Commander X16

Modern game controllers usually have 2 analog sticks, which allows for a type of game called "twin stick shooter". One stick is used to move around with, while the other is used to aim independently of the movement. I made an experiment to kinda approach this control scheme on the X16. It ...

Oh, it doesn't use double buffering. It draws all the pre-rotated lines as quickly as it can after clearing the display. That's why you still see it flickering, because this process takes longer than a frame to complete

I don't really understand what you mean with "with a buffer". I can explain globally how it works and you can maybe follow along in the source code for the details: - the ship is made up of points and lines stored in arrays. - the points are rotated using a 3x3 rotation matrix that is appl...

It is one of the commander x16 examples that ship with Prog8. 3100 https://github.com/irmen/prog8/blob/master/examples/cx16/cobramk3-gfx.p8 (By the way, I don't know if you already knew this, but here is the directory with the whole bunch of Prog8 example programs: https://github.com/irmen/prog8/tre...

Updated the zip file in the first post:
* fixed an error in one of the included demo images
* paint now uses a crosshair cursor for drawing instead of the hand.

:idea: Prog8 version 10.3 has been released: https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases/tag/v10.3 There's a change in this version that's not backwards compatible with older code, so it may be required to make some simple changes: It is now possible (and required) to assign all values returned from a r...

Impressive stuff as results of learning projects, I must say!

I've looked at Fabien Sanglard's code review and analysis of Another World too. Are you aware that he made a C reimplementation of the full engine as well? https://github.com/fabiensanglard/Anoth ... nterpreter

It doesn't work well on the web emulator, I think there are some filesystem incompatibilities. Maybe triggered by the ISO mode. Or maybe path parsing is not working correctly.

It works fine in the regular emulator and on hardware

^ Clever!!!

I am so not used to the new basic commands like POINTER.

Ok in the next release of Prog8 (10.3 once it is finished), you can do this $ p8compile -target cx16 dummy -float2bytes "-9.87654321" -9.87654321 in bytes on 'cx16': 132,158,6,82,44 $ p8compile -target cx16 dummy -bytes2float 132,158,6,82,44 floating point value on 'cx16': -9.8765432089567...
