Subject: [stella] Displaying scores - how? From: emooney1@xxxxxxxx (Erik K Mooney) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 00:22:12 EST |
Before I spend a week barking up the wrong tree, can someone reveal how 2600 games display scores? (not playfield like Combat, I mean high-res like Missile Command, Millipede, Defender, Pac-man, etc.) I suspect its three copies of each player, rewriting GRP0 and GRP1 between display of each copy.. am I right? This would account for the six-digit limit on all 2600 games I've seen except Dark Cavern, which had three dummy zeroes anyway. If I'm right, is there any easy way to rip the font used in one of those games so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? (also, using the same typeface might lend an air of classic-game credibility to the program.) -- To unsubscribe, send the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of a message to stella-request@xxxxxxxxxxx
