Re: Tutorial - How to make Frogs and Flies!

The only thing I'd request is a slightly larger radius on the lick The jumping has been improved in the attached version and I think it feels a lot better, what do you think? It does take a little practice but the game itself is so simplistic I want to keep some element of skill for someone willing...

Re: Alter Ego

Hey Paul, awesome to see you around again! Is 'Fake Wall' done with sprites? It is a manual ram tile modification after the kernel has blit the sprite. So your player actually gets blit over that tile like normal, then the foreground function in the vsync callback runs through each ram_tiles_restore...

Re: Uzenet

So I've been slacking on getting anything done for quite a while. I did end up making a master server that is more or less working but I shot myself in the foot by trying to make it do everything and the complexity got out of hand and made me lazy. I am working on breaking it apart into separate pro...

Re: ESP8266 Wifi Module for $5

I added a wiki entry for ESP8266 under the hardware section it would be good if you add in anything you want or know. If you see sections that should exist I think we should just put them in there as a placeholder for now so that we know what the final document should contain and get that informatio...

Re: ESP8266 Wifi Module for $5

I am working on something tomorrow for sure. I will have to scrounge up a 3.3v regulator before I can implement your schematic. I tested 5v to VCC and CH_PD using the Arduino and let it sit for a day like that, it still works. I rigged a 8266 up to Uzebox tonight using just jumpers at 5v but no dice...

Re: ESP8266 Wifi Module for $5

Exactly, it's the TIMER1_COMPA_vect interrupt in uzeboxVideoEnginewCore.s Ah good deal. I bet I asked that before. I can't remember anything, but if I end up using something I remember it forever, it's weird. I've tested speed up to 115200, but at those speed I sometime randomly loose bytes. I susp...

Re: ESP8266 Wifi Module for $5

I didn't think that could be done without losing data, very cool Alec. This will be some fun experimenting..when I have any free time. I think this is pretty nice too since we are using cycles that don't take away from the main program. Some of the games are very tight on cycles. I don't understand ...

Re: Raspberry Pi?

When I see Quake 3 running on the Pi, it really raises the bar for the amount of work for a game to be impressive for the system it's running on . I don't think it would be too difficult to convert current Uzebox games to Pi by replacing tile,sprite,sound effect,music operations,etc with something n...

Re: Tempest is possible

Nice, it sounds like pretty good progress to me. The hard part I find in making games: you get the first 90% of the work done, then it's a bit of a grind to the end, getting the other 90% done. I usually like the journey more than the destination, but the finished product here is going to kick @ss!

Re: My Garden - Harvest Moon fan game for Uzebox

Great idea there Harty :D Pretty ambitious game to do and it will be great for sure! Definitely possible but there will be some interesting design choices you will have to make no doubt. Are you planning on traditional scrolling or maybe whole screen scrolling like zelda 1 or any other details you a...
