8BP

[jjaranda13]

hi guys

8BP V33 is just now available at https://github.com/jjaranda13/8BP
this new version includes:
- sprite flipping ( allows save RAM )
- overwrite with 1 or 2 bits for backgrounds ( 2 or 4 colour backgrounds)
- pseudo 3d improved with capacity for segments with overwrite
- improved ink rotation command (RINK) with any number of inks to rotate
- 1.400 bytes for music, 8.4KB for graphics, 24.5 KB for Basic
- improved manual



enjoy it!

That's extremely impressive in regards to the pseudo 3D. Is the pseudo 3D compiled?

The pseudo-3D is not compiled. All my games and demos run using interpreted Locomotive BASIC. They are BASIC programs using 8BP RSX library, but fully pure interpreted BASIC

It's not compiled and it already moves that smoothly and fast! Very nice indeed.
Is there any chance creating a compiled version as it would be interesting to see the results?
I think an F-Zero type game would be possible as that particular game focuses on the speed of the road and doesn't have scaling objects (trees,buildings etc).

Fantastic indeed!


Why go with fzero when you can make a 3d river raid

new version: V39

library:8bitsdepoder_v39_001.asm is now included with the following improvements:         

command | COLSPALL, id: now scan from collider id + 1       

command | MUSIC: now accepts a new parameter that allows the sound channel C to be released while the music is playing for use in sound effects with BASIC SOUND

command PRINTSPALL : now first print and then animate, so that the first frame of an explosion will be printed. So far when an animation sequence was assigned, the first frame was not printed because it first animated and then printed         

Now the PRINTSP and PRINTSPALL commands can use images located in any memory area, even outside the space allocated by the 8BP library for sprites.         

Fixed a minibug detected in a specific case of overwriting manual:

I have updated the manual reflecting the changes in the library

Demos: all demos are collected in a menu and made with v39. now there is a new demo to try music and FX at the same time
