So far I'm missing all the bonuses for the game. I need them to implement into game

You can't miss all the bonuses for the game, i gave you all the assets.

Added new version. Now when you run out of life, there is some sort of gamr over with the right music. To restart, just push fire button. When you end level, you'll hear temple music.

STILL some bugs to get rid. On them

note: the music should start from pattern 0 only in the beginning of the game, then after every death from pattern 2. But i tested the build and it feels really like the arcade! just there is one enemy in all level but i know that will be fixed

The only enemy is used for test end game, and game restart. I have to fix c ollisions boundig box since the new rygars' frames alignement.

Someone can point me how to implement some sort of timer for rygars' game time? It's worth using ciaa timing, or there is a simplier way?

Just count VBLs.

Just done now. With simple counter, into vb all is fine. Just one thing I'm using wait routine to sincronize buffer switch, but it a waste of time for CPU. If I put my main into VB interrupt, can I get rid of this wait?

[dlfrsilver]

ok, i have done some tests, and it appears that only by changing 1 byte, i can get a completely different tile animations.

Well, i'm quite afraid we will need someone fluent in z80, able to reverse how the tile system works. otherwise it's going to be awful to map by hand the whole thing.

I have also noticed some level parts, while on 16x16 tiles, are ajusted as 8x8 tiles once mapped on screen !

Added Timer and first test on Head enemy

nice red monster, but right at the start of the level?

all test done on standard a1200 emulation 2mb chip 128mb fast ram

1) one bug (maybe) - if you fall into the pit, for the second time ( just jump again in the pit after Rygar respawns),
Rygar comes not back, screen moves to start of level and still no Rygar respawn.

2) game gives not back allocated chip mem. look at workbench memory info - start the game, and just quit ( mouse-button).
look now at memory on workbench display.
I can do this maybe 4 times - workbench says 256k chip mem free - when i start now, i get gfx corruption.

3) monster can not kill me, no collision - but i can kill the monsters.

4) monsters run behind the first little stone ( level start )

5) in the end room, Rygar just stops for maybe 10 seconds, then he runs again, leaving end room - level restarts.

6) little item is missing, after you destroy the stone at start of the level. ( i think there was a little item in previous versions)

just reporting, I hope it will help - good work

I just tried this on my A600. It loads, I see background graphics (looking *lovely*), the HUD, music plays...

But nothing happens. Do I need to do something to make the demo start???

Thanks for this incredible Report. Some features are disabled to test the game. I'll tackle all this list!

Not really, as I've seen people 1 credit-completing the game in front of me in a real machine

But for a home port, just leave the game at free play all the time. Everyone knows winners don't use continues

01) This is a real bug

02) I know it, I'll work on that.

03) Collision disabled for test

04) Features not implemented yet.

05) Yes, I keep rygar steady to simulate coin op end Level.

06) I'm wating final items gfx to add it. Routine is ready
