wow I got to admire you on this..

The intersection of Prophet 5 and Vic-20 users must be very small

Double buffering is a technique for creating smoother graphical animations. The general principle is that updates to an animation frame are written to an off-screen buffer. When the update is complete, the content of the off-screen buffer are displayed. For your application, I suggest you modify yo...

Excellent, I used to like to read this.

I would also take a look at Microsoft's "Visual Studio Code", it's a really great editor.

I'll have a listen on my real Vic into a Commodore monitor. Maybe we can compromise at 6...

PM sent.

btw, it could also be your TV, LCD TVs are not known for having the best sound. Try connecting to some powered speakers etc?

- the high-score music is very nice but it sounds kind of "schrabbelig" when more than 1 voice is playing at the same time. What is the volume you are playing this at? When using more than one voice you need to reduce the volumer-register to avoid this effect. Frogger'07 had this as well....

If you slow it down, you can see that yellow is used for the alternate colour so I don't think it's just a case of swapping the pixels around. The engines seem to straddle two char cells that use FG colour for the body, so I don't think you could swap the engine pixels to FG pixels and swap the colo...

Good work.

Tiny observation. On the spaceship intro with the flickering....

There are a couple of pixels flickering that shouldn't where the right engines meet the body. Can you tweak the image so that those pixels become part of the hull and thus don't flicker as it spoils the effect.

Awesome!

I like tlr's routine, seemed a bit simpler to me.

Also perhaps you can make the engines flicker on the spaceship on the intro screen - that would add a lot and should be fairly easy without doing the full animation? I've found that it's anything but. It'd take cycle-exact raster interrupts because the border colour has to be used. I really don't f...

I couldn't really see the cone release animation, maybe it happens to fast? Can you slow it down? For example in the Arcade, the ball travels nearly the full height of the screen in the time it takes for the gate to open and close. Also as mentioned, the player is 70% of the way through round 1 befo...

Good work.. I noticed that those spinning cones seem to come out a bit sooner/more often than the Arcade version? Also, a nice-to-have would be the small revolving-flap animation when they appear at the top that is on the Arcade. We are really talking about small polishing touches here though, it se...
