I made today a little Monkey X Pro demonstration: Rolling and rotating scrolltext (Old School VIII). Now it works perfectly. Like in Old School VII, the letters fade in and out at the bottom of the circle of letters. I have used my Font 2 PNG program to grab individual characters of a ttf-font toContinue reading “Rolling and Rotating scrolltext (Old School VIII)”

Scrolling of Picture Larger Than Visible Area in Monkey2

Bouncing of the ball when it touches the Bat (80s Krakout style)
It’s night when I’m writing this. I came up with a little Monkey X tutorial on how to program the bouncing of the ball, when it touches the bat in the “old school way” — like in the popular C64 game Krakout in the 80s. In the video for the tutorial you can see, that asContinue reading “Bouncing of the ball when it touches the Bat (80s Krakout style)”

Unique Random Integers
For example in my Memorable Ladies games it is the case that I needed a method that gives a random integer for example between 0…31 so that any integer that has once been drawn, doesn’t get drawn anymore. One way to handle this (how I didn’t do it) could be for example to use Rand-functionContinue reading “Unique Random Integers”

Missile Attack in Monkey X
Again, some nostalgia. In older blog post I presented a shortened version of my old implementation of Amiga’s “Missile Attack”. This night I made the game in Monkey X and the source can be directly compiled to Android target. The game is quite simple one: Just shoot the missiles before they get to the bottom ofContinue reading “Missile Attack in Monkey X”
