+Propane13 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wow, I'm glad that I was completely wrong. I had thought for a moment that maybe Atari "got involved".

PacManPlus Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi Guys: Just an update: - Bonus Round completed (although I'd like to make the ending a little better than just switching back to the balloons): * You must hit the 'AA' Logo 16 times to finish the round. You get 100 points for each hit, and 5000 for completion. * If you die, the stage is over and you go back to the balloons. * For obvious reasons, the bonus round is only available if you select 'ALL' for the 'REFILL' option. - Clown graphics for the death and player 2 have been updated, thanks once again to Espire8! - HSC Support has been added: * IMPORTANT NOTE - The paddles have been moved to the 'Right' controller port. I found out the hard way that using the paddles and the HSC together crash the HSC. You have to use the joystick in the 'Left' controller port to enter initials. You can, however use the driving controller to enter initials if you are using them. * ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE - If you change the fourth byte of the HSC (the controller type byte) to anything greater than $01, the HSC crashes. Again, the paddles now use the 'Right' controller port from now on. What's left: - Sound - Bonus item that flies at the top of the screen - Safety Net Power Up (replaces 'G' power up) - Blank Lines sometimes appear in the middle of moving objects when using paddles. I have no idea what this is. Also, I have decided against the 'Cut Scenes' between rounds. I hope to make this a 'twitch' game like the original, and the cut scenes (IMHO) will break the flow of that. Let me know what you think!

PacManPlus Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi Guys! Attached is the latest WIP of Super Circus AtariAge. the following things have been added: - Bonus Item that flies at the top of the screen (it's very rare, though) - Safety Net powerup ('N') - 'Nicer' entry and exit of bonus round 'boss' - Changed colors of player 1 and 2 clowns (1 = blue, 2 = brown) To Do: - Sound Please let me know if the difficulty ramping seems ok, (there isn't much to do here, so I just made it gradually get faster quicker), and the play mechanichs are ok, etc. If you guys like it, all I have left is sound. I may try to add some sort of 'slowdown' for grabbing the Bonus Item. It actually looks like I'm running out of CPU time for code. I think it's because of the Paddles. Maria is ok, though. I've checked that through GroovyBee's utility. Scoring: Top Balloon - 30 points Center Balloon - 20 points Bottom Balloon - 10 points Clearing Top Row - 300 points Clearing Center Row - 200 points Clearing bottom Row - 100 points Catching a Power Up with the Teeter-Totter - 100 points Bonus Round 'Boss': - 50 points per hit - 500 points for hitting it 16 times without dying Top Bonus Item - 1000 points Successful Bounce - 1 point Let me know! Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/167421-super-circus-atariage-new-wip/page/6/#findComment-2105932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm guessing that nobody found any big issues? Or is nobody playing it? I really wish there was some sort of MIDI->Pokey data conversion program as I have the "Entry Of The Gladiators" MIDI file that I would like to use for the background music... I have looked up the file layout for MIDI, and I can probably write a conversion program for standard notes, but it would take just as long...

TrekMD Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Actually, I've tried it out and it has been great. I haven't seen any problems but I may not have played it enough to find any. I ran a search online for the pokey to midi conversion and there are some videos of how to do it but I don't know if that will help you.

If you can find the SID version there is there is SID2TIA. Then all you need to do is a TIA to POKEY converter. I'm not sure how much of the song you'll lose along the way .

Greg2600 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I think it's great, my only problem is I'm horrible at it! (and the original Circus). Was there any chance of animating the trampolines? Background music would hit the spot, too.

Trebor Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Bob, I haven't chimed in on this one for two reasons: 1. I've been busy with 'real life'. 2. (I thought) This game is practically unplayable for more than a few seconds with a joystick. I have been playing under MESS 0.139, EASY setting, and cannot believe how even on EASY this game was very difficult to play. So for the heck of it, I decided to try the HARD setting. To my surprise HARD was EASY. For some reason under MESS 0.139, the EASY setting plays as HARD and the HARD setting plays as EASY. I've have tried several sessions and the results always appears to be the case. Anyone else experiencing this under MESS?
