Subject: Re: [stella] [POLL] So, what are you working on? From: Joe Grand <jgrand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 19:44:39 -0500 |
I've been pretty strapped for time, but spent a few late, late nights working on the display kernel. I finished up drawing the drivehead and have vertical movement (though I don't know if I'm doing it right - I'm just keeping a counter on the decrementing Y and when it reaches the point to start drawing the drivehead, it starts drawing the drivehead :) I started playing with horizontal movement and positioning for the data blobs (currently are the cars from Freeway), I ran into some timing problems. I think I will need to do a two-line kernel so I can get everything done in time. I will definetely need help with optimization when I get to a decent point. Watching all the talk about the 6-digit score display made me reconsider what I currently have (just 2 digits). I will probably need 4 digits and doing it in hex will be quite fitting for my game (considering it's supposed to be sort of like a virtual hard drive :) So 4 hex digits will give be 65,535 maximum points. Does anyone have a decent font for 0-9 and A-F? I've been using the standard Activision 0-9 but I'd like A-F to match the font type. I haven't totally figured out the scoring, but it will probably be a point or few for each data blob read. Nothing too complicated. Hmm. Maybe I should do 6-digits in hex... :) I still need help thinking of a name - I assume this will be easier when I actually have some decent play action. (For those that forgot, I'm posting binaries and source for my updates on http://www.mindspring.com/~jgrand/atari ) If people want, I can post the bins and source to the list for archival purposes? That's it for now! I still have a TON of work to do.. Maybe I'll be able to get some done on the airplane during my many upcoming travels.. :) Joe At 07:23 PM 2/14/2001 +0100, Manuel Polik wrote: >Hi again! > >When I was new to the list (more than three months ago :-)), I was >asking what everybody was working on.
