Donkey Kong 3?

[Atari Dogs]

I have been busy and have not seen this one. Keep up the good work.

 

(If this one isn't called Donkey Kong 3 and you release the final rom, I know what my cartrige will be called. )

Some other issues:

 

- "Below ground level" allows me to go off screen, get stuck in black space

- "Levels" sometimes goof up (i.e. hovering over the ground); seems to be caused by jumping that "gap" in stage 3

- Occasional distortion of "bug picking up plant" sound effect (long beep)

- Sometimes no "clear" sound effect UPDATE: this seems to happen if you clear the stage while a bug is picking up a plant

- Score has jumped from "27-" to "460"-ish on stage clear

 

I'm really having fun with this.

Donkey Kong 3? Is it possible on the 2600?

 

Well, I guess it is.

I moved some code around and attempted to fix some bugs. I think I got rid of a few of them. Now the code is spread evenly through the two banks instead of bank 2 having 100 bytes left it now has about 1,000, and bank 1 has about 1,800.

Hi Chris

Great,to see how this great game continues......

Is it possible to change the bee sprite,so that it loks more like a bee?

And maybe a little bit player animation?

This would make the game perfect.The sound is really good.And the whole game is fantastic..

Keep up the good work.....

Whoa, this is coming along really fast.

 

I have a couple of graphical suggestions, though. First of all, would it be possible to make the playfield a lighter shade of green? Second, if you decide to do player animations, you could make the bee's have a similar effect as "Frog's and Flies" by making two sprites (one horizontal, one vertical) overlap each other and flash between them. I think that gives a great wing animation. Third, when the missile hits donkey kong, if you found a way to explode it, that'd be great.

Put in some suggestions. Keep it up, I'd like more, and I'd like this to be a perfect game before I call it finished.

I like the bees. Looks good. Is it possible to move the flowers far enough down so that when Stan is on the bottom level he doesn't flicker?

[TrekMD]

Wow, this just gets better and better.

[+atari2600land]

OK, I need help. Basically what I need is a better collision code for the bees. What I have in there now isn't working as well now that I moved Stanley to player0. One of the bees (player5) is blue, that's to help distinguish it from the other bee that takes the flowers away and will not be the final color. Any help here?

Hi Chris

Looks really good now.The bees look much better now and the player animation is good.

How about a 4th screen???Then we would have something,that DK3 does not have.

Wow. This is coming together fast (and looking good as well). Keep it up!!

[gambler172]

Hi Chris

Or how about an end sequence,when passed the 3rd screen?Is there enough space to do this or even a 4th screen?

greetings Walter

Looks and plays awesome Atari2600land, it really has gotten better with every revision! Do keep up the hardwork, thank you for creating it and sharing it with us!

Trying to make a coordinate based collision detection routine since it seems like a handy thing for me and atari2600land right now.

 

Here is the code I was trying to use for a 16 pixel tall 8 pixel wide but double-wide (effectively 16x16) sprite:

 

collide_boss
rem temp1 is the far right of sprite
temp1 = player1x + 16
rem temp2 is the bottom of sprite
temp2 = player1y + 16
rem see if player0 is in the middle of player1 left and right boundaries
if player0x > player1x && player0x < temp1 then goto col_boss_stage2 else return
col_boss_stage2
rem see if player0 is between player1 top and bottom boundaries
if player0y < temp2 && player0y > player1y then gosub draw_hit
return

 

Doesn't seem to work right. I'm assuming the x, y coordinates for sprites start (the origin if you will) at the top-left right?

 

UPDATE: Seems to be the bottom-left is the origin. This code still doesn't work:

collide_boss
if player0x < player1x then if player0x > (player1x+16) then goto col_boss_stage2 else return
col_boss_stage2
if player0y < player1y then if player0y > (player1y-16) then gosub draw_hit
return

Hi Chris

Any news?

How about a 4th screen(if there is enough space)?

Or a little ending sequence,when beating the last stage?
