I see. Now all is fine. Frames converted, now i write code to animate Rygar!

Thanks for keeping us up to date "nobody" / "sandruzzo"

[sandruzzo]

Coding going well. Now rygar run on screen.

@Nobody

We need reverse rygars' frames

[Lonewolf10]

sandruzzo, can't you just flip them in-game? Just use a look-up table.

[kamelito]

well the shield will be a problem using flipping.

Ppaint? Dpaint?

[sandruzzo]

I can't do all..

[nobody]

Why would you want them reversed?
The arcade game just mirrors them I think.

Because with Amiga we can't mirror sprite.. If someone know how to do it..

[nobody]

It should be some code way to do it i can't imagine all amiga games to use double space for all sprites just for this.

I think so. Sprite Hw don't have this feature..

You will need to buffer all images, unless you're prepared to have slowdown when the character faces the "wrong" way and needs to be mirrored on the fly.

An easy way is to create an array of 256 bytes containing the mirror bytes, and after you've loaded the right facing images, read each byte, lookup the mirror byte and write them right to left into the space allocated for the left facing images.

Updated New rygars' source code. Still a lot of bug, but rygars' move, jump, and scrolling is on place.

Conpromise would be to split the sprite in half and store the lower half mirrored. That way you have to mirror half of it every time you draw it but at least the time spent drawing the sprite is consistent every frame, no matter which way it faces.

Is somebody able to provide me samples of single note instruments used by the arcade FM chip? that damn chime is hard to find...

Some do, nothing special to take care of (well, memory). Flipping spritedata in memory or drawing data reverse is not that hard to code, anyway. A few sprite bytes residing in (fast) RAM will not harm anybody seriously, o fcourse.
