Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
WTF???
Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
What about Zapatero.
Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
Hahaha!
It could also be Tom Sellek with that big a stash

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
This is great fun! And BASIC too, top stuff ivan!
I love the idea of fine tuning the cadence, rather than outright button hammering. The stopping for air during the swim, and pacing yourself to avoid cramp in the 800m are great additions.
Here's a summary of the instructions:
-use 1 and 0 to scroll through the menus.
-you only need to define one key in "CONTROLES", it's the action key for stopping for breath, long-jumping or throwing the javelin.
-ENTRENAR is practice a chosen event, COMPETAR is well, enter the competition.
-The 100 metres: button mash any keys, just not the same key every time. Go slow and steady, and you will see your pace increase.
-Javelin, try to attain a high speed, release as low as possible at a low angle
-Long jump, similar to the javelin
-Swim. Hmm, very hard to master. I haven't got near qualifying in this yet.
-800m. Slow and steady, cyan to purple zone, try to finish with the cramp bar nearly full.
My bests so far:
100 metres: 10.24 (might have been 10.42)
Javlein: 93.2m
Long jump: 8.94m
Swim: 47.60
800m: 126.2
(Oh and why a previous Spanish prime minister? )

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
Thank you so much for appreciating this game.
All the tips for the different events are OK; let me make some clarifications:
-In Javelin and Long jump, the optimal angle is 45º; lower or higher angles achieve shorter distances.
-In swimming, you can hit "breath" at any time, you don´t need to wait the air to be empty, this way you will preserve your speed more easily.
About your qualifications, these are not so bad, but be honest... Are you trying to compete before training enough...? Please, remember that your mission is to be a good personal trainer, so do your job profesionally...
Aznar, as Spain´s Prime Minister, starred some funny moments during his mandate; he usually liked to show off his physical fitness as a sportsman (mainly running). When he finished his stage as Prime Minister, he became a character of the gossip magazines, and one most famous epdisode was when he was photographed at the beach showing spectacular abs... (the loading screen is one of those photos), and this was a trending topic for long time. That is why Spanish people found this character and the plot so funny for this game. (Google "Aznar abdominales" images...) When he was asked about his body shape, he declared that he used to do 2,000 abs pushups per day... so the fun started again...

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
Probably, but I said "so far". The swim and 800m times are from training, because I crash out of the competition due to being rubbish at swimming. Are the gold medal times your own personal bests Ivan?
Fear not - I will not let ex-prime minister Aznar down!Please, remember that your mission is to be a good personal trainer, so do your job profesionally...
Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
No, those are records easy to beat with some practice, so the player can be happy to be on the billboard soon; my marks are something like 9.20 in 100m, 99.20 in javaline, 8.90 in long jump, 28.00 in swimming and 122.0 in 800m, and a total score after 3 rounds of 220000 pts (without plus score for training, just for competing); and this was after hundreds of goes for testing the code; so your first results are quite good!R-Tape wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 7:39 amProbably, but I said "so far".

I am sure you will help Aznar to show off his abs again!!!!
Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
Aznar just managed around 28 seconds in a swim, so I think he's nearly ready to compete (the blood transfusion and Georgian anabolics really helped).
This is very impressive for BASIC. Because I've been concentrating on the power bars, I haven't thought much yet about how you're giving the effect of scrolling etc. It certainly looks good.
Did the slowness of BASIC force you to choose a finely tuned cadence, rather than rapid button mashing? If yes, then the limitations of BASIC have actually benefited the game.

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
The BASIC code can not detect doping, so feel free to use whatever trick you think is useful to make Aznar to bright again...
The scroll technique was learned and tested in a previous game of my own, Brain 8 (which had no repercusion); the magic word for scrolling is LPRINT.
And yes, since each frame lasts 200-300 milisecs, the option is the cadence; I couldn´t find a way to manage fast key detection, having many things to manage in each loop (display, Aznar, bars, scroll, and logical operations); but thanks to PEEK 23560, the cadence can work quite accurely and makes the game playable (this was my main concern, if players would find this solution playable).

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
This user achieved 8.88 seconds in 100m sprint, check how he did it using the phone:
https://twitter.com/javiventisca/status ... wsrc%5Etfw
I tested it in my phone using Spectaculator and I can pass all events and rounds, it is true that it is a bit different than playing with a keyboard, but it is playable as well.

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
I have done 9.14 on my pc keyboard
Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
I guess we will have to implant two categories for world records, keyboard category, and phone category.
You have, to my knowledge, the 100m WR in "keyboard category", 9.14s.
The WR in "phone category" belongs to JQL (javiventisca on tweeter), 8.88s.
Let´s see what goes on.

Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
eheheh, I always peed my pants. Hope it's not going to be analyzed...
Re: Aznar, the Sport Star
Funny game..
Seem to be crap at some events and OK at others. Got a bit better after realising you don't need to pound the keyboard.
At least Sr Aznar seems to be enjoying himself...
