If this is what I think it is, a counting program. You are doing a good job. I actually began with something like this

[Haven't tested this yet]

[PSProgramer]

screens??

[Slasher]

Light_Alex? are you kidding me? lmao
You even sign some of your posts as "LAX". lmao x2
You are a real piece of work.

[seanpaul223]

screens??

I agree..
So ?

[joseph10444]

cool
tyring now

[a_noob]

Hehe this is a joke :P

One question why 1000 and not 1337? :P

[michaelp]

Because he can't count that high??
Anyways, screens or else!

[joseph10444]

in the future
can you add support for custom numbers
always 1000 seems kinda old after you try 1000 over

when waiting until like 800, you do nothing
so im just adding a suggestion

[TurtlesPwn]

for i = 1, 1000 do
    while not Controls.read():cross() do
        screen:clear()
        screen:print(0,0,i,Color.new(255,255,255))
        screen.flip()
    end
end

Not to be an ass but does this provide any more functionality than the snippet above?

forgot ur flips

There was a game like this a few weeks ago and, although it had a poor presentation, it had better mechanics than this. You are not going to enter this into the PSPUpdates Homebrew Competition for real are you? Also, this does not count to 1000 seconds but rather 10 seconds(was I wrong to presume this?).

I applaud you for actually using graphics in this, though, unlike the previously mentioned homebrew, but still, this is not competition material.

[Light_AleX]

It took me a short time to make this.

It really was just for fun.

Custom numbers may come when I have time in the next few weeks.
I'm making something else.

I'll try to make it faster. Seems like the graphics are lagging the thing.

@wicked_fable
How long would it take to count until 1000 seconds??

-Light_AleX

PS. As for the splash screen, I dunno why I put it in there...
I also don't have time to do screens, sorry. It's only a small download.

[wicked_fable]

Not only in the spalsh screen but also in the "How-To" section you put that it was for the competition. It is obvious that your intention was that this is for the homebrew competition because you wanted people to vote for it.

Also, I simply stated the "10-second deal" because there is no actual counting involve. You just look at the screen and wait for it to hit 1000. If it was called "Stop At 1000" like the original Arcade machine you got this idea from, then it would have made more sense.

The only real reason why I am having so much trouble with this release is probably because of the fact that you inteneded to submit it to the competition. Otherwise, I suppose this would be okay for a first program if it was not intended for the competition. But, even then, my mind is still telling me that this has very little features and that it was not really worth releasing. This is more like something you make just as a stepping stone to something bigger, but not something you would really release.

[SG57]

wicked_fable - I just made my first A* pathfinding demo (as a stepping stone) and haven't released it... well unless this counts as a release...

[JaX3RiR]

Check this out.

It's been out for a year or so, it only counts to 5000 instead of 1000.

But it works on official firmwares and computers too, and there's a high score list.

[Light_AleX]

OK, I actually thought this thing as a time-killing kinda game, so really it isn't big.

As for the name, I don't want to call it the original since...

Anyway, custom numbers may come up in the future.

I'm also stuck with what I could add to this thing...

All of this still depends on if I have time. I have school and that is a burden. Also, I'm making something else in my spare time, that will take a lot of time.

May I recommend that you start with the PSPSDK instead of LUA which will lead to a dead end.

How does Lua lead to a dead end?

Because you can only do what LuaPlayer can do.

Well it just depends on if you ever plan to do something that is beyond its capabilities. Like writing CFW plugins for example. (Although you can probably make a PRX version of LuaPlayer hence allowing you to write plugins in LUA. But if you're gonna rewrite LuaPlayer, you might as well juse use the PSPSDK to write your plugin.)

Yes thats another way to put it.
Besides you'll have to start from scratch when leaning the SDK anyway because its pretty different.

Makes sense but it should last me for a while and Ill probably eventually move to C++

Torch: IF you program correctly (and efficiently) you can do quite a bit. Though There is a so called "Dead end" BUT there is still alot to be done
Hopefully with the new PGE Lua, lua game devs will have alot to work with.And the distance between programming a game and the distance between the "Dead end" WILL become even further
Though writing CFW plugins in lua wouldn't really be good though i've been wrong before.
On topic-I can't say i've tried the game/app whatever but it seems OK i guess for learning( yourself) purposes

[TurtlesPwn]

For games, lua's only dead end is simply not being able to cram as much crap to be done into each loop as C. PGE Lua will greatly extend that anyways.

[Raphael]

Sorry, but though it has been implicated a few times already, it's not yet been said concretely:

PHAIL.


Reasons are:
1) This does nothing
2) It's still advertised as 'game'
3) Your name just screams "FAKE"

[Mraellis]

Ha when i say that Raphael it gets deleted.

With PGE Lua, how much closer to C++ will Lua be?

[Mraellis]

Bah take your time to write something and learn punctuation please xXChromeXx. Its infurating reading nonsense.

Coolj - Haha i never saw yours but in mine i just stated that the dev has no idea that we are saying this sucks and he just responds saying it will improve Lmao.

[PSProgramer]

lol you mean how much closer to C will lua be, cause lua is pretty far away from C++, and they will never make lua exactly like C cause thats just about impossible as lua is a scripting language, and C is not.
