Amidar WIP

[jotd]

new quick (I hope) project in the works: Amidar (1982 arcade game) for Amiga 500




building on mspacman code base & dev methods.

Extracted dot positions & maze lines. Nothing moves yet.

So cool to see these classics now for the Amiga, keep up the good work jotd!!

[DanyPPC]

Cool !!!

I always liked Phoenix (Eagle Empire) too. Good arcade games !

[chadderack]

Right on! Similar to Triple Punch, IIRC. Nice!

[malko]

Thanks for theses ports jotd !
Keep up the excellent work

[Havie]

Amidar is a great game - played it lots when I was younger! Crush Roller next please...

[acidbottle]

You're an absolute machine jotd! Nice work again

[jotd]

cloning engines isn't very hard. Amidar is simpler than Pacman (except for the filling sections that require a bit of logic)

Update: main character moves according to the maze, enemies are visible and animated. They don't move yet.

Maybe, but doing it requires time .
That's one small step for computing, one giant leap for Amiga software library .

intro is done too but forgot to enable it for the vid...

[prometeo]

Can't remember how much money I dropped in the arcade at the time...
Nice work!

WoW !!!

You are my hero, perfect conversion

I am making an Amidar remake with new content for PC mixed with girls like Gals Panic.

.

The even levels code has given me a lot of headaches. Anyway I am a self-taught and inexperienced programmer. I am using Gdevelop, it's based in Java.

How hard is to overlap something like this on current Amiga code for a sequel? Possibly with a greyscale to color transition at end level rather than keep the figure colored during the game a la gals panic

My game is very simple except for the masking sprite effect, this can be replaced by translucent/dithering sprites covering the background girl or by an effect like in the arcade Wonder Stick:

Unfortunately I don't know code for Amiga

[jotd]

even levels must be approached with a good method. There should be 3 states for the painted lines: not painted, temp painted, fully painted. And it should be possible to rollback a whole rectangle if the painter switches rectangles without completing the current one.

not trivial.

A sequel using AGA and nude pics? Shouldn't be a problem

[saimon69]

Can be done in ECS too in my opinion, this is a static screen, so a momentary pic in greyscale/chromatic for in-game and then switch the final to HAM or EHB with dynamic palette imo at end level

It would be great that effect in AGA version.
