+Atarius Maximus Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Here's a "vector" hack of Defender. The game is still a total flicker-fest, I had to paste together several screenshots to make the one below. Normal screenshots seem to miss half of what's on the screen at any given time. defendervector.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hey I dig it! Defender was actually one of my projects after my first 'vector' hack but I wasn't successful with what I wanted to do.. then thought.. "why not make it vector too?", But I never did it! It's cool to see it being done though. I like how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Good Job!! It turned out really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 If you used Dasm to create it, somehow it ends up being 12 bytes too large (so it won't work with Stella). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARI TROLL Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Absolutely love this one! Another one that should have been vector from the get go! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I would buy this if it was released as a cart. It is incredible!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 OK, I'm showing my ignorance here but what exactly is "Vector"? -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 MY rough translation, is just the outline of the object. Like the ship, well you see it, but nothing in the middle of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 OK, I'm showing my ignorance here but what exactly is "Vector"? -Tim Vector graphics are drawn by a line from point A to point B(Like connect the dot). These hacks are not real Vector Graphics, just graphics made in the vector style. A good example of real vector graphics is Asteroids or Tempest in the arcade or the Vectrex home system. I did the Space Invaders Vector hack just to see what it would look like, and it has grown from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Yep. I believe Neo was the first to use the vectors on haks. (May be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living Room Arcade Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) 20 years later I just saw this! Nice! If you are emulating in Stella, use hotkeys Alt+p to enable phosphor effect, the flicker is less.
