Multi Sprite Kernel wall detection?

[waderain]

I've seen this question in past posts but there doesn't seem to be a resolution to the problem.

 

The code I generally use doesn't work and I'm assuming because the playfield is flipped. This works pretty well for standard games but what would the Y calculation be for the multi sprite kernel?

 

if !joy0right then left

temp3 = (player0x - 14)/4 : temp4 = (player0y - 6)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then down

temp3 = (player0x - 14)/4 : temp4 = (player0y - 1)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then down

player0x = player0x + 1

left

if !joy0left then down

temp3 = (player0x - 18)/4 : temp4 = (player0y - 6)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then down

temp3 = (player0x - 18)/4 : temp4 = (player0y - 1)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then down

player0x = player0x - 1

down

if !joy0down then up

temp3 = (player0x - 17)/4 : temp4 = (player0y + 1)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then movedone

temp3 = (player0x - 15)/4 : temp4 = (player0y + 1)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then movedone

player0y = player0y + 1

up

if !joy0up then movedone

temp3 = (player0x - 17)/4 : temp4 = (player0y - 7)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then movedone

temp3 = (player0x - 15)/4 : temp4 = (player0y - 7)/8

if pfread(temp3, temp4) then movedone

player0y = player0y - 1

movedone

any ideas?

Not sure if the link below will help. RT and others have done some work, but from what I can gather it's because there is no pfpixel to use a reference point. Maybe someone else can help with more documentation as I'm still trying to figure something out as well.

I thought just reversing the Y calculation would work but it doesn't. Even though the playfield is flipped it seems the pfread doesn't flip. So if you have your Player0y at 80, to the Y pfread it thinks it at 2...I think., at least that's what it seems like it's doing.

 

I'll keep playing with it but it's starting to make me pull my hair out.

pfread requires an assembly add on in the multisprite kernel.

 

Here is info on the official stuff:

Bogax also made his own pfread funcitons for multi sprite:

Neither option has worked for me. My hunch is that smarted brains could get an example working with bogaxs code.

 

 

I've figured out how to use the ball as the collision object for the player0 sprite. I've provided a proof of concept that collides with walls without visible rebound and also slides against walls.
