Today I fixed some odd bugs in the way mirroring worked on real hardware, the way that the status bar flickered on real hardware, and then took on the task of getting the map export to properly export metatiles in the correct order so that we had a consistent way of loading palettes into the PPU. I discussed how we will handle loading the palettes directly from generated on the next stream as well as how we will likely handle multiple levels. Hope to see you Thursday! Thanks for those who watched!

The video begins in a strange way and gets stranger, but then, ideally, you understand why.

In this rather short stream, I updated our palette to match the color palette of FCEUX, and added the ability to select and update the colors in the metatile and sprite palettes. Sorry for being thick-witted tonight, but hopefully I’ll be back to my normal self Monday. As a reward for your patience, if you watch to the end you’ll see what I have in store for the game’s core mechanic. Have a good weekend. See you Monday

In this episode I got palette data exporting more or less how I wanted and was able to load meta-tile palettes manually into the PPU to see what they looked like on the emulator. I found that we’ve run into a problem because the screen is only 30 tiles high as opposed to 32 so I need to figure out how I’m going to modify the palette attributes to accommodate. Next time, we’ll work on that and remove some of the fakery involved in getting the palettes loaded into the system. Thanks for watching and see you Thursday!
