Isometric Games, but Scrolling

[José Pereira]

Like I said on the other Topic I am with a Isometric Game in Hands for Months.

 

I have Sprites, way of translate into A8,...

 

I also get by now, sucessfully the NES Chars and have the into 4colour 2:1.

 

So, what I want?

Just want to know some new things!...

 

CHAR/TILES ANTIC4 Char-Mode with FINE SROLLING:

5Colours and Fine Scrolling: O.K.

But how it is done?

For ex.: Moving UpRight - You put 1pixel (2pixels because it's 2:1, 1colour clock) HScroll Reg. right and then 1pixel VScroll Reg. (Fine Scrolling Enabled)?

Do like this for all other side movements?

CHARSETS:

If I have more than 128Chars (1Charset) and need even more for the SoftSprites.

How to get out of this?

 

Is it possible to do like:

ACE...

BDF... Chars on Line

 

Now how to place Soft Sprites?

From other Topic's converstion someone says it will be difficult to do like a Char-Mode in "pseudo-bitmap", replace the Gfxs.Chars with the SoftSprite Chars.

 

 

If so, could I have, for ex.:

1Charset by two Lines.

ACE...

BDF...

 

and just normally SoftSprite routine.

Soft Sprites beiing another Chars (Inverse, OR, AND,...), normal Soft Sprite routine.

 

 

O.k., want I want from this?

Instead of having each Char nº as one Gfx., have the Screen Gfxs. in CharMode and act as Bitmap.

Then Soft Sprites as normal/usual with their own Chars (includ. shifting,...)

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone can help at this one?

 

 

 

Thanks.

Greetings.

Yes, Blue Max, Zaxxon,...

 

Or others that doesn't exist on A8, like MadMix2, Pac-Mania, Gauntlet3,...

 

 

 

Thanks.

Pacmania and Gauntlet 3 are simple as scrolling there is nothing special.

[Heaven/TQA]

Pacmania seems simple...

 

4 ghost use reserved chars, pacman PMs, rest chars...

Hi.

Yes, PAC-MANIA is coming into A8!

Another great Game that was missing in our Games Library.

 

Let's wait, but I think it will look very good, plays very good and

coded by a very competent A8 guy...
