Okay, this is weird, but doesn't your background scrolling image imply that your ship is moving BACKWARDS firing at all the enemies? Haha, should it scroll down to imply you are moving towards them? :P

Either way, one of the sides is flying in reverse. This has always bothered me in shooters...

| One thing I saw a while back was side-scrolling. When you banked left or right, the background would shift sideways just a few pixels to give that parallaxing look to it. It would go pretty well with this background. |

Ello ppl.
I have some more enemies (more will be added tomorrow).
Anyway, added, a life power and some kamakazi enemies.
:P
More about the ammo power, it only lasts for 10 shots because it's quite a common drop not to mention, resource saving.
Will have a triple shot that lasts for about 5 shots.

hawt idea. I should add that  . thx. Now that I code more in an object oriented way (compared to when i wrote tetris ;o), adding lotsa cooler things is a huge time easier.
Still need to make a timer because the program obviously runs at different speeds with more objects.
I'm going to add health to enemies too, so that when I add levels, they'll be harder to killll.
Might add lil' object blurbs like when you get a life it says "1up", then disappears, or "100" when you kill enemy X or sumthin.
PROBABLY, the only limitation for this game is that i'm not using a clipping sprite routine and I'm not going back to fix meh drawing routines to fix that either atm.
thx for all the support. wouldn't be able to write free source games without encouragement  .
screeny: runs faster on calc

You would be fine just adding in vertical clipping, which is quite easy. It will make your screen seem a little larger. |

I think clipping has a different parameter list which would be a real pain switching the registers when my code was built around the non-clip (all the registers are holding tables, etc.). However, I think clipping is like really important, so i'll add that in the next 2 days. :D
>actually, vertical clipping is pretty easy? subtract ycor from top and bottom and find how much of the pic to draw ;o
how do i find out -3 < 0 in asm? i've never worked with signed numbers :[
ooh, i haz added new powerup called sentient help thingy. watch screeny and you'll know what it does (power up spawns increased by twice).
2nd screeny shows the more "luxurious" game over screen.
thx 4 all the support. i'm gonna to bed and work on this tomorrow <3.

Nope, it doesn't need any new information.

First you'd find if the y-position is negative or not. If it is, negate it and advance the sprite pointer that many rows. Shrink the height by the same amount of rows.
Code:
ld a,y-position
or a
jp m,handle_negative
If it's too far down, simply shrink the height a few rows.
Code:
ld a,y-position
add a,height
cp 65
jp nc,too_big
Take some screenshots with the new wabbitemu! Let's see some humongous animations

Erm, how do you take screenies with 1.0 wabbit? :o
and, JW, what does the "m" flag get set for?
i'll cite you in my documentation for clip help. thx.
got bottom clip to work. top does not.
i just cant do this clipping stuff.

Animated screenies:
press backspace, and it will ask you for a file to save to. Choose one, and it will start recording. Press backspace again to stop recording.
I don't think I know how to take still screenies, although I would imagine editing the .gif file to extract a frame would work. |

Okay, i finally got the lame clipping to work. my routines = ineffeicient but hey, it works.
only thing is that my collision detection routine = non signed, so as the ships come down your bullets will do absolutely nothing, but it won't be noticable, cuz your bullets cant reach the ship until they come down :D
pictures interlacing makes it look like badness. I must admit, it even looks better on my calc then this screeny because it doesn't have such a blur\interlacing of different pixels. lol

That looks really awesome.  The graphics and grayscale look really nice, and everything runs really smoothly.

Thanks. The game runs ALOT faster on the real calc. I'm going to have to slow it down on 84's..
Oh, yea, it's exclusive to the 84 series and 83SE, no 83plus or 73 :[
=>fixed a bug that caused the game over screen to lag badly ( i have the routine called "Draw lives" to draw the lvies at the end, but when you die you have no lives to draw.. so it loads 0 into register 'b' and does a backwards djnz, which was the problem.)
P.S plz post if you make a name for this game (you get credit, everyone who helps gets credit). oh and where do i get those cool fonts everyone does for their game menus? k thx.

Why is it not available on the 83+be or 73? Are you useing the extra ram pages or do you need the speed for the GS?
Oh and also you still need to fix the direction the background scrolls.

6mhz won't cut it. 15 mhz is a bit fast, but at 6 mhz, it'll be crawling.
I'll flip the scroll later today. Not in the mood atm 'cuz i'm lazy. |

Why drag the screen to the desktop of course!
It does indeed run great on the on TI-83+ SE. And you know what, you may have caught an interlacer bug for the gif capture. Does this look better?
