Re: Top down racer

Awesome work.

Needs some throttle steering to add to the fun.

And should the pedestrians turn red when hit?

Re: UCC2014: The Uzebox Code Challenge is back!

Don't make extra time on my behalf. I am one of those people that will keep improving and working on the engine till 3 days before the end and then rush the game logic to finish it. I have enough back end stuff done now that I could make a decent game, but I know there is still 20% + speed gains to ...

OH - dear lord. I'm going to have to push to finish by September.

Doesn't time creep away from you.

Re: Tempest is possible

OK - the tear on the side of the frame looks like I am taking too long every 16th scan line when I have to read the CRC/Stuff. No problems as I have 80 or so "WAIT" clocks there. I must have just calculated wrong. If I get that WDR thing working it will be easy to fix. The uSD card diagona...

Real hardware needs 17 clocks between an OUT and an IN to get valid data.

The emulator lets you get away with 16

Re: Tempest is possible

Try deleting the last 200 or so lines of ZERO. I remember someone had a similar problem with my HEX file for VectorGame. I had a look at the HEX file with some formula in a spreadsheet. It did not exceed 64K, but those last few 100 lines are over writing memory addresses. It looks like it is taking ...

Re: Tempest is possible

Something quite funny. When I compile in eclipse, it tells me I have 9K of used flash. which is impossible as "renderline" is 24K by itself. I know from summing the different bits I have 33K so I guess eclipse does something wrong when it is adding in the fixed memory location sections. Fu...

Re: Tempest is possible

On real hardware the webs wont look right. I am not parsing the FAT yet to find the file. I am cheating by hard coding the SD-E,ulated address of the file aaaaaaaa.uzm into the C code. In a couple of days I should have the MMC / FAT stuff sorted so it looks OK on real hardware. If the real hardware ...

Re: game console project/HQVGA timing parameters

I thought VGA had a minimum V resolution of 480 and anything lower res than that had to be sum kind of line double/triple. So for your 160 V resolution you would just do the normal 640x480 timing of syncs and then have the dot clock 2.66 times longer and display each row 3 times. I don't think there...
