SFML projects / Bullet hell (Touhou) fangame

« on: April 05, 2010, 02:20:39 pm »

Why don't you try to use already existing Touhou editor like Touhou Danmafuku? =p

Oh, I use Danmakufu a lot. I created 2 boss battles, and released them on Shrinemaiden.

However it is very limited.

What I am trying to create will be much more flexible than Danmakufu, I hope.

Here's a new video.

SFML projects / Bullet hell (Touhou) fangame

« on: April 05, 2010, 01:09:34 pm »

I've only been using SFML since a day and I've already started an ambitious project. It's a Touhou fangame. Touhou is a bullet hell game, a shoot'em up focused on dodging a lot of bullets. Here's a video of my progress for now.



Anyone interested in giving an hand?

I'm planning to make boss battles non-hardcoded, instead scripted in external .lua files that are loaded using LuaInterface.

Oh, the project is written in C#, not C++.

Graphics / 8-direction movement problem

« on: April 05, 2010, 11:40:01 am »

I created a simple 8-dir movement for my game, however when moving in a diagonal direction the player goes faster than intended.

This is the code. How can I prevent it?

            switch (input)
            {
                case KeyCode.Left:
                    nextX = -1;
                    break;
                case KeyCode.Right:
                    nextX = 1;
                    break;
                case KeyCode.Up:
                    nextY = -1;
                    break;
                case KeyCode.Down:
                    nextY = 1;
                    break;
            }

            X = X + nextX * speed;
            Y = Y + nextY * speed;

            nextX = 0;
            nextY = 0;

Graphics / .Center and .Scale

« on: April 05, 2010, 11:37:43 am »

Center is in local coordinates, it is applied before all other transformations. This means that you don't have to change it when you apply a translation, rotation or scale.

Thanks, I understand now.

Graphics / .Center and .Scale

If I modify the .Scale of a Sprite, and then set the .Center to:
.Center = new Vector2(.Width / 2, .Height / 2);

...the center is not in the correct place. How do I prevent this?

SFML projects / Best way to create a tile-based game

« on: April 04, 2010, 08:33:36 pm »

And how should I make relationship between elements? For example, I want a crate to be pushed when a player moves into it.

I could have the code in the Player class (on move, check if there's a crate in the designed position, if yes move both the crate and the player), but it isn't the best solution.

SFML projects / Best way to create a tile-based game

« on: April 04, 2010, 06:22:47 pm »

Hello, I'm new to SFML and its forum, so if this is the wrong section sorry.

I want to create a tile-based game, similar to Sokoban, for example.

I'm using C# and SFML.NET to create it. What is the best object-oriented way to create it?

---

I was thinking to have a class called Entity:
Entity(int x, int y, int z, string type)

And a class called EntityManager that contains a List<Entity>.

Then, for example, to move the player, I search in EntityManager's list an Entity with the type "player", and once I find it, I change its x to x -1.

---

Is there an easier or better way to make a Sokoban clone?
