Nidhogg for the Arduboy

Games Demos
#1

Hi, I want to show a little techdemo I made a couple of months ago. It’s a “port” of the game Nidhogg. I’ve done it with very small programming knowledge. The sprites where converted one by one (because I didn’t know how to access the game files :sweat_smile:). It has no AI, hitboxes or enemies. It just shows a controllable character that can walk, crouch and idle. I also tried to experiment with the sword placement, so if you press B, a small sword shows up. Maybe someone could make something real out of it.

I suggest you add a LICENSE file to your repository, so people can know what they are allowed to do with your code.

I’ve edited the .hex into the post so the emulator runs it and allowed the GitHub link to become a ‘onebox’ so it’s more obvious.

As your program evolves, you’ll have to manually replace the .hex yourself.

(Also for some reason you were using graves instead of apostrophes, so I swapped those out.)

Ok thanks. Is it normal that the emulator runs twice the speed as the regular handheld? Its much slower on my hardware

That might be because you’re calling arduboy.diplay() on every loop() iteration.

Instead of doing

void loop() {
  if (arduboy.nextFrame()) {
    // Loads of code
  }
  
  arduboy.display();
}

You probably need to do:

void loop() {
  if (arduboy.nextFrame()) {
    // Loads of code
  
    arduboy.display();
  }
}

But doing:

void loop()
{
  if (!arduboy.nextFrame())
    return;

  // Loads of code
  
  arduboy.display();
}

Would probably be better.
