OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage) is an open source engine to play Beats of Rage. Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and modifiable game engine made by Senile Team and inspired by Sega’s classic Streets of Rage series. The term “modifiable” means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-’em-up game, which is then called a “mod”.

In this episode, we fixed the ship physics so that the negative velocities are properly capped. We ran into a strange issue that ended up taking a lot of time to fix in the beginning of the stream, but then moved onto loading the title screen using simple run-length encoding. As I mentioned on the stream, if you’re interested in watching me work on the tools that we’ll be using for tile loading, compression, etc. let me know in the comments. I was originally thinking that I’d simply focus on 6502 assembly but if people are interested in watching me work on the tools too I’m happy to do so.
