Almost done with Computer Space


Kiwi

690 views

I made a path to both Original and Deluxe version. Both works perfectly, thankfully. I guess that bracket } for the color placement function was the main reason why Computer Space crashed.

 

All it needed are the UFO explosion sound effect along with the flash that goes along with it, and ship hit sound effect. Ship turn effect sounds like a telephone so I'll fix that. Most of the sound effect sounds alright. The missile sound effect and the thrust sounds the best I think. The ship engine noise, maybe. I'll play with the sound effect some more tomorrow.

 

And the reason it is almost done is that the game size is close to 32KB, like 67 bytes close. I kinda feel like I have a ton left to do. I managed to build the credit screen. I removed the lowercase font to both the titlescreen and gamescreen font to fit in the credit screen. I've also remove the punctuations []{}/=+- from the game screen font to be added to the project to get more space to wrap this game up. Here's the credit screen.

I coded

fill_vram(0x1a60,0x80,32);fill_vram(0x1a80,0x81,32);fill_vram(0x1aa0,0x82,32);fill_vram(0x1ac0,0x83,64);put_frame(Crater,22,22,2,2);put_frame(Crater,16,22,2,2);put_frame(Crater,7,22,2,2);put_char(3,20,0x88);put_char(14,20,0x88);put_char(24,20,0x88);x=25;y=15;for (i=0;i<32;i++){put_char(x,y,0x60+i);y++;if(y==23){x++,y=15;}}print_at(0,4,"  THIS GAME IS A DEDICATION TO  N.BUSHWELL, T.DABNEY & AL ALCORN");//////////////00000000111111112222222233333333pause();

I may put more on this screen. I also don't feel comfortable putting my real name on the cartright. Well there's always more room for credits in the instruction book :D.

 

I am now compiling the game with maximum allocs per node(the needle hangs right from Normal) with option code size selected, Is should get 200-500 KB back. It take hours doing this so that's why it is a good time to get the sounds completed. Also, now it is a good time for me to get some sleep, since I have work tomorrow morning.

 

Oh I forgot I had planet Earth for the credit screen. I'll have that fix tomorrow.
