Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Could knock off around another 500 cycles from the sprite routines per frame but that would practically make no perceivable difference. No, and you could possibly introduce more bugs - it's plenty smooth enough already. Leave that for your next game in 10 years time :) Phffrghpfunny. I'd rather wri...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
nice, didn't notice the clash before but still plays smooth. Could knock off around another 500 cycles from the sprite routines per frame but that would practically make no perceivable difference. i don't much care for the flashing before a screen is shown. Even on a CRT it didn't look pleasing to ...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
I have to write it before I need an emergency dialysis: this game does not look like a piece of art.

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...
