Igor Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 We've got the Lynx Jam 2021 stickers now and will be making stickers for the 2022 game jam too. The stickers are just a little extra people can purchase to show support for our game jams. 😎  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 As promised here is a template that can be used to get your game entry going... ag-lnx-game-template.zip   It requires the release version of CC65 (https://github.com/cc65/cc65/releases/tag/V2.19) as well as sprpck (https://github.com/42Bastian/sprpck). The support scripts assume either macOS or Linux as your OS, but you should be able to adapt to Windows fairly easily.  There's an assumption that you're familiar with C and Makefiles.  This is a work-in-progress template and I plan to ditch TGI in the future, but for now we have to use parts of CC65 TGI library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 @peekb have you got an idea for your game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Here's a quick WIP screenshot. Mostly just getting artwork done for the room still. I've got 3 TVs to choose from (CRT, Plasma and LED), there will be various 'WeeMotes' to choose from too, then it's game on with WeeTennis! Try to survive a game without smashing the TV with a flying controller! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look that one up, sounds fun! @Fadest shared a fun mock up too (on discord - https://discord.gg/SnDrdJTkUk)   I've decided to go for a more fun looking floor (using GIMP's plasma effect) and a plain looking wall. Think this makes it look nicer IMO. The TV/Mote/You selection is all done now so I can start on the actual gameplay. Looking forward to seeing how my meta-controls turn out. Also changed the name to Wee Paddle since I'm not really making a tennis game.   4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAtAtari Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) After taking a long break from programming, I'm back in it and hoping to get something worked up for this Jam. Â I'm having problems getting "make" to work correctly. Once this is resolved, I hope to make some serious progress! I've already got most of my graphics done, so maybe I'll have time to get this coded up. Â If anyone cares to have a look at that problem, I've asked about it on my old Journal topic.

OldAtAtari Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 That problem is sorted out now. Thank you, @obschan and @MichelS! So I've finally got a picture on the screen. Onwards and upwards! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least use tan, and is that person a robot or something?) I understand that would also change the color of the speakers too but then again, it would be a welcome change. Nice graphics though!

The wall was aqua before and the floor was grey, I thought I'd make the floor a bit more fun and the wall a bit boring so not to distract from the action. I'll see if there are enough colours in the palette to change things up, as @OldAtAtari said this is work in progress still. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that I am only 14 years old (but I am a 6502 assembly coder) I’ve wanted a lynx since forever but since I own a 7800 (and am aware that the screen isn’t great) I’m not getting one (yet).  I still think that it looks great only having 16 colors.  Edit: I’ve been reading your documentary on the lynx and it is quite helpful! But WOW! If the 7800 looks so much better hardware wise than the NES, the same goes for the 7800 going to the lynx. I’m baffled at why it didn’t sell better.  Edit: How much did it sell again?
