+atari2600land Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Since I played Chu Chu Rocket for my GBA Chronogaming Blog, I thought to myself, "This looks doable for bB." Well, maybe it needs a little ASM, and that's just the question. Since in ASM you can make balls any shape you want, is this true for missiles 0 & 1? In this mockup I've made, I put eyes on the (very blocky) mice and would love to do this to the missiles. My version of Chu Chu Rocket is a little bit different though. Instead of putting arrows down, you put blocks down, which change the way the Chu Chus move (like arrows do.) There can only be four mice (player 0 & 1 and missile 0 & 1), and the ball flickers between the rocket and the cursor. (I haven't put in code yet for the Chu Chu and rocket collision.) So, what do you think so far? chuchurocket.bin default.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Regarding the square mice: I read on here some time ago that the guys in Seaquest were actually the ball. I was just wondering if someone can do the same thing with missile0 and missile1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I've tried again on this and need a little help. In the screenshot, the mice aren't in line with the checkerboard squares whenever they go down or up. They are, however, where I want them to be when they move left or right. Any help on how to get them lined up with the checkerboard squares when they're moving vertically? chuchurocket.bas chuchurocket.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 OK, I fixed it and made a little easy level. You get two blocks, and to make a block, press fire. The cursor is the black square. Once you've placed the two blocks, press fire a third time to start the mice up. Remember that if a mouse hits a block, it always goes to the right. Keep this in mind while solving. To start over again, press reset. Guide the mice to the twirling object. To ease the flickering, turn the phoshors on (that's how I made the screenshot.) chuchurocket1.bas chuchurocket1.bas.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberArcade Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Chu Chu Rocket was a cool Dreamcast game. Keep working on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 New level, gang! I noticed I actually didn't solve the mice lining-up with the squares problem, but I think I fixed it this time. And, just to avoid legal problems with Sega and Sonic Team, I think I'm going to name the final game "Nice Mice". Anyone want to try and make a title screen for me with the title screen bB thing, that'd be really nice of you. chuchurocket2.bas.bin chuchurocket2.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Chris I love Chu Chu on the Dreamcast.Keep on the good work.It plays very well. greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Here is the latest version. To make the tiled background squares, I used flickering, so if you enable phosphor, it will look better and more like the still picture. chuchurocket3.bas.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Looks good... I will check it out on my Harmony later today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You all know that the last post was from the year 2011, right? Awesome idea but a screen full of flickering blocks is a no-no. I think he should remove the checkerboard pattern and just have a blinking block for the creature redirecting object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
