F-Zero Progress Thread

I wonder how fast the black-and-white version runs...

[calc84maniac]

Hmm... I haven't updated that one in a while. Though, I need to combine them into the same program (maybe have them switch with a button press for now )

[Silver Shadow]

How about using the XTOn button for this?

[DJ Omnimaga]

XTON or mode might be a good idea, altough MODE might be a bit too close from the accelerate key

But I love how the game still runs fast even if it's the same mode 7 quality than F-Zero 68k (for speed reasons, F-Zero 68k mode 7 resolution was halved and scaled 2x so it looks as blocky as on a z80 model, if not more blocky on the TI-89)


Btw, calc84maniac, have you thought about not displaying the cars when they are too far or just display a dot or very tiny line? For some reasons when the cars were far away it looked a bit weird because the sprite size versus the road far away looked like it was either a giant car or that it moved at like 10 Km/h

I would like it as kevin put it, but it still looks nice as it is now.

[metagross111]

actually, i wouldn't concentrate on that problem too much. with several cars going on the track, i think it will look just fine.

[calc84maniac]

Though, it would be perfectly simple to implement his idea, since I already have several (read: three) sizes for ship sprites...

Looking real good. Can't wait for the beta.

I like your avatar, calc84maniac

[calc84maniac]

Thanks! I actually made that a while ago (back when the ship was uber-big )...

[metagross111]

lol, i can tell.

ALSO, 400TH POST!

[DJ Omnimaga]

yeah new avatar is awesome

[metagross111]

so, acceleration in yet?

[DJ Omnimaga]

By the way when going fast will you slip when turning (if you hold down accelerate button)?

Yeah that seems like it would be a good idea. Make it a little more challenging
