Uzebox Forums

The program reduces the source image colors to the Uzebox colors, breaks the image down into tiles and compares each of them to determine which are actually used by a tilemap and which are duplicate tiles. Then, it creates a reduced tileset (new tile ids) and creates the tilemaps from those tile ids...

I never did figure out how .act files worked or any of that. Gconvert is picky. I made this some years ago and I still use it. It outputs nicely formatted .inc files for graphics and has some other features too. It isn't picky about the png format other than the tileWidth and tileHeight being compat...

Thank you, this is awesome! I was thinking about making this game at some point. I'm very happy that somebody now is! I played the heck out of that game on the Atari 2600 way back in the day. I look forward to more posts about this.

This is a little off-topic... but it is cool to see a screenshot of the online emulator. That "toggle menu slide" probably needs to go though since it was a "feature" that would move everything to the side. I have been writing an update to the online gConvert. Would you like some...

Start more small and simple. Try making a Pong clone. For fun, make the ball a smiley-face which looks in whichever direction the ball is going.

Make one screen on Zelda 1 with enemies. That would teach you SO much. You can figure out scrolling and other stuff later.

Well, you'll need to know C. Learn about structs and memory management. My first Uzebox experiments was just moving Luigi on the screen (I decided to be different.) Move him and make sure the correct tilemap is drawn for each frame of movement. I use simple counters. Something like every gameloop in...

The map for Metroid is huge. You'll need to stream from SD or SPIRAM if you want to store it all. You won't likely get the same resolution as the NES but if you can adapt the maps you could make it work. https://nicksen782.net/UAM/APP_gconvert is a web app I built for graphics conversions. The tiles...

I did have a web-based version of inc2png. However, I didn't use it very often and didn't put it in the current online gconvert. I could though. Would you find use in that? The inc2png on Github probably works but it is an ancient precursor to what I currently have with the Online Gconvert. I'll upd...

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I last updated the online games list. I just added "Circuit Puzzle" from artcfox. (https://nicksen782.net/UAM/APP_emu/emu.php?gameid=275) If any other entries are missing or need to be updated then please let me know either in this thread or in a priv...

Awesome! A new Uzebox game!

I added a link to the online play into your wiki entry. (https://nicksen782.net/UAM/APP_emu/emu.php?gameid=275)

I look forward to playing this game some more! I would be interesting in you describing the technical portions of your game.
