+Al_Nafuur Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 new binaries in my first post and in PlusStore. changes: Send score to the PlusROM High Score Club (needs PlusROM enabled emulator or device) Moving the joystick to the left on the title screen loads high score table from HSC backend (textkernel by @cd-w) Some code cleanups and improvements The scores sent by the WIP builds are only for testing and will be deleted in the HSC database when the final version of 1942 is released. If you see this logo on the titlescreen your emulator or hardware supports PlusROM functions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Al_Nafuur Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The 1942 arcade guidebook ? maybe a good start for a boxart? Or does anyone have a better suggestion? Possibly someone with more artistic experience than me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Wow this latest bin is awesome . I admit that I hadn't played this for quite some time (life/work have me pretty busy these days). The game plays extremely well, and it looks and sounds great too. Only had time for one game and by the looks of my score (458,358) I need some more practice. Hats off to everyone involved with this gem.

+sramirez2008 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Found more time to play today and I was able to roll the score (was at level 6 when it rolled) and then I completed all of the levels and the game started me back at level 32. I stopped playing when I reached this score. Don't know if you have a way to capture the amount of time, but I played for quite a while. It would be cool if the game could record the level as well our HS. Really...really digging this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like more this original flyer than cover of arcade guide book. I played till level (maybe) 15 and my high score was not uploaded. Maybe my cart had an issue?

devwebcl Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 As we know, the Pow that gives three airplanes makes the game harder because they behave as only one (by P/M constraint?). Maybe it could be a customizable option that kind of Pow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no collision detection for the side fighters right now. We need a similar NUSIZ detection like for the missile0 and the enemy plane copies. 4 hours ago, devwebcl said: Maybe it could be a customizable option that kind of Pow. You can recognize the Power-Ups by the colors. The light gray one is for the side fighters. Just avoid them, if you don't like them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Gave it a quick run. Latest changes check out. Amazing how mush polish you can get from an additional sfx. Like the game-over w/stats screen.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I have updated the binary in my first post and in PlusStore again, because I just found and removed a bug in the scoring system. Mostly the player got to many points for shooting down an enemy. All future scores will be much lower than the current scores in the online HSC database. So I just deleted all scores. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
