New 2600 demo file - parallax logo scroller

[Simon]

Hi everybody,

 

please find attached the current version of my logo-scrolling-demo. It contains horizontal parallax srolling, changing patterns, color-cyling in logo and vertial movement of pattern now.

 

The zip contains two different versions concerning the vertical movement: 07a moves both the logo and the pattern while 07b moves the logo only.

 

I prefer 07a, beause the vhorizontal movement looks smoother if logo and pattern are moved parallel vertically (it seems that the distration of the eyes works better in this case). What do you think?

 

I hope that you enjoy the demo and look forward to the next update. I do.

 

Best regards,

Simon

Wow, great work there, I liked the b demo better myself but both of them are neat. :wink:

Heh,

Very nice indeed, from what little I know about 2600/6502 coding, that really is impressive!

I love demos, especially on the 2600, there really isn't enough of them!

It really is odd that the 'ol Atari can do some things that much more capable computer systems could never hope to do and yet is so limited in some other areas.

Nice.

I agree, nice demo, and I appreciate your sharing them with us, Simon. It's very cool to see some people putting together demos for the 2600 now, I look forward to seeing how they evolve over time. Keep up the great work!

That's a nice demo! I especially like the second one in the folder. I look forward to future updates and hearing about any plans to implement something like this into a playable demo.

Hi everybody,

 

please find attached the current version (v11) of my demo "Paragon" - which is planned as the intro (splash screen) of a future game.

 

The use of missiles has been implemented, resulting in three parallax scrolling layers now. No pixel remains at a fixed position - everything is moving in all directions. The grid flashes now and changes patterns and priority over/behind the logo.

 

I hope that you like the routine and feel free to post comments.

 

All the best,

Simon

I think the demo is quite impressive. Keep up the good work, Simon!

Very nice, makes me wonder if it can be used in a side scrolling game like Sonic.
