This was first time I coded for the PSP -- with this project; back in 2006. I didnot know any C except for printf and scanf's; but I finally managed to come up with this

Everyone should ATLEAST attempt to code for the PSP, even if you know just the basics of programming; hopefully this will be a good encouragement

This is a simple yet addictive side scroller with gorgeous Backgrounds and a pseudo 3d plane.

No...

But this was based on a tv documentary on UFO's

Oh okay, I was just wondering why it was called "Canadian" Roswell

**Mr305** · 12-16-2008, 11:05 AM

Nobody liked my Game Programming Skills / the concept ?

eldiablov · 12-16-2008, 12:47 PM

Well whats original about it? It hardly competes with the likes of asterz (spelling might be wrong

)

**Vonsta** · 12-16-2008, 01:04 PM

doesnt look too bad for a "first time" application... it was mentioned in the first post that he (Mr305) created this back in 2006.. so perhaps its actually "Asterz" that isnt an original.. just a thought.. mind you i agree that Asterz is a great game.

**Davee** · 12-16-2008, 02:43 PM

Nice work. Stop misusing the semi-colon though, it makes it hard to read xD

**Mr305** · 12-16-2008, 07:22 PM

I wonder why QJ bloggers ignored this?

**_dysfunctional** · 12-16-2008, 07:49 PM

Maybe they don't like you because they think you are a smug *******?

i dunno but i like it

**Anti-QuickJay** · 12-17-2008, 06:28 AM

It seems like every other game, move and shoot.
There are better ones out there so maybe QJ doesn't want it on their front page?

Pseudo 3D? Errm, im sorry but No. This is what Pseudo 3D would be http://www.videogamesblogger.com/wp-...white-land.jpg

eldiablov · 12-18-2008, 08:52 AM

I believe something like that involves raycasting. amirite?

**Vonsta** · 12-18-2008, 09:24 AM

the definition of pseudo is "not genuine" or "appearing like.." and that image of F-Zero is a 3D image (track.. vehicle.. etc moves as though its 3D) whereas this game's backdrop is 2D and the gameplay is 2D, but the vehicle has tinting and shadows even though its 2D, it APPEARS to be 3D.. hence why it IS actually pseudo 3D (or "pretending" to be 3D) due to the shadows and tinting.. otherwise it would be more like... "pixel art" or a bitmap wouldnt it, with no visible "depth"

eldiablov · 12-18-2008, 09:30 AM

Its not pseudo 3d. Period.

Just to clarify for you because I'm not sure whether you picked up on this or not, but it's not like he's casting any sort of lighting or shadows. He's using an image that has 5 or so frames of a picture of the ship that is tilting either left or right. He then displays the frame accordingly.

By definition, this could be considered pseudo-3d, though it's not like this is really a feature that should be mentioned or dwelled upon considering it's barely used.

**Vonsta** · 12-21-2008, 03:25 AM

it LOOKS 3D.. but its not 3D = "appears 3d" --> pseudo 3D

i know its not worth dwelling on but i was merely answering the post by a_noob.. other members decided to put their "claims" forward.. so direct your attention to them also. and i know its not "a feature" but Mr305 was merely describing the game itself, and not advertising the pseudo3D ship a feature. it was a description of its "appearance"... and oh my goodness.. it appears 3D.. so amazingly that means it IS pseudo3D

eldiablov · 12-21-2008, 04:22 AM

From the screenshot it DOES NOT look 3d. Its all done on a 2d plane, doesnt use any raycasting engine or anything of the sort. Its not pseudo 3d. Its just a little animation that "looks 3d" that doesnt mean the game is pseudo 3d.

**Vonsta** · 12-21-2008, 06:47 PM

my god you pretty much just quoted the first line in my post..

look up the definition of "pseudo"...

and now i will quote you ---> a little animation that "looks 3d"

thankyou for denying AND confirming in the same post

and if you read Mr305's description... QUOTE: "a pseudo 3d plane".. not GAME

i think someone needs to pay a little more attention

eldiablov · 12-22-2008, 03:22 AM

By plane I thought he meant the actual plane that the game is drawn on, not the plane image :P

got my wires crossed
