[Experimenting with colors changing every HBL]

I see, it only works on emulator, but not on real lynx, anyway it's a starting point for my experimenting.

I'll try reducing the colors per line and optimixing the palette leaving some fixed colors.

I think i left some code in the public version here. But I was not satisfied because i left too many relicts in the picture.

[Experimenting with colors changing every HBL]

will not work. if you use HBL interrupt you dont have the time to set the full palette.

you either have to poll the register or set up another timer which interrupts before the end of line and then poll the register.

maybe this helps for designing.

 

OPT1 switch left (header) and right (program)

OPT2 switched sound off and on (and stops all sound effects)

 

there is some check for a "kill" sequence, thus it is impossible to use DO/LOOP with 0 or negative value.

On a side note... there is a reason why Bombercats, my bomberman hommage game is not released yet... and guess why...

 

because the comlink doesnt work reliable?

[aprils fool?]

bump this one.

 

still looking for some voluneetrs for new levels to fill up the rom.

[Skip sprite flag]

you mainly avoid reading the rest of the sprite SCB and data.

weird corordinates is not the problem for the hardware.

[Skip sprite flag]

depending on what you want to set teh srpites, it might be easier to just set the hi byte of the sprite data address to zero ?

[Broken Suzy?]

strange. how about a short at data or address pin of suzy?

 

but then chained sprites would work, and it does not look tooo bad

Thanks for this complete description TailChao. It confirms my initial understanding that producing tracks for HandyMusic is quite a bit more involved than using Chipper (which can render the track within the editor). In an ideal world, someone will someday be interested in producing a tracker for HandyMusic .

chipper writes outr HandyMusic tracks, too ... but the instruments are not 100% compaible and must be modofied by hand.

[Atari Lynx Programmer Pi Hat Orders]

check the loader which block size it is expecting. or check if the data is repeating after 512 or 1024 bytes.

[Atari Lynx Programmer Pi Hat Orders]

you can always use 2048 and check what you get. then choose the correct one.

Now when I think about this there is also the chip8 interpreter.

Wasnt there some debug interface in the BLL kit which allowed to modify memory by comlynx ;-)))

[30 years - unqualified game]

you can still modify the rom. (see my AVP or Xenophobe cheat for example). Unless its well packed and encrypted (like the tetris above)

[30 years - unqualified game]

Maybe for the SV competition

[30 years - unqualified game]

next question would be if there is a level editor with which one can change the backgrounds
