Rick Dangerous !

[chrilith]

Hi,

I'm working on a palm version of Rick Dangerous.
The game is now fully playable but need some speed improvements,

Stay tuned !!

[orol]

great !! looking forward !!

[jledesma]

can we get a beta preview or something like that?

[captain_cow]

cool, i've neither seen nor played that game for a loooong time:p
ey chrilith, have you ever played nuclear war?

[newbie1111]

Wow, Rick Dangerous for palmos. Very cool!
Where can i download the beta? :)

Can you write or convert warlords 2 for palm too. ;)

[DBZ-GOKU-]

I would also like to test if you need help. Also, do you have any screenshots of this game? From everyone's enthusiasm it seems great, but I want to see what it looks like too.

[JanetCampbell]

I liked Rick Dangerous on my Amiga. That game was so hard, I got to about screen 3 or something. It'd be cool to play it again.

[gazzab]

This was a great game, when I younger anyhow. I love to see some screens. If you are looking for beta testers, please feel free to drop me a line...

[DBZ-GOKU-]

Do you have a website with any more info on the game your making either?

[Cyker]

chrilith - you are a sick sick man. Go for it!!!!! :D

[nickster87]

*Drool*;) Could we have a screenshot??:)

[chrilith]

yes, wait a first alpha version is coming to pdarcade next week

[chrilith]

After many month, i finally decide to release a first (preview) version of rick dangerous for palmos. You can download it here :

Sony : http://capers.free.fr/rick.zip
PalmOne : http://capers.free.fr/palm_rick.zip

This version may not work on some devices (mainly landscape or Garmin 3600) but those problems will be fixed soon.

A greyscale and lo-res version will come too !

[nickster87]

I can't play it. There is just the splash screen and the hall of fame. Is that all there is supposed to be??

[chrilith]

you can play. try the hard buttons

[Cwiiis]

That is bloody impressive, well done! Runs at a great speed on my T675 - Will the full version be free? And will the full version have saving/loading or resuming?

[Tixx]

Very cool.:D Could go blind playing it, but cool:)

[nickster87]

Runs great!! Nice Job!!:)

[DoctorDED]

ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!!!! GREAT WORK :-)

[+ANTI+]

I try all the hard button but nth happened(UX50).
Looks cool though =)

[+ANTI+]

it's me again
hehe:D
I hold the scroll down and it bring me to the staterapp but still nth!:(

don't think it works on UX yet, but i'll change that very soon ;)

[Cwiiis]

I just want to reiterate how impressive that is, especially considering it's free :) Are you using the MQ chip at all? And will this be open-source? Keep up the good work :)

[chrilith]

no MQ just standard palm function (and a bit of direct access, but just a bit) about source perhaps after the final version

[mh7]

Great work... everything works ok :]

RESPECT

[BMEngineer]

Works okay on my NX80....but i got one ques. How do you attack the enermy?

[Cyker]

OH MY GOD!!

This is so awesome!! :D

But jeez it's hard to control on a T665! Damn those T-series hard buttons!!!!!!

Anyhoo, for those that asked, I'm assuming you figured out the basics like left, right, jump and duck.

If you hold down the fire button (Memo) and press up, you fire a bullet.

Fire + Down drops some dynamite (As soon as you do this run like buggery! ;))

Fire + Left and Fire + Right makes Rick poke stuff with his stick. This has the effect of stunning bad guys for, like, a nano second, but is maily used for activating (hidden?) switches.

HTH ;)

Dang I wish I had one of those Sony controllers for this...!

[chrilith]

yes sony controller works great with rick dangerous, i jsut uploaded a new version that support 5way navigator an dfix problem with UX50

[nickster87]

Will this game be Hi-Res+ any time soon?

[DoctorDED]

Great so far on the 5-Way!!

ROFL! Always people asking for HiRes+ out of reflex, even if it's pointless :P

Seriously, unless you have a Sony gamepad, I can't imagine being able to play this game scaled to HiRes+, because the only way it'd benefit would be in landscape, which would mean you'd be holding the Clie sideways!!

Pointless.......Why So??????????

It's simply expanding the screen?? It would still be just fine. You don't use the VG area so Hi-Res+ would just mean for area available.

dbH passed


^_^ i love error messages...^_^
oO i can't even press the reset button....have to do it manualy ^_^;

[chrilith]

seems that you didn't the gfx file

[Spikesdacoolest]

I installed everything and got a "quick fix" error message after hotsyncing things over that just needed a reset and that was that...no big deal....this is a really cool game and it's so simple and yet tough that I can't get past the first level.

[nickster87]

Is there any way for Rick to look down. I've been jumping down blindly and I don't really care for it. Or is it supposed to be that way for the element of surprise??

What about that Hi-Res+??:)

I think it's supposed to be that way for the element of surprise. Also I don't minde it at this size...I don't know why I just do.

[Cwiiis]

I think it's pretty much perfect :) Was playing it in the supermarket queue today (huge queue, students coming back for uni) - Only thing I want is for the state of the game to be saved on exit (for high-scores and game resuming)

[chrilith]

new version with hi-scores saving is here

I understand the HiRes+ issue, but why not 320x320? It is much smaller than that on my nx70 screen with black borders all around it.

[nickster87]

One thing I found that is maybe an error:

I just downloaded the new version off of the site, and a new game starts you with 10,000 points instead of zero. Is that supposed to be??

Good job on the pause feature. Very nice. I like how you have switched the controls also.:)

Tixx,

I would even go 320x320. The playing area is quite small. It's usable but still small. It doesn't have to be 320x480. I would like 320x320.

Anyways, GREAT JOB!!!!!:):D;)

Keep up the good work!!:)

[chrilith]

Oopps, sorry ... just uploaded a fixed one.

This one need a full reinstall

[nickster87]

Thanks!!:D

[chrilith]

new version

[Cwiiis]

Well done on the high-score saving in the latest version chrilith! :D Not much more you could do now really :) (unless you plan on making it even more amazing than it already is and adding sound or something like that...)

[Spikesdacoolest]

How many levels(even though I can't get past the first one)? also this is really good...it's one of the best games I've played on my Clie...you're the COOLEST!

[nickster87]

Nice job on the new version very nice!!!:)

[1145climber]

Great game! only problem is that enemies are "bigger" than they appear. im on a ledge above and enemy, and when it comes near me i die, even though it never touches me. Another example is when an enemy is walking at me and i die like a second before we actually touch. another problem is firing is a little complicated. would be cool if fire was memo button alone, and to get the other weapons, press todo and make pause a screen tap. other wise good job.

[Cwiiis]

This would be different to how every other Rick Dangerous version works though... Once you get into it a bit more, you'll find yourself using the gun less :)

[Spikesdacoolest]

it's kinda hard with the GameCon though....even though IT'S THE COOLEST

[Cwiiis]

Any reason this isn't on the ScummVM site yet? Been playing it for ages, almost done the 1st level now :) hehe (once you figure out all the tricks, it's pretty easy to go from one end to the next without losing a life)

[Tixx]

Has it become 320x320 yet? Or is that not in the works? Just curious. Pretty cool game when I tried it last:)

[Cwiiis]

Given that it's based off of an Atari ST game that runs at the resolution you currently see the game at, I doubt they'll be a 320x320 version... I'll be happy if I'm wrong though :)

[chrilith]

Yes, i'll make a little page on my site :)

don't think i'll make it fit on a 320x320 (or higher) screen

[Tixx]

Ok, thanks for the answers:)

[GAMsALeh]

It's not working on my UX50. I'm trying the hardbuttons but nothing happens it just changes from the splash screen to the hall of fame screen. :(

[chrilith]

ok i'll try to find what button i can use on UX50, i'll try to make this for tomorrow

[Unregistered]

I downloaded Rick last night, played for about an hour and have to say that I deleted it. The control, even with my GC-10, seems really difficult and unforgiving. Just trying to do the very first challenge of jumping into that niche to avoid the rock I was never able to accomplish but one time. Was Rick that hard to play on other platforms? Maybe on the palm there should be some allowance made for the issue of just being on the Palm? Is it just me here or is Palm Rick as overly-difficult as I found it to be?

[Cwiiis]

that's not the easiest way of avoiding the boulder, and the palm conversion is a direct coversion of the Atari ST version from face-appearence, they both play exactly the same. The idea is that you run away from the boulder, much like at the start of that Indiana Jones film - after you fall down a couple of times, there's a path that the boulder doesn't follow

Palm rick isn't really any harder than any of the other versions... (if you want a PC version, google xrick) And I can't believe you spent an hour just try to jump over that boulder :p hehe

[Donnie Darko]

The game ist great, but could you add a user-definable key mapping? On a T675 it is very hard to play with those ugly designed buttons.

Thaaaanks in advance.

[lostether]

Any luck on the UX controls? I would love to play this game, about the only thing I can do is switch it to greyscale with the spacebar, heh. TIA!

[chrilith]

about UX can you download the key util :
http://capers.free.fr/ScummVM/download/keyboard.prc

and give me the value for up/down/left/right keys
and tell my if keypress is detected for CTRL key

thanks

[lostether]

On first keypress I get

shiftKeyMask 0
capsLockMask 0
numLockMask 0
commandKeyMask 1
optionKeyMask 0
controllKeyMask 0
virtualKeyMask 1

Key Char 0x1721

This changes to 0x1720 when up/down/left/right and CTRL are each pressed, and stay there until released.

If left running for a short period of time without a keypress the Keyboard Tester will display 0x0114 and flashed briefly when a key is pressed but the value does not seem to change.

Hopefully this helps

[+ANTI+]

Still no UX virson yet!?:confused:

[chrilith]

well i'll try to do this for the next week

[+ANTI+]

Have u play Bucky and karate be4!?
they works just great on UX!

Thx 4 ur effort:)

[chrilith]

well... i know there is still no support for UX, +ANTI+ what keys are used to play those games ?

I'm adding sound support and need someone that can convert WAV tune into MIDI file, let me know if you can help me

hope to give you a sound version next WE

[+ANTI+]

thx dude, that's awesome.
I use up & down arrow, back button, and the three hard keys to play that kind of game.
pretty much all the button that can be use on the ux

[chrilith]

New version avaliable with sound and few fixes, but no UX support yet (forgot it, sorry)
