Project - Mega Bargin Hunters - Help / Updates

[matteus]

Mega Bargain Hunters
Loosely based on the UK Bargain Hunt game show, obviously removing any character references and anything associated with the show, etc. The general idea is you choose a expert who specialises in a specific field, you choose a flee market / place to buy bargains, your expert gives you a run down of the items you can choose from at the flee market, you haggle with the seller, purchase the item, once you have 3 items you select an auction house, sell items at auction house and try and make a profit.

Nope all my own work All my own code base from scratch. Well based on a game I wrote years ago!

I must admit I'm paying a pixel artist to do portraits and items for the game. I'm no good at pixel art unfortunately! I'm not so bad at GUIs though!

[matteus]

Another brief update I've been offering friends and family the opportunity to star in game in exchange for the cost of the pixel art so you'll notice several portraits have changed.

The plan is to replace them all I've 60 in game items that I need to save up the cash for too. So progress will be slow you'll see lots of parts of the game with place holders.

Hey that is looking really good. Looks like you've achieved a hell of a lot.

Just as a note the expert selection screen reminds me of the choice of racer on Micro Machines.

Haha its the checker plate isn't it? Infact the whole thing looks like it! Lol

I think I've a bug in my code somewhere! This code does not fade in smoothly it flickers?

Code: Select all

            memcpy(&palette[0], layout_image.palette->data, 16 * 2);
            memcpy(&palette[16], Lots[LotItems[0]].LotPortrait->palette->data, 16 * 2);
            memcpy(&palette[32], Experts[0].Portrait->palette->data, 16 * 2);
            memcpy(&palette[48], font_pal.data, 16 * 2);

            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[0], Experts[ExpertNo+2].Portrait, -64, EXPERT_POSITION_Y, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[1], Experts[ExpertNo+1].Portrait, 32, EXPERT_POSITION_Y, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[2], Experts[ExpertNo].Portrait, 128, EXPERT_POSITION_Y, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[3], Experts[0].Portrait, 224, EXPERT_POSITION_Y, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE));
            SPR_setNeverVisible(&Sprites[3], 1);

            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[4], &border_sprite, 113, EXPERT_POSITION_Y-15, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[5], &border_sprite, 183, EXPERT_POSITION_Y-15, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[6], &border_sprite, 113, EXPERT_POSITION_Y+55, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[7], &border_sprite, 183, EXPERT_POSITION_Y+55, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE));
            SPR_initSprite(&Sprites[8], &host_sprite, AVATAR_POSITION_X, AVATAR_POSITION_Y, TILE_ATTR(PAL2, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE));

            SYS_disableInts();
            VDP_fadeIn(0, (4 * 16) - 1, palette, 20, FALSE);
            SYS_enableInts();
