FPC Valkyrie / Need to be able to create voutput buffers
« on: March 21, 2007, 19:29 »
That sounds cryptic , but is quite simple ;)
I want to be able to have the map draw to the output, and then for example the inventory writer to an output buffer, and then first I draw the map, and then overlay with the inventory screen buffer.
Also, in my grep results I saw you have a dungeon generator and drunk walking, you need a tutorial on that ;)
Cheers,
T.

FPC Valkyrie / Some Pascal Object help
« on: March 15, 2007, 07:15 »
I could find it on Google I guess,
but my questions here could illicit some design advice as well.
I am planning to have door tiles with a door Entity, so that when the player bumps into the door , the door knows it should change the tile it is on to 'open door' and remove itself from the map ( destroy itself ? ).
Now ( starting from the roguelike tutorial ):
- Is it possible to assign 1 door entity to several different cells to save memory ( in that case I would not destroy the entity )
- How do I know if object x is an instance of class y ? What is the keyword in other words ?
- How do I pass the bumper to the entity ( do I use self or this or still some other keyword ? )
if Cells[tx,ty].Entity <> nil then
Cells[tx,ty].Entity.bump( this or self or myself or what ? )
exit(False);
end;
-How does one do casting of an object ?

FPC Valkyrie / I want a lua tutorial
« on: March 14, 2007, 13:51 »
The compilation speed of fp is driving me nuts!
Its 1992 all over again !
So an alternative I want to look into is lua script plugging ;)

FPC Valkyrie / Minor inconsistency for different screensizes ?
« on: March 14, 2007, 11:01 »
Hmm,
did I mention that I can get prolific and drive people nuts ;)
Anyways
I modded Valkyrie to work with 50 lines and grep told me that these lines should not use 25 but Output.ScreenSizeY instead ;)

T.
Edit : use "delphi" syntax highliting, I modded it so it looks fine on the forum

Anyways
Code: (delphi) [Select]
,
vtextut.pas: if Sub = '' then Output.DrawString(3,25,LightGray,'@BArrows, PgUp, PgDown, Home, End, Escape')
vtextut.pas: else Output.DrawString(3,25,LightGray,Sub);
vtextut.pas: if Sub = '' then Output.DrawString(3,25,LightGray,'@BPress <Enter> or <Escape>...')
vtextut.pas: else Output.DrawString(3,25,LightGray,Sub);I modded Valkyrie to work with 50 lines and grep told me that these lines should not use 25 but Output.ScreenSizeY instead ;)

FPC Valkyrie / TimeLine
« on: March 14, 2007, 10:23 »
Hey,
every RL after a bit of tinkering has different speeds, effects that work after a while, and effects which only last a certain amount of time.
So a standard valkyrie object with 2 add methods :
timeline.add( actor , howmanytimeunitsfromnowwillitact? );
timeline.add( actor , whenwillthetimedeffectstartexpressedinunitsoftimefromnow? , whenwillthetimedeffectendexpressedintimeunitsfromthestartofthetimedeffect? )
The first method would add the actor to the timeline-slot, once the timeslot is reached it would call the 'doYourThing' method of the actor
The second method would also add the actor to the timeline-slot, also call 'doYourThing' but then once the actor should stop it would call 'stopYourThing'.
Ofcourse I leave the naming up to you ;)
then finally I would need a timeline.run or something to call from the main method ;)

FPC Valkyrie / Issues with vutil.pas
« on: March 13, 2007, 14:01 »
vutil.pas(303,14) Error: Illegal expression
vutil.pas(303,14) Error: Illegal expression
vutil.pas(303,14) Fatal: Syntax error, ";" expected but "identifier RANDOM" f
vutil.pas(3,24) Fatal: Compilation aborted
Do I need a special for the random instruction ?
It would be hard to write a roguelike without some randomization ;)
Cheers,T
PS : I downloaded free pascal from the web for windows with the installer and then put my source straight in the valkyrie folder.
