Atarian7 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 What about being able to jump through the enemies in mid air without getting killed? Did you get rid of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slightly changed graphics and music but help to improve would be appreciated! This looks great @Silvio Mogno, great job! I know that Mike Haas aka @iesposta had put together a very good demo of a Q*Bert enhanced with amazing graphics, and he also happens to be a sound wizard also (he did the amazing sounds for Mappy & Wizard of Wor Arcade) so he might be able to provide some pointers for graphics and sounds. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a bug. Keep it squashed. What you have is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 This new Qbert version looks excellent. I would suggest having classic mode and optional new features mode. The frozen squares are a cool (ugh!) Idea, but it would be nice to have the option to just play by normal Qbert rules too. Also, every time I type Qbert, it gets auto corrected to Albert! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add the possibility to choose in the main menu when the game will be complete. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybot67 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Thank you for releasing the bin, it's a fantastic version of Q*Bert with awesome extras! Just curious how long it took you to program it and if you were planning on any further changes. I think it plays great as is. I will now retire my Parker Bros version. Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again The asm code (the hardest one) took about 20 hours of coding. The C code took a little more hours but after implementing kernel interface the remaining was quite straightforward.

Zoyx Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Excellent! Really like the core game so far. Looking forward to the final finishes. It looks like you only have one object (other than q*bert) on the screen at a time. Will that change? I like the freeze dude, but make that an option. Have the main version be as true to the original Q*bert as possible. I'd love to see the freeze guy in another variation. That seems it would add a fun new dynamic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there isn't only a enemy at time. In theory we could have 6 enemies at the same time. Setting to higher difficulty (when I'll add an options menu) will lead to an insanely hard game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianC Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Looks awesome! It looks like the rainbow block lock (for lack of better words) from FHMC Q*Bert is in this version, but with Coily having to be led to the blocks instead of Q*Bertha?

alfredtdk Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Great game. I have a suggestion if the graphics are changed from the Parker version. Qbert's eyes, a white pixel in the eyeballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
