Programming / Re: Zoom effect on certain screen area or sprite

« Last post by SpDizzy on Today at 00:15 »

Thanks so much for your response Alejandro, I really appreciate your time. I didn't knew zoomscroll source was published on BF thread. I'm really curious about zoom thecniques for a little project. In fact I'm really curious about all the magic behind the computer that gives me hours and hours of joy many years ago when was a child, and still do it today. Specific those game related, so my dream is to develop something playable on my own. You know, just a nostalgic trying to revive those times. Thanks again, your talent got me shocked. Waiting for pinball dreams!!

General Discussion - Introductions / Re: OCP Art Studio Color Map

« Last post by dionisisg on Yesterday at 23:23 »

I have been working long hours lately but i am still in the process of making all available CPC color palettes for a glossy print version just for the fun of it, the shop i will print my "book" requires a minimum of 10 copies and the price will be determined by the quality of the paper and binding used. Is anyone interested in acquiring a copy? I am not selling these, the price will be the amount it will cost me to print them + any postage costs to ship them to anyone interested. Also this will take some to complete as i do not have much free time available at the moment.

TLDR (not all of it), but the question remains, what kind of witchcraft is this?

I've just done an update to...

" PUZZNIC "

I've worked on the fantastic version by @arnoldemu and BDCIron/GOB!!!! found in the following thread. 

http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/puzznic/msg91673/#msg91673

I've done this update as I prefer to access the retry / quit menu using the second button on the joypad instead of the console pause button.

The game would let you redefine the controls, but you couldn't remap retry to joypad button 2, therefore I've made the game Joypad only with button 2 now being used for retry.

Now that the Console Pause Button is free, I've made it so that you can access the cheat mode (Infinite Retry) with it.

During the game, press Joypad Button 2 to access the Retry menu, then press the Console Pause Button (no sound will confirm the activation).

After the Infinite Retry cheat mode has been activated, you can now also press the Console Pause Button to Skip Level. 

I've included both the original version and the plus palette version.

Awesome work! This is great news

Hi!The 3 fxs of the gif are 3 different techniques and there are many more, everything depends on the context where you want to apply it but, if you are curious, the zoomscroll source code is published in the BF thread at cpcrulez.

Got to admit, had to google this one.

@Devlin , have you tried the GoodCPC romset?

Yep, both images in the GoodCPC 3.1415 package are missing the loading/title screen.
the game was originally distributed on tape - the only tape image i've found online however is also missing the loading/title screen.
