+cmadruga Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hey once I’m done with the basics I’m not opposed to plugging some crazier stuff. It’s all about entering the right codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many colours can the player have? the current HELO looks like he has 4, so isn't your Santa ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) it has 4 monochrome 8x8 sprites on top of each other, so the 4 colors must be striped.. Edited October 10, 2019 by TIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kai_Magazine Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 That santa is very cool! You can use 8x16 sprites instead of 8x8 sprites, that way you can mix colors. You just need to free 3 tiles out of the 64 for that pruppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been stacking sprites because there hasn’t been a lot of need for overlapping colors so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Folks, there's something that I wanted to share here in the interest of full disclosure. Rev has kindly offered to present H.E.L.I. at his PRGE booth next week. Folks will be able to test it and present feedback. I'm hoping that this will generate enough interest for... who knows?... maybe a cartridge release? At least Rev says he could make it happen, being the powerful guy that he is. Me? I'm just an amateur weekend programmer having fun. Never dreamed of having a cartridge released. SO, to those that have been contributing with ideas, assets, etc, I want to be transparent. Now, if the cartridge release would go ahead, I'm not setting the price, and I'm not getting a single cent. I asked Rev to donate anything he would normally pay me to charity. More specifically, to the United States Mine Rescue Association, who helps ensure that real folks stuck in real mines get the help they need by real HEROES. Anyway, TIX is already aware and I know he's cool about using his work on a possible release. I just didn't want anyone else contributing to feel like they've been taken advantage of. I would do my best to acknowledge folks for their contributions, but I'm not making money and I can't provide any financial compensation. So, that's it. Let me hear from you.
