    Chetiry - my first rocket still hasnt happened


  2. I know nothing of Tetris, er, um, Chetiry strategies, other than leaving a 'line' open for the 'l' blocks for max points, is there a stacking order thats best for longevity? I have only hit around the 58,000 point mark

     

    I want a rocket in my pocket:)

  3. This IS beautiful work, any updates?

     

     

    Here's a sneak peak of something I've been working on - it's just a kernel test at the moment really - I ran into a couple of bugs in stella, so theres two binaries attached, one for stella and one for the real machine.....I'm due to work on the proper ball movement and bat collisions next, the ones in this version are not how I plan on implementing it, they are a bit buggy but I need to rework all the code for different speeds of the ball etc...

     

    If anyone does have a chance to test it on real hardware - I need to make sure the paddle read is working ok, seems fine on my hardware, but my paddles are bit jittery anyway so it's hard to be sure - Omegamatrix mentioned issues with paddle reads and early hmove here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/223653-maintaining-p0-horizontal-position-after-previous-resp0/

     

    I'm not planning to do an exact clone of arkanoid as I prefer to do things in a way that suits the 2600 - the enemies won't go into the brick area or cross the same scanlines as I'm flicker averse, also multi-ball will only have two balls and a few other changes I'm sure....

     

    The bricks are just a random mix of colours at the moment to test the kernel - it supports three different colour bricks per line with some limitations

     

    Excuse the programmer graphics :)

     

    The screenshot below is with Stella's NTSC ratio set all the way down at 81 - this is about the ratio I see on my screen.
