Hi everybody!
The first week of programming is over. Coincidently I had vacation this week, so I managed to have some solid progress right at the start. :-) There is an inital level with platforms and ladders where the player can walk and climb. The player bob is already animated and can also fall to its death. Additional elements like bombs and conveyers are already visible, but not yet animated or functioning. BTW: This is not my first AMOS-game, but it's the first time the player movement and animation is entirely written in AMAL. It's a powerful sub-language with structural similarities to Assembler. Tricky at times, but definitly worth checking out in more detail. Please also find attached a first screenshot. :-) |

Week 2: After building the base game logic, I put my focus on animating the game. I managed to have the conveyor belts move left and right using color cycling. I also made the large white dots (they a pills that will give you a shield for some time) twinkle using color register manipulation with the Flash operation.
Also, I changed the bombs to (P)bobs and animated them. They will now explode if you walk over them. However, this led to a significant frame drop on the A500. It's fine on the A1200, but on the A500 it will need additional optimization... |

Week 3: I managed to optimize performance on the A500 by defining AMAL-programs earlier. I also switched to use the Turbo-Extension for the pasting of icons, which further improved speed. Now I still need to tinker with timing and double buffering, because there's a lot of flickering right now.
