 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. |

As long as the game logic isn't too onerous, Volhout probably knows more about that, I think that will potentially be a possibility, if it'll run ok on a VGA, I would think it'll be possible to run on a standard Mite, maybe with a slightly reduced screen update rate, but hopefully usable. :-) Regards Kevin. |

I will look at it, when I am at Home. If you use just tile movement are the Steps 24 Pixel ? 'no comment |

Yes, 24 pixels And the player is only 1 sprite, not really walking... So it is very primitive. But it was made to prove that we understand the information in the amiga source material. Volhout Edited 2023-09-26 22:11 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hi VegiPete, I tried your demo on the pico, and I think CMM2 is to far off. I will study it's algorithms to see if it is of benefit to us. Thank you for offering. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

I have converted Volhout code, provided in a zip file a few posts back, to run on an SPI Serial LCD, using Peters new Framebuffer Copy in the background. It's not at all bad, :-) frame rates look to be great, certainly a excellent start and definately usable on a LCD, at the moment. Great work Peter, Volhout and Martin. :-) Video of it working. This is running at 252Mhz on a ST7789_320 LCD display. Regards, Kevin. |

Looks great ... I will test tomorrow, if you can use -16 or -8 as X Coordinate for the Tiles.. The walking can stop or change direction at a full tile but the animation would be 8 Pixel (1 Subtile) to keep it smoother :-) Edited 2023-09-27 02:37 by Martin H. 'no comment |

Kevin Is it easy to post the complete program and files so I can try it on the parallel display Thanks |

Hi Peter, This is Volhouts zip with a new bas file added "petsciiLCD.bas". You first need to go to graphics directory and load all the ***_csub.bas and hit.csub files into the library, then run either Volhout VGA version pet8.bas or the LCD version petsciiLCD.bas the changes were actually very minor. petrobotlcd.zip Regards, Kevin. |

Can you try the new LIBRARY DISK SAVE command? PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Hi Lizby, Yes just tried that and it does work, saved the library out, then deleted it and then loaded it back in, worked fine. :-) Regards Kevin. |

And can you post it? PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

Hi Lizby, It's in the same directory as the .bas files, petscii.lib it appears you have to do the load it manually, I tried it in the program and it said it was not allowed, presumably a space limit problem. petrobotLCD.zip Regards, Kevin. |

No, the issue is that when you run a program it builds an index of subroutines including in the library. If you tried to load a library in a program that list would be wrong. However, if the library is just data you can load it into a flash slot using the new FLASH DISK LOAD command and access the data via direct addressing |

Only a minor update to previous package (not much time tonight): player is walking. put this file in the folder where "pet8.bas" resides. then run "pet9.bas" Volhout pet9.zip Edited 2023-09-27 06:46 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Ok, I got pet9 working on the LCD. Looks great. Thanks Martin, thanks Volhout, thanks Bleep, thanks Peter. I got to walk the guy around the building, but was blocked at the door. Is there a trick (passkey available) or is this just as far as it's gotten? I personally have no problem with scrolling one tile at a time, but I have no experience with these PC games--was a working man when they rolled out, so never spent the time to develop the skills needed.

Harm, fun to see the sprite running araund the map and to see how it interacts with the Background ... top.. just an Idea: It is possible to use negative values in the Sprite compressed Command if a part of the Sprite is still on the Screen. so you can start painting the Tiles -16 or -8 Pixel from the left so if you use stx or sty as an offset (subtile X and subtile y) with the values -16,-8,0,8,16 you can get the 8 pixel wide scrolling Sprite compressed sprite_index%(playersp+playermv),xs+stx,ys+sty good job ... cheers Martin Edited 2023-09-27 16:39 by Martin H.
