Sonic: Work In Progress

[ZippyRedPlumber]

As previously stated in @Muddyfunster's recent topic, I've also been working on a Sonic game myself. As suggested by many in the 7800 community, I've decided to make a topic about this game I'm making. It's an action platformer with some form of space-like gravity gimmick.

(think Sonic Lost World, but less crappy.) It borrows some code from @Synthpopalooza's Sky Scraper game and a horizontal scrolling demo.

 

What's done: Graphics

 

Things to do: Add pokey support, amazing title screen with music using TIA arpeggios, Level/Playfield designs.

 

Below is the bas file, I'm currently new to the basic programming scene for both 2600 & 7800 so anyone with more expert knowledge like @RevEng please help decipher some of this, thanks

When you ask to help deciphering, is there a specific question or issue you have? Or did you just mean help along the way, as you develop the game and post questions in the future?

I'm assuming the code doesn't compile right now since you don't have all of the variables declared with dim - in particular you'll need to change the scroll related variables used near the bottom from what they were in the original code to the variables used in your new code.  

 

IIRC the scroll variables are using fixed point variables as well. So PlayerX I think was originally PlayX.PlayXf or something similar for example. Similar for the speed variables.
