Hi Paul! >>Now I'm thinking of alternatives. Does anybody have an >>idea? >I know it's kind of an established standard in vintage video games to have >stars flying towards you, but it's not very realistic. The stars should >really be stationary and just pan in different directions when you steer >the ship. Hm... I've spent quite some time this year playing almost all recent & uptodate space games. Out of this list: X-Wing Alliance Freespace 2 Klingon Acadamey Starlancer Tachyon Klingon Acadamey has the most statinonary stars and it's the only game on the list that really sucks. Might be some strange coincidence, but... :-) (BTW: Though being Off-Topic: "Tachyon" is by far the best pick out of these IMHO!) >I don't know if this would help much or even if you'd want to >stray from the standard "flying starfield", but it's an idea. ;o) Thanks. I'll think about it, really. I always write all suggestions & ideas down to my design block. Right before starting some longer car ride, I read through this list of ideas and while driving I think about it. - It works ;-) >And I'd be interested to see your kernal source. It's probably the worst copy & Paste mess I ever produced, but you asked for it ;-) The main display kernel loop is labled 'NextLine'. Its drawing the crosshair, then there's two checks: - wether to reposition a sprite - wether to draw a sprite After that it branches into one of three different 2LK blocks according to the results of the checks. I can explain more on demand, but it really is only a WIP snapshot.
