TheMajorHavoc Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hey all, I think I have enough to release demo of the Xybots remake (demake?) I am creating because I had to use drawscreen at certain times, this runs at 30fps. controls are: Hold firebutton & left-right to rotate firebutton & down to fire. walk up to progress through the level. enemy is just a missile object placeholder 'till I work in the enemy sprites ROM is attached. I hope it appeals to someone out there! Xybots_2600_preliminary_031916.bin Edited March 20, 2016 by TheMajorHavoc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMajorHavoc Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Updated demo! Warrior xybots added. They spawn and respawn from the same location in this demo. Enemies have blinking map locations No sound yet. Still alot of work to do! Xybots_preliminary_040416.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Cool. I had not seen this either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 IDK if it's my Stella Version, but the maze is very flickery. The top map looks great, and the enemy movement stuff looks good, just the flickery maze makes me a bit queasy. Though if it doesn't look like that on your it may be my Stella version, but I thought I had the latest. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMajorHavoc Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks for the feedback! Yes, The flickering wasn't too bad until I had to use some screen draws to eliminate rolling introduced when I started bankswitching. I'm going to try a couple things to mask it some. It seems to be less distracting on my Harmony encore cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMajorHavoc Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Tightened some code and seemed to have gotten a 75% (?) speed increase. rom is attachedXybots_preliminary_1_040516.bin EDIT: the screen rolls on a real vcs Edited April 5, 2016 by TheMajorHavoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackAttack Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 That's better, but you still have a lot of flickering. Also, it looks like you have an inconsistent frame rate. You'll need to make all the frames have the same number of scanlines in order to avoid problems on real hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YANDMAN Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 wow this is really cool, never ceases to amaze me what people are trying and bringing to the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This keeps looking better and better. The control scheme and synced map and 3d view are really well done! Really cool to play some Xybots action on the VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMajorHavoc Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well........ I have been working on a new Batari Basic "engine" for 3d that is "flicker free" Here's some stella video with bad background noise from my office (you might have to copy and paste the youtube link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc2CNB2UjZU I'll post the demo if someone promises to try it out on their harmony cart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauauu Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'll post the demo if someone promises to try it out on their harmony cart I'm willing to give it a spin if you need someone to try it on hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMajorHavoc Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm willing to give it a spin if you need someone to try it on hardware. Thanks. Bin is attached BOOM_3d_demo.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauauu Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Game works fine on my Jr. No issues with rolling or flicker. I do find it hard to tell which way I'm facing, and have trouble deciphering what I'm seeing in the "3d" display in a number of cases. Keep up the good work with it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
