Endless Runner 2600 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Is there a tutorial or guide for displaying a 4 digit score, cause I tried searching the forums and couldn't find any tutorials. I looked for videos on youtube and also couldn't find any. Edited April 26, 2019 by Endless Runner 2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 My tutorial shows how to use the playfield to display two 2 digit scores (colors are funky as it's in attract mode). In reply 56 of The Celery Game topic I helped atari2600land convert it for a single 4 digit display. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevKelley Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This is interesting. Was curious as to methods how but never really looked further into it. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Another method is to put both sprites into 2 copies close mode and position players 0 and 1 so they line up like this: 0101 then do something like this: ldy #7 ScoreLoop: sta WSYNC lda (ThousandDigit),y sta GRP0 lda (HundredDigit),y sta GRP1 lda (TenDigit),y tax lda (OneDigit),y SLEEP ??? ; delay until the Thousand has been drawn stx GRP0 ; replace Thousands with Tens sta GRP1 ; replace Hundreds with Ones dey bpl Score Loop The value for ??? depends upon the the X position of the score display. It's basically a truncated version of the 6-digit score, which ends up being simpler because you don't need to use VDEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
