Lots of work ahead...

Heh, for my next game I have to convert all these Easter Bonus functions from Blitz Plus into BlitzMax Types and Functions, might take a while then...

Actually some are done already due to my BlitzMax Game Framework, but tons aren't :-( Also there are a lot of functions in Easter Bonus libraries that aren't listed here (some are converted already).

Anyway, I thought some people might be interested to see how many functions were required to make Easter Bonus (remember the libraries I made are missing). The source code file is 251k ! Yup that's a lot of typing.

best of luck!

GetLevelNameX%()

Whatsat do? :P

> Lots of work ahead...

And by the initial response, lots of forum typing :)

> Function DovesOn()
> Function DovesOff()

Why not ToggleDoves() ?

Also you can return both X and Y instead of having a function for each parameter. For example if you were returning a vector with direction would you want to have 6 functions? :)

I want to create some DIRTYRECTS!

Man, thank goodness for OOP!

*choke*

returns the calculated X coordinate (on-screen) of the start of the level name which is printed for the player to read.

Not in Blitz Plus (no VAR keyword) without making a TPoint type and returning that which really wasn't needed in many cases. Certainly for a vector I'd return a type, no worries :-)

Could've made a ToggleDoves except it seemed cleared (and safer) in the code structure to call DovesOn at the top and DovesOff at the bottom :-p

Indiepath: Yeah most of those functions would be Type Methods, it was a real backwards step having no OOP for me.

yeah... OOP will save you a lot of work here...

good luck... and happy typing :)

hmm wish I was as cvlver as yu
