MayDay Today

How do you imagine this game looking? Something like Andrew Davies' Boulderdash kernel might work well in a 4A50 bankswitch cart (hopefully I'll be able to do my next batch of protos soon). If you were willing to accept a slight reduction in screen width (eight tiles instead of 10) you might pick up some flexibility. Do you think you could make the game look good in a 10x10 grid of tiles, each 4x18 in dimension (with the rows being color-striped)?

Wow, I hadn't seen that. Any word on the BD project? I imagined this looking like the mockup shows, 7x7 grid, with tiles 2x16 in dimension. That would start halfway across the screen and only use PF2 and PF1 (reflected screen). I think a variety of options are open though, depending on comprimises you make vs. time you have. With flicker, I think you can almost display anything you want, as shown by Andrew with BD and Paul Slocum with HSR.
