SpiceWare's Blog - game screen progress

RSS Bot · May 15, 2017

Game screen's been rewritten to update the audio sample on every scanline. Squeezing it into the score display area was a bit tricky, ended up replacing the original loop logic with the new Fast Jump feature.

The radar's currently showing a test pattern to confirm it's displaying 8x16.

Left Difficulty A to show the text display, though I'm not sure if we'll need the alpha characters anymore since we have speech samples.

For Harmony on a 2600^*

^* we discovered an issue with Fast Jump that required an update to the Harmony/Melody driver as well as Stella's implementation of it. As such, you'll need Stella 5.0.0-pre8 or newer, which isn't available yet.
