Bug fixes and Buggles

Posted by s0c7, 22 April 2009 · 43 views

All known real hardware issues have been fixed (at least on on my Vader) and Asgard's destruction is a little more visually interesting now.

I've always liked the Buggles. I think they get a unfair rap because of "Video Killed the Radio Star". The entire "Age of Plastic" album is actually quite good. And some of their...

Minor changes

Still trying to root out the cause of some of the odd behavior on real hardware. In the meantime, I made a few minor changes.

Update and a request

Posted by s0c7, 13 April 2009 · 65 views

Here's my first stab at a sort of level progression (2 - 3 Frost Giants 1 - 2 - 3 Fire Giants). In testing on the real thing I've noticed something odd. Most of the time when I first power up the game is already started and I have 1 point (which screws up the level progression). Sometimes it behaves as expected (as in emulation). I'm not...

It's Ragnarok (and I feel fine)

Got it up to the point I was originally shooting for. Turns out I have a couple of hundred bytes of ROM left, so I'll need to think about that for a bit and decide how I'm going to utilize it. I'm thinking along the lines of what SpiceWare was suggesting. Possibly slower moving Frost Giants to start the game off so it's not as hard at the...

Still not done, but this one is a lot less "rough" than the last couple of versions.

I hadn't planned on posting another version until it was pretty much finished, but adding sound made it so much easier to get into a rhythm I figured I'd go ahead and post this.

OK, here we go... First playable WIP. Still rough (no sound yet, etc.). The good news is I still have plenty of space left and think I can add in everything I want and still keep it 2k.

Anyway, don't expect anything mind-blowing. This is just a simple little mini game (100% asm). It's Ragnarok, defend Asgard from the Fire Giants. It may take...

My first 100% asm project

Still isn't finished.... ;)

But I'm very happy with how far I've brought it to this point. Display, movement, movement boundaries, collision detection and scoring are complete (although some of that will have to be revisited when I make some changes to the game play that need to be made).

It clocks in right around 1k at the moment. I want...

I'm sure most of you in the US remember Sugar Crisp (and when cereal could be called "Sugar _____"). But did you know Sugar Bear had his own cartoon?

Passing of the torch

Posted by s0c7, 23 February 2009 · 44 views

My son has been playing a lot of the old NES/SNES/N64 titles on the Wii virtual console in between bouts of playing World of Goo. I kind of skipped over the whole NES/SNES thing back in the day. Went 2600->Vic-20->C-64->IBM Clone->N64->Wii. So I'm not as up to speed on the whole NES/SNES retro scene.

Imagine my surprise when I came...
