Of course. But I currently have almost no free time and spend most of my time away from home, so I have to be very careful what I allow myself to get distracted with. There are so many projects I’d like to do but not the time. I expect life to change in the fall. I should be much closer to home with more free time. But we’ll see.

Giles N Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) This one’s really good. If you put in yellow for white, you have a color-option for explosion. ????? Edited March 19, 2020 by Giles N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually modest, but I can tell you that there is nothing so accurate about other 8-bit versions. I think it will be an interesting surprise, however you will have to be patient because I'm currently working on another project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the update, what do you think if the option to choose the color of the vehicle to be played was included? That way we could choose the original orange, the new blue and the classic red of the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would then have to be 3 separate hack versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles N Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) But alas! (Dark hollow-sounding panting voice): Obigone was wise to not tell you the truth! Me (shouts): he told me enough! He told you murdered the 7800-sprite-generator. Booming voice: search your feelings, you know thats not true!! (Pause): I... am.... the designer of the 7800-sprite-generator and built into it a safety-device - only graphic-artists mastering the 2:1 ratio per pixel when using more than three colours, will stand a chance against the dark side of the oldschool. Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH THATS IMPOSSIBLE (drops myself into nearst abyssal-style cosmic-scale shaft....)

Giles N Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here’s my latest take at it. But looking forward to your version: (Problems with hot-spot for frame 2 and 3) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how you deal with the explosion and set-palette problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
