A version of the famous Bomberman for Gamebuino.

Game is currently in the early stages of development. You can move the player around using the directional buttons, drop bombs and destroy squares that have no fill (the 2 centre columns). An AI will try to chase you down if you are within a seek range although this is a basic AI algorithm.

How to play:

Press A at the title screen to start the game
Direction buttons to move player
A - Drop bomb
B - Debug info
C - Return to title screen

Objective is to kill the enemy, currently they cannot kill you but you can kill yourself with your own bomb.

(totally stole Annyfm's way of setting out project, so thanks for doing the leg work)

I plan to add some form of AI, complex algorithms are probably out of the question due to the low cpu power but going to start with a simple direct seek approach.

I have yet to optimize the code, still have a lot of Serial.print debug calls (for those who want to see them in Arduino ERW, just open Serial Monitor). Game currently runs with 497 free RAM and at 50% CPU

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated, and hi community


Edit:
v2.0 release
v1.1 out

This is some great work!
Obviously laden with bugs (I can walk a pixel into a wall and get stuck)
I'd love to help out - I'm not the best coder ever but an extra brain working out those bugs is always handy.

EDIT: The hex file supplied doesn't work for me. Loading it just sends me back to the loader program.

Hey thanks for the comment. You may need to rename the file so extension is also uppercase, I was a fool and didn't rename it so did the rename via GitHub and forgot the extension.

I have a few plans in the works do far, what you could help me out with is work on the drawing methods, I want to keep my tiles 4x4 meaning I need to render without bitmaps. Maybe you can come up with a render function to render player and an enemy (so they look different)? they need to be 4x4 max tho.

I want to keep my tiles 4x4 meaning I need to render without bitmaps. Maybe you can come up with a render function to render player and an enemy (so they look different)? they need to be 4x4 max tho.

Rendering 4x4 bitmaps works for me, I don't know why though. Here's the code I use:

Code: Select all

const byte PROGMEM bitmap[] = {
        4, 4,
        B01100000,
        B10010000,
        B10010000,
        B01100000
};

[...]

gb.display.drawBitmap(x, y, bitmap);


It draws a 4x4 circle (the last 4 bits of each byte are ignored). I'm not entirely sure if that is supposed to work, but it does.

The bitmap width has to be a multiple of 8, but nothing prevents you from leaving bits empty to draw something smaller, like you did. The bitmap height can be any value.

94k's idea works perfectly.

This would be changed in Player.ino

Code: Select all

const byte player[] PROGMEM = {
  4, 4,
  B11110000,
  B10110000,
  B11110000,
  B11110000
};
void renderPlayer() {
  gb.display.drawBitmap(playerx, playery, player);
}

Thanks for the input guys, never thought about using a 8x8 but only with 4x4 data - will give it a try.

Updated release to v1.1 (be sure to view proper tag on GitHub).

Your project seems to be moving on quickly!

Still having a problem with the .HEX file you supply. For some reason it refuses to flash.

Have a bit of free time so I can focus on it

Do you have an early bird version of the Gamebuino? Mines the one with the coloured buttons and it works fine.

[Matrix828]

I've got the normal version.
I compiled it myself at it flashes fine.
