Got a whole lot of stuff sorted, yesterday.
-=-=- The odd top-layer corruption was figured out, eventually. Turns out that, even though that "slice" was set to being a single-layer thing, it still seemed to want me to give it both a foreground and a background bitmap. Adding both solved the weird corruption, and all was golden! Once I figured out what was causing that, it was on to adding scores, getting the score display to work in a fast enough manner (took a bit of optimising, but I got there eventually) and then on to the audio. I was hoping that by keeping "sounds" in channels 1 and 3, and then music in channels 2 and 4, I could get both working simultaneously, but.. Nope, it didn't seem to like that at all, and threw a major wobbler. If you're keeping score, this was Amiga-crash number 3! The Music's now out, and so there's only the lonely monotonous bouncing of the ball to keep your ears entertained, alongside those traditionally increasing-pitched beeps as you pass the spikes. The game is now in a nicely playable status. Today I need to write a pseudo-random generator, as the internal Blitz Rnd command doesn't appear to have any kind of seeding available. Hmm.. Shouldn't be too hard. I think I'll be able to mostly copy the code I've previously written in SmileBASIC, but whether it'll be fast.. No idea.. The game should probably also have a titlescreen, but .. *shrugs* I have a tendency to just leave my SpikeDislike-Tests as rather plain, don't I.. With any luck, the game should be ready for release later today. View on YouTube Views 80, Upvotes 15
