Great game. I am not of a good gamer, but really enjoyed it (still on lvl 1 ).

[Justin Payne]

Nice work!

[TheNameOfTheGame]

Wow! This is a really nice game!

[biobern]

WHAT A GREAT GAME! Maybe the most beautiful of them all. Graphics are up to the highest Nintendo NES-standards IMHO. Around seven colors per sprite!? I still don't get how you did that. Music and gameplay is also great. What I'm missing is an attract mode (just for watching the beauty of this game when I'm lying in bed) and maybe an integrated screen with the instructions.

Marek, don't you think that with RGB awesome engine Impossible Mission could be programmed?

Thanks for such a nice package with source included!

Great game, wish you many more!

Yeah.. I don't know it neither because the sprites has 3 colours plus background

I had to look at youtube to see Impossible Mission. It does not look too complicated but I don't know if it fits to RGB engine. I think that better is to program "engine" for Impossible Mission. Btw. RGB engine is rather simple. It's just 5-color char mode with changing 2 colors per charline (black, gray and white is base for whole level screen). And it's just colored with PMGs for robot "heads", calibration "eye" and bonuses.

The first post was updated with new files. Some minor tweaks and fixed small bug found by Xuel (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229321-rgb-a-game-for-the-abbuc-software-contest-2014/page-3?do=findComment&comment=3106348) .

Quick question. I loaded the source into WUDSN and it doesn't know a compiler for the .XSM extension. What assembler is that extension for?

 

**edit** NVM, it was XASM. Found it with google.

[MaPa]

Yeah.. I use my own extension for XASM source files... the default was .asx I think.

[Back2skooldaze]

Very good and well thought out puzzle game love it!!!!!

[pseudografx]

Thanks, we're glad you like it :-)

[Heaven/TQA]

re ASX... was not good on Windows systems...

[CrazyChris]

What are the memory requirements to run this?

[Rybags]

64K according to the PDF instructions.

The colors in RGB seem to be completely off, perhaps your video capture device has some issue? Either that or the pot in the machine itself has been rotated. The game adjusts for PAL/NTSC automatically so that is not the issue.

There's no scanline artifacts as you'd expect, maybe it's an Altirra capture (you can mess with settings and get way off colours easily enough).  Plus you generally don't get the bus noise at the far right (though it's years since I've done an analog capture from real Atari)

[pseudografx]

It's XEGS's composite output, as you can see in some parts of the stream. And the bus noise is there, e.g.  if you use HDMI upscaler + HDMI capture device.

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll open up my XEGS and fiddle with the pots to see if I can adjust the picture.

 

I just took the screenshot below from Altirra (left) and a capture of the stream (right) from last night and WOW is my system way out of whack! It's not even close, blue looks like green and green looks like yellow. Red is... at least in the ball park. No wonder we were having so much trouble with the colour playing the game.

 

My console is a composite NTSC XEGS upscaled through a Framemeister (soon to be RetroTINK 5X-Pro) and I've never touched the internals on the XEGS since I bought it, but it's definitely time. I'll eventually be putting in a Sophia 2 when they're available again, but until then I'll make do with composite out.

Which blue is being used for the G?  It looks like colour 7 or 8 to me.  The captured G looks like colour 10 which is one of those annoying ones where it's bluish green on PAL and greenish blue on NTSC.  But yeah, it looks like the overall signal has phase drift on the colour signal.

 

OK... I took opportunity to play it for the first time in years last night.  Forgot about how to get the grey ones but still made it to Level 4.
