Chips remake. - Page 3

The play area would fit on an ntsc screen, so the levels would be the same. The panel would have to be replaced by something covering parts of the main board. Sprites maybe? Menu redone with smaller fonts. Gfx-wise not that big of a change. Code would be a huge headache for sandruzzo since it depends on pal timings. It runs on ntsc but is way too fast and unplayable.

I've been getting feedback from a lot of folks playing the game and it seems many are enjoying it

It's very easy to add more levels to the game. They're just plaint txt files stored in the Raw/Level0 drawer.

Here's the level00.txt file (and the resultting level above):

Code:

06
08
100
100
0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,1,1,0,1,2,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,3,4,0,4,4,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

X starting position (00-12)
Y starting position (00-08)
Moves (000-999)
Time (000-999)
Layout 13x9, 1-4 separated bu commas.

You don't have to include all colors but each color should have at least to two starting tiles.

Hope someone tries their hand at making a few levels

In case you missed it, the demo is out now.

I want to tell Thanks to ppill and simone69 These guys are amazing. We did a great job together!

Now we're moving toward next one, which will be a little bit challenging sinc I want try to do it with 64 colors and parallax.

Maybe something has changed as both links are responding (v1.31 (68k) & v1.4 (OS4)) .

No worries. Loved the moments of hesitation when you figured out you got stuck

ppill · 13 May 2020, 17:45

Version 2 of the Beta/Demo is out.
Changes:
- fixed a gameplay bug that allowed you to move "behind" tiles
- after dying and pressing ESC, Restart is the default button
- you can move by holding down the direction on the joystick (same applies to keyboard).
- joystick now works in the Options menu.

Also made a Hires 4 color icon for the game.

Enjoy!

What was the bug? No one mentioned it before.

The text on the main menu was all black, you could see a slight change when you moved between settings so it was usable, and the game itself was fine.
