AutoiTRON - Complete rewrite

[monoceres]

Thought I never update this...?

New version! - Complete rewrite!

I took a look at this project some time ago and the source looked like sh*t.

So I decided to rewrite every single line and apply the things I learned since the first release.

I'm actually quite proud of the result so here it goes

http://monoceres.se/Uploads/autoiTron.zip

Controls:

P1: WASD

P2: Arrow up,down,left,right

Backing in menus, exiting: Esc key

New game: Spacebar

I tested this on xp in my virtual machine and it had two problems (no in game text and the floor isn't probably collision detected), but I'm not sure if it's my VM or xp so it would be great if someone running xp could confirm so I could fix it

And for archive purpose, here's the old version:

autoitron.rar

Note: Even though the bot it rewritten it's still equally dumb as before. AI is hard!

Woow! Im supriesed ! This is realy simple but also really good coded script You may add some sound or graphics, but from the coding site i dont see any misteakes (meaby add some options like setting the colors and speed ?) Keep it going !

Little bugs I have founded:

1)If I manualy change the speed (change sleep's) colision detect is bugy

2)Few times after runing the script i havent the board with "Press Space" label, the whole screen was grey

Great! I love it!

[A. Percy]

Great!

But I think to use prospeed to improve graphics.

When I open it all that is show is a solid grey screen, no instructions or anything. Pressing space starts the game but this just seemed strange.

Thank you for your comments!

2)Few times after runing the script i havent the board with "Press Space" label, the whole screen was grey

1) What sleep did you test? I don't have any problems changing the sleep (The collision detection shouldn't be affacted by sleep)

2) Since I don't use a grey brush it must be the background color of the GUI, maybe it was redrawn?

If it's because the window was redrawn, I will fix this in next release with GUIRegisterMsg()

But I think to use prospeed to improve graphics.

I will definitly look into it! It looks really great!

That is strange, GDI should clear the screen to black after started and the text should be visible

Maybe GDI didn't start up properly?

Sounds pretty good to me, well maybe just the second part.

Well the first I haven't been able to reproduce (are you sure player 1 won when he crashed into himself?) and the second is exactly like I made it

[sensalim]

Very neat. We need the bot so we can play single player .

ideas:

>Bot: 3 difficulties (st00pid, good, awesome) -- or 2 (good and awesome)

>Lives (start with 3), get new life after x seconds alive (timer reset upon dying)

>Bonuses:

(common, frequent spawn)

.Place Bomb...... Spell. Place a bomb nearby you (at the time of casting). Bomb acts as a wall.

.Remove Bomb.. Spell. Disarms a nearby bomb (if any).

(not so common)

.Sticky Shoes ... Enchantment. slow yourself down for x seconds

.Haste Other ..... Hex. Speed up opponent (if more than 1 opponent, speed up random opponent) for x seconds

.Eraser ............ Spell. cut (erase) part of your 'tail'

.Magic Mirror .... Enchantment. For x seconds, next time you get a hex, it fails & the one casted it gets that hex instead.

.Steal Shoes...... Spell. Strip off opponent's enchantment (if any). If any enchantment stripped, you gain a random spell.

.Transfer Hex..... Spell. Transfers one hex and its remaining duration from you (if any) to nearest opponent.

.Lower IQ.......... Hex. For x seconds, next time target uses a spell or casts an enchantment, it fails.

(rare spawn)

.Restoration....... Rare Enchantment. For x seconds, you cannot be hexed and if you die, you will gain 1 life back. If this enchantment ends prematurely, you gain a random spell.

... you can tell I play Guild Wars

I have been woring on the bot today and it's a real pain in the ass! I'm currently working the basic survival instinct and it's quite annoying, so don't excpect to much on the IQ of the bot

Really like your idea with bonuses maybe I include it in future releases!

Sweet game. would be cool to make it multiplayer over the net.

[James]

That is one amazing game! If only you had made this for the AutoIt game comp! I think you should also draw the map edges because we couldn't see when it ended.

Maybe some sound aswell?

[monoceres]

New version, read first post

[Delta]

Slight bug with the bot.

Also got this error when the bot tried to hit the floor.

C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\Desktop\TRON.au3 (285) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.: 
If $grid[Ceiling(($fx2 + ($size * $fx2dir)) / $size) ][Ceiling(($fy2 + ($fy2dir * $size)) / $size) ] = True Then 
If ^ ERROR

[LIMITER]

COOL !!!

[James]

Nice! I have the same problem as Delta. I think you just need to edit where the checking of a player snake is. It's out of place slightly.

Edit: There is a lot of whitespace in your code. Remove it to shorten down the script.

Oh, the first time I played Player vs Player, this happened:

[i542]

Cool game nice as rest from high-graphic games...

[James]

While I was eating, I though about a couple of things!

• You should let the player(s) pick the snake colours
• Highscores - Longest times played for, longest snake
• Change the background colour to images/colours
• Player(s) names

Anything else I think of I shall post here!
