Fort Apocalypse Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just starting out... needs a lot of work. Can't figure out how to get big ufo (home) to not flicker. ufotraffic0.3.bas ufotraffic0.3.bas.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 In multisprite mode, if two or more players above player0 share the same y axis, they will flicker. So unless someone has a way to work around this, I think it'll have to flicker. Nice game so far, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I could get it somehow to where the big ufo flickering wasn't so bad. I think that using the playfield may be the best option.

Gorf Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I love the look! Great job so far. How about on the big UFO, perhaps make it an enery field instead so the flicker is actually an effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Apocalypse Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 I love the look! Great job so far. How about on the big UFO, perhaps make it an enery field instead so the flicker is actually an effect? Check out this version, and let me know if you'd still like to see an energy field. I think that is a neat idea if you can tell me what it should look like or let me know if you just like the big ufo. Added life counter etc., sound effects... ufotraffic1.0.bas ufotraffic1.0.bas.asm.txt ufotraffic1.0.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Apocalypse Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Fixed collision bug. Now have to complete (level + 1) screens before level ends. Added landing screen. ufotraffic1.5.bas ufotraffic1.5.bas.asm.txt ufotraffic1.5.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big UFO works but perhaps just make that the color cycle object. The land color cycling along with it is a bit of a distraction but yes a playfiled based ufo is better. Nice work!

Fort Apocalypse Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) * remove home base color cycling. * slowed down game in second level. * added new part of game to shoot down ufo from home base. * added varied ufo traffic. ufotraffic1.7.bas ufotraffic1.7.bas.bin Edited February 12, 2008 by Fort Apocalypse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorf Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 more ufos attack base per request! having some trouble with collision detection though (makes it tough to shoot down ufos but not impossible).

MausGames Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 This is really good, it's fun but I didn't play long because it's also pretty hard. In the latest bin, my shots were going through the ships sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Apocalypse Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Slow down the missiles, and/or double their height. Try this out. Missile looks like a missile - is slow and glowing.
