Assembloids Lynx
Hi everyone interested,
while we are at the middle of creating our entry for the 30 years Lynx compo organized by atarigamer.com, I thought it might be nice to share some details on tools or concepts we use.
I will happily answer questions but some replies may take a while during the compo
We work on a rendition of Assembloids, a fast-paced action puzzler. The concept was originally developed by Photonstorm for the flash game 'Quartet'
and we ported it to C64 and Atari2600. The origi
Since a number of people asked about our music driver and its development process,
I will share a couple of details here.

that would match actual notes the closest.
For such tools I always use Python.
This formular gives you the proper frequency of a note n relative to the frequency of a'4.
freq=2**(1/12.0))**(n-49)*a4
I wrote a routine that tries all feasible combinations of
