Been working on the game a bit and last night I started on an attempt to do the logo, it's a million miles away from an exact copy, but it's okay.

Martin

Very nice! Exact copies are overrated in my book. Emulation has been around for years now. I'm more in to seeing people reimplement (simulate maybe?) than create exact copies.

Cool! Did you draw it small with 10px each letter and then just upsized it in your code, or did you draw it at the final size?

SteveZX81

Nope I'm too dumb to think of an easy way to do it, lol. I created it at the full size (which took me quite some time)

@SteveZX81 how do you load a title screen before your game like that i can only
do simple text with button press ?
loving your classic reworks btw

spikey

@SteveZX81 this is pragmatic and allows full control. I just asked because I am intrested in all kinds of custom fonts for our game projects.

@waldron you could make a function called titleScreen() at the beginning of your main loop and within that function create a loop that continues while you haven't hit "a".

loop
      titleScreen()
      // your main game code here
repeat

function titleScreen()
      c = controls(0)
      while !c.a loop
            printAt("To continue press A ...")
            // enter all of your code for your title screen here!
      repeat
return void

Well, I am now utterly stuck with the game and it won't evole from here, so here is a video of as far as I got with the game. (yes, I'm aware of the sound problem with some explosions)

Martin

What are you stuck on? That looks great!
