vhzc Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Hi Guys. I'm new here and I want to share a game that I am developing. It has 28 screens and is a 16k game. Is practically finished, I only have some room for corrections/debug. I don't have a Harmony cart, so I would really appreciate if somebody could test this version on real hardware. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMClj5B85Vg knightguy2018-10-28.bin <- Change the score system, now the score you receive when you leave a room is based both in the number of lives and the time. knightguy2018-10-14.bin <- Corrects bug in screen 16 knightguy2018-10-07b.bin <- No music if Difficulty is set in A knightguy2018-10-07.bin knightguy2018-10-06.bin Regards from Chile Edited October 28, 2018 by vhzc 10 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/283728-knight-guy-in-low-res-world-platformer-for-atari-2600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremiahK Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Welcome to AtariAge! All I have to say is WOW. That is an impressive game you have there! I have to run to work in a few, but I will definitely be testing this out on my HarmonyCart. I have a few different versions of Atari 2600's I will be testing it on, as well. The only thing I can say about possible improvements is to make the game song a little longer, at least the main one you hear most of the time. It gets a little bit repetitive after a minute or so. If you don't have room to do this, you could also add an option to mute the music, perhaps using one of the difficulty switches. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/283728-knight-guy-in-low-res-world-platformer-for-atari-2600/#findComment-4128903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Thanks for your suggestion, the last version I added to the post (2018-10-07b) now includes the option to mute the music if Left Difficulty is set to A 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/283728-knight-guy-in-low-res-world-platformer-for-atari-2600/#findComment-4128951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

monzamess Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It runs fine on my NTSC light sixer. I couldn't get very far.

+Karl G Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It looks pretty good. It's a matter of personal taste, but I'd prefer the knight to be a different color than the playfield, even if it's something subtle like a dark gray. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/283728-knight-guy-in-low-res-world-platformer-for-atari-2600/#findComment-4129038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolcrab Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I followed this game on the zero page home-brew channel, very fun. Did you make it in batari Basic? if so would you be open to sharing the code? I'm curious as to how you did some of the things. Also if its bB then it should be in that forum. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/283728-knight-guy-in-low-res-world-platformer-for-atari-2600/#findComment-4131201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhzc Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yes, I made it in Batari Basic, but for now I am not sharing the code, it is just my second game and I started with batari just two or three months ago, so surely it's not a pretty code. But I can tell you how I did the things that are you curious about.

JeremiahK Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Playtested on both of my 4-switch consoles, no issues. I like this game, the difficulty ramps nicely, and it's not too hard at first.

Heroes & Shadows Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 How did you manage to squeeze so many rooms in 16k including code and graphics? From what i can tell your using Asymmetrical playfields, which use 1k of data each(192[number of scanlines is playfield height]*3[pf0,pf1,pf2]*2[left side, right side]). Doing the math, your a genius at making all those room fit in such a tight space!

vhzc Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) There is 28 screens/rooms in the game, but only 12 playfields, some playfilelds are simply re utilized without change and the other elements are modified, other are changed drawing PFHLines at the start of the level. One of the bugs that I had to correct was the right moment to use PFHlines, if I use incorrectly then the screen can jitter when the collision routine is on.

+Karl G Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 By default, there are only 11 playfield changes on the visible screen using bB, and only PF1 and PF2 are used (PF0 is a special case, and can only be used for screen borders). The playfield graphics for each screen should only take up 44 bytes each.

My understanding is there are {scanline} .byte statements for each of the playfield registers per {side}, per {room}. Also do you plan on doing a full release with box, manual, cart?

+Karl G Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 You don't have to update the values of the PF registers if the playfield doesn't change on a particular line. The same playfield pixels will be displayed over and over again until the values in the PF registers is updated again. If this happens every 16 scanlines, then you can read from data tables that are significantly smaller than 192 entries each.

devwebcl Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) I think there is a small bug between these two screens: I lose a life although there is no clear enemy that may attack. by the way, I think the original presentation screen was better, it has a medieval style.

vhzc Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I think there is a small bug between these two screens: I lose a life although there is no clear enemy that may attack. by the way, I think the original presentation screen was better, it has a medieval style. Hi. Thanks for locate and let me know about that bug. I updated the original post with a new release that corrects it. About the presentation, there was a practical reason for the change: the original medieval-like title uses two sprites of 8x73 pixels and the new presentation uses only one sprite of 7x73.

Heroes & Shadows Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Any plans to upgrade it to a 32k game, with more screens? It wouldn't cost anything to add another 16k of rom if your planning on selling it https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=949. Quote: Legacy 2600 Board: Supports 4K, 8K Atari (F8), 16K Atari (F6), and 32K Atari (F4) bankswitching methods. Melody Board: Supports all known bankswitching methods including SARA on-board RAM. Melody boards can be reprogrammed in the future if you'd like to order a new game or the author makes an update to the binary you send us.
