Do they still sell the AVR Dragon? It has ISP, JTAG and single wire debug all in one.

Mine was $70 AUD a few years back, which is probably £30 or so.

The other thing I was thinking about was something to save a bunch of clocks on empty or repetitive tiles, and instead - rendering pixels using fill instructions (similar to paul's idea of filling instructions for maps). So say in my game, I have huge sections of screen that is empty and is just bl...

Looks good, Chris. But yeah... ouch on the flash count. I can see you doing a lot of work only to have to redo all your art assets when you run out of room further down the road. also when the sprites pass over the 0-index on the x axis Yes, it appears to wrap around and map him one tile lower. I ge...

That looks awesome! The transparent case is definitely the way to go.

I'll take 3!

hey lightfoot, It's good to see you're still keen on making Sonic. If you decide to use the fill instructions for your level data, I was thinking this would be one way to add slopes. Add another member to your bg struct and use the MSB for slope/flat. Then you can index into your slope array with th...

Sigh... some things that should probably be obvious just aren't to me.

There's no such pattern in the graphics or font used to create the game tiles. I can't comment on anything outside the emulator, although I don't recall anyone with the real thing mentioning what you are seeing. Also, it should run fine on v1.09 of the emulator. Some people have suggested it doesn't...

I see you've been giving this some thought :) I'm not sure I digested all that information fully, but here's my thoughts. I'll let the smart guys fill you in on SD access (although I believe it is incomplete as of now). I think the key to the Uzebox is to start small and build up. Sprite count limit...

I grew up on a Sega Mega Drive so my ultimate Goal is to build something "similar" and maybe even write a clone of Sonic :-p I think Sonic is definitely possible on the Uzebox. You'd have to make some compromises and it would be a Uzebox version of Sonic, but it would be fun and would pla...
