skywaffle Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hello everyone, I was blowing the dust off of some old projects and figured I would share a binary of my work in progress for people to try out on an emulator or LTO. There are a few screens to explore through, and most platforming elements work pretty well. I meant to release this a long time ago, but just got sidetracked with other things. The controls are as follows: holding button 0 (top left), then pressing left or right will allow the character to walk slowly pressing left or right runs holding button 1 (bottom left and right buttons) and then pressing left or right will jump in that direction pressing up jumps vertically, and climb ledges above the player while running, pressing button 1 will perform a longer jump pressing down at a ledge will climb down holding button 1 while performing a jump, the character will grab a ledge if available holding button 1 while climbing down will allow the character to hold the ledge rather than dropping. persia24.rom 7 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/194608-prince-of-persia-for-intv-is-crazyness/page/2/#findComment-4485675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Fantastic work! Thanks for sharing! The jump is not working for me for some reason. I'm playing it with jzintv. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/194608-prince-of-persia-for-intv-is-crazyness/page/2/#findComment-4485679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywaffle Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Are you using the default control scheme for jzintv? for me, button 0 is the right shift, and 1 is the right Alt key.

+cmadruga Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I figured it out, thanks! This is an impressive proof of concept. You know, the way you hide sprites seamlessly behind pillars and walls is really interesting. Do you think something similar could be done in perspective? Like one of those Filmation games from Ultimate.

+Steve Jones Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 wow the movement and animation is amazing, I used to play this back in the 90s on my first PC and you have really captured it, please keep going on this (I know it's only one of a bunch of your projects but they all look great!) 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/194608-prince-of-persia-for-intv-is-crazyness/page/2/#findComment-4485760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Coincidentally this just popped up on facebook, I think they are spying on me but it’s still very interesting, POP movement is based on developer’s younger brother running and jumping in a parking lot haha Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/194608-prince-of-persia-for-intv-is-crazyness/page/2/#findComment-4485822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayXambeR Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Fantastic work! The gameplay is very good even with the Intellivision disc. I have only played it on jzintv but I will try to test it on a real hardware with a CC3. One little remark: the character doesn't seem to advance a little bit when he is jumping in place (vertical). So, perhaps, it could be more difficult to be correctly positioned to go upstairs or downstairs sometimes? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/194608-prince-of-persia-for-intv-is-crazyness/page/2/#findComment-4485988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like one of those Filmation games from Ultimate. Thank you. I think you could do the same with an isometric game like those, it may require two sprites for masking to help keep the edges defined though, but I would think you could apply the same type of technique. I may have to look into that more.

When I get more time to invest on this, I will try to more accurately replicate some of the controls. Pretty much all of the controls were done just from my memory of the game, so I am sure there are a lot of other differences as well in terms of jumping distance, movement speed, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/194608-prince-of-persia-for-intv-is-crazyness/page/2/#findComment-4486112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be an variable which needs to be explicitly initialized, but is relying on it being 0 by the emulator.
