Piotr D. Kaczorowski Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm trying to find out what was said about RM800XL, but I spoke with a few people who told me that the information about the project was introduced between competitions, and they took a break and left.

Marius Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Although DEMOS might not be something that people can 'play' with, the DEMOS are usually my favorite part. I love POKEY chiptunes and amazing GFX. It is always nice to see what our little Atari is capable of. Even the invitations of Silly Venture are usually a piece of art. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I agree. For me it's all about pushing the chipset further. Seeing the Rewind and Alley dog demos released last summer blew me away and of course this spurs coders on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You achieved some very nice effects over time. If you need a musician, I can make contact to Buddy. Next sillyventure is about to start in a few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) my entry: I am still expanding the 3d engine. so latest here it is now "scene" based... and has interpolating camera flight... unfortunatly I did not had time to create proper scenes for the party but at the moment the engine supports 256 vertices and 256 faces in a 3d scene... all in realtime, no fakes... so stay tuned when proper bounding box clipping and 3d clipping is implemented. there is where the fun starts. PS: I was uncreative for writing a proper scrolltext so I let ChatGPT write a text about Silly Venture in max. 768 chars. dsr_Atari3d_pal_sillyventure2023se.zip Edited August 20, 2023 by Heaven/TQA 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGB1718 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 12 hours ago, MrFish said: Cool! XEX? Yes it is an XEX, have to admit it's takes about 1 minute to initialize needs about 320K and U1M type PORTB bank addressing. Essentially it's page flipping, but the plot and draw routines are written in C (cc65) and there's VB and DLI routines in assembler to animate it all. The drawing of the stars is done on about 72 screens which is why it takes a while to initialize. If using with SDX, use the 'X' command when running it. Just did it for fun drawstar.xex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 how does standard plain old port b banking used in almost all memory upgrades differ that it would require a u1m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 You can take a snap shot of the memory after initialization is complete and then do a straight copy or load in of it with your executable minus the initializer and it's use of time.

That works Obviously the SCREENS.IMG file needs to be on the same drive/directory as the .XEX Now for the moving starfield as @MrFish suggested 😬 DRAWSTAR.XEX SCREENS.IMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
