20 Second Fishies

[mike_g]

Heres my entry

Its my first demo so I added some pixel art to try and make up for what I lack in programming abilities.

Thanks to zawran and shockwave for help with the coding

I havent got any music making software, so I ripped some of the music from the first level of Gaiares cos its old school, cheesy, & cool Dont know who made it tho so I cant credit em for it

Also I'm sorry for the large download size, its mainly to do with the music. Ironic when its originally about 50k but ends up 1.7MB when zipped as a wav. I guess I got to get something to convert file formats. Anyway hope you guys like it

[edit]Oh yeah and the seaweed and Crack effect might come out looking weird sometimes because they are randomised.[/edit]

Sorry mike, but it isn't working here, I got a MAV (memory access violation), check your WritePixelFast command, maybe you are drawing out of the max screen resolutions.

[mike_g]

Yeah, sorry, I'll do that.

[mike_g]

Hmm.. I dont think I am. I just replaced the one instance where I use GraphicsWidth() because that caused problems for someone once in the past.

Are you running the .bb code from the zip file? I think that would give you a MAV. If its not one of these then I guess I got a bit of a problem   It seems to run fine for me though

[Rbz]

Take a look into the  "F_CIRCLE" function, when I remove it everything works fine...

Did you forgot to display a timer counter ?    See the rules added by Shockwave

Btw, It's a nice entry, welldone

[mike_g]

Sorry I dident check that at first I must have presumed that that wouldent be a problem. Its strange that it wouldent work for you, i got some other people to test it and for them it ran fine. Still I just updated it again replacing writepixelfasts with writepixel so I hope it will work for everyone now. I added a timer in the corner well, cheers.

I am getting a memory access error as well. I am on Win2K.

[mike_g]

I had someone say that they got a MAV when one of the functions returned an integer. I never thought that was possible in blitz until a while ago when I treid it and it worked. Did you use the .exe or the .bb version? I guess I'll have to change the variable returned to a global instead. Lol, i'll upload a new version in a sec as soon as its done.

[rdc]

I ran the exe. I don't have Blitz.

[mike_g]

I uploaded a new version, another answer could be that my new files i uploaded wernt overwriting the files already uploaded.  I hope this works for you rdc

I'm starting to get a headache  now

[rdc]

This one worked just fine. Neat little demo.

[Tetra]

Nice little demo you put together

I especially like robot fish controlled by the smaller fish 

[zawran]

Nice one, and great to see that you got it working.

[Shockwave]

Hehe I was expecting to see tropical fish, I like these lumpy ones better Nice job Mike!

[mike_g]

Thanks guys

[benny!]

Cool. Good entry!

[Paul]

Here is an example,

graphics 800,600
lockbuffer()
writepixelfast(800,600); wont work for most people actually that's outside of the screen

writepixelfast(799,599) should work for everybody.

unlockbuffer()

Edit: download finished, nice demo like the designs of the fish and the bubbles

[Clyde]

Great Job dude

[mike_g]

Glad you guys like it

I am starting to think that maybe I should have put some work into the timer. Have it like a bomb or something that goes off after 19 seconds. Oh well its done now, and I got another little demo in cobra to finish off.

[GrahamK]

Nice one....

and I got another little demo in cobra to finish off.

Now that I like the sound of
