Looks great ! you seem to have miss a couple of pixels here and there, so here are the full sheets, for some strange reason, when I save in png, it doesn't retain the wide pixels.. I'm sure it's an easy fix for you. Feel free to use any of them spritesheets.zip Edited August 18, 2019 by TIX Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291619-gosub-wip/page/5/#findComment-4331687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Fixed the sprites. There's these dumb problems I keep having with color defining and transparency and stuff I don't understand, but I eventually get it all figured out somehow. gosub2019august18b.zip Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291619-gosub-wip/page/5/#findComment-4331869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Added level 20. In the finished game, level 21 is where the shark will start appearing. I still plan to have 30 levels and an ending. I also made a couple of small changes. See if you can spot them. gosub2019august19.zip Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291619-gosub-wip/page/5/#findComment-4331969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 The octopus looks rather strange when he has one eye in a frame. And the only difference between the subs is a couple of pixels of added black.

Oh, you missed the fin on the sub's tower, also there seems to be some pixels missing from the shark (open jaws frame).

TIX Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Spot on ! I love it I wonder if we can work something out for the big boss to be less blocky.. I don't know the specifics.. is he a sprite ? what are the dimensions ?

+atari2600land Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 The big boss is a banner. He is 24x24 pixels big. If you think he's blocky now, you should have seen him before I tried to tidy it up a little.

+atari2600land Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 OK, I can usually get the sprites to work, but I admit defeat this time. How can I get these sprites in the Atari 7800 with blue being the background color? I've tried everything.

RevEng Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Not sure where you're running into trouble. The blue became the background by default with the graphic I grabbed from your post. I was expecting I might have to play around with the color indexes in the incgraphic comand, but nope. The relevant commands... incgraphic octopusboss1a.png P3C1=octopusboss1a_color1 P3C2=octopusboss1a_color2 P3C3=octopusboss1a_color3 [stuff] plotsprite octopusboss1a 3 40 90 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291619-gosub-wip/page/5/#findComment-4333510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 There. I figured it out. Don't ask me how. I don't know. I think it has something to do with the way the color map was laid out. I used GIMP to reorder the colors. The octopus pngs that are used in the game are octopusboss1aa-4aa. gosub2019august20.zip 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/291619-gosub-wip/page/5/#findComment-4333620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
