So IJ convinced me to give CHIP-8 a shot after the SA Game Dev Challenge so here I am. Last night I went through his Octo docs and went through his Intermediate tutorial and it was pretty helpful. I have had no previous low-level language or memory management experience, pretty much all of my coding experience is in stuff like VB script or C#. But today I made a little space shooty thing! http://johnearnest.github.io/Octo/index.html?gist=d0c627c9e8183b2f13e8 I initially had just 1 enemy and was storing their info in the basic... registers?... just as an exercise to get it working. Then I had to do a bunch of conversion to get it working with multiple enemies, but now it should theoretically support however many rows I can fit into the enemydata table. Now I have to do the same treatment for the player bullets so you can shoot more than once and I will have a nice little basic game. I am also aware I am doing stuff really inefficiently so I need to go back and clean up the enemy update logic so I don't have to load and save each enemy's data multiple times per game loop, among other things. But yeah, a pretty neat little experiment so far! sighnoceros fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Aug 4, 2014 |

I've finished SPACE DEFENSE! w/s to move up and down, e to fire. You now have to defend against multiple enemies and can have multiple bullets on screen at once. It was a pretty fun experiment for only taking a couple days, especially having no experience with this type of programming in the past. Try it out here: http://johnearnest.github.io/Octo/index.html?gist=6a4a180bb8b94c005410
