labVIEW games

Hey that was my fist game on a (DIY kid) orange ][ (apple ][) clone  :-))  in the early 80st??

It's still possibible to place the "dot" outside the area.

Mike,

How did you do that?

Without looking at your code, it happened in my code (to 50%) when I hit the boundary in a diagonal ( bad description.... well at 90deg)

I solved it by placing a double point walls....

This reminds me to another nice time killer of these old days: Ever seen a TV without signal? The battle of the white and black ants?

Now define a battlefield x*y and distribute white and black ants randomly

Loop : take one point (ant) and copy it to one of the eight neighbor cells

Watch how the battlefield changes (every n*x*y interations or on demand) . For small x*y one party will wipe out all enemies. But for bigger fields the fight will go one forever???

I remember that some of the random functions I tried weren't really random so I was able to see pattern moving like waves....   

What I tried to speed up the (6502) code 🙂  Now LabVIEW let me burn all CPUs in my desktop... need time to play!

Oops, I added an in-range coercion to the position, but forgot to change the lower limit.  Now it is a bit kludgy, it lets you get outside, then snaps you back into a tree.  Here is the unlocked code, no chance to really improve it yet.  I'd love to see it cleaned up and improved.  The logic behind the course generation was a hack that I tweaked to get the right "feel".  Probably clever tricks could help here.  Enjoy!

here is another working progress I still have to add the speed control when the "ball" is hit but none the less it is fun...

its pong

Hi harold,

Can you post it for lv 8.0?

[Harold_Timmis]

here it is in 8.0

[muks]

Harold,

It is still for 8.6?

[Harold_Timmis]

I know what happened when I saved it as a previous version there was an error because it had to go back a few revisions... so i fixed it and saved it so it went back to being a 8.6 VI

all you have to do to fix it is set a terminal to default

here it is

[muks]

Nice idea. Nicely done. Thanx

[Harold_Timmis]

yeah it was fun, but I also had tons of help from altenbach.

and like I said it still has a couple of things to work on.. I just havn't had much time.
