SpiceWare's Blog - resizable ball

RSS Bot · March 30, 2017

Kernel revisions panned out - the ball object can now be resized and recolored.

The draw missile routines haven't been updated yet to use the ball as a last resort, so to test the resizing I've temporarily modified the stars to have different widths. I also added some missiles that fly around in a formation just below the enemy formation.

I see some stray graphics every once in a while that I'll need to track down, such as the 2 purplish dots at the bottom-left of the station:

I suspect a player is getting reused before it should be as some shifting of the datastream usage has occurred.

ROM requires a Harmony Cart or Stella 5.0.0-pre6 or newer.
