Goldorak [ wip ] CPC version

[GUNHED]

As far as I know, smooth scrolling requires to have a split screen, because you need to compensate in one screen the lines you add to the other to keep the total amount constant. But if you know a simpler way to do it I would be happy to hear it.

What I would do for the most simple scrolling...
- in Y, set the number of scan lines per character to '2' instead of '8'. Put value 1 into CRTC Register 9 for this (it contains number of scan lines -1). This allows: Simple scroll in Y, 2 scan lines per scroll event (or more if you want).
- in X: Usual 2-pixel-wise = byte-wise scroll using CRTC Reg. 3

Being more close to a single pixel can be achieved by using different screens. Somewhere on my homepage is a racing game from a computer magazine (a type in), which is using pixel-precise scrolling.

Yeah, I think I'd forgotten some details like fiddling with R9 for part of the display at least. Like I said, it's been a long time since I played around with it 

That said, what I'd do is use the Plus SSCR, because it's way easier.

Going to write in a few minutes about the preview release.

Can I put the .CPR on my web site ? No problem if you prefer that it stays on official site and AmigaMuseum.

Hello Genesi8!

Sorry for this late response, I completely forgot that I had posted here...
So yes, you can put the CPR on your site!
Thank you for your interest in our project.

That said, I come with some fresh news!

"Citizens of Earth, this is Actarus, prince of Euphor!
The forces of Vega, led by the fearsome Golgoths, struck mercilessly, destroying the Alcorak and capturing my faithful friend Alcor.

The situation is serious, but all hope is not lost!
As Goldorak, you must traverse hostile territories - from lush green plains to erupting volcanoes, from rugged mountains to the deep sea - to save Alcor and repel the enemy invasion.
Only the bravest and most skilled among you will be able to overcome the endless waves of enemies and face the fearsome Vega motherships!

Join me in this epic battle, gather the remains of the Alcorak and deliver our planet from the yoke of Vega.
The fate of the Earth is in your hands...

Starting June 28, 2024, prepare to pilot Goldorak and fight the Golgoths to defend our world!"

Goldorak arrives June 28, 2024 on GX4000 and Amstrad Plus!
