In this stream, I got the attribute loading working…er, mostly. It’s loading somewhat but there’s obviously something that’s not quite working out. After a decent amount of debugging and testing, I’m still not sure exactly what’s wrong but good progress was made and we needed to wrap it up. Monday we’ll finish up the attribute loading completely, I believe, and move on to the next topic: map collision.
In this episode we re-visit the level loading code and handle the simplest case of up to 4 palettes and loading the initial attributes for the first fully-loaded screen. In Thursday’s stream, I’ll tackle loading the attributes in real-time as we update the nametable rows. Thanks for watching! See you Thursday.

This week we are joined by a couple of special guests from Mega Visions magazine. They’re working to create a Sega-focused magazine that’s worth keeping, and they had some hands-on experience with some upcoming retro game consoles. There might be a toaster that will burn the image of a famous console mascot into your bread and our listeners left their consoles on for a long time in this episode of the Retro League.
