Hyper Sprite

[LS_Dracon]

I have an idea, to use playfield for compose one elaborated sprite.

The resolution is low, anyway I like the result.

Set both players to match playfield pixels size, then use assimetrical mirowed playfield (PF2-PF2).

Set the background as white, PF as black and put the sprite in the middle, you can draw black borders with playfield (16 pixels wide) and the colors come from sprite, 8 pixels wide, in this demo I use both missiles, give-me plus 2 pixels, so 16 pixels wide for black and 10 pixels wide for colors, 4 colors per line.

I forgot to convert sprite to binnary in upsidedown view and I have problems to optimise the kernal, anyway with sprite data in upsidedown view, I have more free cicles to add Ball (plus 1 black pixel) or PF1 Data (not assimetrical).

I think this coud be useful for title screen, or some cutscene.

 

This is the image and binnary :

that's really cool, but you don't think that's something that could be used in-game, obviously?

My idea is just to display an image, such title,logo or ending screen... I don't know one possible use in-game.

It can't be moved in horizontal, unless if I use playfield scrolling, but this waste much cicles... The vertical movement is free.

This image can be drawed at single scanline resolution, also.

No, I miss this topic, thanks for info.

Cave in had a great title screen, well drawed and good use of the colors.

Now figure use "cave in" text (players) to enchance the character, drawing eyes, clothes details and others. Not necessary to do in cave in title screen, as the image is good like that.

Update, now fixed the missiles bug, and with 2 scanlines I can use simetrical playfield 1.

 

This code is for PF2, players and missiles.

Here's an image and the binary with PF1 data. The 3 last pixels of PF1 delay 1 line.
