Lua Wormz

[Zion]

Hi everyone.

Me and MexicanSnake are making a lua version of worms!

The game will be the based on the same style as the old DOS versions of the game. But will be totaly original in many ways.

We are doing all sorts of things (cant tell you yet) to the game to make it a fast, frantic and hugely enjoyable game.

We will keep you posted of updates and releases in this thread.

Thanks!

[acn010]

[Crimson_Lotus]

I am currently working on backgrounds

[jman420]

well I would be interested in helping you, not sure what kind of assistance would be required, but I do know Lua, In fact I helped Zion learn the basics :p so I would be able to assist with programming the game itself. and as the first person to suggest it, I would like to be a tester, to give a full report of the game. (not just to get the game earlier then anyone else)

[Zion]

Ok Jman, you can be our first beta tester :D But as for the coding, we are getting on great and need no assistance :cool: . Thanks Jman! :p

[mexicansnake]

i got finally the artificial intelligence!! by now the enemy worm can move, jump and "atack"!!

[BL4Z3D247]

Blunt! Blunt? Where?!

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Urrgh, man! Why does PSP get it all?

We need someone to port it to DS with DSLua! PSP doesn't deserve everything cool...

[Shadowblind]

well, if lua runs like it does on PSP then you can just take the file and put it in the DS Lua applications folder, and it should work.

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Pretty much...Does PSP's Lua use the ENTIRE screen?

If not, probably...

In fact I'll go try a Lua script right now...

Might need some button editing, but nothing I can't do.

[Shadowblind]

yes

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Hmm, might need a bit of resolution fix too.

[onecrzyazn]

Hey if you gusy need some menus...hehe im your guy lol

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Hmm...I can't figure out how to run DS Lua...we'd need the coder to figure it out.

Though I can probably make my own script not that hard...if I get someone who's used DS Lua to make a game to give me a tutorial....Maybe I can port something like this based on the DS Lua tutorial.

Let's hope for the best, DS owners.

[Shadowblind]

The package comes in a folder.

If who made DS lua is the same who made PSP lua, then It should work on DS.

Lua is lua coding, not PSP coding.

[lmtlmt]

worms is like my favorite game

[Zion]

Update : I have the title screen & Ingame menu done. Animation is (almost) done and Meicansnake has added a bit more AI. The game is coming along nicely!

Now to add some weapons.......:D

[BL4Z3D247]

great keep the updates rollin :D

[Zion]

thanks! I think the bazooka will be the first weapon i will add :D

[BL4Z3D247]

good choice, what weapons are u puttin in cuz u said ur makin ur own right?

[mexicansnake]

well for the beta we just want to add the bazooka cuz the weapons need a special coding for each one..

[mexicansnake]

yay!!!!!! we got some animation!!!!, now im adding the
weapons!

[yaustar]

Urrgh, man! Why does PSP get it all?

Not really possible, the Lua framework is slightly different so it may take a little fiddling about to get it ported.

Not true. Lua is SCRIPTING. The functions that you are using here (eg loading images) are part of LuaPlayer not Lua and at present, LuaPlayer is Windows and PSP only as it has not been ported to any other platform. From what I have seen in DSLua, the framework is distinctly different.

[BL4Z3D247]

cool, u guys are doin a great job with this

[mexicansnake]

now we have a healthbar!

[The Hombrew Hunter]

ARRGH DS needs a Lemmings and Worms! I could even hack into my WA on computer and see if I can figure out some dynamics...

Maybe open the hex and see mostly what the data's made of....

[acn010]

[mexicansnake]

oh wow, i cant wait

I dont think so, Zion is a good dev and he proved it!;)

[Zion]

[Zion]

Update : We now have sprite animation!!!! and it looks great, after a few headaches, me and Mexicansnake fixed the problem we were having with it!

Progress advancing rapidly :D

[Shadowblind]

like I asked b4, is there anything I can do to help?

[Zion]

ermm, for now we are going great shadowblind,
but, if we need any help (with gfx or sprites) we will let you know! thanks man

[acn010]

[mexicansnake]

oh cool, the progress is fast.


yeah we are doing a good progress, Zion is a really good coder.:D

[Crimson_Lotus]

So far I have been handling the sprites and etc. and helped make them transparent. I don't believe I need much help doing them. If I do, I will let Zion know so he can have someone helpout.

[acn010]
