Adding an HUD will fill out the rest of the space nicely. Are the artifacts on screen emulator/screenshot glitches?

He does plan on adding a HUD, like the original. I also think he said somewhere that the artifacts are not in the program, but are screenshot glitches. Then again, I'm not exactly sure.

Correct, I'll be adding some HUD elements at the top and bottom, and the artifacts are just GIF glitches. I guess I could post this test program here if anyone wanted to download it just to see how it looks on their calculator?

I'd be down to run tests if you'd like.

Here's a quick progress screenshot of integrating the colour engine into the game

I know, right? It's just so fancy!

Looking good!

James, that's looking amazing. It's absolutely beautiful in color!

The shooting sprites are now finished, and I've also improved the functionality a little to more closely match the Team 17 original. Here you can see the machine gun (still with no wall collision/explosion animation), twin laser, flame arc, plasma rifle and flamethrower all in action in colour:



Whilst I was at it, I've updated the shooting sprites and functionality on the monochrome version to match as well. On the left are the old sprites from v2.1.0, and on the right are the updated sprites which are just scaled down and monochrome'd from their colour counterparts:
 


I guess these screenshots also show what the same level/section looks like in both the colour and monochrome versions (I'm yet to do the colour spaceship tiles)

Wow, that looks really good! Glad to see something done with the monocrome calcs!

Yeah, I really want to keep the monochrome version of AB alive. I'm not sure I'll develop much in the way of new games for the monochrome calculators, but never say never! There are a ton of games I wanted to make over the years but never got around to
