Well, right now i've got my data set up like this:
;ENEMY EQUATES (pour utiliser avec ix)
MECHANT_SPRITE = 0
MECHANT_X = 1
MECHANT_XOFF = 2
MECHANT_Y = 3
MECHANT_YOFF = 4
MECHANT_XVEL = 5
MECHANT_YVEL = 6
MECHANT_HP = 7
MECHANT_SIZE = 8
liste_de_mechants:
; .db # sprite, mechantX, mechantXOff, mechantY, mechantYOff, xVel, yVel, HP
; m1 S X XO Y YO XV YV HP
.db $5, 12, 0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 1
; m2
.db $0, 6, 2, 4, 0, -1, 1, 1
; m3
.db $0, 4, 3, 3, 1, -3, 1, 1 ; carré
; m4
.db $4, 7, 4, 4, 1, -1, -1, 1 ; sorte d'oeil
; m5
.db $0, 6, 5, 4, 4, 0, 2, 5
nombreMechants:
.db 5
...and modify those values each frame. I realize that if i add in a lot of enemies later on, loading them all at once will slow the game down quite a bit (though it'd have to be a LOT of enemies). When an enemy is killed, i just shift all enemies below it up one. Basically, i'm curious how you store and process your data, for example whether it's worthwhile to keep track of offscreen enemies or remove them from the list. I think giving the map the ability to create (spawn) enemies would make the map routine much more powerful would give you code to easily reuse in other places, for example if you want a boss to be able to toss out enemies at you or something.
