It's the last day to get this done as tomorrow is the reveal day! I've just implemented sound into the game. Is it good sound? No. Is it good-enough-for-now-sound? Yes! It's just a very basic sound engine that I can improve upon later as I progress with the game. It gives enough feedback to what's happening on the screen. When you do something good, there's a good sound. When you do something bad, there's a bad sound! 🙂 I'll continue to work on the game until tonight as I still need to fix the score kernel. It's kind of doing what I want, it's almost there, but it's not displaying quite right. I'll have to step through the code to see where it's going wrong but I think I can fix it in time for tomorrow. I also would like to change one of the hardware based collisions to a software based one. I think I can do it fairly easily but we'll see, there are two very different data tables that need to be compared. It's not the end of the world if I can't get that implemented in time for tomorrow. - James UPDATE 1: Added more difficulty with level advancement. UPDATE 2: Implemented a very important gameplay element of "Warning Condition" 20240328 Build: ✓ Implemented Warning Condition ✓ More difficulty with level advancement ✓ Basic Sound

We're down to the wire now, less than two days to go before the reveal! I worked on the animation for both the player and enemy and got 95% of the animations done. I'm quite please with how they turned out. There's still a tiny bit more to animate on the enemy but I'm going to put that aside and start to work on the score as that's more important right now. If I can get that done tonight then that just leaves the sound for tomorrow! There are a couple of non-game-breaking bugs that I'm hoping to also fix before tomorrow, but if I don't it's not the end of the world. ONLY ONE MORE DAY OF CODING LEFT BEFORE FRIDAY REVEAL! 20240327 Build: ✓ Animate Player and Enemy - James

That makes sense now why they don't fit in the tabletop games. The adapters from AA -> C don't add any length, they just replicate the width so they don't shift around. That's too bad there's such a small difference in height. I've noticed the adapters work with devices that have a little more room in the battery compartment so they may work in some tabletops, just not the ones I've tried. Thanks for the info Darrell! - James -

I have tried to use the below pictured AA to C adapters but they didn't quite fit in. So like Nathan Strum said, there seems to be a size difference between rechargable and non that makes them just a touch too big for the tabletop games. Oooh, that is nice! Such a great version of the game, so well adapted. - James -
I knew I wouldn't be able to do any programming after the show today so I thought I'd implement some important gameplay elements that I needed to get done. Difficulty finally advances as the game goes on! It might be advancing a little fast at the moment but that can easily be adjusted with one number change. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS OF CODING LEFT BEFORE FRIDAY REVEAL! - James 20240326 Build: ✓ Corrected Object Placement with Level Advancement (20240326) ✓ Increased Enemy Speed with Level Advancement (20240326)

Looking for NTSC rom of Zkeep! - have PAL version instead
ZeroPage Homebrew replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 2600
Both Battlezone and Warlords have line count issues and corrected binaries for Battlezone and Warlords have been released. It says on the RetroTink 2x Mini product page that it accepts PAL signal so it should work fine, but I can't be certain. There are a few small line count issues in ZKeep that I saw while playing, but they are brief and infrequent. Unfortunately, as you've seen, I believe the 2x does not play well will line count issues and might cut out the picture completely for a period of time. - James EDIT: Asteroids has been fixed as well.
