needs some more before I am happy with it.

Unfortunately, I had to use the DAC command to play the sound without killing performance, and that doesn't use the volume commands.  I would have to adjust the samples to change the volume.

I can neither confirm nor deny that it is on the to do list.

The "MATH SCALE XXXnoise(), scale_amount, XXnoise()" command should work perfectly for this. Arrays with 1 dimension work fine for scaling.

==============
Alas, Max-E-Man (V0.7) falls over and plays dead when I try to run it.
The error is line 69: data chase, scatter, chase, scatter ...
'Error: chase is not declared'
Looks like the variables/constants in data statements issue.

MMBasic v 5.05.05b10

Thanks, I will look into it.

If I fill the const values into the data statements, change the rgb colour words to capitals and ensure I run it from the correct directory, it runs beautifully.

Very nicely done!

About the only annoyance to me is the keypress handling. Your code only checks the first keydown so cornering is sometimes slightly difficult if I've ham-fisted multiple direction keys.

My nunchuk also has trouble hitting the down direction. I often overshoot my desired passageway and end up as fodder. At least I don't have to feed it quarters.

All in all, pretty spectacular in my mind. You are setting the bar very high for the rest of us! (I love the ghost names. Especially Bruce. Did ELO sing about him?)

I agree with everyone else, that is awesome, just like the real thing

I must sort out a sound solution for my CMM2 so I can enjoy it fully

This is amazing work.    A "pixel perfect" port of this game was something I wanted to create back when I was learning BASIC. I decided it was impossible. 40 years later ...

New version 0.71 fixes issues with CONST used in DATA statements.

Requires firmware Version 5.05.05b4 or higher.

I tried to put in a check for firmware versions, but that didn't work as well as I would like, so for now it is not being used.

Enjoy.
