This is really awesome, I like the animation at the beginning :)

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

EDIT: can you kill enemies?

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though you can't kill enemies and there are not very many :( GREAT JOB!!! ;D

Depends on what you mean by "enemies." Soldiers that run around and try to bump into you you can kill, but not the box guns (not yet) :)

And I didn't include enemy soldiers in this demo because I think I broke something and the enemy engine kinda glitches now :(

I think the opening shifts the title screen over 1 pixel too far -- I saw that on the very right was a white line with gray bits ;)

other than that, looks very seamless!  Great work so far :)

Nope, the pic's only 95x64. SC doesn't support the rightmost column :(

Looks nice Deep THought! I'm glad this is alive again. :)

I agree about the character being hard to see over gray background, though. It should probably have an outline or change color depending of the background.

Sourcecoder?  Is it edited in Hex or by Image?  Because if its by image you can just drag and drop the image into TiConnect and it will send :)

Er, this is strange that SC doesn't support the rightmost column. Definitively something you have to report to Kerm, because it can be used even in BASIC. ImageStudio had a similar problem actually.

It's an image, and I do use it directly :)

I guess that might be a bug for Kerm.

I wonder.. maybe just draw a 1 pixel wide, 64 pixel tall rectangle after scrolling in the image?  It would remove the white line of doom and make it look slightly better :)

True. If possible I'd rather just use the pic though.

well, the rectangle wouldn't add that much size to your overall code, and would probably only chop 1000 cycles from your title screen RenderLoop.

Eh, it's already at the max speed moving two pixels each frame :P

Also, it seems SC does support the 96th column. Maybe Axe doesn't? I don't see why it wouldn't though...

Not much, but as promised:

Contra Pre-Alpha Demo v0.01 (4-11-11)



Download

DISCUSS: http://ourl.ca/7770/196692#new

Nice work but I noticed that the Konami Code: up up down down left right left right B A START

on calc : up up down down left right left right Alpha 2nd Enter

does not give you 30 lives like on the NES can you please add that feature?

I think it's too far off for him to be worryin' about cheat codes  ::)

EDIT: and DT, if you're using TIOS pics, it only supports up to 95 pixels wide ;)

and, if you're just typing in hex equates by hand instead as data in the source, for every 12th byte, just add one to the hex number ;)

I have a problem with X=96 and Y=64 in Axe too.

Did you try to play it? It's much harder when playing it rather than watching IMO. But as I've said, I think that's part of the fun: "WHERE AM I? XD"

The pics themselves support 96 cols, so I'm still not sure where it got lost.
