Thanks DisasterIncarna! I appreciate the sharing, it really helps me to learn by example.

I ended up looking into the Amos Turbo extension examples and it is very smooth on my A2000! Now to add some Bobs!

I also noticed an extension in Aminet: http://aminet.net/package/dev/amos/stars
Anyone have any experience with that one? I might give it a go.

Thanks again all!

Never actually tried any amos extensions back in the day, or recently, probably should have, oh and adding bobs? i had a similar idea, probably shoulda made bullets sprites tho.

Demonstration ahoy, some crappy bobs i drew up and throwing in some classic music for the feels.

[GamerGrug]

ok that is REALLY awesome! thank you!
I had another go last night but yours looks a lot better than the Turbo example, and my Bob is not sitting nicely on screen 1.. a lot of interference/corruption? Apparently Turbo uses interrupt to draw stars so I cannot do double buffering - would that be the reason? Attached (hopefully) is my code so far (but I am going to try your stars tonight).

[DisasterIncarna]

yeah didnt use double buffering, did all the updates manually, heres an archive with a program, 1 shooty sound and an iff used for 2 player ships and their laser beam, basically the bare minimum, remember im doin this via emulation, this will probably choke the real thing, its meant to be a demo of the starfield, which does work.

Add in bobs/etc and it will probably implode on a proper amiga, disable them and it will work fine, the idea is to see how the statr work and bolt something
similar into your own work, thats why what i made has no tricks/screen copys/screen offsetting/etc because your own routines will be doing something similar.

Theres far better examples out there, this is mostly for someone to look at and immediately become inspired to improve on this junk by 1000%, again i only did it because ive never tried anything like this and certainly havent used amos in ages, so wanted to give it a shot

Feel free to use/abuse it as you wish, can also use the shitty bobs i drew up in dpaint if you are reall desperate and scraping the barrel

[GamerGrug]

Hi @DisasterIncarna, didnt get a chance to try your code last night, hopefully tonight.. Can you see any reason in my code the bob is playing up? Any way to fix? I am sure it is something super simple.

[DisasterIncarna]

probably due to the lack of double buffer, or if not using double buffer, doing a simple Wait Vbl : Screen Swap
.

[GamerGrug]

Hi DisasterIncarna, tried loading up your code but AMOS 2 tells me it is not an AMOS program when loading the AMOS file? Are you able to check or send to me as a text file?

I also tried adding Wait Vbl : Screen Swap to my existing code but it did not help, it just slowed it down?

[DisasterIncarna]

not an amos program? damn, i must have resaved it in amos pro unity, ill redo it in regular amos pro, once i find out why my normal amos pro is complaining about missing files.

[GamerGrug]

No hurry, I noticed you posted a txt version on page one of this thread? Is that the same thing?

Hi,

Here is the nineth Amos code example : today a rotating tetrahedron.
You can find it here : https://github.com/alain-treesong/am...09_tetrahedron

A little video : [ Show youtube player ]

Everybody can now code a nice and smooth cracktro screen in Amos with all the published examples.

And happy new year of course.

Good one alain.treesong and Happy New year all

Hello,

Here is the tenth Amos code example, this time about the use of hardware sprites :

https://github.com/alain-treesong/am...pritesWithJack

I use the game Bomb Jack as an example. The idea is not to do a new port but this game which I like has easily available assets that are perfect to use with Amiga sprites.

Look good and it is good to learn

Hello,

I have published a new snippet that shows how to code the copper and display an image like this one :
