Yeah Spencer(basically the C and Assembly master) is making it with Jim_e(another one of those elusives masters). Wabbitemu (in my eyes) is already leaps and bounds ahead of PindurTI even in its beta.
hmmm wow I guess I just haven't been keeping up with it. Well let us see how Wabbitemu handles this. I will edit this post with the screenshot after I try it.

EDIT: The other one was animating both tiles because there was a problem in the tilemapper but now I fixed it and optimize the loop a little bit more and it runs at 75 FPS now!
Anyways I found out that it moves at 73 FPS so I would suggest capping your framerate at 4-46 FPS if you want to get smooth animation and not grayscale like animation.
Oh yeah and nevermind Multiple frame animation will not be possible. You will only be able to do it by the number of frames you set. So for example:
If you pick 3 frame animation then for all the animated frames you need 3 frames and for the non-animated ones you need 1 frame. If you pick 4 frame animation then you will need 4 frames for all the animations and 1 for non-animated and so on.
[ot]ek your avatar is awesome :thumb: Did you edit it yourself?? because if you did then that's d*** good editing. And if you did edit it yourself what editor did you use? [/ot]
Now on topic. Awesome man I have to try this game out. Any chance you will port it to assembly??
mmmm thanks dinhotheone now I am sad. I lost my gamegear and I can't play Sonic anymore Anyways I love Sonic and I love Mario. To me they are both great great games. Although I liked Sonic on Genisis better because the level backgrounds moved and they had that one industrial level with all the suction elevators. Sonic was the best. And NBA Jam.
@Fallen_Ghost: No no no it isn't just PTI greyscale. I am using Jim_e's same map but with animation. The grayscale effect is caused by flipping a black and white 8x8 tile back and forth. I should have made a better example. Secondly yes yes code is coming I just have to clean it up a little bit and optimize. Trust me I am going to keep this fully opensource.
@bfr: Wooo cowboy hold up. Grayscale is supported. As I said it is just flipping the black and white tile which is causing the greyscale effect. Trust me I will post a better example later. Also size for the animation only took about I would say 30 lines of code. Jim_e did a lot of good work and that included making his mapper easily moddable. That's why I love it.
Anything else you gyus would like to see in a tilemapper?? I can't think of anything past just animation, but maybe you guys can.
After a quick hack of about 10 minutes I made support for animation in the tilemapper. It is variable animation which means you can have 1 frame for some tiles and 2-infinity frames for animated tiles. I show this in the screenshot by making a black and white tile for the one area and keeping the brick sprite for the other. So there is only one animated tile in this screenshot. I will later add support for multiple frame animations so you can have 2 frame, and 5 frame, and w/e all in one tilemap.
As I said this was a quick hack so I will optimize it and implement the stuff above before releasing the source code.(And embarassing myself with it lol).
Well for your non viewing pleasure , because PTI grayscale screenshot taking sucks.
Yeah but the basic shell looked faster then most and I liked the idea of running several programs in one from it. Oh well glad to here about PyroEdit though.
Yeah exactly that's what I thought . That stuff would take a lot of code to add into the shell. So for now I am sticking with input routines(for homescreen and graphscreen), grayscale routines, link routines, and sound routines. And of course the standard black and white routines. There will also be routines for non-animated and animated smoothscrolling tilemaps that support variable scrolling.

lol that raycaster screenshot looks amazing.
far past what I would expect. Great job on this game man.
