It's definitely variable. It technically doesn't scroll, it just plots based on a tilemap offset in bc, so the incrementation could easily be changed. No idea whether or not I'll have animated tiles. In fact, scrolling by 2 pixels on the tilemap, but only rotating the background once gives an intere...

Update: I've made some optimizations, and cut the routine down to 450,000 CC's giving it a framerate of about 13 fps. The speed increase is a bit noticable in this pic. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/snowman_hater/SCREEN-3.gif Special thanks to dwedit, since i'm using the splash from bubble...

you that looks pretty sweet. I am not an expert on Donkey Kong but doesn't it have physics, and if it does will this be a physics engine?? I won't have anything as far as acceleration goes, but I will definitely play with the falling rate to make it somewhat realistic. Any sort of heavy calculation...

Erm, it will have the DK country level-sets, but will look more like DK Land for the GB, since it's in monochrome, and [to my knowledge] the SNES doesn't have a z80

Ok, I'm working with papersnowman on a new project now, donkey kong. It will be a tilemapped side-scroller. I have written the scrolling engine so far. It masks the tilemapped foreground on top of a rotating background. I will later release the engine so it can be used by anyone. http://i170.photobu...

instead of putting 2 nop's between setting the key group and reading from the key pad, use a 1-byte instruction that takes like 7 t-states.

erm, not really that ingenious, it's actually pretty space-consuming. The map is 216 bytes, so I could be more space-effiecient if i really felt like it. And to Floodkiller: It doesn't fall as fast now, i fixed that.

DigiTan: well, basically, yeah, a 4x4 tilemap, with only 2 tiles: blocks (1) and spaces (0). So to check for collision on a particular action (moving or rotating), it simulates action, and sees if the outcome contains any 2's, if so, this means that there is collision and the action is invalid, and ...

ok, I really wanna be done with this project so i can get on with my life, so tell me any and every thing I should put into this (aside from link play) so I never have to deal with this program again.

Erm, I guess I'll add that to 1.2.
I als just realized how screwy/buggy the highscores system is in this version, that will be fixed too. :/

Note: Still looking for background code.

Ok, here's a DL link, I hope you guys like it

yeah, that tilemap looks way better than the crap i made. hope it turns out well!!

Note: refresh if you don't see the pic in my first post. :| I would have put this in the graphics section, because it is technically graphics, but I decided not to, because it is coding, not sprites. So here's what I need. I need 22 different routines that will animate the tetris background. The 2 a...

Hey, I made a tetris game, check it out.

so, hows this progressing? Will we see any screenies (or is snowman_hater working on this with you)?

Not anymore, it is just Halifax now, although I will be eager to see how it turns out.
