 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Case insensitive controlls are no big deal by using Ucase$ or Lcase$, which doesn't affect the Cursor Keys. Changing the "toggle music" key also. A great suggestion, I'm sure Volhout can incorporate that in the next version. Edited 2023-11-13 16:45 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Hi Mark, Yes, that can be done. Both 1/ and 2/. That would be an individual version for you personally then. The intend of this development was to make a game true to the original, but... written in basic, not C++ and compiled, or assembly. And the controls are described in the original games user manual. Best regards, Volhout Edited 2023-11-13 21:16 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Here is a version with a working trash compactor, and some other bug fixes. Also the rollerbot walks (rolls) faster (as true to the original) and fires faster. Known bugs: when attacked by 2 or more robots at the same time, you can walk away from your death.... OOOPS ... pet24a.zip Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

hmm How do I get the TC to work? If I pull a chair, a crate or myself into it, it does nothing. I noticed that things , that you are moving disapear when they stand in the doorway and the Door closes.. in Dos Version the Door is blocked  Edited 2023-11-13 22:11 by Martin H. 'no comment |

@Martin, - chair in door: fixed - game_end music: fixed - trash compactor: only sprites (overlay) implemented now, and atm player is excluded. (easy change, but I though this was a nice twist.. you can outrun a chasing hoverbot into the TC, run to the end, you will not be harmed, but the bot is crushed.. I will investigate changes. Problem: chair=tile showing chair with floor element (blue). hard to use as sprite to overlay. May need chair with magenta background. Same for each other moveable item (chair (4 rotations), canister, box open, box closed, small box open, small box closed, hocker) or we need to accept that floor element is also copied into the trash compactor. I will look into the NES controller changes. Looks good, will try with controller soon on PicoGameVGA Volhout Edited 2023-11-14 04:22 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

The movement in the Startmenu is still a bit tricky, but that's also the case with Game*Mite at the moment.(Something on my ToDo-List) While you're at it, change the flash slot from 4 to 3. With the new RC17 that has just been released,flash slot 4 no longer exists. Edited 2023-11-14 04:20 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Hi Harm, I have made a couple of small changes, that gets the time taken, just below 100mS on my device, if they are of any use. Diff of pet24a.bas 66a67 > spn=0 547,548c548,549 < x=xs+xn*24 < y=ys+yn*24 --- > ' x=xs+xn*24 > ' y=ys+yn*24 550,551c551,556 < spn=Asc(Mid$(lv$(yp+yn),xp+xn+1,1)) < Blit memory tile_index(spn),x,y --- > spn=Peek(byte(lva+(yp+yn)*129)+xp+xn+1) > ' Print spn, > Blit memory tile_index(spn),xs+xn*24,ys+yn*24 > ' spn=Asc(Mid$(lv$(yp+yn),xp+xn+1,1)) > ' Print spn > ' Blit memory tile_index(spn),x,y 1282,1284c1287,1293 < Local til < til=Asc(Mid$(lv$(y),x+1,1)) < get_ta = Asc(Mid$(ta$,til+1,1)) --- > ' Local til > spn=Peek(byte lva+y*129+x+1)+1 > get_ta=Peek(byte taa+spn) > ' Print get_ta, > ' til=Asc(Mid$(lv$(y),x+1,1)) > ' get_ta = Asc(Mid$(ta$,til+1,1)) > ' Print get_ta 1412a1422,1423 > lva=Peek(varaddr LV$()) > taa=Peek(varaddr TA$) Basically I have pre calculated the memory offset for the two arrays LV$ and TA$ into laa and taa, then modified the two subroutines writeworld_n and get_ta to use these memory addresses directly, rather than using string routines. It does make the code less readable, which is why I have left the original code commented out as a reference. pet24amod.bas.zip Hope this is useful. Regards Kevin. |

Hey folks, Loaded it onto my Game*Mite for the first time (I've been busy), WOW! Looks great and sounds great. I assume it is correct that there is "tearing" between the tiles when moving; it seems unlikely I would get tearing and others wouldn't ?

Hi Martin, OK, I hope I combined all good changes.... I am not overly impressed by the speed advance, there may be some 5ms improvement. Incidentally I hit over 100ms. But I implemented them never the less. I know from earlier experiments, when the loop time was around 20ms....it made a difference. Hi Tom, I do not run on the Game_Mite myself, so I have no conclusion on the tearing. I may start playing on the game mite soon, a little more to add to the game play. 1 Robot (evilbot), and the magnet. And then it is cleaning up.... And maybe can add shifting chairs in the trash compacter... just for fun... On pet24b the NES controller on my PicoGameVGA does not work. In the startup menu I can press UP/DOWN and START, but in the game it does not work. Volhout pet24b.zip P.S. Martin , maybe the parts that deal with GPIO (i.e. NES controller) could be changed to use GPIO pins, not pin numbers. Since some may run this on different RP2040 boards.

It wasn't me, it was Kevin  You just missed one of my changes change Do 'player input through keyboard, clearing buffer, check loop time k$="":Text 290,0,Right$("00"+Str$(Timer,3,0),3) Do tmp$=Inkey$ If tmp$<>"" Then k$=tmp$ 'keep last valid key Loop Until Timer>h_beat Timer =0 If Game_Mite And k$="" Then k$=c2k$() to Do 'player input through keyboard, clearing buffer, check loop time k$="":Text 290,0,Right$("00"+Str$(Timer,3,0),3) Do tmp$=Inkey$ If tmp$<>"" Then k$=tmp$ 'keep last valid key Loop Until Timer>h_beat Timer =0 If k$="" Then k$=c2k$() Function "c2k$()" (the translation of Controller Input to Keypress) should now allways be called, if there is no Keypress.

Thank, got it... Volhout P.S. Martin, would it be possible to move the key check (either Game_Mite or nesPG1) inside the h_beat key check loop. In that case it would not burden the game loop time. Edited 2023-11-14 18:46 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

sure, should be something like Do tmp$=Inkey$ If tmp$<>"" Then k$=tmp$ 'keep last valid key If k$="" Then k$=c2k$() Loop Until Timer>h_beat Timer =0 I will check it this afternoon. Wouldn't it be more clever if we not reset the (Hardware)Timer, but store its value and calculate with it, so you can Display the overall Playtime at the End of the Game?

Hi Martin, Not reset the timer... Agreed, I had the same idea, just did not implement it. Currently high distraction from work... a day should have 26 hours, not 24.... Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Martin/Kevin, If you aren't seeing tearing then what CPUSPEED are you using ? Best wishes, Tom Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |
