mine zone is a hit, and sand land and sea way and sky way is the kind of music that really draws you into a game, would fit in any fine rpg, awesome stuff!!

I don't get the "pairs of pixels using the same color" I'm looking at the tiles in Rikki & Vikki and it looks like they can color them however they want? Can someone direct me to a 320B demo if one exist?

looks like two different versions of vscode, try to uninstall the old one

Are you sure? I'm talking about uninstalling it from withing vscode, close vscode then open c:/users/you/.vscode/extensions and delete everything in there open vscode and download the extension again

Time to start over then

Maybe go to the .vscode/extensions folder and remove everything manually, and then install atari dev studio again

Can I use a 320B sprite on a 160A background? It compiles and has the correct size but I can't get the colors right I'm guessing "pairs of pixels" means you can only change color every other horisontal pixel, so the colors are still 160A resolution and only the horisontal pixels increase with 320B? I made a 16x16 sprite and colored it with 2-pixel wide columns of three random colors + 1 transparant column just to try it but it shows up as black, blue, black, transparant Does it not work, or am I doing it wrong? How do I incgraphic with 320B incgraphic playerSprite.png 320B 0 1 2 3 1 incgraphic playerSprite.png 320B 0 1 2 3 ;and only chose palette when plotting? incgraphic playerSprite.png 320B 4 5 6 7

This worked https://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#testvariables

plotvalue scoredigits_8_wide 3 charValue 6 5 24 that shows it as hex in the two digits to the left if I want to see it as decimal and to the right how would I do it? This only shows the same value everywhere score0 = charValue plotvalue scoredigits_8_wide 3 score0 6 5 24 basically I just want to know how to show a decimal value in my score when I need to?

I just started doing something like that, I think the NES has nametable A and nametable B and when you scroll it goes A B A B A B... and you update the one that's not visable dim tilemap = $2200 ;A (visable area) dim tilemap2 = $23E0 ;B If you can shift that data like how you scroll on 2600, then when you have shifted the entire B screen into A, you can just copy the next screen into B, maybe? But if you wanted to scroll both left and right you would have to have three areas I think, A B C, would that work? Does making your levels with alphachars take less space than the tiled map or same thing?

Do the samples come with atari dev studio to? I can't find them

But wouldn't I just be able to scroll between 0-255, that's a very very small distance to scroll, right? The visable tiles I have in ram at $2200, for the tile collision checks to work I feel like I have to scroll that memory, and fetch a little bit of new data from a bigger map for the side columns or a buffer outside the visable area or something like that?

Thanks, where can I find atascii.png so I can compile the shifty demo?

Instead of changing stuff in the tilemap in RAM, is it possible to have the tileset in ram and change tiles there, I think some NES games does that?

Is this just one way of doing it? Could I use the same technique but scroll one pixel a frame and with colors? At first I thought I could make a big level in tiled and just use x and y variables in the plotmap command to scroll around, but that wouldn't be able to scroll very far would it, if it even works.

Oh, It was the temp variables being used somewhere

I'm trying to do tile collision the simplest way, the map is in ROM, but I just get the same value wherever I check temp1 = playerX / 4 temp2 = playerY / 8 lookupchar = peekchar( tiledMap4x8, temp1, temp2, 40, 24 ) temp4 = converttobcd(lookupchar) plotvalue font 3 temp4 2 24 8 Just says 18 everywhere when I move the player around? What am I doing wrong?

Is there some benefit to using doublewide on?

Thanks, I've tried everything for five hours.. I'm just gonna give up on this for about a year just like I did last time I tried 🙂

Thanks, I'm using the same font, at first the screen was completely scrambled, so I did the characterset right before when they were needed characterset testsprite plotmap tiledMap4colors 0 0 0 20 12 0 0 40 plotmap tiledMap4colors 0 80 0 20 12 20 0 40 characterset font plotchars '1up' 3 20 3 3 plotchars scoreText0 3 12 4 6 That made the background good but not the font apparently, do I need to re-draw the font in my tileset and only do one characterset or can I use it like I do? I don't understand what you mean, "added to the bank" especially? Could you try to explain in other words? I tried doing the incgraphic font.png 160A first thing in my code that made the 6 digits show up, 010101, then I changed 160A to 160B in the incgraphic, and that made the text say 1up but now only shows the first 3 digits, 000, So it's allmost working now, except only 3 digits? I tried to change 1up to "score" but it also only shows first 3 letters, I both changed the number_of_chars parameter and removed it, no luck.

I copied quickscore to my code, what am I doing wrong if plotchars '1up' 3 20 3 3 ;shows up as 23 ]& plotchars scoreText0 3 12 3 6 ;doesn't show up at all?

Even better! Thanks! Btw, what does displaymode affect? Since I have it as 160A but the tiles for my background as 160B, and how can that be good for extra colors like mksmith described?

That makes my map 40 columns wide, but 32 is the highest to choose when plotting, so would making two maps and plotting them next to eachother be a good choice?

I suspected something like that, thanks!!
