jwierer's Blog - 7800 Pac-man Construction Set- Editing Graphics

RSS Bot · June 19, 2009

Finally got around to adding the functionality to edit the graphics. For now it's just a fixed sized "tile" editor, but it does work so now you can change most aspects of the Pac-man series of games for the 7800. The only other thing I thought would be novel would be changing the number of start lives, but I am not sure I want to go through the effort of identifying where that is done.

You can assign "viewing" colors for the 2 bits (4 colors) for the tile editor. You can assign those colors to either the left or right mouse bottons. Double clicking sets a pixel (2 bits) on the tile editor. Copy and paste works so you can use the clipboard on another tile. I may attempt something more adaptive, but I will settle for funcitional for now. So for now this is what the graphics editor looks like.
