I'm at my phone now, so I may be wrong, but I think the movement was done on a character basis. If you have room I'd add midsteps. It's only a visual thing, as it should not change any logic, simply draw the character movement in two steps, but might look terrific.

Do you have a map file of the game?

I came here to say exactly the same. 256+ bytes can make a difference!

I love this small demo! I several times toyed with the idea of this kind of game too, but never actually started anything. Never decided if using text mode (dynamic char redefinition, good speed, but few colors - mixing modes means losing characters) or hires, but considering a disk-based game, ther...

Great! A new game!!!! Thank you so much

Indeed

This one was a really mammoth project... as if a vertical scrolling shmup in groud/air/space was not enough!

The technical demos are impressive with a relatively usable vertical scroll in HIRES, which is not something easy to do at all!

The problem here, I think, is that I doubt Wurdle existed as anything more than a set of experiments, failed attempts and small ideas of different approaches and game mechanics. Putting all that together with a story will be a nightmare. But maybe I missed some info here.. OType, on the other hand, ...

Thank you so much! I will pass the info

So, Jasmin owners are wanted for testing - there will be reward! I need help to find if this problem is only with my Jasmin or it occurs with other Jasmin controllers too. Attached are all images used for tests! Hi iss. I came to this old thread because a friend has a Jasmin drive and would like to...

This is getting most impressive...

I like the fade routine... are you loading the graphics directly from disk (with unpacking, etc.)? I wonder if it could be speed up a bit (just curious )

It is nice to hear you are still working on this... and how you are improving this game is incredible!

I am glad you are also experimenting with the Twilighte mask idea... I guess it works much better for big graphics, or does it also do a fair job for small sprites?

You did it again!!! Thanks for this new production to Bieno and the people of Commodore Plus.

Rax, you rock! Congratulations!

You never know... there are many bored fanboys around

Now seriously, it is really annoying. I did notice the forum down for an instant, but it went back to normal a minute later.

That looks very nice! I wonder if some semi-graphics could be used instead of the default ROM character set. Maybe defining some patterns to aid in the visuals as you did with the background galaxies and planets. Also dynamic redefinition could add animations or things like that. Awesome demo, congr...
