NES Programming #38 - More attributes, and then some

Quote:

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.

Video: NES Programming #37 – Attributes! Attributes everywhere!

Michael Chiaramonte shows us more NES Programming.

NES Programming #37 - Attributes! Attributes everywhere!

Quote:

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.

Halcyon v2018.06.20 (WIP) (NES Game)

Halcyon for NES is heavily inspired by Blaster Master and Metroid. Code by Nathan Tolbert and graphics by @FrankenGraphics. The goal is to have the game ready sometime in 2020.

Finally getting around to adding the ability to get in/out of the tank. Time to work on some flicker management next — the tank plus character uses 6 of 8 sprites at their maximum width.

Working on hard/new-game-plus mode: one-ups become 20-crystal power-ups and timer and enemies move faster. Right-side is hard, left is normal. #nesdev #gamedev
