Yes, you have to use the same color gradient in both banks but maybe placing the tiles in reverse order could work as well, blue to black and black to blue? The gradient should be on tile basis though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, moreover the screen split forces you to arrange the code to work partially on the isr and partially outside so it is a problem when your tasks last multiple frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I haven't worked a lot on this for the last month, but here is a video of the current state and the cartridge file so you can try it yourself. Note that shooting doesn't do anything except drawing some lines. battleground8.bin 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then I am amazed at how fast the lines are being drawn. I assume everything is precalculated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elia Spallanzani fdt Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 The rotation of solids is strange but it is a good idea, because it masks the lack of perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
