Yes - Have for a while thought something where the blue background was a world you could walk through would be cool. It just would not ever get done if left up to me :) Back on topic. Count the squares that are non blue/black in this picture. You can get to a max of 128 before you run out of RAM. Ba...

I wonder if it would be possible to do something like Limbo with a fancy background that changes as you move? It might end up being really huge because of the background, but no worries, I have a 32GB SD card :lol: the 400 megabyte data file of T2K would be a half hour long movie of webs rotating a...

The blue background and the white vectors no problem. The red/green parts of the screen would probably have to be simplified to use repeating patterns. Blue background is "free" and takes no RAM. Any thing that is not blue/black uses up RAM. There is enough RAM to make 14% of the tiles on the screen...

It also looks from the photo you are using lead free solder. SnPb is much much easier for a beginer/learner to use.

I think I might have said this before. Get a flux pen. Get some cotton buds (q-tips) and isopropyl alcohol Use good quality solder. I have a preference for Multicore brand with 362 flux for general purpose work/rework. Get some quality solder braid. I use Goot. I'd recommend just a roll of 3mm for t...

See if the video mode you already want to use implements

SetRenderingParameters();

For an example of it being used check out Chess4Uzebox

It sets the number of visible renderlines to something very small when it wants to have more CPU time for "thinking" about its next moves.

28Mhz but 95% of its time is spent outputting the NTSC video.

Which means you have about as many FREE clock cycles as a 1.5 to 2Mhz CPU.

If you don't out put video or greatly reduce the number of scanlines you could do it.

I have been working more on the comments as well as working on a youtube video explaining the T2K video mode. It's pretty hard talking about the video mode without really going off the deep and and making the content difficult to follow for the average person. I have also gotten back into the RLE mo...

Any feedback on the code/comments for T2K?

Just trying to decide if I should do a full youtube video explaining how it works, but if no one is interested I probably won't bother.

Yes - I think the Uzebox could do that in a 160x240x4Bpp mode and match the CPC version fine.

The Uzebox could possibly even do better.

No I did not love Barbarian enough to add it to my list of UB projects I wish to finish.
