I tried turning them off with "pfhline 0 11 31 off" but it broke the 10x8 grid code for no apparent reason. 1line13.bas has 10 lines in the playfield definition I don't know why pfhline isn't working, but maybe that has something to do with it Edited May 26, 2020 by bogax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogax Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) heh I just realized you're telling it to turn on the 12th line in phline (you want row 10) Edited May 26, 2020 by bogax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 I found the culprit: var46 put those pfblocks on the screen. I don't know why, but it did. So I replaced var46 with bally and it works now. EDIT: using anything other than var47 puts pfblocks on the screen. Fortunately I had an unused variable, g, to use for the line detection, so I used it. 1line14.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was finally able to solve puzzle #4 earlier today (figured out 1-3 on the show). Puzzle #5 still eludes me but I'll keep at it. - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Just found a bug I think, I was working on Puzzle #5 and didn't get it right. I pressed the button to stop drawing and start over and it said I got it right? Here's what it looked like. EDIT: This also resulted in a win state: Edited May 27, 2020 by ZeroPage Homebrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbabyte Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Are you planning on finishing this? I know it's been over a year since the last update, but I just discovered Polarium Advance last night, and I'd LOVE to see this version of the game completed, as I think it works really well as a 2600 game.
