Thumby / Thumby Smash Version 6 Character Expansion Poll

« on: October 27, 2021, 02:18:06 PM »

Ive been working on Thumby Smash a few weeks now, and am really proud of my progress. Version 6 is in the works. Versions 2-4 were all bug fixes,and Version 5 was configuration options.  Ive sketched out character ideas for 3 new characters. Which character would you like to see added to the game in version 6? I plan to add all of these at some point, but this will help me set my priorities.

• Victus

Close-Range Melee with high damage, high range melee attack with low damage.

• Tempestas

midranged attack, can summon lightning from the top of the map, but with a high cooldown

• Ovum

Low HP, but powerful ranged attack that launches birds

« on: October 24, 2021, 01:45:51 PM »

Thumby smash is a 2d fighting game for the Thumby Console. This a very large update, here is a summary of what it does:

• Configuration Menu with options for:
• Wall Interaction. Choose between Block Movement, Warp, and Damage when out of bounds
• Game Speed
• AI Stupidity
• Disable/Enable AI Button Pressed, Perfect for training modes and other testing purposes
• Added A Countdown Screen for the start of a battle

Bugfixes:

• Zap is Now Transparent
• Fixed Knockback Decreasing with damage rather than increasing

Known Bugs:

• Goggles is supposed to have a new ranged attack, the projectile does not move properly.
• Since the Thumby does not yet have a way to resize text, some config menu option titles go off the screen
• Since the Thumby emulator cannot save other files,  but a physical thumby can, I am unable to make the config menu options save to the device on power off until i get a physical thumby to test it on.
  There is a workaround for this though. [Edit lines 550-560 and line 697 to the desired values to make them permanent
  
  • Some Collisions arent perfect, i plan to fix this in the next update

Thumby / Is the Random Function broken for anyone else?

« on: October 17, 2021, 02:21:41 PM »

So, im trying to pick a random.choice in micropython. For whatever reason, it always picks the same number based on the number i pick. For example if i pick the first option, it will always pick the third. if i pick the second, it will always pick the first. If i pick the third it will always pick the first. Ive checked my code and executed it at least 30 times with the same results. Has anyone else encouneterd this?

Thumby / Flipping Bitmap Images in Thumby IDE

« on: October 13, 2021, 12:28:34 PM »

I've been working with the Thumby IDE for a few days now. I really like it so far. It is very time consuming to draw every sprite then draw it again facing the other direction. Are there any plans of adding a "Flip Vertical"and "Flip Horizontal" Button to the Bitmap editor located at https://tinycircuits.github.io/. If not i think this would be a very useful feature.
Thanks In Advance, Void
