Re: What a year it's been

Nice work on the graphics. It's probably more time consuming than the code for me, so nice to get it done.

Not too familiar with the 800, but looking forward to seeing how well you can make this work :)

Sound player with synced VU meters

https://youtu.be/Kgt6E8PrLUk Yeah it's that tune, in my defence I'd completely forgotten about the annoying frog, and was thinking of the very classy recording that was used the film. Anyways.. just wanted to get to grips with playing sounds and in particular music. I generated that with Arkos Trac...

Re: I made a simple Tower demo!

That looks fantastic!... You said you're looking to optimize it more... are you planning to turn it into a game? I remember there was a cpc game with a tower effect... but I can't remember the name! I guess you're thinking about Nebulus? https://youtu.be/aI2UHTT18bs?t=55 Everyone said this, but I'd...

Re: I made a simple Tower demo!

I can't thank you enough for explaining all of this in a way that I understood.

I've only done the beginner series, I still need to look at the pixel plotting, screen mirroring, border rupture and full screen mode tutorials. I'll be well on my way to demoscene god once I've absorbed those :)

I made a simple Tower demo!

https://youtu.be/9Qd0ZVBiQME Still a long way to go, but imagine it with the each row running at a slightly different speed, and the xPos of each row undulating :) It's using a heatmap(?) of sorts to draw the colours.. a single row of pixels is defined in memory, with the first three bits of each p...

Re: Finally learning ASM

Well it's coming along, and I'm buzzing from finally cracking ASM. I'm starting to see how unmanageable the sprite data and meta data starts to get, so really need to delve into the latest Suckhunt video and soak up how that does it. I want to be able to show a complex series of frames, for a differ...

Re: Why don't my simple palette changes stick?

Yeah I noticed it's fine after a di, which is what led me to dive into it, as I want them on to listen for the rastor interrupt.

I'm intrigued by what exactly the system is doing here, and if I can change it or abuse it some way lol.

Re: Why don't my simple palette changes stick?

Been reading a lot, seems like it's linked the ability to make colours flash and a system interrupt is constantly switching the ink values back and forth. http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/screen-scrolling-and-ink-commands/ https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/bios-call-scr_set_ink-and-int...
