Help implementing game logic from fish fillets

[glitchapp]

By the way I just suppose you draw the fish yourself?

Yes, it's my graphics Used mouse, paint dot net and about 5 minutes time
The blue fish is just stretched up the gold one, than a little bit reworked.

Cool, your graphics are going to be famous

I've been busy but I haven't finished with the game yet.

Here are the first three levels:

Pgimeno, I used your tables to implement the next levels, which software did you use to capture the levels? Great work they are exactly like the originals! Can you do all of them please

There are three playable levels now!

Yes, but that's only the background. It's all Lua though, so you just need to do some processing to place the objects as well, which are in the same file. I didn't bother and did them by hand, and no, I won't do the rest

However, these levels are designed for the standard rules; if you're changing the rules to a more lax subset, these levels could be too easy. It's a bit like using the standard Sokoban levels while adding pull to the rules.

I added "!" symbols as the level exit, to allow for finishing the level in some other way than exiting through the side.

The rules are not same, they are changing as well:

What news item are you talking about?

If you mean this:

"Disallowed a move, to be consistent with the original Fish Fillets. Pushing of partially supported objects is disallowed. The object has to be supported by a wall or by a fish who isn't directly under it."

it's because the original Fish Fillets had that rule, but they didn't notice it existed originally and didn't implement it. It's a very obscure case that the level designers probably didn't think about.

Oh yes, I have them since a long time, I just couldn't find where the files were. The backgrounds is all I need. Puting the objects it's a lot easier that doing the whole background from scratch so don't worry, I will do all levels.

Can we make an object that once touched set the fish free? and once the two are free start the new level?

The rules are not same, they are changing as well:
http://fillets.sourceforge.net/index.php#news

What news item are you talking about?

If you mean this:

"Disallowed a move, to be consistent with the original Fish Fillets. Pushing of partially supported objects is disallowed. The object has to be supported by a wall or by a fish who isn't directly under it."

it's because the original Fish Fillets had that rule, but they didn't notice it existed originally and didn't implement it. It's a very obscure case that the level designers probably didn't think about.

Pgimeno is right, in the third level for example you can make the small fish pass through the small hole where the oyster and little pipe thing stands without killing it. The small fish can not support heavy objects, it should die instantly. You can also carry the axe without the need of the marmelade can so many parts the puzzle are broken and easier. There are two solutions for that, 1. Implementing the missing rule of the original game, 2. Making new levels according to the current implemented rules. As you wish, Even both things can be done, I can make game states two activate or deactivate rules for different levels.

Darkfrei, I'm doing little aesthetics changes to the drawing part of your library, at least till we have textures or tiles. Please try not to override them if you send me the code. I want to highlight wall borders and also set that the tiles are drawn with at least two colors.

Here are some of the changes I'm doing:

I'm trying to substitute my deprecated table renderer here:

with an adapted versions of yours to keep consistency. The goal is to draw a separate table to highlight contours and edges, basically with an aesthetic function, however I get errors, could you assist me to make your function work please? the file is in: game/levels/drawboders.lua

I also added a second rectangle on the tiles to have two colors, I think it's more pleasant to the eyes, at least till we have textures.

last thing to ask, with that crt effect and the simple colors I'm feeling nostalgia, does anyone knows where to find palettes of old machines like zx spectrum or c64? just to experiment...


If anyone wants to be creative and let imagination fly here there are a few new rules implemented in the second part of the game:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/933186 ... faqs/59533

There are four basic material types, namely, steel bars, normal, seaweed and ice.

b. Actors
== ======
The actors come in four different varieties: Fish-like, crab-like, snails,
and turtles.

c. Other objects
== ===== =======

Starfish
--------
Collect these for bonuses.

Lasers
------
These must be avoided. If any object is placed in the path of the laser,
the laser will not go past that object.

Just something I would like to warn, that is an actual commercial game and I would avoid at all cost trying to copy any of that, I just post it to let you think about how many twist can be made to the rules, but let's keep out of trouble and make original things, I think that would be better.

If anyone decides to help please inform, it can happens that some people work on the same levels and that would be a waste of resources and time. Thanks!

Oh I forgot, the only thing that needs to be done with the level is writing the objects (blocks) and agents with their position and label the objects with heave=true or false depending if they are heavy or not.

This is a small template:

Code: Select all

level.blocks = 
{
	{name = 'chair1',
	heavy = false,
	x = 8,
	y = 18,
	form = 
		{
			{1,0,0,0},
			{1,0,0,0},
			{1,1,1,1},
			{1,0,0,1},
			{1,0,0,1},
		},
	},
}
level.agents = 
{
	{name = 'fish-3x1',
	fish = true,
	heavy = false,
	x = 13,
	y = 15,
	form = 
		{
			{1,1,1},
		},
	},
	
	
	{name = 'fish-4x2',
	fish = true,
	heavy = true,
	x = 20,
	y = 15,
	form = 
		{
			{1,1,1,1},
			{1,1,1,1},
		},
	},
}

Update: Level 4 is done

last thing to ask, with that crt effect and the simple colors I'm feeling nostalgia, does anyone knows where to find palettes of old machines like zx spectrum or c64?

Old 8-bit consoles have 8 bits for all colors:
3 bits for red, 3 bits for green and 2 bits for blue (or 3+2+3 or 2+3+3).

So the colors:

Code: Select all

r = math.floor((r+1)/32+0.5)*32-1 -- 255/32 is 8; keep 8 colors of red
g = math.floor((g+1)/32+0.5)*32-1 -- 255/32 is 8; keep 8 colors of green
b = math.floor((b+1)/64+0.5)*64-1 -- 255/64 is 4; keep 4 colors of blue

Cool! I will use that, there's so much to do that I need to make a list.

I'm busy with the touch controls and the dialogs. I will put everything on a queue because I don't know where to start.

I will be uploading the code to github, if anyone wants to keep track of the game or contribute please check and follow https://github.com/glitchapp/luasok.

A better way to keep updated is just to clone and pull the repository.

That's all by now!
