Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
arukanoido.demo.1680.zip The game play seems to be sorted with this one. It's fast but not (really) unfair. It's just like the original. Everyone knows it, no-one ever got through it. Obstacles are 100pts now. For the love of novelty this version of the tape loader takes the apex at 6kbit/s but I d...

Re: Give me all your pocket money! (For tapes, that is.)
While I am a fan of physical releases, I'm not really a fan of tapes. Also, on the physical releases I own I still use the digital version (either in emulation or through SD2IEC-drive on the VIC). Everyone wants carts, aye? But anything that is a cool project and/or looks cool in the cupboard will ...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Made it to round 12. Sometimes one can see blocks just disappearing. That's the only bug left I can spot. The game is too slow at times which can be fixed. Didn't feel like ~15 minutes really.

Give me all your pocket money! (For tapes, that is.)
I have a couple of questions whose answers might spark some optimism. * Who wants tapes in the first place? Anyone? OK. * What do you want on them? * Who wants their own thing on tape (no matter what platform)? * What do you expect to get with an order? (What would make you feel right home, what wou...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
There's temptation to just plug in all levels, put the repo back online and to bugger off. The sensible part of the rest of my mind screams: "No tapes!".

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Yeah, personally I think a high-score saving or keyboard input is a luxury I can easily live without. Much prefer to see it released sooner. But… but… I can barely stop test-playing it anyway! :/ arukanoido.demo.1658.zip These tape files load at 5536 bits/s (PAL). Sadly not the right thing for dura...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Saving to disk would require a file selection, wouldn't it? I have no experience with saving scores.
Charset in action. (Press C in game on NTSC.)

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
We planned to bring on keyboard input. 8) I never understood why most Arcade-conversions go to the trouble of emulating the annoying high-score input by joystick which is just done this way on the Arcade-machines because they have no keyboard . By the way: Is the high-score table saved to disk? Pro...

Mostly running at 60fps unless the Disruption Mode with three balls comes up and/or it gets really fast.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Game intro got even worse but a couple of nasty details got sorted.

No. There might be some magic waiting here: https://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bu ... php?t=8733 but AFAIK things like the soft-scrolling trick are usually found by accident.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Not Guinness smooth but I got the headache already. It's still buggy. Such improvements are kinda side effect of code reviews.
Thanks!
