Heaven/TQA Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 just a small intro we released at Silly venture 2022 SE... Atari XL/XE 64kb PAL single POKEY... that so called "Mega DYCP" Scroller was on my bucket list for ages when I first saw the PM DYCP and the rotating char one in Joyride by HARD. :) dsr_smack_my_candy_up_sv2022.zip 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Many of the DYCP you see use unrotated characters - this one is cool in that they're rotated to the relevant angle to their sine position. Is this done dynamically or are there multiple predeined character definitions just ready to be copied where needed? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this done dynamically or are there multiple predeined character definitions just ready to be copied where needed? dynamicly set are those soft sprites… the char data is pre rotated means 16 angles x 64 bytes = 1 kb per char x 26 = 26 kb total… no double buffering… 10 chars on screen = 120 chars of the 128… unrolled code for setting each char and copy data into it… can be optimised more to be honest but I run out of time… the one in Joyride has more angles but smaller chars. Mine are fitting into 3x4 chars…. not sure if bitmap mode would not be faster in the end 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BTW, the rotating font one in Joyride was a C64 conversion, the PM DYCP was my own. Drew the wave by hand, so that that I always have enough PMs for it on each line - that's why it's not a proper sine wave) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it seems Triace did too much game soundtracks… reminds me 7 Gates of Jambala on ST or other relaxed platformers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 @Heaven/TQA Great scroller and tune! SVSE 2022 sounded like a triumph. I was looking at the SVSE22 vid on Atarionline.pl and saw the GFX compo pics (see vid below). I am hoping at some stage they'll be available as XEX files. (I did have a look on the Demozoo SVSE 2022 area which looks like they'll be up soon perhaps) Would love to see this on my real hardware for example (Especially the image "Silly trip"https://demozoo.org/graphics/312155/): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
