[Half OT - Mobile] Mind Storm!

[FNX]

Hello, after toying a bit with Midlet Pascal, tonight i coded my first
"real" game with it, Mind Storm!

Mind Storm! is a Mastermind clone where cpu choose 4 colours out of 6
and you have 10 try to guess them.

-You get a black dot for every color guessed in the right pos.
-You get a black "empty" square for each color guessed in the wrong pos.
-None if you wrong colors and position

Cpu sequence can be everything, it can also repeat colors (eg: Yellow,
Yellow, Red, Blue)



In game keys:

* - start play
# - exit
4 or left - move left
6 or right - move right
5 - select color or submit row or delete last color

Here is the package:

MindStorm.jar

and for those with cables:

MindStorm.jad

Tested on my Motorola V3 and it worked great!
Let me know what you think, compatibility and so on

PS: The game is coded quickly so it can be a bit buggy somewhere

Will not load onto my phone - gives me an incvalid JAR file error. (Motorola MPX200).

Played a bit in the emulator and it looks really nice.

[cairnswm]

Ok - loaded the JAR to my web site and then instaleld to my phone. And it worked Not many JARs work on my motorola MPX200.

Questions - Why not use the Arrow kets and the Fire Button. To me it would make more sense. (Or do them as well.)

When I launch the midlet - I get a little screen saying Loading - did you add that or is it a phone function?

Not my favorite type of puzzle game so I didn't play much. However I think it has been done really really well!

Hi and thanx for the feedback

Actually you can use left or right arrows on phone to move the
cursor but the fire button isn't used. I'll improve it tonight maybe,
it was a 4 hours work (including gfx) so that is not pretty well coded

The loading screen was added by me in the "doInit" procedure while
i load all the gfx stuff but it was soooo quick that i've added a delay(500)
to show it :roll:

The game is not my favourite too but it was my first target to code
something functional on the phone, updates will follow

Now it's better i do something for the compo, i have 0 lines of code and
one sprite done.... aaaaaarrggh! :twisted:

Works and plays fine on my Motorolla V525. The only thing that drove me crazy was having to use "5" to select a colour etc. Please add GA_FIRE as an option to select and no one will complain . Should take you all of 5 minutes to add, compile, test and upload.

PS I think there might be a bug with the logic that tells you how close you are to getting the sequence right.

Hi savage,
I answer here and not on Midlet Pascal forum as I prefer PGD

First, thanx for the feedback.
Second, tonight I'll upload a newer version with all improovements, FIRE,
better logic and stuff.

As I said, it was coded very quickly so I didn't pay too much attention
to the debug phase. I've noticed the bug too and also i'm going to change
that the cpu cannot use 2 same color in the 4 to guess.

Expect the update for later today or early tomorrow, my gfx artist is also
working on better gfx
