rsiddall Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Figured I'd see if I could get it working and then maybe move it over to the multi-sprite kernel. Anyhoo...here's what I have so far. EDIT: Titlescreen/Last version can be found in first post (here.)

rsiddall Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Is there another way to write: if collision(playfield,player0) then P0posX = startP0x:P0posY = startP0y For some reason, I can't get it to work in the multisprite kernel if I'm using more than player0 and player1 sprites. So, no way to get my toasters and toast to return to starting positions once they've hit the playfield. THIS Is it possible to flicker sprites in the standard kernel? If so, would someone be able to provide an example? Or add additional sprites (not through NUSIZ) to fill more of the space with toasters/toast. Added music to the latest version.

rsiddall Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Ehhh...flickering just didn't look nice (to me). Figured out another solution to keep speed and "solid" look. New reversion attached! Updated toasters, too.

Not sure if that's my code or something else? I've got a version (haven't posted it here, yet) that is running 10-12% slower without a hitch. It seems to happen when you get down past a certain percentage. Current version has fire button to 'reset' and 'select' button to change P1 toast color. Have another version that uses the fire button to change P0 toast color and 'select' button to change P1 toast color. I'm working on setting up the color/bw switch to turn sound on/off. Lots of tweaks planned - need to get what I think most people would enjoy/ease of use. Also looking to replace music with flapping sound (like Joust)...just need a good sound effect/sound.

rsiddall Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) I've skipped a few revisions to get, what I think, the best set-up for this screensaver. Up on the joystick (Joy0) will change some of the toast colors. Down on the joystick (Joy0) will change the rest of the toast colors. This allows for several color combinations. Pressing the fire button will reset the screensaver (colors and toasters will revert to original starting positions). In this version, I have dropped the song in favor of flapping wings. This can be turned off with the B/W switch and turned back on with the Color switch. Added a hi-res title screen, and toasters have been slowed down 30%. 10-04-21 Flying-ToastersUPDATEDrev9.bin Edited September 4, 2021 by rsiddall 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/324353-flying-toasters-screensaver/#findComment-4899555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go much slower...animation is totally hosed after a certain percentage. Looks like toasters shuffling (rather than flying).
