Memoirs of an X register - Screen Tests II!

RSS Bot · July 2, 2006

Greetings all,

Am nearing the final revision of the playfield layout that I want. I thought I would paste a screenshot so that everyone here could see what I am working on. I have posted two shots, one with NTSC emulation, and one without, it's giving me a reference as to what I need to correct, graphics-wise.

(yes, I am aware of the hanging pixel on the bottom invaders, I am using it as a special reference right now for a bounding box).

<-- with NTSC emulation

<-- without NTSC emulation

t05scrtest2.zip <-- source code to screen test.

Some further notes:

I will be using players/missiles from this point on, to provide all the non-scrolling elements (this includes all the background elements, player missiles, the breakout ball, and any additional player missile states not covered here.. I will be needing to do some serious creative thinking to get all this working together....

but knowing that:

I need a gun for the player

I need a gun for the enemies (maybe a limit of two shooting at once.)

I need a player for the breakout ball when it enters breakout mode

at the very least,

what do i have left over to draw background elements? (thinking)
