emkay Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 There seems to be a dark hole belonging to the 8-bit interested people chatting at Atariage... showing something new... Actually it seems R.M.T. is standing still.... and any hopes of a full A8 supporting sound-tool with a proper POKEY emulation is gone with the wind. No Cosine member to argue with/against Even Graph2fnt is very distant from the forum. No new version... no pictures done or converted... In two days the Grayscale Contest ends... I wonder how many songs are in the contest and how much "new" sounding is put in there. ....all so busy.... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracon Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 There seems to be a dark hole belonging to the 8-bit interested people chatting at Atariage... showing something new... or maybe it's a holiday time ? Even Graph2fnt is very distant from the forum. as far as I know, TeBe is busy with some different projects, he recently finished his game "DYNABLASTER" that takes part in ABBUC's software contest. You can even vote for this game! BTW. TeBe works at improving map feature and animation in G2F at present. no pictures done or converted... there are no new G2F graphics from you, either. I wonder how many songs are in the contest and how much "new" sounding is put in there. did you take part in this competition? ....all so busy.... yeah, some really do, especially some Polish groups that prepares their demos for QUAST party (that starts in some weeks).

emkay Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 or maybe it's a holiday time ? Holiday all over the Planet ? yeah, some really do, especially some Polish groups that prepares their demos for QUAST party (that starts in some weeks). I wish I could gather a group for doing the same... But where to get professional Graphicians, Musicians, Game-Designers and make them clear that they have to do their part on the A8...

Albert Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Holiday all over the Planet ? Summertime always results in lower traffic to the site and the forums. In fact, it's gorgeous outside right now and I'm wondering why I'm not outside yet. One of the most common requests we get is to add an 8-bit section to AtariAge, and while work is slow in that department it will eventually come to pass. I'm a big fan of the 8-bit computers (did a ton of programming on them back in the day, plus ran a popular BBS for years), so it's a section I'm quite eager to see here at AtariAge.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack-c0s Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 This cosine member is working his arse off as a tech support monkey and doing a few things on other platforms at the moment Haven't forgotten you all though - when things ease up a bit timewise I'll get back into the A8.

analmux Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 ..and I started coding again today for the Super Mario clone. now working on screen/scrolling engine version 2 when I looked into my sourcecode today I needed a lot of time to figure out how I made the screen/scrolling engine version 1 coming days I'll code a few hours...now my girlfriend is gone for 11 days...much spare time now. ------------------------------ Super Mario Clone status: -levels & graphics: complete -music: still to be written -screen/scrolling engine: almost working but needs to be rewritten because of lack of cpu-time -sprite engine: working -playing routine: to be written -title screen + level decompressor: ready Work already done (estimate): 85 % Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analmux. Great news, looking forward to seeing Mario. Heaven/TQA: Cool, good to see all the code still being worked on! Dracon BTW.

Heaven/TQA Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 i really get old... i just found another baby sitting on my webserver... i cant remember how i coded it but i just remember that 1997 on a demo party here in south germany some c64 guy explained me how most of the "tunnel" - fx are made on commo machines so i implemented this "slow" version which enables moving and is more flexible... (ok still hell slow but for me it was just a test...) so this reminds me analmux... looking at code and not figuring out what the hell mind thought years ago... titel55b.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 better press F7 in emulator... can someone remember who made the music? and nice trick to implement the ramtest routine and fills the banks with extra gfx and lookup tables...on 64k machines you'll just see 1 effect...

Heaven/TQA Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 thanks miker... what is your girlfriend thinking that you can remember the name of an MPT music track sounding worse than a ring tone back from 1997... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a shame if you didnt have some 'secrets' in your Super Mario Bros clone - aka Easter Eggs Don't worry, there are loads of secret rooms, boxes and invisible holes in walls in the game. Every level has at least one secret room. -------- @ Tezz, I'd like to see Bubble Bobble. If you have problems with getting the software sprites working, just PM me. I've got a lot of ideas to handle them, as I S.W.-sprites in a scrolling area for the flashcart game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a lot of ideas to handle them, as I S.W.-sprites in a scrolling area for the flashcart game.Hey, thanks. I'm hoping to get a preview posted shortly, I've been too busy at work these last few weeks to get much done. Things are progressing nicely with the plans, the limited character set size shouldn't be a problem as I don't need all of the tiles and software sprite shapes on the screen at once so simply having more than one set solves that, although I'm not sure how well my routine will be for the main bub and bob sprites as they are made from software sprites with PM overlays. The 3rd colour player overlap worked out as planned so bub and bob look as intended. If you have a nice and optimised PM/software sprite routine. That would be great to look through. Regards, Tezz..

JayoK Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 And here I was plotting secretly in the back ground an A8 Bubble Bobble... little did I know that others were working on it Cancel that project. I need a little help here folks, I used program my A8 years ago and only recently returned and I would like a little project as a refresher - would any of you suggest something that I could work on that you would like to see? My plan with BB was an intro screen, music and just say 3 levels as a proof-of-concept type of thing. So I suppose something like that would be cool, any suggestions?
