Share My Creation Paratroopers (in progress)

hi

i am working on a copy of the great game from the 80's Paratroopers.
i am not using any game engine and still get a great performance!! (i have to add few stuff like collision but i believe i will still stay under 25 frames per second) at this moment the whole rendering part takes less then 1 ms (in debug mode!!)



EDIT: new look available on post #17 https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/paratroopers-in-progress.76658/#post-486973

now i have an idea. click on the screen to let the soldier fall and they need to fall on each other to create a human ladder and reach the top. you will have a limited number of soldiers to make it more challenging. nice idea for a mini game.

Nice game! Didn't Erel post a game view example for iOS some time ago?

yes he did but i have never used gameview. i will need to try it out. if it has a rendering event like libgdx and you can draw everything on the screen then it may work but i tried drawing on canvas in b4i and it is very terrible so i dont know how erel solved it.

When I saw the two stacked paratroopers, I thought to circus; have you seen the latest game released by @BeneBarros , Rings? I imagine to swing an acrobat and launch it into space, toward each other.

In the background I would put a clown with the Trump face, of course (this is maybe my first post without a smiling emoticon; why?)

Try it: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/igameview-library-for-games.70747/#content

The performance is quite good. You can show several hundred sprites.

i have looked at the asteroid example and what i understand is you create for each sprite an imageview with a canvas and you draw on this canvas the bitmap.

can i just add a big imageview to the page and draw on it everything? will i get the same performance?

thanx

Bad question, Ilan, sorry: try it

i have but i am not getting good results (30ms where on b4j i was getting 1ms) so i thought maybe i understand the gameview handling wrong.

@ilan, awesome remake!! I've played the hell of this game back in the day! Thank you for bringing the memories back!!!

No. It will be slower. It is faster to keep each graphic element as a separate bitmap.
