Chips remake.
Thanks to the brilliant work of sandruzzo, a little project of updating this cool, little logic game is well under way
[ Show youtube player ] Here's a short video of an early version. Pretty much all game logic is implemented and most of the bugs you can see have been removed in the current version. We should have a playable demo ready next week when I finish the remaining graphics this weekend. If you've got any suggestions or ideas please do share. |

Is there any explanation about what one has to do in that type of game? "Chip's Challenge" get a very decent score just above 8 on lemonamiga...

Collide all chips of the same color into each other. Last chip left turns into a board tile. Since there are 4 colors of tiles you should end up with 4 boards and collide them together to form the computer tile. Set up next moves and don't let a moving tile hit you.

Almost ready for a demo release!
Just a small game logic bug (at 01:07) but you can see how to finish a level. [ Show youtube player ] Should post links to the ADF later this week Last edited by ppill; 31 July 2019 at 16:46. |

Also I need to think of a proper tutorial since most find the game difficult at first. |

Hey, nice to see my old game remade.
Will it feature music? I used AHX replayer back then, which fitted nicely - chip music in Chips game. The only feature I am sorry that I didn't implement back then, is that the game is most of the times unsolvable. You get solvable puzzles only by luck. I didn't spent the time to make checks if the puzzle is impossible to solve and render a new one, until a possible combination is generated. |

Glad you like it!
Yes, it will have music. Not sure about the style. I loved the chip tunes in the original. Yeah, the random level were a bit frustrating. After a while it was easy to spot which were unsolvable. Our version uses level maps like this (simple text file): Code:
0,0,0,0,4,3,3,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1 2,0,0,0,4,3,3,0,0,0,0,0,2 2,0,0,0,4,3,3,0,0,0,0,0,2 - solvable - players can share their own and challenge others - tutorial levels and so on... We plan on having a random map generator but it's quite a difficult task. Not even sure how to go about doing it. It's quite a topological, math puzzle. If you have any ideas or a binary blob we could include that would great! |

Just a quick update...
Due to some rather uninspiring artistic choices on my part we decided to redo the menu screens. So we went from this: to this: This means the demo got delayed but hopefully should be available soon. Also which of the colors works best for the highlight of the menu font? |

In interest of keeping Sandruzzo busy (hehe) , I hear that this project is nearly finished. Can the team members involved post what else needs to be done for the game to be completed, then collectively we can hopefully find people to "CHIP" in and help out

I can send all. What we need is to carfelly design levels, since If I try to randome generate them, could happen that some of them won't be possible to finish

Quick update. The game is nearly completed. Just a couple of minor bug fixes, more levels and we should be ready for a release
New videos: [ Show youtube player ] Better resolution but got recorded at an increased speed for some reason (0.75 playback should give a good idea of the real speed). Also messed up and thought I couldn't finish the level hence the pause [ Show youtube player ] |
