The project is another recreation of OneShot in HaxeFlixel, I have no intention to open-source this since I have plans to turn it into a real project and I don't wanna risk being sent an email on accident.
I started this project a bit of a week ago, copying some reusable backend code from Undertale Purple which shares a similar genre to this one as well.
The batch of images/videos I'm showing are progress I made in the last week, so I want to sync up progress where it's at.
The instructions page was done with a sequence system that I made; this system is plenty reusable and flexible for many other cases like a dialogue, message, or even pictures like the one I show below.
// Helper to cast the inherited `public var data:Dynamic` from Sequence.hx
private var seqData(get, never):PictureSequenceData;
private inline function get_seqData():PictureSequenceData
return data;
private var currentIndex:Int = 0;
// Two sprites are utilized to seamlessly cross-fade between images
private var backSprite:NikoSprite;
private var frontSprite:NikoSprite;
private var isTransitioning:Bool = false;
private var slideTimer:Float = 0.0;
private var isAutoAdvance:Bool = false;
public var onSlideTransition(default, null):FlxTypedSignal<Int->Void>;
public var onSlideReady(default, null):FlxTypedSignal<Int->Void>;
public var onWaitInput(default, null):FlxTypedSignal<Int->Void>;
public function new(sequenceData:PictureSequenceData)
{
super("picture_viewer", "Picture Sequence");
this.data = sequenceData;
this.blocksInput = true;
onSlideTransition = new FlxTypedSignal<Int->Void>();
onSlideReady = new FlxTypedSignal<Int->Void>();
onWaitInput = new FlxTypedSignal<Int->Void>();
}
override public function loadScript(path:String):Void
{
super.loadScript(path);
if (script != null)
{
script.bindSignal(onSlideTransition, "onSlideTransition");
script.bindSignal(onSlideReady, "onSlideReady");
script.bindSignal(onWaitInput, "onWaitInput");
}
}
...
Data-oriented design is very fun to play with as well
You can also put a sequence on top of a sequence, similar to states but I've abstracted it this way as a form of preference

I did implement the player sprite, with some inspiration from ECS architecture, but I chose to take the "EC" only, meaning components also act as their own system
ECS is kind of tricky to implement but this way is more simpler and doesn't necessarily generate much excitement when the game is this lightweight

For tilemaps, I used a ton of Aseprite to inspire myself to learn how they de-duplicate tiles

Do you have a dialogue system?
devout badge
Do you have a dialogue system?
Not exactly, it is just this if you're wondering
package niko.states.screens;
class DialogueScreen extends MainState
{}
Haven't even gone to implement a parser for it
I've always thought it was something that would be "Tier 2-ish" level of priority to tackle
Coming back to the topic, as of today, I have both tilesets, tilemaps, decals, and entities working all in one place, so we have a minimally playable game

I've been doing this for a fnf mod I want to make based on OneShot. This is part of my Pancakes Engine (it's just Psych Engine xd)

there is a funny secret about this oneshot engine i've showcased

It even has that mechanism for obtaining the player's name, and it's multi-platform (it should even work on Switch)

Honestly, it's too random for me to find a recreation of the game in HaxeFlixel https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1263570074313293865.png?quality=lossless&name=nikocrumbs&size=96
nimble wadi
Honestly, good luck with that.
Especially with the idea of the overworld and all that... It caught my attention a little for my mod, but I don't mind because I can't get people for that project, haha.
But this will definitely be a project that I'll be interested in
devout badge
i think the next step is some editor
it's like a self-punish for me, i create a new proprietary format for myself but i am also responsible for making the tools to make said format
here is the directory list if you're curious
i may have had a missed opportunity to name the head directory "twm" instead of "niko"
nimble wadi
As for me, I'd like to share with you the implementation I have for obtaining the username... After all, I think it's the first special mechanic we see in the game, heh

i'll probably have something in mind later
since i'm basing this version slightly off of WME
devout badge
Slight deviation since I needed this
I've had to rework the options screen a little to be more modular in particular

might take a while
i'm really fighting flixel itself to get a ui cxamera rendering
over writing the actual logic

devout badge
me when texts
yeah that was the problem but was more of a me issue
some poor code was causing some comparison checks regarding the text to fail and was setting the text every frame
had to redo the UI since flexbox is a bit tricky
marsh belfry
damn
devout badge
Goodness!
devout badge
Big!
features undo/redo, more tools, and more modes
i still have issues with UI layouts which is absolute pain
nimble wadi
Hmm...
I have a question: how do you go about using the original game’s assets in HaxeFlixel?
I wanted to recreate, even if it’s just an image, the exterior of the house where Niko appears , but I have no idea how to do it; I’m not actually looking for something functional that you can walk around in, just having a background would be enough for me.
But the truth is, I don’t understand RPG Maker XP’s assets xd..
I don't know how to use it in Tiled either, though the thought of having to recreate that is definitely a pain for me lol

for tiles, i used a similar approach to how aseprite "intelligently" creates tiles, as long as you define a tile size
for other things, i believe the idea is to "eyeball" it and guesstimate how things work to adapt for HaxeFlixel
the assets are free to dissect and take anyway
nimble wadi
Hmm...
I think I get it.
Because, well, the room where Niko appears... I was able to use it right away because the final version (after setting the sun, for example) is already there as a complete image, and that was enough for me, but I have no idea about the rest xD

everything either requires a tileset or it's one decal
though in that case, you'd still have to set the collisions and nodes (triggers or interaction boxes)

That was easy for me in Tiled, and porting it to Flixel was actually kind of fun xd

Entities
devout badge
Hard working
All the modes have been implemented afaik
tiles, decals, collisions, nodes, and entities
layer ui still works despite changing tons of things, so that's fun
i still need to fix some ui issues still
devout badge
sometimes i feel like i might be going too far
devout badge
The editor is almost feature-complete, you can save/load rooms, edit the room data, and manage them well.
Job's not done though, I still have to implement some UX for the layers tab, since not being able to toggle visibility for layers can be a pain - ideally it should be inspired by how art programs do layers
Gotta think about the background too
I've started the editor way back in the beginning of this month, so I should feel proud of myself
I will say I think this was very fast, because this is 12K lines of code
devout badge
AHAHAHA nope
even though I am pretty close, turns out I need to make changeable tileset sizes
16x16, 8x8, 20x20 (UTDR)
devout badge
UI is scuffed but
sub-grid tilesets implemented, though it can get weird that the real tile sheets have to be placed in a 2x2 grid, must be my system though
devout badge
Implemented those delete buttons late
devout badge
Might need some work
devout badge
New drip!
There is this issue obviously, but not sure if I like my priorities doing that
devout badge
You can rotate

Absolute cinema

Success
devout badge
Not that easy I'm afraid
I guess I haven't been writing the overworld state to be 1:1 with the editor as much
devout badge
wrong color but
got simple color blocks working
collisions are done
well, only the level part of it, i haven't gotten around to making entities collide with them
devout badge
I think I'm satisfied here, everything mostly works
I can finally put my attention on systems I haven't been touched or started yet, like dialogue, transitions, or menus.
devout badge
small tools
nimble wadi
Woww.. Okay, that's definitely way more powerful than what I have https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1058148995794481232.gif?quality=lossless&name=anikopancakes&size=96
devout badge
i won't be publishing it to the marketplace or the dialogue parser just yet, there are still some changes i want to make
for example, i would like it if the the formatting is very strict so it requires you to make sure you're not leaving anything behind
like speed= being the wrong type
if you're still interested, you can use vsce package so that it generates a .vsix file and have VS Code install it from there
devout badge
had a bit of an interesting day so i slowed down, but i got something here

implemented own bitmap text so that per-character effects are possible
can't seem to get the right size though...
well this one's bad
alright well, BMFont might be a no-go
i think a better option might be to create an in-house bitmap font converter
rendering that font in openfl/flixel, and then putting those results into a bitmap font
well, i found the right config with BMFont
devout badge
per-character effects work greatly
we are getting funny memory cliffs
i'll have to investigate that later, not sure if i'm in the mood for addressing performance issues today

Yes, but as I said, I preferred something more reliable and stable, and what could be better than a native system function that provides exactly that?
