José Pereira Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Anyone knows any news of Out Run (or other Atlantis - Lost Classics..) And, by the way, in the past someone was doing (or intended) World Class Leaderboard. Who was he? Some screens, coding,... ? Greetings José Pereira.

Heaven/TQA Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wrathchild did some work on c64 ports like World Class Leaderboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fres Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hmmm. That would be quite a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjmann Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 OutRun is still being worked on. It's probably the most difficult game that we have been doing. But we haven't given up, it's just taking a bit to get it right. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings José Pereira. Wrathchild was working WCL. There is a thread about it here somewhere... Here is that binary that I got from there: WCL.zip Use any console key to switch back and forth from overhead to normal view.

Wrathchild Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi, The actual porting came together quite easily as once the screen drawing bits were remapped then the remainder, e.g. the calculations, uses the same code as the C64. In terms of the C64 vs Atari thread then timing the rendering of this view vs that of the C64 would give an indication of what benefit the faster CPU rate of the Atari can provide. What I liked about attempting this was not going for the obvious 'background colour is black' - see the thread Fake borders. José, feel free to ask any questions that will help you in your developments Regards, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Mark, don't tell me that this fake border thread is from 2003......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Kinda like the Douglas Adams line There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable I have an odd feeling that if I ever finish a game for the Atari then something bizarre might happen and I'll have to finish another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
