Description: MaDGiC Pentomino<br>----------------<br><br>Author : Moaku / ICQ: 76799582<br>Projet Page : http://psp.madgic.ch<br><br>The project's goal is to do a basic simple game in order to add features / effects<br>/ variants in the future to train with pspsdk and its libraries.<br><br>I've choose the Pentomino. Searching google, I found numbers of variants that I<br>never heard about that don't use digits, so I guessed that this gamebase that I<br>learned to play with when I was 10 was the perfect choice.<br><br>Installation:<br>-------------<br><br>PSP 1.0: Copy folder MaDGiCPentomino-1.0 in /psp/game/ in your memory stick.<br><br>PSP 1.5: Copy folders MaDGiC~1% and MaDGiCPentomino________________1 in<br> /psp/game/ in your memory stick.<br><br>Rules:<br>-------<br><br>Each game mode will have its own rules variants. Please refer to the help screen<br>ingame to know more about these variants.<br>Anyway, basic rules are to be known before playing.<br><br>The goal is simple, We have some shapes, or more precisely Pentominoes (shapes<br>made with 5 adjacents squares), and you have to place these shapes freely<br>(direction, face) on a grid of random digits between 0 and 9 in order to make<br>that the sum of all covered grid cells digits reach the maximum you can.<br><br><br><br>Controls:<br>---------<br><br>Menu:<br> Up/Down (Digital or analog) : Move in the menu<br> Left/Right (Digital or analog) : Change selected value<br> X : Run current menu action<br><br>Game:<br> Directions (Digital ou analog) : Move<br> X : Place Piece<br> [] : Next Piece<br> Triangle : Previous Piece<br> Start : Menu<br> Select : Capture moves of the game in file "snapshot.gsd"<br> (Titlescreen = gfx/titlescreen.gsd :))<br> L : Rotate unclockwise<br> R : Rotate clockwise<br> (8 directions and not 4! (5 to 8 = flipped))<br><br>Current Version: 0.1.0<br>----------------------<br><br>To Do before 1.0.0:<br>- Improve Menu look<br>- Fix crash when exiting game<br>- Add a 2 players mode<br>- Add sounds<br>- Improve game interface's look<br>- Add a function to synchronize hi-scores with other players via WiFi<br>- Add a "Replay" function to resequence the game <br>- Add a mode "Fill" where the goal is to fully fill a numbered grid with free shapes<br> (Additionnal cells will be filled randomly on the grid).<br> The time and de % of approaching the best potential score will be score modifiers<br>- Add the possibility to play with a grid bigger than the screen with a scrolling<br>- Add a "Fake Isometrical 3d" render engine.<br> (It looks like Isometrical 3d (so, 2d) but it's in fact pure real 3d)<br>- Generate the README file dynamically from a database<br><br>To Do before 0.2.0:<br>- Optimize fading effect<br>- Add possibility to cancel piece placements<br>- Add help screens<br>- Determine max size for grid depending on the size of the current skin's bloc<br> to allow skins to contains blocs of any size<br>- Make possible for skins to have a background tile of any size<br><br>Changes:<br>------------<br><br>V 0.1.0 (First public release):<br><br> - Improved the saving & listing profiles system<br> Profiles aren't stocked in a files named profiles/name.prf with all other<br> profiles files anymore.
