[xxl]

you can play now. please do not redistribute this version.

 

in the near future I will be looking for a person with experience who would like to create levels for the game (a dedicated level editor is available - it works in a windows environment)

Hello XXL

 

What does H2 stand for?

Hmmm, what might that be? 😎

 

 

Over the weekend I read the article about Hobgoblin in Kieran Hawken's small ebook A-Z of Atari 8-Bit Games and thought that I might give it a try.

What a coincidence.

I bought Hobgoblin and I am glad that you're working on HG II.

Aha, that's what disappeared so fast.  When I start H2 in Atari800MacX 5.2.1 ("Limit to normal speed") there's just enough time to see that something was printed to the screen before it disappears.  Now that I know what it should read, I see that is says Hobgoblin 2.

Hi xxl,

 

looking forward to the finished game.

Those are fast software sprites. Are you using a bitmap or a char mode?

[xxl]

character mode but with a fixed screen memory, so you make any changes to the character set.

therefore I have no limitations of 128 characters in the set and can still enjoy some of the advantages of text mode and some detailed graphical operations can be done faster.

I hear it's too hard ...

 

 

play like a boss: shift+b

it won't be in the final version
