Works.
Just a test, running full speed, config: A1200, 14 mhz, 2mb chip, 8mb fast. Is a 16 color game. And it is using FULL screen.
Almost full speed at 7mhz speed too. But no enemies added and the logic is very simple for the moment. Just run around and jump. The camera needs a fix, not to direct follow the player but to have some space before it starts to follow. I don't know if you can do it from triggers

Around 120 €. A lot cheaper than in the 90s.

Insane prices that A1200's are going for? If by insane you mean less than half the price they were when they were new, then yes, I guess you're right.

A little over twelve months ago I paid 150 pounds for an A1200, which I considered a lot for what I was getting, and fellow ebay purchasers obviously felt was "too rich for their blood". Yet this is significantly less than you would have paid for one at any time during the 90's.

I wouldn't now had my a1200 since it came out. But they not expensive from what I have seen. Cost of Xbox one game or two

Tried this out on my 030 1200 - looking very promising. What would be good would be to be able to get the x and y variable for the player and the enemies so to use to control the sprites.

Keep up the good work.

[nobody]

yes it has great capacity, and you have to think a little bit like a programmer.

"If this, then that", variables etc, for me is not a problem, i did some lessons in C

I think it needs to improve the level editor for the moment as a priority, i cannot imagine to place 8x8 tiles one by one. Needs the ability to choose multiple tiles at once, same with "tiled"

I am drawing this tileset and sprites to use in this editor specifically and the tiles are 24x24, but i needed some tiles 8x8 for floor so basically tiles are 8x8 but i must have the ability to choose 3 tiles 8x8 horizontally and 3 tiles vertically to draw the map. Way too much work to choose one by one

its is very promising , I've only had a quick play but when i set my 2000 up i'll start making something.

are the games created self executing ? i noticed a player with it

maybe you have to make some start up sequence, load player -- file

[Zener]

RedpillPlayer opens a requester of the project to play, but you can skip the requester using Workbench tooltypes. You can also use CLI to run your games: RedpillPlayer.exe <projectfilepath>

Choosing multiple tiles in the level editor will be possible in the next version.

[nobody]

I updated a bit the "shooter" project. Unzip in folder projects and run with red pill player or edit in red pill editor.


In the zone as galaga.zip

[Zener]

Very well done, good improvements!!

I can update the galaga example in the RedPill distribution with your project if you want

[nobody]

Yes that's why i improved it

[DamienD]

Ooops; well that didn't go too well

I somehow managed to merge all four posts from eXeler0's request "Red Pill" information thread into one post

There's no way to undo this action so looks like I'll have to try and tidy up manually; sorry guys...

This current thread was originally called "Other Amiga Game Creator Program" but I changed it as it soon became all about "Red Pill" in order to make it easier for people to find; which clearly didn't work

[nobody]

version 0.4.6 is out
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzh...dQZVNGNEk/view

v0.4.6
-On the level editor, you can select more than one tile using mouse drag.
-Calculate level limits now works instead of returning maximum size.
-Camera takes into account level limits as camera limits.
-Set target trigger now uses a game object parameter instead of a number.
-Redpill logo is erased once an action takes place, just cosmetic issue.
-Fixed graphic issue when HUD values are updated.
-Fixed possible issue when changing between levels.
-Fixed incorrect collisions when using non static objects.
-Pacman and Galaga examples have been updated. Thanks to Nobody from EAB for the changes to Galaga.

[nobody]

updated shooter again, in the zone as galaga_upd2.zip

1. with more colors now (16)
2. drawn new sprites, of 16bit level
3. more colors on background image
4. added a cool mother ship under your ship
5. fixed the game flow a bit

[Zener]

It's great! Awesome work

[nobody]

Some suggestions for next releases

-fire button player 2 not working(?)
-better map keys Z,X for P1 keyboard fire buttons
-improve camera when turn direction (now is too direct and steep)
-add trigger if collision with object and "frame number is xx"
-add trigger "change to object"
-add trigger "on animation finish"
-ability to copy/paste a trigger to a next trigger
-improve speed to support more objects on screen
-copper rainbow colors editor
-ability to set shot starting position (choose in collision box of the player)
-when left click on level screen get x,y coordinates

I wish I had your graphic skills nobody, just awesome.

Btw. does redpill have an option for checkpoints?

[nobody]

Yes it is extremely flexible but you have to think the solution as a programmer it is not there to pick up and place it, that's why it is miles ahead of backbone and other crap

-put a tile in the lvl editor to act as a checkpoint. A statue , a sign or something. See what is the tile number in level editor when you choose it.
-Place it on map.
-create a variable, name it "checkpoint" then
-make trigger "if tile is xxx": set variable 0 to 1 (you pass the checkpoint and it is enabled)
-add trigger "if health=0, and "checkpoint"=1 then go to x,y coordinates [set position X, set position Y]" that you write before.

[Lemming880]

Ah very nice thanks. Checkpoints will add alot more gameplay options. And the programming sounds understandable.
