what should those of us with no dumping tools do? glad theres finally one of these out though

i havnt been able to figure out how to use the freedev setup, when i open devc++ theres no option to start a dreamcast project. maybe having it in enlgish will help...

Wow, nesterdc with online! thats so awesome! thanks scherzo, were all looking forward to your projects!

Ok, I did what you said and tried to complie the PNG example, but I recieved the following errors PNG.elf C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\DreamCast\PNG\PNG.elf NG.elf: No such file or directory. C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\DreamCast\PNG\Makefile.win [Build Error] [all-after] Error 1 Any help would be appreciated. are ...

I think the other post had to many replies so I wanted to make things easier to find: Download this file: http://la.cible.free.fr/DreamCast/Dev-C++/DC-Dev-C++-0.2.rar This file includes KOS 1.2 Gcc SH4 & newlib 2 examples DC-Tool Dev-C++ Template for Dreamcast Projects Download and Install Dev-C...

ya i know what u meant i just didnt think there were so many frames in a walking animation so i thought u were talking about something else

thanks for the help everyone, better start looking for some sprite sheets or something

well metroid is very smooth, i dont think i need that level of smoothness, ill probably stick with 3 or 4.

i dont think ur talking about the same thing i am...like in mario, are you saying that there are 15 pictures of mario each with their foot in a slightly different place?

I am working on a platformer game and I want to know how many different images are needed to make it look like my character is walking. right now I have it alternating between 2 images and it looks very strange, i might be using images that dont work well together...is 2 enough or do i need more for...

thanks BA, the first method suffices, looks pretty good. #include <SDL/SDL.h> #include <SDL/SDL_Image.h> SDL_Surface *screen; SDL_Surface *back; SDL_Surface *charpic; int done, charposx, charposy; int jump_timer = 0; Uint8* keys; int on_ground = 1; int jump_speed = 5; void InitImages() { back = IMG_...

ugh doing that causes some wierd stuff to happen... if ( keys[SDLK_SPACE] ) { if(spacetimer == 20){spacetimer = 0;} spacetimer++; if(spacetimer < 10){charposy-=10;} } if(spacetimer > 10 && spacetimer < 20){spacetimer++;} if(spacetimer < 20 && spacetimer > 10 && charposy < 340...

yes im changing button a to "while (keys[SDLK_SPACE])". so if i cant use a while loop inside an other while loop maybe i can make a timer that checks through how many loops the space bar has been held. once the space timer reaches a certain number, or the character reaches max height, it w...

as soon as i try to put that while loops inside my main while loops it freezes the program. why?

one quick question - what is the var jumpness?

also, i dont quite get how it is suopposed to know when to start falling

ya im a programmer hehe, thanks for the help what i had wasnt working very well: #include <SDL/SDL.h> #include <SDL/SDL_Image.h> SDL_Surface *screen; SDL_Surface *back; SDL_Surface *charpic; int done, charposx, charposy; int spacetimer = 0; Uint8* keys; void InitImages() { back = IMG_Load("back...

one more question...

that code gets him up but how do i make him come back down? i have to code in gravity somehow, should i have a gravity function that always bring the char down unless hes not the ground?

ya, my idea was pretty dumb, thanks for the much better and simpler idea. "Things should be as simple as possible but no simpler" i should have remembered that...

How do people create the jumping effect in platform games like mario/sonic? I was thinking that the sprite could just follow a parabola. so you just have a parabola like: -3x^2+(wherever the land would be) and then make a function that when the user presses the jump button the sprite starts going to...

this sounds like it would be awesome! good luck with this. Im looking forward to it working since I just reformatted and reinstalled XP and my DCDEV environ is gone :( I didnt really like compiling with my MingW anyway, command line stuff and all :x the Dev C++ environ has caused me some problems ev...

well all the emus out there seem to be a bit temperamental with my system, all I have been able to do is get the sega licensing information up and it freezes after that for me.
