heh Anyway, let's get the discussion back to Rampart.

So, I like the graphics updates! I think you did a great work over there

I'm also thinking of trying to make this in 68k basic, but I'm not sure if it will work...

I'm not sure if 68k BASIC would cut it simply because of speed. This game looks fairly action oriented. C or newprog would probably do nicely though.

There you go. 8x8 sprites and tiles. The little outline effects on the blocks adds a huge depth to the graphics. You don't need to use multiple tiles for each type of block. Simply draw lines on the outside of the blocks. You gotta write a little algorithm for this. At the beginning of each room it runs the algorithm and then draws the tiles and the lines to the back buffer. Every step you copy the back buffer to the screen buffer and draw the sprites again. Then you can clear the screen and it loops back trough your code.

Edit: Here are the hex codes for them:
Captain animation:
[3C6A3C183C5A2424] frame 1
[3C6A3C187E3C2424] frame 2

Spikes:
[0000000000245AC9] facing up (there are commands that allow you to flip them around)

Tiles:
[8811224488112244] (You can clearly see this hex code represents a pattern of evenly spaced lines)

Flip gravity lines:
[000000FF00000000] or [00000000FF000000]
Have fun!

EDIT: fixed a mistake I made!

Invert them to be white on black (or simply NOT the hex string)
Edit: oops forgot the checkpoint. From memory and to hex:
[000018202018005A]

Thank you. You might wanna check these hex codes. I converted the sprites by hand.

Sooooo... My engine was made REALLY slow due to a ton of "OR" statements I added, so no screenies yet

However, I have some new levels and Kenoi's graphics implemented, so I will get a screenie in soon (If I can get one in before TI-Concours)
