bfg.gamepassion Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi. I've decided to start this thread to present you a try to adapt the arcade game PANG to Colecovision. For the moment the major difficulty is to stabilize the speed of the game, too fast when there's not a lot collision detection to do (event with "VBL" synchronisation), or slowdowns where there's lot of collision. So, my first aim is is to succeed in slowdown the game, or speedup the game, and have a constant game speed. Then add what it lacks Here is a video of the prototype in action. http://youtu.be/i-a_T5KJpvY I'd like to thank Crapahute for making sprites faster than lightning just before goind to holliday, and Youki for making me spontanioulsy (may be this word is frenglish ) a mock of the first screen graphics show in this video. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 That looks abslutely awesome! The balls are a little hard to see over the colorful background though, especially the smallest ones. Perhaps you could make the smallest ones black instead of magenta...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg.gamepassion Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I plan to change the ball color for each background in order to better see them. Black for the smallest is a good idea indeed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfg.gamepassion Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Work of the day : New Backdrop from Youki, and i've added Vertical platform and done lot of optimization. There's lot of less speed variation. http://youtu.be/ze585qEKiS8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Man, that looks so good! How many levels will there be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg.gamepassion Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Man, that looks so good! How many levels will there be? For the moment, i'll try to insert the minimum requierement to do a maximum of level. That include : Vertical platform, Horizontal platform, H&V Breakable platform, ladders. The game will have limitation so i'll must cheat in designing level My GP32/PC/dreamcast version of this game contains 28 levels. Let count a maximum of 80 bytes for a level, 30 levels took 2400 octets. For the moment the game took : 19705 bytes. Count 3 kbytes more for adding bonus, and ladder collision, some more pattern animation for the player ... Find someone to make the music :) I think 30 levels with 3 or 4 backdrop is possible. I hope ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
