framed distellamap 2600 ROM rendering print

You've surely heard of the distellamap project, but you may not have seen a framed distella print.

 

 

See my blog article about it here:

Holy smokes that's awesome!

[+RandomPerson]

That is amazing and beautiful.

[Rom Hunter]

Fascinating.

 

I wonder what Raiders of the Lost Ark looks like.

I gather that bankswitching isn't taken into consideration, so Raiders would be missing some key jumps (that lead to other jumps/branches/etc). The same probably goes for indirect jumps/returns, so the 4k Alien would also be missing most of the program (for example). These problems could be fixed if the program allowed parameters to be manually passed/entered.

That... is... so... cool.

Interesting. He speculates that Pac-Man was the most complex-looking because of the ghosts' AI, though in reality the apparent complexity could just be bad programming...

 

It's cool, nonetheless.

...Fitting any of these games' code AND graphics into 4096 bytes, well, I'd call that miraculous more than bad programming.

Naah... Several of us here have written 2600 games in 1024 bytes.

 

My point was that Pac-Man just has more branches so it appears more complex. More creative 2600 programming might use fewer branches and more calculation/tables.

I wonder what Dennis' version of Pac-Man would look like, in comparison.

I dunno...spaghetti code is pretty complex to weed through

 

Complex = hard-to-follow

Yes, I would like to see some homebrews like this.

 

To bad, that the tools seems not to be public available.

 

BTW: Does it handle code like "lda <Table" correctly too?
