homerhomer Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I was thinking about what game I should make and I though 1942 would be really cool.

diogoandrei Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 * Looking into fixing the flicker madness, doesn't look like i'm going to get 6 planes on the field * My collisioin detect is BROKEN, for some reason I can't get it working * I'm having a hard time with sounds and music Hello there, I liked your project - I was always a fan of 1942! About the collision (and also flickering), maybe you could take a look at this topic. Once I had a strange problem with flickering and collision (which was not working) and it was only related to drawscreen. In that topic you will also find some codes by RevEng which were really helpful for me. About the music, I can help you with that in the future. For now I am helping Philsan on the Rocky Horror Show title screen theme (plus I am really busy this time of the year). Once I have the time I would definitely be able to give some helping hand. Anyway... the new batari Basic is on the way =P Keep the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Just now, Pat Brady said: Okay, I'll get started converting the title song first, then take a stab at the in-game music. I had a look at Paul Slocum's Music Kit and it might not be that easy to convert the data to the bB format. Alternatively I might try and include the Slocum player. Therefor I need your "song.h" file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
