A compo for the lazy of us.

[{Nathan}]

Heres a compo that will last until August 31, starting when you read this (because I know you will get started ASAP). Here it is.

A low-line pixel scroller!

here are the rules: at least 3 tiles
at least a 20 by 20 map
no random generation
must be pixel by pixel
can be in freebasic
if you chain to another program, it still counts as code. it is how many lines of code you have.
and NO COLINS!!!

hmm. I might enter that. Is there an fps limit?

EDIT:
Here's my entry

Code: Select all

SCREEN 13
DIM tiles%(19, 19, 2), map%(19, 19), mapx AS INTEGER, mapy AS INTEGER
FOR i% = 0 TO 399
tiles%(i% \ 20, i% MOD 20, 0) = (i% \ 20) XOR (i% MOD 20) + 16
tiles%(i% \ 20, i% MOD 20, 1) = ((i% \ 20) + (i% MOD 20)) \ 2 + 16
tiles%(i% \ 20, i% MOD 20, 2) = SQR((i% \ 20 - 10) ^ 2 + (-10 + i% MOD 20) ^ 2) + 16
map%(i% \ 20, i% MOD 20) = INT(SIN(i% \ 20) * COS(i% MOD 20) * 1.5 + 1.5)
