KaboomPSP 0.1

[Dark Killer]

my first psp game and also the first thing I've ever coded in LUA. KaboomPSP is a clone of the Atari 2600 game Kaboom.

Hi nice release, ive took the liberty of uploading your release and mirroring it here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=9284

If your looking for a place to upload my forums can take up to 8 meg in zip file uploading. At least then you want have to use those horid free webservers. heres the link to the forum where we host projects --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=84

Also included a v1.0 eboot and added it to your zipfile.

i'm having a little problem that for the life of me I cant figure out the cause of: after 25 execution loops luaplayer returns an error at line 26 due to a stack overflow. here's the code, hopefully someone could show me what's causing this and how to resolve it.

Code: Select all

-- load images
background = Image.load("bg.png")
title = Image.load("title.png")
bar = Image.load("bar.png")
bomb = Image.load("bomb.png")

function movebomb()
	by=by+2
end

function newbomb()
	--bomb:clear(green)
	--bomb = Image.load("bomb.png")
	--math.randomseed(os.time())
	by = 25
	math.randomseed(os.time())	
	bx = math.random(220)
end

function Control()
	--screen.waitVblankStart()
	pad = Controls.read()
	if pad:left() then
		x = x - 9
	elseif pad:right() then
		x = x + 9
	elseif x<1 then
		x=1
	elseif pad&#58;circle&#40;&#41; then
		screen&#58;save&#40;"screenshot.tga"&#41;
	end
	main&#40;&#41;
end

function main&#40;&#41;

	screen&#58;print&#40;280, 5, "Score&#58; " .. pnts, green&#41;
	screen&#58;blit&#40;bx, by, bomb&#41;
	screen&#58;blit&#40;x, 237, bar&#41;
	
	if bx + 50 >= x and bx + 50 <= x + 94 then
		if by + 50 >= 237 and by + 50 <= 256 then
			pnts = pnts + 100
			newbomb&#40;&#41;
		end	
	elseif by > 250 then
		if pnts >= 100 then
			pnts = pnts - 100
		end
			newbomb&#40;&#41;

	movebomb&#40;&#41;

It probably won't help, but you don't need math.randomseed(os.time()) every loop, just once per program run is enough.

thanks for the tip alex but, like I expected, it didnt solve my problem. I sure hope someone can help me because I've tried everything and I'd really hate to have to abandon development on this game.

Update: I finally got the stack overflow bug fixed so everyone can expect an update laster tonight :)

I suspect your problem was that main() calls control() and control in turn calls main? :)

exactly.

anyway, here's 0.2 with some fixes and gameplay improvements:
