Marc Oberhäuser Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yes, same thing... http://staceygustafson.com/4-signs-of-adult-attention-deficit-disorder-aadd/ The scrolling demo looked like Advanced Dungeon and Dragons (AD&D) for the Intellivision.

PacManPlus Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Wow - we got quite... off... track... The name is now 'Rezolve', I'm still working on coordinates, collision detection, etc. The objects have coordinates that span the entire playfield (not just the viewable window). This makes for some "fun" issues for collision detection, etc as all coordinates use two bytes each. Just trying to find the best way to deal with all of this. The way I had it before didn't allow for shots, etc. ... Hey Marc! Yep, the dual-zone scroll demo was going to be a Advanced D&D (part II) sort of... I abandoned that in favor of this, and found that the dual zone scroll didn't work too well with this theme for my tastes.

78001987 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Any chance that since this is Zombie themed, we can get some sweet, sweet melee weapons added in addition to shooting weapons? Every good zombie movie has head-bashing with sticks/bats/machetes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The scrolling demo looked like Advanced Dungeon and Dragons (AD&D) for the Intellivision. Reminds me of a discussion that Jerry Jessop was recently taking part in over at the Atari Museum Facebook group where he mentioned Tod Frye had quickly hacked together a "console" design using 4 TIAs to be used for multiple screen scrolling as an example of how Atari Inc's internal team could do better work than GCC and that Warner should go with them and cancel the GCC project [7800]. He also mentioned in another cancelled project - and prior to the 5200 - had a TIA and GTIA working together. Apparently, that was after the Sylvia was cancelled which now has been determined to have had a 6502 for the CPU but the 10-Bit component was the graphics chip STIA which the programmers hated. Sorry…the subject of scrolling led me onto a tangent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 ^^Multiple monitors? Such progressive thinking back then! Sorry, I didn't phrase that correctly. Multiple scrolling on the same screen. So a screen could be divided into four corners and there would be separate scrolling in each. I think that's about right… Supposedly, Frye didn't spend much time on it…more of an impressive proof of concept and what Atari engineers could do on the fly and cheaply without having to contract out such a thing.

PacManPlus Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Back on topic, I hope to have a *very early* WIP posted soon. We're heading to Orlando for the 'Free Play Florida' expo next weekend, so development might get interrupted. Thanks! Bob 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 ^^Multiple monitors? Such progressive thinking back then! Sorry to go off-topic but in the arcade, Atari had a few multi-monitor setups they released, they were very much ahead of the curve : 1977: 2 Game Module 1978: Subs 1984: TX-1 On topic - look forward to seeing how Rezolve has progressed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi Guys: As promised, here is a *VERY* early WIP. The zombies don't regenerate, there is no sound, and if you get caught the game halts. This is just so you get an idea of where I'm going with this. Thanks, Bob Rezolve.A78 Rezolve.bin 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 360 shooting with autofire....this looks real good so far!!! Indeed, that auto-fire will help quell any hand cramping from the NTSC stock controller. Just an early WIP and it's clear the man is at it again working his magic....Loving it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Any plans to have a quick little ending to the game Bob ? It would be nice to see some games that have an ending of some sort . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC-42 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I've always said that, in the hands of enterprising coders, the 7800 is capable of some really fantastic things. This just serves to illustrate that point. Even in this very young state, it's a wonderful thing to see and to know that it could be played on 7800 hardware. (Alas, I'm limited to emulation.) Outstanding, absolutely outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
