LatchKeyKid Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Well, I'd say you succeeded! About how many notes is that tune before it repeats? I'm curious how much space such a catchy intro (tune and programming) takes up as it's well worth it compared with other additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music data itself is 64 bytes, where each byte contains the notes for both voices combined (voice 0 the lower 4 bits and voice 1 the upper 4 bits). And the code to play the music is 98 bytes. So that's 162 bytes all together, which means that the intro music uses almost 4% of the total 4K game code. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatchKeyKid Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 That's amazing for the catchyness of the tune with the intro! And that's only 4% of the smaller 4k cart too which makes it even more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dionoid Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 (edited) Yesterday I got my hands on a real nice Aristona CRT Color Television from the late '70s, which turns out to support PAL 50Hz only. So that means I can't play any of my PAL 60Hz homebrew games on this TV 😐 Because I still want to play Amoeba Jump on this retro TV, I decided to adapt the latest version 1.3 of Amoeba Jump to PAL 50Hz. In case anyone is interested, this version can be downloaded here. Enjoy! Edited May 4 by Dionoid updated link 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Very cool about the television, and awesome on updating the game with a proper 50hz PAL version! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. King Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Been playing Amoeba Jump recently and it is a very fun game. It plays great on the 2600 or 7800 and it looks cool on a CRT tv. I was able to manage 12k points last time I played and just thinking about now make me want to play it again. Thank you Dionoid. I will very likely pick it up again when the rom is sold through the VCS store depending on the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO playing on a CRT is still the best, but not everyone has (or wants?) a classic setup at home. Anyway, great to you enjoy one of my games! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
